A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

Originally, the character Leorio appeared as a money-grubbing uncle. His dream of becoming a hunter and then a bounty hunter, a treasure hunter, also solidified the reader's impression of him.

But in his memory of this sentence.

The story of him and his childhood friend Piedo is the first time that Hunter's work directly touches the hearts of the audience.

There is actually a big gap between the local fighting comic works of the Dragon Kingdom and the long-blooded fighting works of the island country in Xia Yan's parallel world.

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

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

And the portrayal of the characters will not be so delicate.

But for a long-running passionate comic about an island country in a parallel world, not to mention the protagonist has a lot of memories, even the supporting characters also have a lot of memories.

So at the beginning, many viewers felt like scolding the plot content of the seventh episode of Hunter Hunter when they saw that it was all about Leorio’s memories.

Even if the main plot is pushed so slowly, the protagonist doesn’t even have memories of his childhood. The plot is just a supporting character’s reminiscence?

Stop being stupid and hurry up and push the main storyline of the hunter assessment!

But in fact, many comics viewers had red eyes after reading this chapter.

Memory killing is indeed a double-edged sword. If the plot is not set well, the audience will be impatient and want to give up every minute.

But if it is set well, its effect is also very obvious, allowing the audience to have a sense of involvement with the supporting characters. It will not be the case that after reading an entire comic, you only know the name of the protagonist, but you don’t know what the supporting characters are?

Typical characters are Zoro, Nami, and Sanji in One Piece, Sasuke, Neji, and Lee in Naruto.

Some of them are even more popular than the protagonists just because of the good plot of Memory Kill.

These characters have flashback plots, so the audience has a deep sense of empathy for them, and they would cry when watching their plots. On the contrary, those who don't do this in the plot, such as Tenten, Ino, and Choji in Naruto, feel like transparent people in the later stages.

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

Hallucinations of his best friend Piedo, who died of a serious illness due to lack of money when he was a child, appeared in his mind.

Talk to him, talk to him.

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

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

In the comic, when Leorio and Piedo's hallucination talked for half a chapter of the comic, and then turned around, he saw that his friend Piedo's hallucination had become a rotting skeleton.

An illusion is always an illusion

No matter how much his 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. After you die, you can come to my world. People will die while they are alive, so there is nothing to worry about. Frankly speaking, you are not made to be a doctor. After you die, the two of us can have a good time together. Don't leave me alone, Leorio...] Piedo's withered bones and his words to Leorio caused a sudden change in the comic style.

When the audience saw this, they thought they were reading a horror comic.

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

[I think I still can’t go to your place. 】

【Why. ] Piedo's withered bones asked rhetorically.

[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 doesn’t matter, I don’t charge for medical treatment. 】

Leorio in the comics has bright eyes at this moment, tears streaming down his face as he looks at the withered bones of his friend.

There is no sound, no background music, just black and white comics and delicate depiction of the characters' eyes.

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

If a person said this to you in reality, few people would believe that there would be such idealism in the world.

In other words, people believe that there are such idealists in the world, but they do not believe that they will meet such good people.

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

[I must live and become a doctor. Piedo]

Leorio knelt on the ground, begging the hallucination of his friend Piedo to forgive him for not being able to die with him and leave this world.

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

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

Although he didn't show his face at this moment, it was obvious that in Leorio's eyes, he was no longer a withered bone.

Just when everyone in the Dragon Kingdom thought that Chapter 7 of Hunter Hunter would unfold the struggle regarding the hunter assessment in detail, the plot of this work shifted to the conversation between Leorio and Piedo in his hallucination.

In fact, the plot of this episode...

However, it has become the most discussed chapter among readers since the series of "Hunter Hunter" began.

"It made me cry."

"Damn it, I wrongly blamed Leorio. When he and Kurapika were talking to Gon in episode 6, he said that his purpose of becoming a hunter was to make money. I laughed at him at the time, but now I feel like a fool. ”

"Leorio is a realist! He knows that curing diseases and saving lives is not just about kindness. He needs money to be a doctor, and he also needs money to help children who can't afford medical treatment for free after becoming a doctor, so as long as he makes a lot of money, he can realize his dream."

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

"This character is really great."

"I never thought that one day I would be so fascinated by a battle work that has been serialized to the seventh episode and the protagonist has not yet fought with others."

"I cried directly. →"

"The foundation of the old thief's character creation feels more It's great! This comic has only been serialized for seven chapters, but there are already seven or eight interesting characters. On the contrary, in Sword Art Online, the main character and the heroine are well-shaped, but the supporting characters are a little less impressive. "

"Who said that the supporting characters in Sword Art Online are not good? What else do you want from that old dog Xu Xiang? The strongest villain in history that readers want to kill the most, doesn't that prove the old thief's ability to shape characters in Sword Art Online?"

"Xu Xiang's dislike is based on the success of Asuna's characterization, because there is a supporting character who wants to tarnish such a perfect Asuna, so you will find Xu Xiang disgusting. If Xu Xiang wanted to tarnish a passerby, you would only say, "I like this pervert." "

"Anyway, the two works The works are all good, but it is true that the plot of Leorio in this episode made me cry. And the plot of this episode should be read together with the sixth episode where Leorio said that his dream is to make money. The contrast is very strong. "

"It's mainly because of the strong sense of substitution! I feel that Leorio is just like ordinary people like us who read comics, but we accept our ordinariness and go with the flow. In the comics, he refuses to admit defeat and is still working hard. "

"I feel that the characterization of these supporting roles in this comic by Lao Zei is quite interesting! Is it really okay to be the protagonist, the innocent protagonist? At first, his plot was quite interesting, but Xiaojie is not smart, except that he gets along better with animals. Apart from being good and optimistic, there are no other major advantages. If it continues like this, the spotlight will be taken away by the supporting roles. I think it would be better to change the protagonist to Leorio. "

"Don't panic. What are you in a hurry for? Don't look at Lao Zei with your mortal eyes. After all, Lao Zei's works never follow common sense. Several of his works are of the type that have never appeared in Longguo before. Although this kind of innocent male protagonist has never appeared in Longguo's works before, Lao Zei may be able to create something new! "

Xia Yan's comics fan group talked about the shaping of Leorio in the seventh episode all night. The next day, the latest voting data of Beizhou Comics was released.

The total number of votes for the seventh episode of Hunter x Hunter officially exceeded the three million mark, which is basically the same as the peak of Initial D's popularity.

This is the benefit of Xia Yan's fame.

In terms of the interestingness of the work, Hunter x Hunter, which has only been serialized to the seventh episode and has just opened up its world view, is definitely not as strong as Initial D.

But Xia Yan has a lot of fans. As long as the quality of his new work is slightly online, the popularity increase will naturally far exceed that of other creators' works.

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

Only the seventh episode has exceeded the three million votes mark. What the hell is this? .

Why is it so fierce?

This voting data is only achieved by "Initial D", a work in the top ten in the historical volume sales in the Dragon Country comics industry.

It's not that you, Xia Yan, can't create a new comic with the same popularity as Initial D, but the popularity of the seventh episode is a joke?

Even if it is a brainless vote by fans.

Initial D is a racing comic. Wouldn't Xia Yan's new comic be a young boy's hot-blooded comic?

This data is not to mention that other colleagues in the industry can't understand it, even many people in Beizhou Comics can't understand it.

Just like in a parallel world, if Oda finishes One Piece and draws a girl's love comic, how many of his fans will be able to keep up with his pace?

"But in the end, changing the style is only one factor. The quality of the work must be considered! Readers will not choose the type of work. As long as you create an interesting plot, theoretically anyone in the world will become a fan of this work. Just like Initial D, I bet that 50% of comic readers don't know how to drive. They were not racing comic fans before the birth of Initial D." Xia Yan said with a smile.

"Although the plot of Hunter x Hunter was a little slow in the early stage, it also has its advantages, that is, there is no discouragement throughout the whole process. From the first episode to now, there has been no plot that disgusts readers. The villains are smart, and the protagonist team is also decisive. Although the main plot may be slower to expand, the plot is still attractive."

After Mo Ran stopped, her eyes turned, and she was too lazy to think about it.

Anyway, she was responsible for drawing in this comic creation, so let Xia Yan complete the plot herself.

However, Hunter x Hunter has firmly occupied the first place in the comic magazine ranking since the first serialization, and the total number of votes this week exceeded 3 million. Because the single volume has not been released yet, it is not clear what the situation is, but at least in the journal "Beizhou", the fan popularity of the combination 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, and then said.

"Monster?"

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

"No, I just spoke out what was in their hearts for your colleagues. I can feel 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 the monster, because you and I are on the same team. So we are in the eyes of our peers in the comic industry," Xia Yan said with a smile.

"It's a conjoined monster."

"We." Mo Ran thought for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled.

"Let me tell you, you said before the Hunter Hunter comic was serialized that you wanted this comic to become the highest-volume-selling work in the history of the Dragon Kingdom comic industry."

"Yeah" Xia Yan looked at Mo Ran.

"What? Do you believe it now?"

"I believe it." Mo Ran nodded.

"So, when do you think that day will come? In three years? Or longer."

"Of course it won't be that long. Come to think of it, I'm only in the first semester of my junior year."

"Before I graduate from college, we can become the number one in the history of Dragon Kingdom comics." Xia Yan thought for a while and said.

"Of course, for me personally, it is expected that within a year and a half before graduating from college, animation, comics, and novels will all reach the top of the list."

When Mo Ran heard this, her expression condensed and she looked at Xia Yan's face seriously.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course. I won't tell others what's in my heart. I will tell you, Tang Yin, and Song Lingjun, my three good friends." Xia Yan also responded in a serious tone.

"Before graduating from college." A smile broke out on Mo Ran's face. She couldn't help it, and her shoulders trembled.

"why are you laughing?"

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

"If you achieve this, you are a creator in the two-dimensional industry, but all the protagonists in your novels are not as powerful as you are in reality!"

"Think about it. The heroine on the journey of youth is a nerd who is cute. The male protagonist is an unknown celebrity, and the otaku is a loser. The protagonists who went to the moon are two Ph.D.s in the field of science and technology. The male protagonist is a parasitic beast who will return to school later. Live like an ordinary person. The male protagonist of Sword Art Online is an internet-addicted boy who is addicted to games. The male protagonist of Initial D, who is also a mountain racing bully, has not yet become the first in the island country." The more Mo Ran said, the more he wanted to laugh. .

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

"This" Xia Yan thought for a while and found it a bit funny himself, so he laughed out loud.

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

"Although I have been all thanks to you until now, if the achievement of being the best-selling comic in the history of Dragon Kingdom can really be achieved, then I can be regarded as following you and going down in history."

"I told you not to be so negative all the time. No matter how I come up with excellent stories, I still don't know how to draw comics, and I don't have the time and money to learn." Xia Yan thought for a while, raised his arm, and touched the ink with his fingers. There was a flick on Ran's forehead.

Mo Ran was stunned for a moment and covered his forehead.

"Whether it's Initial D or Hunter, these two works are created by our cooperation. There is no honor or no honor. The honor belongs to the two of us." Xia Yan said.

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

"To us. So don't pay attention to the messy reports on the Internet, the media, and the news. If I had just randomly found a cartoonist to cooperate, I would have achieved the results I have now," Xia Yan said.

He also knew that after he and Mo Ran, a cartoonist duo, became famous, Mo Ran became controversial in the Dragon Kingdom.

There is nothing to say about her comic drawing skills. After growing up through the serialization of Initial D, she is now definitely at the top level in the comics industry of Dragon Kingdom.

But now the entire Internet public opinion is basically slanderous that she hugged him and had an unclear relationship with him to get the cooperative relationship.

People on the Internet are just so boring.

Xia Yan has always known about it, but he couldn't open his mouth to persuade him for fear of causing misunderstanding. This time, he took the opportunity of joking to introduce the topic.

"There is no original, and no if. Now, it is a fact. You and I have come together in the comics industry to this point."

Mo Ran's eyes turned red when she heard this, but she quickly held it back, took a deep breath, and quickly slapped Xia Yan's forehead with a snap of her fingers.

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

"Don't forget, I am your senior. You have only known me for a few years, and you are so disrespectful to me? Did you treat me like this just now, do you think I will be distracted by your diversion of the topic? How about it, it hurts Right." Mo Ran said with a smile.

Xia Yan was definitely not convinced when he heard this, and he and Mo Ran chased and fought like children in the office area for a while before calming down.

The two's weekly comic storyboard exchange time soon ended.

The first half of December is over and the second half is coming.
