Chapter 413: To Initially Be Attracted To Ones Appearance, But To Fall For Ones Talents After (1/2)

Unlike Han Leng, who had been very unproductive with his new piece of work and had been spending all his time stirring up trouble on Weibo, Zhao Youyue's closest mangaka friend, Su Li was not the same. She had already uploaded her new original manga ”Himegoto.”

Su Li did not have high expectations for her manga, unlike Han Leng. Han Leng always wanted his works to sell well and have a good reputation to boot. Optimally, he also wanted to grab the attention of many overa.n.a.lytical readers.

An example would be the ”aesthetic researchers” that appeared by virtue of ”Beautiful April,” as well as the debates on what true love was that had set the internet on fire. Was it a long-term form of companions.h.i.+p? Or a short moment of eternity? Or could it be the willingness to sacrifice your own life, without expecting anything in return?

Everyone had their own views and perspectives when it came to love. Everyone had different personal experiences and a different understanding of love. ”Beautiful April” had acted as a catalyst for discussion sas to what was love, which involved many readers. This was something that Han Leng was rather proud of.

Without the existence of such debates and a.n.a.lyses, how could an iconic character like Chu Luoxun possibly emerge out of ”Beautiful April?”

Han Leng clearly knew that no matter what he wrote now, he could easily earn big, as long as he wrote decently. He could ride atop the wave of his ”Beautiful April.” Moreover, he had a lot of brainwashed fans. Even so, he could not bring himself to do it. He had always hoped for his new work to be better than his previous works. Only by repeatedly transcending his limits, he would be able to proceed into a higher realm.

This way, he would be able to satisfy a professional reader like Zhao Youyue. He wanted to write a 'big meal' to placate Zhao Youyue's appet.i.te. Zhao Youyue's cosplay of ”Wen Qingyu” had been pretty good.

This actually made Han Leng a little unhappy. After all, Wen Qingyu was an iconic character from ”Bak.u.man,” and s.h.i.+ Jingnian was its ghostwriter. Furthermore, he was aware that his current writing skills were not yet comparable to that of s.h.i.+ Jingnian's. Even so, he would never be discouraged. By polis.h.i.+ng his skills, he would definitely be able to surpa.s.s s.h.i.+ Jingnian!

Su Li was not as ambitious as Han Leng in the field of literature. She only hoped for her works to sell well. Her reputation meant nothing. As long as she was earning some money, it was all good!

Even if readers admonished her, it was not a problem, as long as they continued to pay for her works. So what, if she takes a harsh beating? So what if the netizens sensationalized more headlines about the poisonous Su Li and her curse?

As long as she made money, everything was good!

Su Li's mentality changed extremely swiftly. Before this, she was still worried as to whether her reputation would affect her career adversely. When she discovered that this would only make her more and more famous, she knew that she had nothing to fear anymore. She only grew more reckless than ever.

Before Su Li had even serialized her new manga, ”Himegoto,” there was a period when she had quite a bit of free time. This was mainly because the updates of ”The Strongest King” were extremely stable. Su Li was too efficient; she drew too fast. She was way ahead of schedule, and had to wait for Rosemary's originals.

In such a situation, Su Li, who was addicted to making money, of course, chose to earn some extra cash. It was not like she was only a mangaka. She was also a famous ill.u.s.trator. If everything about her ident.i.ty as the Great Deity was put aside, her ill.u.s.trations were quite outstanding. The unparalleled beauty of her ill.u.s.trations was not something that average ill.u.s.trators could pull off.

n.o.body knew if the creators that hired Su Li to do ill.u.s.trations had already on tragedic fates to befall upon a certain character. Anyhow, after Su Li released the ill.u.s.trations, the character would be quickly handed a bento. Then, the netizens would ravenously jumpstart the Su Li drama again...

However, Su Li could not care less. No matter what, she had already made a profit. Additionally, she was also on the headlines once again!

The Old Sly authors were equally delighted. They could finally kill off their characters as they wished. Before they carried out the killing, they could request for Su Li to draw some ill.u.s.trations of the character. It was almost like a declaration of death. When the deed was done, they could throw the pan away smoothly ---- ----

Dear precious readers, I really did not want to kill this character, I had no choice. He/she had to die. If not, I'm the one who would have died. There was really no other way!

What? Some people are saying that I privately requested for Su, the Great Deity to draw some ill.u.s.trations?
