A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 292 Popularity
At the end of January, the major cities in Longguo were basically in the cold.

But no matter how cold the weather is, it can't dampen the enthusiasm of these Two-dimensional fans.

As usual, there were long queues at the gates of the major bookstores early in the morning.

Although the supply of Beizhou periodicals is sufficient, there are few small-scale out-of-stocks, and it is impossible for large-scale periodicals to be out-of-stock.

But the reason why these people line up so early is not because they are afraid of being out of stock, but because
I want to see the plot of my favorite work as soon as possible, and prevent myself from being spoiled by friends when I watch it late.

These Two-dimensional people turn on their mobile phones and join various Two-dimensional novels, animation and comic groups. Sixty to seventy percent of the topics are related to Xia Yan's works. If you buy it late, you will either have no conversation with the people in the group, or you will be spoiled by all kinds of spoilers when you enter the group.

Why is Xia Yan so popular in the Dragon Kingdom Two-dimensional group?

His works are no longer simply good-looking. At least in the Two-dimensional circle, his works have become so popular that they have a strong social attribute.

In winter, Lin Li stood in line at the bookstore, shivering from the cold.

Soon, the door of the bookstore opened, and swarms of fans rushed forward. Five minutes later, Lin Li grabbed her favorite "Beizhou" periodical.

In the last issue of the year ago, the Beizhou Journal filled the full-time hunter's lineup, and the entire cover of the journal only placed one work of the full-time hunter.

Moreover, the entire magazine cover poster is not the main character. The magazine cover of this issue shows that Kurapika's face is a little scary, and his eyes are red.
Handsome, but one can feel the suppressed murderous intent in Kurapika's eyes in the picture.

"Senior Mo Ran, she is really good at painting." Lin Li sighed.

She is a senior high school student. When she was in the second year of junior high school a few years ago, she was in the same school as Mo Ran, who was in the third year of high school at that time. As an art student, the two had the same art teacher in the school.

There is a real relationship between senior and senior sisters, but after a few years, Mo Ran has become a respected cartoonist in the comics circle of Longguo. Her teacher is extremely proud, and everyone praises Mo Ran as his student.

And she is still having a headache whether she can pass the cultural class of the college entrance examination.

But who cares?

While trembling, Lin Li walked briskly, carrying the periodicals to the house.

Back at the house, while warming the stove, she opened this issue of Beizhou Journal.

Open the first page, there is a mezzanine card, the front of the card is "Xia Yan & Mo Ran", as the most popular cartoonist combination of "Beizhou" magazine, sent to Long's nearly 2000 million fans of "Beizhou" magazine Happy new year.

On the front is a New Year greeting message of more than [-] characters.On the back, there is a set of gorgeous photo pictures taken back to back by Xia Yan and Mo Ran in handsome and beautiful New Year's dresses.

Lin Li carefully looked at the photo taken by Mo Ran and Xia Yan.

Inexplicably, I envied the two of them.

Pressing down these emotions, Lin Li turned the comic journal to the first page of the catalogue.

The content of this episode follows the story of last week's battle between the Tower of Trials and the mortals in the tower.

In the first match, Xiaojie and the prisoner both burn candles slower than anyone else, and Xiaojie wins by blowing out the other party's candle.

The second round was Kurapika, against a muscular man with a strong physique.

Is it finally time for the battle scene?

Lin Li suddenly felt anticipation in her heart.

After all, no matter when Xia Yan was interviewed or when this comic was serialized, the type of this work indicated in the journal is a "fighting blood" work.

But this work has been serialized for three months, with more than a dozen episodes, and there has not been a decent battle so far.

Although the plot is becoming more and more attractive, but this comic without battle scenes is inevitably suspected of selling dog meat with sheep's tricks.

Sure enough, the plot quickly clarified that this battle between Kurapika and the muscular man was a duel of life and death.

And when the muscular man tore off the cloak mask on his head.

Lin Li's expression stiffened
This.
This nima is too ugly, right?

His facial features are crooked, only a few teeth are left, his eyes are wretched, and he has a lewd smile on his face.

It's hard to believe that the beautiful senior sister Mo Ran could draw such an ugly muscular villain.

[I have killed nineteen people so far, but I think the number nineteen is not good, and I am very excited now.Finally, No.20 people came to die. 】The wretched muscular man grinned.

Lin Li was speechless when she saw this.

This villain is so realistic.

How dare you brag about killing nineteen people?

[Once the duel begins, don't expect me to stop attacking you if you admit defeat. ] said the muscular man.

[I understand, it's settled like this. ] Kurapika said calmly.

【.】Muscle man.

Soon the plot began to explain that this muscular man is purely a paper tiger.

It looks like a burly figure is actually scary, his face is so exaggerated, it's just because the plastic surgery failed, let's not talk about his combat power, at least he is very timid.

Deliberately looking fierce, he just hoped that Kurapika would retreat in spite of the difficulties, and then take the initiative to admit defeat.

Seeing that Kurapika couldn't be fooled, he could only use his special move, relying on the mechanical devices in his shoulders and abdomen, and smashed the ground with a punch, smashing the floor through.

Then, the twelve-legged spider tattoo on his back was deliberately exposed.

Xiaojie and others who were watching the battle immediately explained the origin of the spider pattern.

The world's notorious murder group, the logo of the members of the Phantom Brigade.

And the Phantom Brigade is also an organization that slaughtered the Kurapika people in order to get the unique fiery eyes of the Kurapika people.

Seeing this, Lin Li regained her spirits.

Is this an extension of the mainline content?

However, the member of the Phantom Troupe who was portrayed so horribly in the previous plot is such a weak chicken who can only bluff people?

【How about it?Too scared to speak?I am one of the four heavenly kings of the Phantom Brigade, the King of Destruction, and the scumbag!If you want to admit defeat here, I can give you a chance to admit defeat] The muscular man laughed arrogantly.

Lin Li's expression darkened.
This earthy nickname and name.

Originally, the villain's character was low, and with this name and nickname, it was low and low.

Lin Li turned the page again, and as soon as the next page of comics came into view, Lin Li's expression froze and she became serious.

Because she could clearly feel that the details of the drawing on this page of comics had been greatly improved.

Cartoonists also know how to choose and choose. The climax of the plot will keep improving the drawing. If it is an ordinary character dialogue, the drawing should be simplified to reduce the workload.

Otherwise, drawing dozens of pages of comics a week, even if Mo Ran is a painting tentacle monster, it is impossible to draw every picture perfectly.

And once the painting gets better.
Lin Li continued to read.

[Did he froze from fright? 】

Dongba gloated at Kurapika's battle against the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the Phantom Brigade.

Leorio looked at his teammates on the stage worriedly.

【Kurapika, got angry. 】 Xiaojie said.

Only Kurapika, the manga gave him a positive face at this moment.

The expression is chilling, and the pupils of the eyes change color.

But in itself, Kurapika's painting style is extremely exquisite. As soon as the scene of his eyes changing color appears, the whole person reveals an evil style in the manga.

It’s okay for male comic fans, but for female comic fans like Lin Li.
Just like the female fans of hunters in the parallel world.

In this episode, Kurapika's manga picture has made many female manga fans fall in love with him from here.

The whole person seems to have lost his mind, expressionless, but all the manga viewers can feel the anger in Kurapika's eyes.

Step by step towards the so-called Four Heavenly Kings of the Phantom Brigade.

The muscular man quickly panicked, trying to make Kurapika stop.

But the next comic storyboard.
He was knocked to the ground by the leaping Kurapika, and his jaw smashed the slate.

Kurapika, standing next to the muscular man, lowered his head.

Lin Li could still feel the anger on her body from the screen.

【I will give you three pieces of advice. 】

[The member mark of the first real phantom brigade should have the number of the member stabbed in the middle of the spider pattern. 】

[Second. They kill too many people, and they don't bother to count how many people they kill. 】

[Third. In this life, don't say the words Phantom Troupe.Otherwise, I will never let you go in my life. 】

Kurapika in the manga, expressionless but angry and lonely
It feels weird.

It's obviously just a black and white cartoon, but Lin Li experienced such emotions from the plot and pictures.

Looking at Kurapika's beautiful face in the picture, the girl's heart softened inexplicably at this moment.

In the comics of Hunter, there are quite a lot of annoying characters.

Hisoka, who looks like a human demon at first glance, is sissy and disgusting.

The Dongba god is also selfish and harmful, and disgusting.

The protagonist Xiaojie can only say that he is okay, but he is not particularly pleasing to him.

Leorio has a bright moment in the first few episodes, so Lin Li actually has a good impression of this character.

But today.
She's completely obsessed with the role of Kurapika.

This plot originally gave Kurapika a tragic beauty.

In addition, Mo Ran's paintings deliberately deepen this emotion.

A girl like Lin Li with delicate emotions can naturally feel empathy from it.

In the subsequent plot, after defeating the muscular man pretending to be the Phantom Troupe, Kurapika also returned to the preparation area and left him alone.

It's just that the plot is a competition between two people, a duel of life and death.

The muscular man just fainted, not dead, so there was no winner in this battle.

Since there is no winner, the battle will not end.

But the time for Xiaojie and the others to clear the tower of trials is limited, and they had already wasted a lot of time before, and now the competition between Kurapika and the muscular man is delaying time here.

So Leorio directly proposed to let Kurapika go and kill that muscular man.

Anyway, he is also a death row criminal who committed murder, and he will kill if he kills.

But Kurapika clearly refused.

[To kill a fainted person, I will not do such a thing. 】

Kurapika said calmly.

[I guess you haven't killed anyone, have you?Will you be afraid? ] At this time, Qi Ya, who has no sense of existence in the manga in this episode, walked up to Kurapika and said.

Lin Li continued to turn backwards, but...
But I only saw the last three words of this story.

My heart suddenly seemed to be grabbed by something.

It's been almost half a year since I felt this feeling.

Half a year ago, when Xia Yan was serializing Initial D, she felt this way at the end of almost every comic.

I thought that the manga of Hunter x Hunter took a relaxed route, and the sense of fragmentation in the plot should not be too strong.

However.
Damn, what the hell are you doing, old thief?

I know how fast Senior Sister Mo Ran draws, and the bottleneck in the creation speed of this comic is definitely not Senior Sister Mo Ran.

Old thief Xia, you are, 360 days a year, you are trying your best to break the chapter.

Now it’s the last episode of the manga before the Chinese New Year. You won’t think of a way to stop at the non-climax plot, so you have to stop here?
Is there something wrong?

Lin Li repeatedly turned the plot forward a few pages and beat Kurapika to the muscular man pretending to be the Phantom Troupe, and then finished the handsome and beautiful plot with a cold expression and said the three points of advice.

It's hard.
In fact, there are a terrifying number of comic fans in Longguo who have the same idea as Lin Li.

Early in the morning, the Xia Yan fan groups and the Two-dimensional forums had already quarreled.

Male manga fans tend to cry because of the previous plot where Leorio and his childhood friend Piedo were separated from life and death due to the cruel blow of life and reality.

But female manga fans are easily attracted to characters like Kurapika.

This can actually be seen in the parallel world of Togashi Yoshihiro's previous manga, Yuyu Hakusho.

In fact, the human design of the four early characters in Yoshihiro Tomihiro's full-time hunter, if you read Yuyu Hakusho's work, you will be surprised to find that the four main characters in the two works have an unusual sense of similarity. .

Leorio corresponds to Kuwahara, Kurapika corresponds to Kurama, Kiya corresponds to Hiei, and Gon corresponds to Yusuke.

It can't be said that the characters are completely similar, but it can only be said that there is still a sense of similarity of 5.00% or more.

And itself, in Yuyu Hakusho's work, the role of Kurama is extremely popular among women.

This point is exactly the same in Hunter, Kurapika is also a very popular female character in this work in the parallel world.

"Sisters, is there any handsome Kurapika who talked about this!"

"I kind of want to cry! This painting, Kurapika's feeling of loneliness. I love it."

"As a man, I also had tears in my eyes. I feel that the character portrayal of the old thief is really good! It's just a simple plot, but I can figure out a lot of character psychology from the plot and the picture."

"This is the manga!"

"Kurapika is really handsome. This work is by far the most handsome character. And the strength feels quite strong."

"I suddenly found this manga very attractive to me. At first, I thought it was the work of an old thief. If I didn't read it, I would have no common topics with my friends. But now, in all fairness, even if there is no old thief, and there is no such thing as having a common topic with friends. Factors, I should continue to follow this cartoon, it is really good!"

"Me too. In fact, when I first read the manga of Hunter, I felt that this kind of manga with no superpowers, no handsome fighting, and the funny protagonist relying on little wisdom throughout the whole process, should not be able to attract me for a long time. It would be boring to read seven or eight episodes at most. I stopped watching it. But I really didn’t expect that I’ve been following it until now, and every week I watch it more and more vigorously.”

"That's how I felt at the beginning that this manga was nothing good, but after reading a few episodes, I couldn't stop at all and thankfully I wasn't scared away by the name of this work."

"It's the place where the old thief's update still breaks the chapter, it's disgusting!"

"Come on, good-looking works will give you a sense of fragmentation, and bad-looking works you just want it to end quickly. Be content."

The last issue of Beizhou comics before the Chinese New Year, also because Kurapika has gained a lot of female fans this week, has become the issue with the highest number of readers' votes since the serialization of this comic.

A staggering 330 million votes were reached.

Moreover, the score of the work rose from 9.5 to 9.6 overnight.

This is the three-month serial data of Hunter Full-time.

At this point in the serialization, the popularity of the work has initially stabilized, and the number of serialized comics has also increased. In fact, Beizhou Comic Club, when the company's senior management held a video conference during the Chinese New Year, they had already made a decision to discuss with Xia Yan. After the communication here, it was also decided that after the Chinese New Year holidays, we will start printing, publishing and selling the first volume of the manga booklet of Hunter x Hunter.
