A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

After the serialization of Hunter x Hunter to the Hunter Assessment, the evaluation of the work has risen sharply.

Although the score of this work was also high before, everyone also understands that this score is basically based on people's trust in Xia Yan, and it is not very related to the quality of the work.

However, after the Hunter Assessment plot, especially the Trial Tower plot, the appeal of the work has risen sharply compared to before.

There is no particularly passionate plot, but in almost every episode, the characters in the work always give everyone an unexpected performance.

In the first duel, Xiaojie blew out the candles, in the second duel, the angry Kurapika hit the fake Phantom Troupe members with a heavy punch, and in the third duel, Leorio and the female prisoner's psychological warfare.

Then there is the fourth duel.

The latest chapter of the plot updated this week.

The black-bellied child Killua vs. Johnny, the most vicious criminal in the history of Hunter.

Obviously, Johnny is not on the same level as those mentally retarded mortals before. As soon as he appeared, he crushed the rocks in the tower with his bare hands, and claimed that what he liked most was to tear people alive, just like tearing boiled chicken breasts alive. His murder was to use his powerful wrist strength to torture people alive.

In just a few pages, the character's attitude towards life that disregards life is revealed.

Just when the fans of Hunter comics thought that Killua would be in danger of his life, even Gon and Kurapika directly persuaded Killua to admit defeat and not go up to fight the Ripper.

But Killua's performance in this episode

made countless Hunter fans look stupid.

In the comics, it was only a few seconds. At the moment when the two fought, Killua's finger bones became longer, and his nails were like the claws of cats. He dug a big hole in the chest of the murderer Ripper, and dug out his heart and crushed it in the middle of his palm.

The Dragon Country version of Hunter x Hunter is not so conservative in this comic treatment, with all the shady dealings and misplaced storyboards.

The bleeding heart, the hollow chest of Johnny the Ripper, and the expression on his face changed from the brutality of killing a child to the desire to live when he is about to die.

This scene shocked Gon and his group in the comic.

Even the Dragon Country comic fans who read the comic were confused.

Members of the killer family Zoldyck

Until now, Killua's true background has been revealed in the comic.

After the serialization of this episode ended, Dragon Country comic fans expressed their great shock.

"Killa? So skilled at killing people?"

"Damn, this chapter scared me! How can such a cute Killua kill people so horribly?"

"Can he be one of the protagonists? A killer as the protagonist's partner?"

"Don't be so arbitrary, maybe he is a kind killer?"

"Kind killer? Think about what you are talking about? Killers are kind.♦♦  ♦♦"

"I mean Killua may be the kind of killer who robs the rich to help the poor! I can accept this setting!"

"Rob the rich to help the poor? Look carefully at the introduction of this chapter of the comics, the killer family, the Zoldyck family. A killer The industry has formed an industrial chain, and the family has been passed down from grandfather to father, and from father to son, and it is kind?"

"And the protagonist Xiaojie's performance is also quite different. After seeing Killua kill Johnny the Ripper in this way, he smiled and congratulated Killua!"

"What else do you want? Killua just killed a perverted maniac who had killed hundreds of people. Could it be that Xiaojie is still indignant and blames Killua?"

"That expression is impossible. He cheered on the side. The protagonist's personality is so hard to describe! It feels very different from the style of the boys' comics I read before. "

"Come on, don't apply the impression of the previous boys' comics to the works of the old thief. , his works are different from the mainstream two-dimensional style of Dragon Country. "

"Is there a difference? I don't really feel it!"

"Parasyte is like this, there is no absolute good and evil in it, it just explores the struggle of two intelligent races for survival. Let's not talk about Puella Magi Madoka Magica, with the power of this work, the term "magical girl" has become a derogatory term. As for Hunter x Hunter. Although the official definition of it is a boy's hot-blooded manga, who says that the protagonist of a boy's hot-blooded manga must be a saint? Xiaojie is pretty good! He is good to those he cares about, and he will not be overly loving to those who have nothing to do with him. "

"That's right, there are Some people just read too many comics with saintly protagonists, and their brains can't wrap around. Didn't Killua just brutally kill a murderer? What's the big deal? The protagonist Xiaojie is going to break up with him for such a small matter? "

"Killa's tone shows that this is not the first time he has killed someone. He must have killed a lot of people for his family before. Who knows if there are ordinary good people!"

"Don't think about things that are not portrayed in those comics. In other words, even if Killua really took the assassin's mission and killed some ordinary residents, so what? David, the protagonist of Cyberpunk Edgewalker, has been a cyberpunk for several years and killed a lot of people, but no one has come out to criticize him."

"Anyway, I think Killua is quite handsome in this episode, and the entire hunter world is really attracting me now. Normally, for a hunter assessment, the organizer should control it and try to avoid the death of students involved. You see in the comics, the hunters organize various traps. In the first cave marathon, there are hallucinogenic and poisonous plants in the cave that cause the students to die. In the second assessment, the story of cooking food also includes the process of students capturing ingredients. Death. Let’s not talk about the third assessment. Anyone who wants to take advantage of others, such as climbing down from the Tower of Trial, and not taking the right path will be captured by the monster in the air and eaten directly. It is obvious that the Hunter Association is not a kind person. The association feels like the kind of mercenary organization that pays to kill people. The difference is that the Hunter Association is a formal official organization recognized by the world.

"You said it, I feel it is true. In this work, it seems that everyone who appears is the kind of character who only cares about interests and does not make compromises about right and wrong. Including the examiners of the hunter assessment, sometimes they deliberately set traps , let the students die.”

"Can I say that this is what I want to read in comics? Reality is full of hypocritical virgins, but in comics I want to see real human nature. Why is the old villain so popular? It's because from the parasitic beast to the magic circle, From cyberpunk to hunter, these works don’t discuss things like the Virgin, right and wrong, and morality with you. They are just dealing with survival, and these things are not worth mentioning.”

"Indeed, I have never been able to figure out why I was attracted to the Hunter manga. In fact, the main reason is that the world view reflected in this work gave me a great sense of difference, which is completely different from the mainstream shounen manga in Dragon Kingdom."

"The protagonist in Xia Yan's novel will not intentionally do bad things, but he will not restrain himself by becoming a saint or a moral model. In fact, this is a plot that conforms to the values ​​​​of ordinary people."

"What about Madoka Magica? Madoka is a great saint through and through, sacrificing herself to save the world."

"Come on, Madoka is new to the world, that's why she has that kind of character. You see, in her previous reincarnations, Madoka shed tears more than once and regretted becoming a magical girl. In fact, in those reincarnations, in the end, what is the fate of human beings? Defeating the witch is none of her business. She just wants to live an ordinary life. Madoka regretted it after being whipped by reality, and in her last reincarnation, she recognized the cruelty of the world and loved the world again. The real Madoka is different from the protagonists in other comics and animations. I am a moral model and a steadfast virgin. How much higher is Madoka?"

The plot of the latest chapter of "Hunter Hunter" is beyond the expectations of the Dragon Kingdom comic industry. It is just some anomalies in the plot of this episode, which are beyond everyone's imagination, but it has set off a slightly advanced controversy among the comic fans. discussion of topics.

Some comic fans may indeed need some time to accept the increasingly naked worldview of Hunter.

But most comic fans directly said that it was great.

Xiaojie seems to be naturally stupid, but in fact his behavior is naturally dark. He looks like a cute and handsome boy, but he is actually a cold killer Killua. And Kurapika, who has a sharp tongue but a simple and kind heart. And Leorio, who has a soft heart and ordinary but great dreams.

It was only now that fans of Hunter were looking back at this work and realized that in the past four months, the plot and characters of this work, which seemed to be slow to catch up and were not fun to follow, have been so deeply portrayed. inside them.

The work "Hunter" is like this in itself. If you read it casually, you will only find it interesting, but it may not be very attractive. Only after you read it chapter by chapter, you will find that at a certain plot point After that, you are completely in a trap and can’t get out.

After all, the fact that a comic that has been serialized for more than 20 years and is updated every three to five years can still maintain such high popularity all year round speaks for itself.

In the parallel world, how long did it take for the remake of One Punch Man comics to be discontinued? The popularity of comics has almost halved.

In the next few weeks, the plot of the Hunter's Trial Tower will be serialized one after another.

Because of the passive game of Dongba Master, Xiaojie's five-person group won three games and lost two games against the prisoner group. As a punishment for losing two games, several people were imprisoned in the room for dozens of hours before being released. At this time There is not much time left for a few people to clear the Tower of Trial.

After talking about it, a plot that can reflect the creator's genius and creativity appeared in the early plot of Hunter.

In the majority vote, Xiaojie's team was forced to fight among themselves. In order to clear the trial tower within the limited time limit, they had two roads in front of them, one was the speed road, and the other was that several people could not catch up in the remaining time. long way.

Only three people can pass on the express road, and five people can pass on the long road.

Therefore, the answer to this hunter assessment is very clear. If the five of them do not want all of them to be eliminated, they can only kill at least two of their companions here.

In this situation of internal strife among the five team members, Gon cleverly proposed to vote for the long-distance passage first, and then use a knife and ax weapon to cut the wall to the speed passage, and then the five people crowded together on Killua's skateboard. Go up, pass the skateboard downhill at high speed, and reach the lower tower within the specified time limit.

In fact, if you look at this plot with hindsight, it can only be regarded as a small cleverness, not a great wisdom.

But in fact, it is still the same reason. If you can use this kind of brain teaser-like cleverness as a means to break the deadlock through clever plot shaping, atmosphere portrayal, and character description in the right place and the right location, it will make the audience who read the comics feel an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

It will produce a feeling of, oh, it turns out that this place can break the deadlock like this.

There are too many plot settings and shaping like this in the comics of Hunter x Hunter.

When the comics of Hunter x Hunter were serialized to the 20th episode, the time had come to the end of February.

In just one month, the score of Xia Yan's work in Longguo rose from 9.5 to 9.7, and the number of votes from journal readers rose from 3.3 million to 3.7 million.

Moreover, the sales decline of the comics journal "Beizhou" due to the completion of Initial D has been fully recovered.

In recent years, the best-selling issue of the comics journal "Beizhou" is the one in which the final episode of the comics "Initial D" was serialized.

Weekly sales reached an astonishing 17.7 million copies, making it the undisputed No. 1 sales volume among all the comic journals in Longguo that week!

However, this is only the data for this week. On weekdays, the average sales volume of the comic journal "Beizhou" is around 15.5 million copies.

The data ranked second among the four major comic journals in Longguo is a certain distance from the 16.3 million copies of the first-selling journal.

However, in the three weeks after the completion of Initial D, the sales volume of "Beizhou" magazine dropped rapidly to 13.8 million copies per issue, and then the serialization of Hunter x Hunter returned to 15 million copies driven by the popularity of Xia Yan.

In this month, as the plot of Hunter x Hunter continues to be exciting.

The sales volume of the magazine reached 16.01 million copies.

During the same period, the sales volume of the comic "Xuefeng", which is now the No. 1 selling journal in Longguo, was 16.33 million copies.

During this week, Beizhou Comics spent a huge amount of publicity in Longguo, frantically promoting the "Beizhou" comic journal as the second comic book in Longguo to exceed 16 million sales.

And various threats were made to target the "Snow Wind" comic.

For outsiders, they only saw that the sales of "Beizhou" had risen sharply and had the potential to top the sales.

But for insiders in the Longguo comics industry, there is only one explanation for the rebound in the sales of "Beizhou" magazine.

The full-time Hunter comic has only been serialized for four or five months, and its popularity has caught up with and even exceeded Initial D?

Otherwise, how could the sales of Beizhou Comics Magazine increase without the birth of a second popular comic work other than "Hunter Full-time"? Even exceeded the data when Initial D was serialized?

This shocked Xia Yan's fellow comics colleagues.

The weekly reader votes for Hunter x Hunter cannot accurately reflect the current popularity of Hunter x Hunter. After all, Xia Yan has so many comic fans. Even if these fans don't like Hunter x Hunter, they will vote for Xia Yan stably because of works such as "Initial D", "Magic Circle", "Edgewalker", "Parasyte", and "Sword Art Online". Therefore, it is normal for internal reader votes of a journal like Hunter x Hunter to have high data, depending on the stickiness of the fans.

Only the sales data of this journal has increased. This is the real hard data.

Whose data increased?

It must not be the old comic fans, but the new comic fans of Longguo who were attracted to Hunter x Hunter.

This work has only been less than five months. The popularity has reached this level, Xia Yan, old thief, are you a human being?

In early March.

The comic industry in Longguo is on the verge of a war, and there is a lot of gunpowder between Beizhou Comics and Xuefeng Comics.

After all, the two companies are now unavoidable, and it is impossible for them to give in to the first place in sales of their journals.

However, on the other hand, the animation field has also been in turmoil.

After all, the pre-broadcast promotion for Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion across the Dragon Kingdom has officially begun.
