Chapter 232: Did the Fan Fiction Really Kill the Original Novel?

This guy is addicted to drawing fan art, right?

Seeing this small account called "Xingchen Wudi" posting again, the forum friends all opened the post happily.

However, even though this forum friend's previous full-time fan sequel was well drawn.

It has the style of the original.

But everyone still didn't take it too seriously.

The surprise of one episode is nothing.

Hunter x Hunter has been suspended for nearly a year.

Maybe this forum friend spent a whole year thinking about it before drawing this episode.

Being able to draw this episode.

It doesn't mean that this forum friend has really reached the level of Togashi.

After all, comics are long-term creations, and an occasional peak doesn't mean anything.

It's like an online novel.

Many authors can write an excellent beginning, but the later they write, the worse they get.

It's because the beginning can be slowly thought about.

But once the book is published, it must be updated every day.

The true level will be exposed without a doubt.

Therefore, netizens don't have too many expectations for this forum friend's second fan sequel.

But they were free anyway, so it didn't matter if they read it.

But when they finished reading the comics in the post.

Their eyes widened involuntarily...

Because the comics in front of them did not decline in quality as they thought, and were far inferior to the previous episode.

On the contrary, the quality seemed to be higher than the previous episode.

It made them feel like they were reading the original work.

The plot was well connected.

The characters in it were no different from those in the original work.

The most important thing was the performance in battle.

In the work of Hunter x Hunter, each character has a unique special ability.

The reason why Hunter x Hunter is so popular is that during the battle, these special abilities will be reasonably exerted by the author to show different characteristics, showing a thrilling duel.

This is the talent of Togashi.

It is also a feature that all fan authors cannot imitate.

But in the comics published by this "Star Invincible".

A wonderful battle comparable to the original work is presented to readers in a hearty way.

Let them feel as if they are really reading Togashi's own work, not some fan fiction.

"No way, no way, brother, didn't he really steal the manuscript from Togashi's computer?"

"It's unlikely. After all, if Togashi really has a manuscript, why doesn't he update it? I don't think Togashi has any manuscripts saved."

"I also think it's a fan fiction. This guy's ability is too strong, isn't it? This level is really comparable to the original. Why does such a big guy need to draw fan fiction? Isn't it better to draw commercial comics like Xingchen students and become famous?"

"Brother, can you take me with you when you go to Togashi's house next time? I want to give him a razor blade!"

"This guy's name is Xingchen Wudi. Could he also be a student of Xingchen Academy?"

"Oh my god, is it true? Is Xingchen students so good at imitating?"

The friends in the Hunter x Hunter forum were all shocked by the level of this episode.

There was a lot of discussion.

Although a small number of people have begun to doubt whether it is a real original manuscript.

But most of the friends are still rational.

I think it is a fan work.

It's just that this guy is a bit strong.

Everyone is curious.

Unfortunately, the host named Xingchen Wudi disappeared as soon as he posted.

He didn't reply to any questions in the post at all.

This made everyone suppress their confusion.

I plan to wait until next week to see if there is any new content.

This week, the Hunter x Hunter forum is full of discussions about these two comics.

It even spread to group chats and other places.

Let more book fans know the news.

In the next week, many netizens ran to the forum early to wait.

Want to see if there is any new...

Soon.

Countless friends' eyes widened.

Because it was almost the same time as last week.

The mysterious Xingchen Wudi brother posted a new post.

"I was not satisfied after reading the last episode, so I tied Togashi the old thief in a small dark room and forced him to finish the latest 403 episodes. Now I share it with you for free..."

Oh my god, it's really updated again?

This time, the mentality of the forum friends is obviously different.

No longer careless like before.

Rush into the post as soon as possible and watch the latest issue of the comics.

After reading it, the eyes of netizens widened again.

This is already the third episode.

Maybe in the first or second episode, the length is not enough and many things cannot be fully displayed.

But now the third episode is out.

When you look at it in a coherent way, it is completely the original level of Togashi's work.

Of course, it is not completely different from the previous works.

Old fans can feel it.

For example, the language style has changed slightly.

The look and feel of the storyboard is also slightly different.

But this is actually understandable.

After all, Togashi has rested for a year.

In a year, the author will always change a lot.

Here we can use Dragon Clan as an analogy.

Who would have thought that the author of Dragon Clan, Jiangnan.

The level will decline so quickly, and Dragon Clan 5 is simply unbearable to watch.

In short, the talent that belongs to Togashi can't be concealed at all.

At this moment, netizens can't help but wonder if these three chapters are really the original manuscripts of the old thief Togashi?

If it's true, then could it be that this star-invincible brother crossed the ocean in his physical body and went to steal the manuscript from the old thief Togashi's house?

In short, there is no doubt about the quality of the work.

Definitely the level of the original author.

Most of the real evidence is the manuscript of the old thief Togashi.

It sounds a bit bizarre.

It's not like there isn't another possibility.

That is, there are really domestic comic masters who imitate the Hunter style and draw such fan works.

But this is actually even more impossible.

After all, every master has his own style.

It's not that easy to imitate others.

Not to mention that if you have this kind of skill, wouldn't it be good to paint original works and become famous?

Why draw such a profitless fan work.

In short, domestic Hunter fans are excited.

They immediately left messages: "Boss, how many more words have you stolen, and how long will it take before you can fully release them in Chinese version?"

"Boss, just lock up the old thief Togashi, don't chop off your hands!"

"I'm still a little doubtful. Can old thief Togashi really have any manuscripts?"

"Although I can't figure it out, I just want to watch the latest episode!"

"Is there another one next week? Look at me like a big star?"

The friends were extremely enthusiastic, and the number of floors posted quickly exceeded 5,000.

Unfortunately.

This mysterious poster ran away as before.

Don't reply to anyone's comments at all.

But the enthusiasm of the bar friends has not disappeared.

Because at the same time next week.

Updated again, still the same recipe, still the same taste.

This makes domestic full-time hunter book fans cheer as if it’s the New Year.

After all, it has been since the old thief Togashi started to mess up.

On average, only three or four chapters are updated a year.

Now, they see a year's worth of sales in one month.

This feeling is simply not too good.

And next, there was even more.

To be honest, the more book fans read, the more they feel that this is the work of the old thief Togashi.

But the update speed also made them feel more and more outrageous.

Does the old thief Togashi really have so many saved manuscripts?

However, confusion is still confusion, and you still need to watch it.

As a book lover, as long as you enjoy reading it, no matter what.

Originally, with the enthusiasm of a full-time hunter.

If such a big thing happened, it should be a hot search on the Internet.

However, during that time, the works of Xingchen Animation students conquered the global market.

It has directly raised the upper limit of China's animation industry to the world's first-class level.

Hot searches continue.

Therefore, major events that happened in the full-time hunter circle did not receive attention and did not leave the circle.

As for the island country, there are also Chinese book fans who have illegally circumvented the wall and came to talk about the latest news.

But at that time, comic book fans in the island nation were attracted to blasphemy.

At the same time, I was immersed in the sense of crisis that the Japanese comics were about to be overtaken by Chinese comics.

As for the latest news about Hunter?

Laughing to death!

The old thief Fu Jian has not updated it. How can you, a Chinese, know better than the people of our island country?

We islanders haven’t seen it yet, how could you Chinese people have seen it?

So no one cares at all.

Until the popularity of works like Blasphemy finally began to wane.

At the same time, some domestic netizens posted the latest chapters of "Hunter Hunter" on the island nation's comic forum.

It was only noticed by many island country comic fans.

Although they don't know Chinese.

But the familiar painting style, storyboards, character expressions, and battle scenes all surprised them...

This is not the style of the old thief Togashi, who else could it be?

Most importantly, and not just in one sentence.

Eight chapters in total.

This shocked the island nation’s comic fans.

what's the situation?

Isn’t the old thief Togashi from the island country?

How come they haven’t seen the Japanese version yet, but the Chinese version came out first!

Because of my previous experience in Rihua Dragon Clan and Zhetian comics.

Therefore, these eight episodes of the Full-Time Hunter fanfic were quickly published.

After the Japanese version began to circulate in the island country.

The repercussions are undoubtedly more intense.

Full-time hunter fans in the island country simply don’t want too many.

Looking at the finished works now, I am stunned.

This language style, this psychological description of the characters.

If this was not painted by the old thief Togashi, they would have eaten a ton!

Watching eight episodes at once is as enjoyable as celebrating the New Year for these island fans.

But after joy comes anger.

Old thief Fu Jian, what's going on?

If your country doesn’t update, why should you secretly update abroad?

Do you take us island country fans seriously?

Do you want to destroy the island country comics?

But soon, they learned new news.

It is said that this is the reason why these manuscripts appeared in China.

It was because someone secretly sneaked into the old thief Togashi's house and stole the manuscript.

Later, the old thief was imprisoned in a small dark room and forced to draw.

After hearing this, fans from the island country felt less angry.

if it is like this.

Then they said, please continue to lock up the old thief Fu Jian.

It will be locked until the game of Hunter is finished and then released.

If the money is not enough, they are willing to crowdfund.

This is enough to show how much people hate the old thief Togashi.

However, there are still some netizens from island countries who feel something is wrong.

How could old thief Togashi have saved a manuscript?

And if he was locked up in a dark room, wouldn’t his rich wife call the police?

So I contacted the editor of Jump Animation Magazine.

Want to check on the situation of Togashi.

At the same time, ask what the manuscript circulating online is about.

When the editor of Jump saw the Japanese version of the sequel to Hunter x Hunter, he was also confused...

As an editor, he couldn't find any faults.

But what's going on?

Togashi found a rich girlfriend, and he didn't even bother to make money from comics, and directly posted them on the Internet for free?

Is he crazy?

The editor immediately ran to Togashi's house.

Togashi, who was playing mahjong, was pulled off the table by the editor with a confused look on his face.

After listening to the editor, Togashi laughed immediately.

He secretly updated eight episodes?

Laughing to death!

Even though he stopped updating for a year, he actually hasn't drawn a single episode yet.

How could there be eight episodes?

It must be a fan work.

Yoshihiro Togashi is still very confident in his ability.

He thinks it's just a fan work, what level can it be.

It is probably because of the readers' new method of forcing me to update.

However, when the editor sent the work of Huaxia Circulation with a serious face.

Togashi, who was originally careless, was stunned after reading it...

This...

Something is wrong!

It is too wrong.

This comic really feels like it was drawn by himself.

Could it be that he really drew it, but he just forgot it in his computer?

But this is obviously impossible.

Togashi himself knows best that there is only half a chapter of the manuscript in his computer, and it is still a draft.

The manuscript in front of him is not drawn by him at all.

It's just that the comic in front of him gives him a feeling that this world seems to have another self.

It's really amazing.

Moreover, Togashi, who has always been lazy, felt a sense of crisis.

Before, he dared to show off all the time, wasn't it arrogance?

But now, someone draws his work so well.

This makes Togashi a little restless.

He immediately promised the editor that he would publish one chapter this month, and one chapter per month this year.

This unexpected surprise made the editor smile immediately.

But Togashi had a headache.

Because this fan work has many similarities with the subsequent plot he had conceived.

If he republished it himself, he would definitely not follow the original idea.

This is difficult...

Re-conceiving is a lot of work.

Just thinking about it gives Togashi a headache.

In the past, Togashi often heard that fan works killed the original work.

But he just listened to it as a joke.

After all, who would draw fan works if they were really talented?

The original work that could be killed by fan works must be of poor quality.

But now, Togashi can't laugh anymore.

Because he is really going to be killed by fan works...

...

When the news that the editor will communicate with Togashi came out.

Whether it is China or the island country, the fans of Hunter x Hunter were shocked.

Togashi has no manuscripts saved? He was not locked up in a small black room.

What does this mean?

The latest episode of Hunter x Hunter that they have been obsessed with recently turned out to be a fan work?

But this is too outrageous.

With this level of skill, why don't you draw original comics to become famous? Instead, you draw fan works that can't make money. Are you bored?

Could it be that you also found a rich wife?

Are you here to tease us and experience life?

However, the full-time fans who were fooled were not angry.

After all, on the one hand, these eight episodes are really good to watch.

Even the fan works made them intoxicated and refreshed.

On the other hand, this fan work actually forced Togashi to update.

It is said that at least one episode will be updated in January this year.

This is definitely a great merit!

One year is equivalent to three years of work.

So in their hearts, not only are they not angry, but they are even a little grateful to this fan artist.

Domestic netizens are also curious about who this great god called Xingchen Wudi is.

Many netizens speculate that most of them are students majoring in animation at Xingchen College.

After all, there are two words "Xingchen" in his name.

This should not be a coincidence.

So for a while, the popularity of Xingchen animation majors has risen again.

Even the students of Xingchen Animation were a little surprised when they saw the news.

This level is quite high.

Could it be that their classmates really drew it?

But most students have comics to draw.

They have no time to draw other works.

So the students focused their attention on those students who did not participate in the production of animation.

They think that there must be hidden masters among them.

Pretending to be bad, playing the game of playing the pig to eat the tiger, right?

This is too cliché.

But the twenty or so students were also confused.

It's not us, it's really not us...

If we have this level, we can't play the pig.

Wouldn't it be more fun to pretend directly?

So, who is it?

For a while, the whole network was searching for the true identity of Xingchen Wudi.

Major comic platforms also issued a large-scale recruitment order.

I hope Xingchen Wudi can go to their website to draw comics.

After all, with the level shown by Xingchen Wudi, once he makes a move, it will definitely be a top-notch work.

Now, with the help of Xingchen Academy, Chinese comics are becoming more and more popular and attracting attention from all over the world.

Once there are high-quality works, the benefits will be huge.

But unfortunately.

Ever since Togashi announced the update.

That Xingchen Wudi has completely disappeared...

As if he had never appeared before.

Both readers and comics professionals were puzzled.

What on earth is this big guy trying to do?

In the face of such high popularity, he actually disappeared without a trace.

Is it true that he doesn't care about fame and fortune at all?
