A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 288 The end of the year
For the work of Hunter x Hunter, the early plot is relatively slow.

From the time when the protagonist Xiaojie leaves Whale Island, to meeting Leorio and Kurapika on the road, to the trio taking a boat to the hunter assessment site, and establishing a certain friendship after encountering a storm.

On the way to the assessment site, the bus driver arranged by the Hunter Association deliberately took them to take a long detour.

There is an old woman in a strange deserted village who guides candidates to a dead end full of monsters and beasts.

There is also a couple of monsters who can deceive people to mislead a group of people
Generally speaking, these plots are quite interesting, fighting wits and courage throughout the whole process, but it is
Give fans a feeling of unfinished business.

Isn't this manga a fighting manga?
why.
So far, the protagonist Xiaojie has not even appeared in a decent battle?

Of course, the old lady in the deserted city gave an alternative answer, and the man who wanted to cheat them died at the hands of the beast. It's cool, but the protagonist has not shown much, and it really feels awkward.

But when this manga was serialized to the sixth chapter, finally, the hunter assessment competition that fans have been thinking about began.

Take the boat, take the bus, fly with the monsters, and then take the elevator down to the depths of the ground.
The plot of the first six episodes of Hunter is constantly changing scenes.

As for chapter six.
Hundreds of them passed the previous assessment and came to the assessment site.

Perverted Hisoka, Dongba, Ninja Hanzo, gloomy boy Qi Ya
Then, it was the first level of the hunter exam. It turned out that a large group of people ran a marathon under the leadership of the examiner?

"It's finally the hunter exam. It feels like this manga has entered the main line."

"It took a month and a half to enter the main line, which is really procrastinating."

"I think it's not bad. Those small postgraduate entrance examinations in the early stage are quite interesting."

"In the protagonist trio, only Kurapika has an IQ, and Leorio is a character with well-developed limbs and a simple mind."

"But the new character Hisoka is quite interesting, and I kind of like this pervert."

"That Dongba is also very interesting. He took the hunter exam for the purpose of defrauding the candidates? I don't understand, what good does this kind of thing that hurts others and does not benefit himself?"

"I feel that this work has a different style from all the old thief's previous works."

"I also have this feeling. The character design of this work is obviously much better. In the old thief's previous works, there were very few supporting roles, and the story basically revolved around the protagonist. But Hunter x Hunter is completely different. On the contrary, I like I'm not particularly interested in Xiaojie's performance, I prefer to watch the plot of Leorio and Kurapika."

"I like a real villain like Dongba, he is really funny."

"Actually, I like Hisoka. This character is perverted like me. It is really suitable for the artist of Mo Ran to draw such a perverted character."

"But from the looks of it, the old thief's manga should be very long, and I don't know how long the hunter exam will be serialized? I really want to wait until the serialization of this plot is completed before reading it in one go."

"Forget it, don't mention such unrealistic words. Unless you don't buy the North Comic Journal. Otherwise, the first page of this journal will be the comic chapter of Hunter x Hunter. I don't believe you can bear it."

"Oh, the old thief is really annoying! Why does he create so many works at the same time and can't focus on the full-time hunter and update three episodes a week?"

"You're right. It takes a year to build a house, but it can be built in four months with three times the number of people?"

"That's right."

After the serialization of the sixth chapter of Hunter x Hunter, the first big chapter of this work kicked off.

The topic of discussion among fans of this comic on the Internet has also changed from being slow in the past few weeks, feeling that there is no main line and boring, to a discussion on the character design of the characters in this chapter.

During the release process of Cyberpunk 2077bd, Xia Yan also paid attention to the online public opinion of Hunter x Hunter all the time.

Xia Yan himself knows very well that Hunter x Hunter is a juvenile fighting manga, and the early stage of the story is a little bit slow.

But in fact, if you look at the whole work from the perspective of the whole work, you can find the ingenious setting of the early plot of this work by Yoshihiro Togashi.

For example, Kurapika's eyes will turn red when he sees a spider, which is obviously reflecting the Phantom Troupe.

Why does Leorio like money?The answer will soon be revealed in Dragon Kingdom.

Most importantly, in the sixth chapter of the manga, Xiaojie asked the two why they wanted to participate in the hunter assessment to become hunters.

What Leorio said was that he was doing it for money, and wanted to become a treasure hunter to make a lot of money and live a good life after becoming a hunter.

But Kurapika said that the reason why he wants to become a hunter is because this profession is the greatest profession in the world, which can benefit mankind and promote social progress.

Fans of Longguo who have only read the sixth chapter of this manga can't feel what's wrong with the answer of the two at this time?
But Xia Yan, who knew the following plot, was actually deeply moved when he was drawing the storyboard draft of this plot.

Could it be that Yoshihiro Togashi had laid the groundwork here in the early days of this manga?
Because behind the comics, Kurapika failed to become a hunter who benefited mankind and contributed to promoting social progress.

Because of his hatred, he became a treasure hunter, served as the bodyguard of some rich people, and helped them find treasures.

Instead, Leorio became a doctor.

The two lived each other's ideals.

The hunter's work, the first time you read it, you won't feel particularly deep, but when you watch it the second time, there are many words and choices made by the characters in the early stage, which will make you feel distressed inexplicably.

November ends.
December is coming.

The weather in the Modu area dropped sharply. Xia Yan, Mo Ran, Song Lingyun and Tang Yin all put on winter clothes.

Xia Yan and Song Lingyun are classmates, and both are juniors.

Besides, I was still majoring in literature. At this time, there were basically fewer courses in the school. Compared with the sophomore year, the number of courses was reduced by half.

So there were no classes for two days in a row. As for Mo Ran, as a senior, she had already had no classes, and basically only needed to spend a certain amount of time processing her graduation thesis.

Moreover, Mo Ran is different from her classmates. In the past two years of cooperating with Xia Yan, Xia Yan has earned hundreds of millions, and she has also earned tens of millions. She doesn't have to worry about life work, and she is addicted to comic creation all day long. Inextricable.

Unlike Xia Yan, who has so many works that cause distraction, Mo Ran is very dedicated, and she enjoys creating comics.

In the early morning, the four of them sat at the dining table and had dinner together.

"Speaking of Xia Yan, aren't you going to introduce any superpower elements in the manga of Hunter x Hunter? Just let the protagonist fight with physical strength?" Mo Ran asked while sipping bread.

"Well, there will be in the future, but it will be realized after more than ten or twenty episodes. At this stage, the protagonist's battle mainly depends on his brain." Xia Yan picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and said with a smile.

After all, the few people present could be said to be his only three friends in the world, and one of them was her girlfriend. He did not shy away from discussing these topics, and he was not worried that it would be leaked.

"But Song Lingyun, you have to relax a bit. You are making drafts while eating." At this time, Tang Yin who was beside her looked at Song Lingyun who was writing something with her head down.

"Thank you, but don't worry about me. I recently competed with "Crimson Abyss" for the second place in the journal. The serialized plots in this month are very important, and must be carefully considered."

Song Lingyun's face was slightly pale. Her new novel Judgment has been serialized for more than a year, and her popularity has also accumulated, but because she has squeezed her sleep time for two consecutive months to write novels, her complexion looks a little weak.

"Maintaining your ranking must be carried out while paying attention to your health." Tang Yin and Song Lingyun have known each other for several years. Although there is an age gap between the two, they are definitely good girlfriends. At this time, I feel distressed speak.

"That's what the loser does." Song Lingyun looked at Tang Yin and then at Xia Yan.

"The author of Crimson Abyss was also the leading light novel genius in Long Kingdom back then. If I want to defeat him, in addition to competing with him in talent, I have to compete hard to win. I have to sacrifice something to a certain extent." Song Lingyun said softly.

After Xia Yan and Tang Yin looked at each other, he wanted to say something, but he stopped talking.

Considering Song Lingyun's age, he was only 20 years old, and it was an exaggeration to be able to maintain the third place in the Liuli Journal for a long time.

But the reason why she is so persistent and wants to go further is of course very simple.

Among the three most popular works in Liuli Journal, Xia Yan's "Sword Art Online" is the most popular, followed by "Crimson Abyss" and Song Lingyun's "Extreme Realm".

If Song Lingyun wanted to challenge Xia Yan, at least she had to make her work rank second in the journal.

Both Xia Yan and Tang Yin were aware of her thoughts, so it was hard to say anything.

Tell her not to work so hard?Xia Yan is hanging on, why bother?
With such words, it is estimated that with Song Lingyun's personality, he would ignore the two of them for at least a month, because it was obviously looking down on her.

"You two feel weird recently." At this time, Mo Ran was eating oranges beside her, looking at Xia Yan and Tang Yin with interesting eyes.

"Oh, what's so weird?" Tang Yin's heart skipped a beat, and she clenched her fingers tightly.

"Anyway, the atmosphere is weird, like the previous eye contact, it always feels quite intimate." Mo Ran thoughtfully.

Song Lingyun, who lowered her head and was writing something in her notebook, also raised her head and looked at the two of them in confusion.

"This is because you think too much." The smile on Tang Yin's face froze.

"Xia Yan and I meet every day in the company, and it's normal to have a tacit understanding. After all, animation production takes a lot of time to communicate."

The relationship between Tang Yin and Xia Yan has not been clarified with Song Lingyun and Mo Ran. At first, they thought it would be awkward for the four of them to get along after it was announced.

Now, it was not announced at the beginning, and I don’t want to take the initiative to announce it later.

"Hey, that's it!" Mo Ran and Song Lingyun dispelled the doubts in their minds after looking at Xia Yan and Tang Yin a few more times.

After all, the two had never been in a relationship before, and their associative power was not too rich. When Tang Yin said this, the two of them believed it.

After breakfast, Song Lingyun and Mo Ran stayed at home to create their works, while Xia Yan drove to the company with Tang Yin.

In the car
"I said that the two of us feel like having an affair. We are obviously in a normal relationship, but we are worried about being discovered." Tang Yin leaned her head on the car window, her voice was a little speechless.

"Then tell them about our relationship!" Xia Yan laughed while driving.

"What are you talking about? After I told you, I guess the two of them will move out of the house immediately, and they don't want to be the two of us light bulbs." Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan and said.

"But it will be a matter of time before they find out." Xia Yan thought for a while and said.

"Let's talk about it later." Tang Yin looked out the car window.

"And" Tang Yin hesitated to speak.

"And what?" Xia Yan waited for a long time, but did not hear the following.

"I said Xia Yan, do you really not feel it at all?" Tang Yin turned her head to look at Xia Yan.

"What do you feel?" Xia Yan was puzzled.

"You. With half the EQ of the male characters in your novels, you understand everything." Tang Yin sighed.

"Really?" Xia Yan thought for a while, but if he couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to.

That's what he is.

After I came to the company, I had initial negotiations with some manufacturers who wanted to cooperate with the company to release Lelouch merchandise, about the percentage of shares.

Lelouch Animation has only started production for a month now, but in fact, its partners from major sections have already flocked to it.

Both Xia Yan Moyuan and Cyberpunk Edgewalker have made huge profits in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.

Shan Xiayan's personal income is hundreds of millions or even a billion, and those cooperative manufacturers who do not cooperate with Xia Yan will eat their mouths full of oil.

Several manufacturers that have a relatively good relationship with Xia Tang Animation Company have also earned hundreds of millions of Dragon National Coins in the past few years for the distribution of Xia Yan's works. A series of IP copyright development industries have formed a chain.

So although Xiatang Animation Production Company doesn't have any animation works that are broadcast now, even the release of the animation of the lower part of 2077 hardly requires Xia Yan's effort.

But coming to the company every day to negotiate with these partners and sign contracts also takes up a considerable amount of experience for Xia Yan.

At the end of early December, snow fell in the Modu area.

The whole city was covered in silver.

Under such circumstances, the seventh chapter of Hunter x Hunter manga was serialized.

But the serialized plot of this episode has significantly improved the ratings and public opinion of this comic.

On the Nine Heavens Forum, Hunter's rating rose from 9.2 to 9.4 overnight.

The plot of this episode continues where the hunter assessment officially started in the previous episode.

After the team led by the examiner started the ultra-long-distance high-speed underground cave marathon, all the participants also fell into the danger of the hunter exam in various ways.

Compared with the beasts that emerge endlessly during the examination, the most dangerous thing in the hunter assessment is the human heart.

Dongba, this fat man with a simple and honest face, takes part in the hunter exam every year for the pleasure of entrapping newcomers.

Deliberately brought the protagonists Jay, Kurapika, and Leorio into a forked cave passage that releases hallucinatory aromas.

Both Leorio and Kurapika fell into hallucinations.

Kurapika's hallucinations are not shown, but people are almost insane, but Leorio's hallucinations are shown in detail, and, through his hallucinations, let the audience know for the first time why he likes money.
And, why did he become a hunter.

The reason why the plot of Hunter x Hunter will make comic readers feel touched, which leads to an increase in the rating of the work, is because of Leorio's memories.
