Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 458 Demon Slayer Creator and Public Opinion Environment
However, among the works that Lin Qingshan had read in his previous life, the irreversible tragic ending of "Edge Walker" is actually unique.

Other works, such as the often-joked leader "Iron-Blooded Orphans", also have the same ending.

But the deaths of the protagonists were too sudden and inexplicable.

It's nothing like "Edgewalker", which is both heartbreaking and quite reasonable.

Even "Akame ga Kill!" is not as good as "Edgewalker" in this regard. The death of each character in the protagonist group seems to be forcibly arranged, which is slightly inferior.

This depends on the ability of the creator himself.

However, it can be said that even Urobuchi, the author of "Fate Zero", did not dare to arrange such a tragic ending casually, because it really tests one's creative skills.

So naturally, “Fate Zero” won’t have a tragic ending…right?

In fact, the ending can only be regarded as not the worst ending, that is, Kiritsugu and Saber seemed to have won, but in fact they did not win and lost miserably.

Especially Kiritsugu, after realizing that his ideal of world peace was completely impossible to achieve, he also lost Airi and his own daughter.

The only thing he did do was to rescue Shirou during the fire in Fuyuki City caused by the destruction of the Holy Grail, thus gaining some self-redemption.

Saber was forced to destroy the Holy Grail and could only return to the sword fence and continue to wait for the call for the next Holy Grail War, hoping to end this endless cycle of pain.

The other Masters and Heroic Spirits all lost the Holy Grail War, and the worst was the death like Kenneth, Tokiomi, and Kariya.

And Waver was the only lucky man in the entire Holy Grail War.

But when it comes to the "joy" group, although they did not win outright, they obviously won.

Kotomine Kirei got what he wanted, and Gilgamesh was incarnated in the mud of the Holy Grail and remained in the world.

It can be said that not many people expected the ending of "Fate Zero" to be like this.

The six-month series "Fate Zero" is about to come to the end of its finale, which has brought huge heat and popularity to Station C.

This also means that the development of Station C is unstoppable.

Even Youdou.com, once the earliest online video platform, could not stop the popularity of Station C.

During this period, Gu Qianli has actually been preparing for next year's new strategy. If it is successful, he will have to complete the last step of work on Station C.

That is... going public!
So she was extremely busy during this period.

Lin Qingshan was also made a little busy. In addition to serializing "Daoguiyixian", he was also responsible for the animation projects that he was optimistic about under C Station's new strategy.

After all, ACG is the foundation of Station C.

ACG is more popular at this time, and the development of Station C will be smoother in the future.

But he has gotten used to it, especially when he is in charge of the animation project. He thinks it is a very happy thing to bring over his favorite animation works from his previous life so that more audiences can see them and more people can like them.

Isn’t this a different kind of missionary work?
While he was busy, he also got some happy news.

……

"Hey Hey hey!"

Lin Qingshan picked up the phone and greeted first.

He knew who was calling.

Then, as expected, Wu Shiqing's voice that could not hide her joy came from the phone, "Teacher!!! My manuscript was accepted!!! My manga "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" was accepted!!!"

“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has been approved!”

Lin Qingshan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with equal joy, "Congratulations! Shiqing! Congratulations on finally becoming a professional cartoonist!"

After Wu Shiqing and Chen Chunqiang resigned, they worked hard to organize the settings in the past six months and then started drawing drafts.

But they didn't come to ask Lin Qingshan for advice like Akutami Yuta did.

After all, they knew that Lin Qingshan and Gu Qianli were very busy during this period, and they were still a little embarrassed to trouble others.

Especially Lin Qingshan, the teacher who guided them on the path of becoming cartoonists and whom they sincerely respected.

So Lin Qingshan really had no idea how their creations were going during this period.

Even the submission review was done by them themselves by asking Ayumi Ito to do it.

It can be said that Wu Shiqing and Chen Chunqiang's creations were entirely completed by themselves, and Lin Qingshan did not use his experience and memories from his previous life to interfere.

So... Lin Qingshan was a little curious. What would "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" become without his involvement, and with Wu Shiqing's painting and creative skills having been refined and improved a lot under his guidance?

In fact, the drawing skills of the original manga of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" by Mr. Crocodile in his previous life were quite poor.

The fact that "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" became so popular later on can be said to have been saved by the animation production team.

However, this kind of life-saving by the animation production team is different from the resurrection of "Chainsaw Man" in this parallel world.

The original plot of "Demon Slayer" is not bad, but the drawing skills are poor.

In fact, the drawing skills of comics themselves are just the icing on the cake. The plot and setting themselves are the most important things in comics creation.

In his previous life, Lin Qingshan even had many comic works that were drawn by elementary school students but became popular because of their brilliant plots and settings.

That’s right, I’m talking about Mr. One, the original author of “One Punch Man”. His drawing skills are really at the level of an elementary school student.

(ONE's original drawing of "One Punch Man")

Compared to Mr. One, Mr. Crocodile's drawing skills are truly at the level of a professional cartoonist.

Of course, Wu Shiqing's painting skills have improved significantly after Lin Qingshan's careful teaching.

So Lin Qingshan is now impatient to see this parallel world version of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba".

At this time, Wu Shiqing continued, "Teacher!! Not only me, but also Chunqiang's "Re: The Creator" has been approved!"

"Congratulations! This is such a happy thing!"

Lin Qingshan said with a grin, "Why don't we find a time to celebrate? The teacher invites you to the party!"

But suddenly he remembered something, groaned again, and said, "Ah... But Qianli and I are very busy recently, and I have to draw the manuscript of "The Tao of Strange Immortals" on the weekend, so I may not be able to do it this week..."

"It's okay, it's okay. The teacher has helped us a lot."

Wu Shiqing said quickly at this time, "Then let's invite a teacher after a while."

"No need! You still have a long way to go!"

Lin Qingshan said, "Next weekend, I will finish the work on hand in advance, and then Qianli will come back to rest at night, and we will get together again! It's settled!"

He can finish the manuscript of "Dao Wei Yi Xian" faster, after all, he has the system's ability to support him, and he is still a plagiarist and does not need to think about the plot and settings. In fact, his current speed of drawing fully supports him to open three manuscripts, and he can also take into account the situation of the new anime on C Station.

In fact, as long as his ideas are clear, there were cartoonists in his previous life who could serialize two comics at the same time, such as Kenjiro Hata, the cartoonist who drew "Hayate the Combat Butler".

Of course, if it is a dual opening in this world, it will not be easy.

Because the comics industry in this parallel world is so inward-looking that it has to complete the coloring work, it is a color comic instead of a black and white comic.

This greatly increases the workload, so basically all famous cartoonists in the world will hire a cartoon assistant.

However, this is not a problem for Lin Qingshan. With the system, he feels that it is completely possible for him to complete the drawing, coloring, and bubble sticking tasks all by himself!
"Okay... okay."

Wu Shiqing nodded embarrassedly.

……

Compared to Akutami Yuta, Wu Shiqing and Chen Chunqiang actually started a little later.

After all, Yuta Akutami's "Jujutsu Kaisen" has now secured the position of Rookie King in the comics world, and has also won some other rookie awards.

It has even been decided that the film will be adapted into an animation next year.

I believe that after the animation is broadcast, the popularity of "Jujutsu Kaisen" will become as outrageous as Lin Qingshan's previous life.

But in contrast, the popularity of "Protoss" is declining.

The IP potential of "Protoss" is very high, and it is not a solution to continue like this.

Neither the comics industry nor Yang Shuzhun wants the IP of this work to fall.

In this situation, the comics industry and Yang Shuzhun responded.

That is, they actually launched a remastered version of the "Protoss" Odin's Deep chapter.

However... it made comic fans feel even more annoyed, because the single volume of the "Protoss" Odin's Deep chapter still did not make the necessary changes.

The overall story framework and main characters of the "Protoss" Odin's Deep chapter single volume have not changed much, except that the setting has been added with the seven mysterious kingdoms of alchemy and the higher-level words of the imps using the commandments.

But in terms of the emotional line, the plot between Yang Mingfei and senior sister Chen Nuonuo is even richer!

Even the protagonist finally confessed his love to Chen Nuonuo and it was no longer just a secret crush.

In addition, there are some adjustments to the plot, such as the addition of new plots such as cloning the first generation of species.

But this still makes comic fans sick. What they want to see is not the protagonist seducing the sister-in-law. This plot change makes people even more disgusted.

Just like that, in the latest episode of "God Clan" that was re-serialized, the popularity dropped directly to twelfth place...

As you can imagine, this is enough to make it necessary to cut the show short. If it weren’t for the fact that Protoss had such great performance in the past, in fact, the editors in the comics industry should have asked Yang Shuzhun to cut the show short.

Yang Shuzhun is also very upset now. Even his Weibo, C Station and other accounts where he always liked to interact with fans have cleared all the updates.

He was completely confused.

Looking at the discussion area on the comic forum related to "Protoss", it is full of disgusting comments from comic fans.

"I really would rather Protoss just be cut short. What's the point of disgusting people here?"

"That's right. I don't even want to complain about the latest plot. Crow died so hastily. Is this a plot drawn by the same cartoonist?"

"As a comic fan who has read Protoss since the beginning, I am really disappointed with Itchy Mouse. Really, I wish Protoss should have stopped at the Odin's Deep chapter."

"I can only say that if Yanyang Mouse had the good fortune to be killed in the Black Moon Tide chapter of "Protoss", what a wonderful thing that would be!"

“When the Odin’s Deep chapter of Protoss was being serialized, Yanyangshu died unexpectedly. Everyone felt very sorry at that time and felt that the comics industry had lost another outstanding cartoonist.

If it disappeared after the Tides of the Black Moon chapter, everyone would feel that the comics industry had lost a talented cartoonist.

But if it were now, and the Itchy Mouse suddenly disappeared, I would just say... Good grief, open the champagne!"

"This is crazy. I seriously doubt that the first and second parts of "The Gods" were drawn by the same cartoonist. How can the plot be so amazing in the first part and so boring in the second part?"

"It seems that when the Return of the Mourner chapter of "The Divine Race" was serialized, the assistant of the old thief Itchy Rat, Tang San Shao, resigned. Could this be the reason?"

"Can an assistant influence the creation of a comic? It's unlikely. In fact, starting from the Odin's Deep chapter, something was not right with Protoss."

"It feels like it drifted away later on. It is said that after the success of the Tide of the Black Moon chapter, Itchy Mouse and his comics editor had a big disagreement, and in the end, Itchy Mouse created the fourth and fifth stories on his own."

"I can only say that you really can't get carried away. Cartoonists who get carried away are prone to getting into trouble."

"I don't see Aoyama Laozei getting too cocky. How come his comics are still as good as ever? Even though his Parasyte isn't very popular, it's still a masterpiece."

"I think... a hundred itch rats are no match for the old thief Qingshan."

"Let's cut off 'Protoss'. I really don't want to watch it anymore. I don't think it's worth it."

"Yes, it feels like the data is about to be cut in half."

"No, I still want to watch it. After all, I have been following it for so long."

"The data will probably be cut in half if it continues like this, but... let's open the champagne!"

……

Look at these posts and comment.

"Do I really have to cut off my work like this?"

Yang Shuzhun clenched the paintbrush in his hand with difficulty accepting it and said.

Is he really not as good as Lin Qingshan?
But before that, everyone thought he was far better than Lin Qingshan.

Because "The Gods" is a super long fantasy comic, and several of Lin Qingshan's original comics were only novellas and feature-length comics.

So at that time everyone thought that Lin Qingshan was not as good as Yang Shuzhun in grasping the plot of super long comics.

After all, the comics industry is more optimistic about super-long comics, which are regarded as the standard for being a super popular cartoonist.

Therefore, Yang Shuzhun was highly regarded at that time and was even called "the strongest cartoonist of the new generation."

The former high spirits and the current desolation made it even more difficult for Yang Shuzhun to accept.

He is now even more jealous of Lin Qingshan's talent. Why is it that that seemingly unreliable guy will always be better than him?

"I... still have a chance. Once the later settings are released, the popular character Xia Mi will be resurrected. Maybe it will help to retain the popularity of the Chu Xia Party and bring it back to life."

Yang Shuzhun just held the paintbrush tightly and continued to draw the draft.
