comic shop.

holy shit!

Leonard stared fixedly at the words 'adapted from Adam Duncan's novel Lord of the Mysteries' written on the comic, and swears for a long time.

Western writers prefer to use their real names compared to Eastern writers who like to use pseudonyms, although this is not absolute.

As for the reason.

In Dongguo, it’s because the early novels belonged to an unpopular literary form, otherwise they wouldn’t be called novels, but big talk, and the word ‘little’ summed up the embarrassing situation of a novelist.

Therefore, until the explosion of online literature in the Asian era, strange pen names were still the mainstream of writers, and almost no one wanted to use their real names.

What are the benefits of a pseudonym?

For those who are on the street, acquaintances can't recognize you through the pen name, and they can write whatever they want, saving face-to-face personal attacks from people who don't like novels.

After being unable to continue writing due to grades, force majeure and other factors, you can also discard the existing pen name and put on a new vest at any time.

And a pseudonym with a specific meaning is definitely easier to remember than a real name that has dozens of repetitions in a school.

Just like how many celebrities change their names to more unique ones in order to become famous.

West also liked to use pen names in the past, but it was not because of the status of the novel like Dongguo, but because it was very yellow and violent, and all kinds of indescribable, so I had to use pen names.

For example, Adam's nobleman, Nora Bing, the queen of color novels, never dared to use her real name before.

The basic flow of her novels, as she summed it up, is, ‘Start by describing a few cities in Europe, use 30 euphemistic words to describe the indescribable, and then boom! Your bestseller is ready! '.

It's that simple and rude!

In modern times, the atmosphere is becoming more and more open, coupled with the implementation of the classification system, any novel can be written.

What is most important at this time?

Naturally it is famous!

Between taking a pseudonym and using your real name, do you still have to think about it?

By real name, of course!

Because a pseudonym is also an asset, it can be deprived of transfer or neglected to weaken, but the real name cannot be deprived in this way.

Whatever the occasion, your work will be stamped with your name, and people will know who you are!

Don't underestimate this difference, because 99% of readers will not really love it enough to search for your real name beyond the pseudonym, and even changing your name will damage your reputation.

For example, Nora Bing had divorced her ex-husband Enchanting a long time ago, but why did she still bear her ex-husband's surname?

Because when she started writing novels and became famous, she used the name Nora Bean, and her readers remembered the name Nora Bean.

Adam was born again, so he naturally knew this truth, so when he borrowed the Lord of Mysteries, he didn't pay tribute to the pseudonym 'Squid Loves Diving', but directly used Adam Duncan's real name.

Nowadays, even if it is a comic adaptation, the cover is printed with Adapted from Adam Duncan's novel Lord of the Mysteries, not adapted from the novel Lord of the Mysteries produced by Random House Press.

certainly.

Shuren Zhou said: Everything has two sides. Fame and privacy can only be chosen. In the world of adults, it is a child's good wish to have both.

Adam Duncan's real name is printed on the comic book, seen directly by Leonard.

So, exposed.

What's the matter, Leonard?

Next to him, a boy who also wore glasses looked over curiously.

The comic circle and the nerd circle are highly overlapping, both belong to the niche circle, and they are in the same place. There are only a few people who come back and forth to buy comics and read comics, and most of them know each other.

I know the original novelist of this manga.

When Leonard saw and asked, the anger of 'Adam didn't tell me he published a book and didn't treat me as a friend' that popped up in his mind at the beginning quickly disappeared, and the corners of his mouth grinned uncontrollably, and he raised his head slightly. Chest, proudly said: He is my best friend!

real or fake?

Adam Duncan is Leonard your friend?

impossible!

The comic shop is only that big, and when Leonard said this, everyone gathered around.

of course it's true!

Leonard said loudly: Adam is my best friend, and he helped me beat Jimmy back then.

What? Adam Duncan is your ruthless friend?

This time, it was even more frustrating, because no one would associate the writer with the ruthless person. The contrast is too great, and this plot can only be seen in superhero comics.

Stop bragging.

At the beginning, some people still believed what he said, but now few people believe Leonard.

it is true.

Leonard is anxious to get his asthma spray: Adam is really my best friend.

How do you prove it?

Someone questioned.

I……

Leonard opened his mouth, but found that he had no way to prove himself.

Look! It really is bragging!

The questioner laughed.

I'll prove it to you.

Leonard took the first volume of the comics of the Lord of the Mysteries, and after paying the money, he walked out of the comic shop angrily.

California.

Pasadena.

Howard, breakfast is ready~

A huge figure was busy in the kitchen, and then shouted upstairs.

I am coming.

An impatient and childish male voice came from upstairs.

Don't yell at me.

The huge figure said: I am your mother.

I know!

The impatient and immature male voice was getting closer and closer, and a thin and short figure came down from the sound of the stairs: Everyone knows you are my mother!

Come and eat obediently, we have to see the doctor later.

The huge figure reminded.

I know.

The skinny and short boy sat down at the dining table and bargained: But I'm going to the comic shop when I get back, and I need to replenish.

Are you sure you are going to buy comics?

The huge figure questioned: You know that the consumption of paper at home is getting bigger and bigger, right?

I do not know what you're talking about!

The short and thin boy froze for a moment, and then yelled out again: If you don't believe me, you can follow in, provided you can get in without opening the door!

It's all your damn father's fault. If he hadn't abandoned our mother and son, I wouldn't have needed to eat so much, and how could I have become what I am now.

The huge figure said aggrievedly: Even you despise me now, what's the point of me living anymore, I might as well die, woo...

The short and thin boy rolled his eyes helplessly. It was not the first time he had seen this scene, and he should have immunity by now.

But don't look at him yelling at his mother at every turn, he still loves his mother in his heart, so this kind of cliché crying always works.

I didn't dislike you.

The boy said helplessly.

You just dislike me.

The huge figure is unrelenting.

If I dislike anyone, it is impossible for me to dislike you!

The boy couldn't help yelling again.

Look! You said you didn't dislike me!

The huge figure accused.

The voice was full of air, and there was no trace of grievance and crying.

...

The boy was speechless.
