Nov 17, 2022 at 7:29 comment added Francesco Polizzi In fact, this approach only works in the case where the variety that we blow-up has trivial canonical class. So, for instance, we might look for a Calabi-Yau threefold $Y$ with $\chi_{\operatorname{top}}(Y)=-2$ and blow-up it at a point (this is the strategy of Sasha's answer).
Nov 17, 2022 at 7:22 comment added Francesco Polizzi @abx: you are clearly right. I realized this as soon as I took paper and pencil :)

Nov 17, 2022 at 4:26 comment added abx @Francesco Polizzi: it doesn't exist. The canonical system of the blown-up variety has a fixed part, namely the 4 exceptional divisors.
Nov 16, 2022 at 22:16 comment added Francesco Polizzi @JasonStarr: Actually, I do not know whether it exists. It is part of my "What happens..."
Nov 16, 2022 at 21:33 comment added Jason Starr @FrancescoPolizzi. Why is there a smooth irreducible divisor in the canonical linear system of that blowing up?
Nov 16, 2022 at 18:25 comment added user283487 @FrancescoPolizzi Thank you for your example!
Nov 16, 2022 at 17:47 comment added Francesco Polizzi What happens if you consider the blow-up at 4 points of the product $C \times C \times C$, where $C$ is a smooth curve of genus $2$?
