Chapter 405 Lin Qingshan's Concerns

Although the recent plot of "God Clan" has initially caused controversy, it has not reached the point where the one-eyed cat teacher made a big move like "I'm sorry that I couldn't let Sukuna-sama enjoy himself."

Therefore, most of the fans of "God Clan" are still at the stage of believing in and supporting "God Clan" with the filter of the past.

Therefore, the popularity of "God Clan" has only slightly declined. It has fallen from being the most popular comic series in the comic world since the end of "Purple Air Coming from the East" to now competing with another super popular comic "True Dragon God Selection".

But...

"Is it still like this?"

After reading the latest "God Clan" comic series, Lin Qingshan said with some distress, "Teacher Yang, you can't make the same mistake again. Oh, this won't work."

After his recent busy work ended and he returned to his normal working state, he recently resumed his daily life of reading comics, animations, novels, and playing games for entertainment.

As mentioned before, this parallel world is not completely the same as the world where Lin Qingshan lives.

After Lin Qingshan traveled through time, he saw many works from his previous life, and also saw many excellent works that he did not have in his previous life. Then there are works like "The Protoss"... The settings have been changed to some extent, and the names of the characters have been changed, but the plot is basically the same, but it has been changed from a novel to a comic.

In addition to "The Protoss", he also saw famous novels in his previous life such as "The Lord of Secrets", "The Clouds" series, "The Gods" series, and "The Dumb Residence". Without exception, they have all become comics in this world, and some of the names are different like "The Protoss", while others are still the original names.

But it's okay this way. The settings and plots of these novels are good, and they have a different flavor when they are changed into comics.

This is equivalent to reading a comic, like opening a blind box, you never know what the plot of that comic is like.

Maybe it's pretty good at the beginning, but it's a big mess at the end.

But if you know that the plot of this comic is absolutely fine, and then read it with a novel idea, then in addition to not getting something bad to ruin your mood, there is also a sense of novelty and surprise.

Lin Qingshan recently returned to reading comics after he no longer had to be responsible for the animation production work.

But he recently finished reading the latest plot of "God Clan" and found that it was almost the same as the subsequent development in his previous life, so he was a little worried.

Others just want to have fun, but Lin Qingshan is not actually a fun person.

For example, when teaching Akutami Yuta, he tried his best to pull Akutami Yuta back on track, so that he would not be like the one-eyed cat teacher in his previous life who made such a mess.

Now seeing the subsequent plot development of "God Clan", he suddenly felt that he was going to be in trouble.

He actually hoped that "God Clan" would have a good ending in this world.

"Should I go and talk to this teacher Yang?"

Lin Qingshan was a little annoyed, and then he said to himself, "But I don't seem to be very familiar with him. It's not good to go over and talk about the work so rashly..."

Although both of them are super popular cartoonists in the comic magazine, in fact...

The two of them don't really have much intersection. Lin Qingshan is a very independent person and will not casually make connections with others. Of course, he will not appear timid if others take the initiative to get to know him.

But it is precisely because of this...

Lin Qingshan is not very good at taking the initiative to make connections and make friends.

In a word, he is used to being passive.

But Yang Shuzhun's personality happens to be a twisted middle-aged literary middle-aged man. He regards Lin Qingshan as a competitor, but he will not take the initiative to get to know Lin Qingshan.

So the two usually meet at the annual meeting of the comic world and the newcomer awards, and make simple acquaintances.

At the beginning, it was okay. Yang Shuzhun even ran over and said something like "I want to challenge you".

But as the popularity of "God Clan" rose, he became a well-known and popular cartoonist, so he didn't like to show it like this.

Lin Qingshan would not take the initiative to talk... But he didn't want to watch "God Clan" rot.

He has the ability of [Prophet's Dream (Master)], maybe he can help Yang Shuzhun revive the plot of "God Clan".

But how to tell Yang Shuzhun about this?

Just when he was worried about it...

"Teacher? What were you talking about just now?"

Lin Qingshan turned around and found that it was his assistant Wu Shiqing.

She looked at Lin Qingshan with a strange expression, and there was some helplessness in her eyes.

She heard everything just now, but... she just thought that Lin Qingshan was sick.

She suddenly felt sad for Lin Qingshan. The teacher was such a good person, but he was always troubled by mental illness...

It was really sad.

Especially after Lin Qingshan started his new work "The Strange Dao of Immortals", she participated in the drafting work as an assistant. Through the "first-person perspective" of Li Huowang, the protagonist of "The Strange Dao of Immortals", she somewhat understood what the world was like in the eyes of a "mental patient" like Lin Qingshan.

Teachers sometimes say inexplicable things, maybe because of this.

"Nothing."

Lin Qingshan immediately pretended to blink naturally and said.

Wu Shiqing's eyes gradually became depressed at this time. After all, she felt sad for Lin Qingshan.

At this moment, she glanced at the comic magazine and "Gods" single volume in Lin Qingshan's hand and next to the sofa.

"Teacher, are you watching "Gods" recently?"

she asked immediately curiously.

"Yeah...actually the plot and setting of "Protoss" are very interesting."

Lin Qingshan scratched his head and said, "I just feel like there is something wrong with the character's arc."

"Character arc?"

Wu Shiqing was a little confused and asked curiously.

"It's the character's personality, growth and shaping."

Lin Qingshan said sternly, "From my humble knowledge, the creation of works and the shaping of characters should be based on character shaping first, and character is the most important factor. People often like a person who is responsible, courageous and capable. A character who is neither confused nor afraid.”

"But such a character is actually unreal, but as long as the element of 'growth' is added, that is, the protagonist is originally an ordinary person, but he has experienced a series of things and gained the growth he deserves, creating a complete personality, so that the authenticity can be achieved , the character’s popularity also increased.”

"This is what I think is the character arc, just like the light embellishment of a painting, giving the work a real and beautiful experience."

Wu Shiqing suddenly felt like he had found a treasure, obsessively absorbing the creative knowledge he gained from Lin Qingshan.

"Teacher, you are so humble. This is not just shallow knowledge, but true knowledge."

She sincerely admired and said, "No wonder the teacher's works are so popular..."

Lin Qingshan touched his neck with some embarrassment and said, "Actually, I'm just... standing on other people's shoulders."

As a literary copycat, his works are copied from popular creators from another world, and they are not considered great at all.

He also knew very well that what he just said was just his personal opinion as a reader and a comic fan.

"So the problem with Protoss is the lack of character arcs, right?"

Wu Shiqing asked curiously, "Yes, the protagonist seems to have not grown much now after 200 chapters..."

"Yeah... he grew up too slowly, or maybe Teacher Yang didn't intend for him to really grow up."

Lin Qingshan thought for a moment and guessed, "Maybe... he regards the label of bad boy too much as the symbol of the protagonist and doesn't want to take it off?"

"Yes, the protagonist's trademark is always a bad guy...it's really hard to change."

Wu Shiqing frowned and said.

"There is no conflict between decline and growth..."

However, Lin Qingshan denied Wu Shiqing's statement and said, "Actually, in my opinion, the part where the protagonist turns the tide alone in the fourth part of "Gods" is very good. After showing his ability to stand alone, he also showed himself appropriately. He still looks like a bad guy before, so he actually grows up but maintains his personality.”

"but……"

He scratched his head and said, "He ran away directly, but when he went to find Nuonuo, he felt like he was back to square one... He seemed to be the same bad boy who relied on his senior brothers and sisters."

In fact, if he remembered correctly, Odin actually ran out to kill Nono later, and the protagonist stepped forward again.

But to be honest, this kind of strategy of having to stand up and fight until the desperate situation is actually a sign of irresponsibility and irresponsibility.

Once or twice is okay, I can say that I was inexperienced at first.

By the third or fourth time, especially after Eri's death, you still played this trick...

It feels like it is not the world that is restarted, but the protagonist's brain. It is still restarted once a year. After the restart, the protagonist will have no memory of this place. The next time, he will be desperate and desperate.

This is not just a matter of aesthetic fatigue among comic fans, but also a tiredness of the protagonist's ineffective and repetitive actions.

This is actually an ineffective repetitive routine. It seems that the protagonist will never have a long memory after experiencing the same plot situation.

Just like your colleague at work who always can't remember the file format and where the seal is, no matter how good your temper is, you will get angry.

"Teacher, you seem to care about "Gods" very much..."

Wu Shiqing also noticed something was wrong at this time and asked curiously.

"Hmm, if this continues, the plot of "Gods" will worsen."

Lin Qingshan nodded and said, "I actually want to remind Teacher Yang about this. I really like this work. In fact, if the protagonist is better portrayed in the future, this comic will be very good."

"But that's your competitor, teacher..."

Wu Shiqing reminded her kindly.

"Oh, competitors are not rivals, and the impact of healthy competition is better than vicious competition."

Lin Qingshan said nonchalantly, "Instead of expecting others to be unlucky, it's better to expect yourself to become stronger, Shi Qing!"

When bad money drives out good money, it will only make bad money more abundant. However, when good money drives out good money, it will only make better money more abundant.

Lin Qingshan only hopes to see better works, so that they will be interesting.

"Teacher... you are really a good person!"

Wu Shiqing suddenly said with some shame, "I know, I will remember the teacher's teachings in the future!"

"Oh, it's okay..."

Lin Qingshan said with a smile.

"Teacher, do you want to have a chat with the Itchy Rat teacher?"

Wu Shiqing asked, "The teacher should know that teacher..."

"Not familiar with……"

Lin Qingshan touched his neck and said awkwardly, "I'm not too embarrassed to bother him directly..."

The key is that the annual meeting has passed long ago, and the Newcomer Awards are still a long time away in the second half of the year.

"That's it..."

Wu Shiqing didn't have much choice, so she was speechless for a moment.

"Okay... Shiqing, go ahead and do your work first."

Upon seeing this, Lin Qingshan smiled at Wu Shiqing and said, "Don't worry about my affairs here for the time being."

Wu Shiqing nodded and said, "Okay..."

But soon she widened her eyes again, looked at Lin Qingshan and said, "Teacher, you are reading comics here while Chun Qiang and I are working...Teacher, teacher, why have you become so depraved!"

Lin Qingshan just smiled and said, "Oh, isn't this because I want to train you and Chunqiang more..."

…

On weekends, working people who have returned to normal work once again have their leisure time.

For animation viewers and comics fans like Zhou Wenwei, this month is a happy one.

Because there are several well-produced and good-looking comics released in the animation schedule after the New Year, such as the second season of "Chainsaw Man", the seventh season of "The Chosen Dragon", and "Zhan!" "Crimson Eyes", and "Magic City Ghoul", which is currently not very exciting in terms of plot, but can be seen to be quite well-made.

After watching the latest episode update of "Magic City Ghoul" on Thursday morning, you can watch "Zhan!" on Friday morning. Crimson Eyes".

Then you can watch the second season of "Chainsaw Man" and the seventh season of "The Chosen" on Saturday and weekend.

In the meantime, Zhou Wenwei can also watch the serialization of "The Weird Immortal" and "The Gods" on Friday nights.

Although the plot of "Protoss" has been criticized recently, but again, when there is no shocking event and the announcement of a terminal illness, everyone still has some expectations.

Maybe... at the end of the fourth part of "Protoss", the protagonist has completely grown up, and finally grown into a staunch warrior who can lead the hybrids and the gods to fight to the death?

With this idea in mind, Zhou Wenwei still did not give up on "Gods".

However, he still focused more on animation. After all, the influence of comics itself is limited. Why do many comics not get much recognition no matter how popular they are during the serialization period?

On the contrary, there are some comics that were not prominent during the serialization period, but after the animation adaptation, they soared into the sky but were directly recognized by people.

Still recognized as an excellent comic work.

It’s because the influence of animation is difficult for comics to match.

For example, before the comic was adapted into animation, those famous scenes that had appeared in the comic series, and even the plots that caused a sensation and became hot searches after being animated, were basically not on the hot search during the period when the comic was serialized.

On the contrary, if a comic is adapted into an animation, then famous scenes in the animation will immediately become hot searches.

So much so that if any sensational plot appears in the comic series later, it will quickly attract attention.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Zhou Wenwei sat on the sofa at home, took out his mobile phone and made a call, and asked with a smile.
