Gotta Go the Healing Route

Wu Shanyun hesitated for a moment.

"It should be, I think this character named Togata is quite interesting."

"That's right..."

Aki Guino said with a sigh.

"At the beginning, the reader's reaction was why the plot became like this. But with the appearance of Li Hetian, after the main perspective was placed on this new character, this kind of doubt was left behind."

"Because the character Togata is very interesting, very distinctive, and enough to attract people's attention."

"Generally speaking, the characters serve the story, and the reader's sense of reading comes from the story itself."

"However, if the image of the character is too prominent, and the attention is paid more to the character than to the story, the fragmentation of the story will be weakened a lot."

"Miss, think about it, is there any manga reader who values ​​the characters more than the story?"

Wu Shanyun glanced at Guiye Yashu, and said lightly:

"book."

"Ahem..." Hearing this answer, Guiye Yashu couldn't help being choked up, and coughed loudly.

"I'm just kidding..."

Seeing the appearance of Guiye Yashu, Wu Shanyun also raised the corners of his mouth.

"However, speaking of it, Takano-kun is really amazing..."

"What you said is very reasonable, and you have followed Kazama-kun's train of thought."

"Maybe it's because I'm very talented in this area." Aki Guiye said shyly, rubbing the back of his head.

Chapter 210 IX To Die

In short, the nervous turning point of these two sentences can be said to make most readers puzzled.

You must know that Kazama Xi has always been known for its logical and meticulous, interlocking and exquisite plot design. This kind of unprepared plot seems to be inserted abruptly based on the author's personal will, which is really unacceptable.

Many readers even called the editorial department to ask what was going on.

The Internet forums were also uneasy, and those diehard fans of Yubiechao, and netizens who took pleasure in analyzing the plot also collectively silenced.

Analysis... This can analyze something.

There are also conspiracy theories to speculate whether Yubiechao is under too much pressure to open two comics at the same time, which caused one of the works to become like this.

In short, the original serialization status of An Sheng in the manga "Fist of Flame" suddenly became strange in the eyes of outsiders, and everyone was guessing Yu Biechao's idea of ​​drawing this time.

Our party's Kazama Xi was very calm.After talking to Aster Uemura like that last time, the poor Miss Uemura once again played the role of public relations in the early stage of the magic circle serialization at the youth jump editorial department, helping Kazama Xi to withstand the pressure there.

As for Akira Kitaoka, the editor-in-chief did indeed call to inquire, but Xi Kazama prevaricated back with the reason of 'necessary for the plot'.Regarding this willful reason, Kitaoka Akira didn't say anything.

Fortunately, as Guino Aki analyzed to Wu Shanyun in private: due to the new character, Togata's fresh and interesting character design, strong sense of presence, even if the plot is biased, with the From the perspective of Li Hetian, the self-proclaimed "director" is slowly being accommodated in readers' minds.

In all honesty, a character as crazy and irrelevant as Togata is really rare among many comic characters.

You must know that in the current Kanna Kingdom, while the story mode is biased towards routines, even the characters have tended to be the same template.

For example, the typical portrayal of beautiful women: confused, inflexible, stupid, fragile.A typical representative of silly white sweet.The male protagonist is: a stack of many positive elements such as persistence, bravery, and gentleness.

This kind of character setting is also inseparable from the current comic story mode.A complex character design like Togata with multiple labels must match a multi-layered story.However, due to the limitations of the times, it is difficult for senior authors in the current industry to have such a big and wide brain hole as the authors of later generations, and to do all kinds of tricks.

In short, when complex characters like Togata appear, readers are attracted to the eyeballs.As for the abruptness of the appearance of characters, it is constantly being worn away in the accumulation of characters.

Moreover, in the following, the plot was also brought back on track.

From the beginning of "Flame Fist" to the present, what is shown in front of readers is a traditional revenge drama.Revenge is the main theme of "Flame Fist" now.

Although because of the appearance of Li Hetian, the plot of pulling the protagonist Agni into filming is a bit off-line, but the main line of revenge has finally been pulled back again.

Li Hetian was very excited by Agni's experience and revenge purpose, and she decided to help Agni avenge her.For Li Hetian, this is simply the best movie subject.

Togata is strong, and she has lived for hundreds of years as a reborn well-wisher.Witnessed the decline of the old human civilization, mastered knowledge unknown to humans in this era, proficient in various fighting gun skills, and his combat effectiveness can be called abnormal.

Although Agni has the blessing of immortal flames, after all, he was beheaded by Yoda before, facing the power of the entire Bay City, he is still powerless to take revenge.

With Togata's help, he must be able to obtain the power of real revenge.

Seeing this, readers are relieved.

Although Li Hetian's appearance is indeed a little nervous, but at present it seems that he should belong to the kind of grandfather-like role that provides experience and equipment for the protagonist.

Misunderstanding resolved.

Li Hetian is willing to help Agni, but he also has his own conditions. Agni wants to be his actor and assist him in completing his first step in the film Flame Man.

In this way, Lihetian taught Agni various combat skills while developing an exclusive combat suit for Agni.

While teaching him acting skills, he also taught him English.Although they are all dirty jokes and dirty words.

Finally, the time for revenge has come.

Agni put on a battle suit made of special materials that could withstand high temperatures, so he didn't look like a naked man at all.It is in line with the law of changing the image of the protagonist before entering the main line.

However, Togata is Togata after all.

This kind of crazy person is set up here, how could Li Hetian be the kind of ordinary grandfather who concentrates on helping the protagonist?

In order to make the movie more exciting, Toshida colluded with Yoda from the beginning.

Waiting for Agni in Bay City now is the well-wisher with superior strength after being strengthened by Li Hetian with the technology left over from civilization.

But Agni didn't know about it. He believed in the director's ability, and he believed that he would be able to kill his enemy Dema this time.

At this point, the seemingly routine revenge drama is finally coming to an end.

Agni finally defeated the powerful enemy and succeeded in revenge.

Readers think this way, and if any author were to write this story, he would probably write it in the same way.

However, the flow of the story has changed here.

Because of a smile.

Is the story of "Fist of Flame" really just a traditional end-time revenge story?

For a long time, "Flame Fist" has been greatly appreciated for its excellent graphics, smooth storyboarding like a movie, and strong sense of atmosphere rendering.

However, apart from the background of the apocalypse, in terms of the story, "Flame Fist" caused relatively little repercussions.Different from the wonderful wit-fighting stories of dead pens and the shocking reversal of the magic circle, readers' hearts are always affected by the atmosphere of the story.Except for the plot of Toshida's appearance, which caused some discussions, readers didn't respond much to this revenge story.

Because revenge is revenge.Kill the enemy, in the eyes of the reader, this is what this kind of story is like.

But, because of a smile, the seemingly revenge story is stripped of its disguise.

Running through the secret passage leading to Bay City, Agni smiled.He laughed not because he could get revenge, but because...he could finally die.

Yes, the pain of the flames burning in the flesh, the sorrow and hatred in the heart.

What a terrifying ordeal for one person to bear everything.

However, all these pains will disappear with death.

I will see my parents and sister soon...

Thinking of this, Agni smiled for the first time.

He seemed to see the figures of his parents and his younger sister Luna waving at the end of the front.

The end of this road is death, and the man with half of his face burning with flames is rushing forward with a smile on his face.

The thread of the story isn't revenge at all, it's a story about dying.

Chapter 220

All the stories are run through by a distinct main line.

This main line is often the protagonist's dream and the goal he wants to achieve.Generally speaking, the beginning of the story is that the protagonist, for some reason, was born with this dream and goal.The end of the story is when the protagonist has fulfilled this dream and goal.

So, what is the main line of "Flame Fist"?Or, what is Agni's dream?What do you want to achieve?

revenge.

Many readers will think so, because on the surface, Agni's behavioral logic is derived from this.

However, when the plot progresses here, the core purpose of the protagonist has quietly reversed:

Agni wanted to die.

The reversal of this sentence once again surprised readers and fans, and Yi Dazhi was just one of them.

Yi Dazhi just fell in love with the cartoonist Yu Biechao because he liked more profound stories.

Seeing the picture of Agni showing a happy smile and rushing towards death, Yi Dazhi started to tremble all over after a brief daze.

He suddenly understood what was going on in an instant.

All have been lied to.

Yubiechao is Yubiechao after all, how could an ordinary story of revenge satisfy this cartoonist who is somewhat paranoid in story creation?

It is true that revenge belongs to the classic core of tragedy, but for Yu Biechao, who is good at all kinds of tragic creations, revenge is not worthy of his title of old thief.

The simple fraud makes all readers think that this is just a tragedy of revenge.But this is not the case.

The real main line of the story is not revenge at all.

If the main line is the goal and dream of the protagonist.Agni's true dream is revealed in the first episode: he just wants his sister Luna to be happy.

Unlike other similar end-of-the-world works, or most comics, Agni's dream has been destroyed as early as the beginning.

Human beings exist because they have goals, which only meet the goals of physical survival, or the high-level spiritual needs of realizing dreams.

When these reasons for existence are gone, you sink into nothingness.And at the end of nothingness is death.

It's not out of the ordinary...

The false main line of revenge successfully diverted the readers' attention. No one knew or cared about the burning pain that Agni experienced day and night under the flames

And deeper than this pain is the loneliness of being alone.

The physical pain is painful enough, but what is more tormenting is to suffer alone when it hurts.

To live is a long torture for Agni. Bearing this torture, there is no meaning of existence, so why not choose to die?
