A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 289 Popularity
Originally, the role of Leorio appeared as an image of a greedy uncle. What became a bounty hunter after becoming a hunter, and the dream of a treasure hunter also made readers' impression of him slightly solidified.

But in his memory of this sentence.
The story of him and his childhood friend Piedo is the first place where Hunter's work directly hits the hearts of the audience.

There is actually a big gap between the fighting comics in the Dragon Kingdom and those long bloody fighting comics in the island country in Xia Yan's parallel world.

These local works of Longguo actually focus more on the protagonist, and they are all relaxed and refreshing.

It's a bit similar to the relaxed fighting style of One Punch Man in the parallel world.

And the portrayal of the characters is not so delicate.

But in the island country's full-length and passionate comics in the parallel world, let alone the protagonist has a lot of memories to kill, even the supporting roles have a lot.

So at the beginning, many viewers wanted to scold the plot of the seventh chapter of Hunter x Hunter when they saw that it was full of Leorio's memories.

It’s okay if the main story is pushed so slowly, the protagonist doesn’t even have childhood memories of the plot, your supporting role recalls a thread?
Don't worry, hurry up and push the main line of the hunter assessment!
But in fact, after reading this episode, many comic viewers' eyes turned red.

Memory killing is indeed a double-edged sword. If the plot is not well set, it will make the audience impatient and want to abandon the pit every minute.

But if the setting is good, its function is also very obvious, allowing the audience to have a sense of substitution for the supporting role, and it will not happen that after reading the whole comic, you only know the name of the main character, but you don’t know what the supporting role is?
Typical characters are Sauron, Nami, Sanji in Pirates, Sasuke, Neji, and Xiao Li in Naruto.

Some of them are even more popular than the protagonist because of the good memory killing plot.

These characters have memory killing plots, so the audience has a deep sense of substitution for them, and once saw their plots, they would cry.On the contrary, those who don't do this in the plot, such as Tenten, Ino, and Choji in Hokage, feel transparent in the later stages.

Leorio's memories, or his demons, come from money.

The hallucination of his best friend Piedo, who died of serious illness due to lack of money when he was young, appeared in his mind.

Talk to him, talk to him.

[I must become a hunter to earn a lot of money, and use that money to become a doctor. 】

【Then, in the future, if I meet people like you who have no money for medical treatment, I will treat them for free. 】

In the comics, when Leorio and Piedo's hallucinations talked for half a comic, and then turned around, they saw the hallucinations of their friend Piedo, which became a decayed bone.

hallucination, always hallucination
No matter how much the friend Piedo in the hallucination talks to Leorio, he can't hide the fact that he has been dead for a long time.

【You'd better die too. If you die, you can come to my world. People will always die when they live, so there is nothing to worry about.Frankly speaking, you are not expected to be a doctor either, and if you die, the two of us can have a good get-together.Don't leave me alone, Leorio..] Piedo's dry bones, and his words to Leorio, made the style of the manga change suddenly.

The audience thought they were watching horror comics when they saw this.

However, when Leorio walked halfway with Piedo, he suddenly lowered his head and said.

【I think, I still can't go to your place. 】

【Why. 】Piedo's dry bones asked back.

[Maybe, I'm just dreaming, and I don't have much confidence.But... I don't want my life to end like this. 】

[I want to cure those children who are sick like you, and then tell the parents of those children]

[It's okay, I don't need money to see a doctor. 】

Leorio in the comics, his eyes are bright at the moment, tears can't stop flowing, looking at the dead bones of his friends.
There is no sound, no background music, just black and white cartoons, and delicate depictions of the characters' eyes.

But the fiery and lofty heart of this character is conveyed from the comic paper.

If in reality, a person said this to you, it is estimated that few people believe that there are people in this world who are so idealistic.

In other words, people believe that there are such idealists in the world, but they don't believe that they will meet such a good person.

But the greatness of the Two-dimensional theme lies in the fact that the entire work is an idealized existence. In this kind of work, it is only natural that such idealized and romantic characters appear!

[I must survive and become a doctor.Pierdo]

Leorio knelt on the ground, begging his friend Piedo's hallucination to forgive himself, there is no way to die with him and leave this world.

【Leorio, you must succeed in becoming a great doctor. 】

At the end of this comic, there is the back view of Piedo's beautiful hair flying in the air.

At this moment, although he didn't show his face, it was obvious that in Leorio's eyes, he was no longer a dead bone.

Just when everyone in Long Kingdom thought that the seventh chapter of Hunter Full Time would start the struggle about the hunter assessment in detail, the plot of this work shifted to the dialogue between Leorio and Piedo in the hallucination.

In fact, the plot of this episode.
But it has become the most discussed chapter among readers since the serialization of Hunter x Hunter.

"I'm crying."

"Damn, I blamed Leorio wrongly. In Chapter [-], when he talked with Kurapika and Xiaojie, he said that the purpose of being a hunter is to make money. I laughed at him at the time, but now I feel that I am really a fool. .”

"Leorio is the realist! He knows that healing and saving people is not done by kindness. He needs money to be a doctor, and after becoming a doctor, he also needs money to help those children who can't see the disease for free, so he only needs to make a lot of money. make his dream come true."

"When I was a child, because I had no money, I couldn't save my friend Piedo. This is Leorio's demon!"

"The character was portrayed really well."

"I really didn't expect that one day I would be so fascinated by watching a fighting work that was serialized to the seventh chapter and the protagonist hadn't fought anyone else."

"I just watched and cried."

"The character creation skills of the old thief, I feel stronger! This manga has only been serialized for seven episodes, but seven or eight interesting characters have already appeared. On the contrary, Sword Art Online, the protagonist and heroine are well portrayed, but the supporting roles Just lose some color."

"Who said that supporting roles in Sword Art Online are not good? What about that old dog in Xu Township? The strongest villain in history that readers want to kill, still can't prove the old thief's ability to shape characters in Sword Art Online?"

"Xu Xiang's hate is based on the success of Asuna's portrayal, because there is a supporting character who wants to tarnish such a perfect Asuna, so you will feel disgusted by Xu Xiang. If what Xu Xiang wants to tarnish is First passerby, you can only say, "I like this pervert."

"Anyway, both works are good, but indeed, the plot of Leorio's episode made me cry directly. And the plot of this episode has to be connected with the sixth episode. Leorio said that his dream is to make money. There together Look. The contrast is strong."

"The main reason is that he has a strong sense of substitution! Leorio, I feel that he is just like us ordinary people who read comics, but we accept our ordinaryness and go with the flow. In the comics, he refuses to admit defeat and is still working hard. .”

"I feel that the supporting roles in this manga of Old Thieves are very interesting! It's the protagonist. Is it really okay to be the protagonist naturally? It was interesting to watch his plot at the beginning, but Xiaojie is not smart, except for getting along with animals. Apart from being better, optimists, there is no big advantage, if it continues like this, the light will be completely robbed by the supporting role. I think it would be better to replace the protagonist with Leorio."

"Don't panic. What's the rush? Don't look at the old thief with your mortal eyes. After all, the old thief's works have never played cards according to common sense. All of his works are of the type that has never appeared in the Dragon Kingdom before. This natural Although the silly male lead has never been written by Long Guo before, but looking down, maybe the old thief can create something new!"

The fans of Xiayan comics talked all night about the shaping of Leorio in Chapter [-]. On the next day, the latest voting data of Beizhou comics club was released.

The total number of votes for the seventh chapter of Hunter x Hunter officially exceeded the 300 million mark, which is basically the same as that of the Initial D serial at its peak.

This is the benefit of Xia Yan's fame.

In terms of how interesting the work is, it has only been serialized to the seventh chapter. A full-time hunter who has just started to see the world is definitely not as strong as the initial D.

But Xia Yan himself has a lot of fans. His new works, as long as the quality level is a little bit higher, the increase in popularity will naturally far exceed the works of other creators.

But for Xia Yan and other colleagues in the comics industry, this data is not very friendly.

Just serializing the seventh chapter and breaking through the 300 million vote mark, what the hell is this? .

Why can it be so fierce?

This voting data was achieved only by "Initial D", which was among the top ten works in the Longguo comics industry in terms of average volume sales in history.

It's not that you, Xia Yan, can't create a new manga that is as popular as Initial D, but are you kidding about the popularity of Chapter [-]?

Even if the fans voted mindlessly.

The initial d is a racing car comic. Wouldn't Xia Yan's new comic turn into a youthful blood comic without losing fans?
Not to mention that other colleagues in the industry can't understand this data, even many people in Beizhou Comic Club can't understand it.

Just like in the parallel world, if Oda finished One Piece and went to draw girl romance comics, how many of his fans would be able to keep up with him?

"But in the end, switching styles is only one factor, and the quality of the work depends on it! Readers will not pick the type of work. As long as your plot is interesting, in theory, anyone in the world will become a fan of this work. Just like The same as the initial D, I bet 50.00% of the manga readers don't know how to drive, and they were not fans of racing comics before the birth of the initial D." Xia Yan said with a smile.

"Although the plot of Hunter Full-time Hunter is a little slow in the early stage. But it also has advantages, that is, there is no persuading plot throughout the whole process. From the first episode to the present, there is no plot that disgusts readers. The villain's IQ is online, and the protagonist team is also decisive. The expansion of the main plot is a bit slower, but the plot still has some attractiveness.”

After Mo Ran stopped, she rolled her eyes and didn't bother to think about it.

Anyway, she is in charge of painting in the creation of this comic, let Xia Yan complete the plot by herself.

However, from the first chapter of the series to the present, Hunter Full-time has firmly occupied the first place in the manga periodicals. This week, the total number of votes has exceeded 300 million. Since the booklet has not yet been released, it is not clear what the situation is, but at least in "Bei Zhou" "In this journal, the fan popularity of Xia Yan and Mo Ran has returned to the peak moment of Initial D.

"You are really a monster!" Mo Ran looked at Xia Yan's face for half a minute, then said.

"monster?"

"Is this how you see me?" Xia Yan's face showed interest.

"No, I just spoke out for your colleagues. I can understand the despair in their hearts to a certain extent." Mo Ran leaned back on the chair and said seriously.

"It's not just me who is a monster. Because I'm with you. So we... are in the eyes of colleagues in the comics industry." Xia Yan laughed.

"It's a conjoined monster."

"We." Mo Ran thought for a while after hearing the words, and then smiled.

"I said. You said before the serialization of the Hunter x Hunter manga that you want this manga to become the highest-selling work in the history of Dragon Kingdom manga."

"Yeah." Xia Yan looked at Mo Ran.

"What? You believe it now?"

"I believe it." Mo Ran nodded.

"So, when do you think ... that day will come? Three years from now? Or longer."

"Of course it won't be so long. I think I'm only in the first semester of my third year now."

"Before I graduate from university, we will become the No. [-] in the history of Dragon Country comics." Xia Yan said after thinking for a while.

"Of course, for me personally, it is expected that within a year and a half before graduating from university...the animation field, the manga field, and the novel field will all reach the top."

Hearing this, Mo Ran's expression froze, and he looked at Xia Yan's face seriously.

"You're serious."

"Of course. I won't tell others what's on my mind. It's just you, Tang Yin, and Song Lingyun who are my three best friends." Xia Yan also responded seriously.

"Before graduating from university" Mo Ran's face burst into a smile, she couldn't help it, her shoulders trembled.

"why are you laughing?"

"I'm laughing." Mo Ran looked at Xia Yan.

"If you do this, you are a creator in the Two-dimensional industry, but all the protagonists in your novels don't feel as good as you in reality!"

"Think about it, the heroine of Youth Journey, one is a nerd and a cute nerd. The male lead who has never heard of a flower name, and one is an otaku. The protagonist who goes to the moon, there are only two doctors in the field of science and technology. The male lead of a parasitic beast will return to campus later. Life, be an ordinary person. The male protagonist of Sword Art Online is an Internet addicted boy who is addicted to games. The male protagonist with the initial D is just a little bully racing on the hills, and he has not achieved the first place in the island country." The more Mo Ran said, the more he wanted to laugh .

"You really ranked first in the three major fields of comics, animation and novels before graduating from university. In terms of achievements, you are better than all the protagonists in your novels!"

"This..." Xia Yan thought for a while, and he also felt a little funny, so he laughed out loud.

"A year and a half?" Mo Ran took a deep breath.

"Although I have been in your light all the way to the present, but if the achievement of being the first-selling manga in the history of Dragon Kingdom can really be achieved, then I can be regarded as going down in history with you."

"I've already told you, don't always be so negative. No matter how good I come up with, I still don't know how to draw manga, and I don't have the time to learn." Xia Yan thought for a while, raised his arms, and placed his fingers in the ink. Ran flicked lightly on the forehead.

Mo Ran froze for a moment, covering her forehead.

"Whether it's Initial D or Hunter x Hunter, these two works were created by our cooperation. There is no such thing as good or bad. The honor belongs to the two of us." Xia Yan said.

"We." Mo Ran heard Xia Yan use this word again.

"For us. So don't care about the messy reports on the Internet, the media, and the news. If I just found a cartoonist to cooperate with, I can have the current results now," Xia Yan said.

He also knew that after he and Mo Ran, a cartoonist, became famous together, Mo Ran's place was controversial in the Dragon Kingdom.

There is nothing to say about her comic drawing skills. After growing up through the serialization of the initial D, she must be at the top level in the comics industry of Longguo now.

But nowadays, the entire Internet public opinion is basically slandering her for hugging her thigh and having an unclear relationship with her to obtain a cooperative relationship.

People on the internet are so boring.

Xia Yan knew it all along, but it was not easy to speak out to persuade him for fear of causing misunderstandings. This time, he took the opportunity of joking and introduced this topic.

"There is no beginning, and there is no if. Now, it is the fact. You and I, the two of us have come together in the comics world."

Mo Ran's eyes turned red when she heard this, but she quickly held back, took a deep breath, and quickly snapped back a finger on Xia Yan's forehead.

Xia Yan's forehead hurt, and he looked at Mo Ran.

"Don't forget, I'm your senior. You've only known me for a few years, so you're disrespecting me like this? Did you treat me like this just now, thinking I'd be diverted from Dafa by your topic? How about it, it hurts Right." Mo Ran said with a smile.

Xia Yan was definitely not convinced when he heard the words, he and Mo Ran chased and fought like children in the office area for a while, and then stopped.

The two people's once-a-week comic storyboard exchange time soon came to an end.

The first ten days of December end and the last ten days come.
