Started as a comics editor

Chapter 170 Stealing Learning
It's really awesome.

this moment.

Ru Mi was filled with amazement and even wanted to go find Tang Yao to ask her immediately.

How on earth did she come up with that.

However, because she hadn't seen the latest episode yet, she managed to calm down and continued reading.

The Eternal Demon chapter begins.

This chapter also switches between nervousness and seriousness. All the important characters are portrayed, but the process is hard to describe, especially the character of Xiaohong.

Rumi laughed at them all.

Because I didn't want to go to sea, I became a demon hunter...

This is too tricky.

It’s better to say that this chapter is very tricky throughout.

But after watching it, one has to admit it.

...really talented, really good looking.

at last.

I have finished reading the Eternal Demon arc.

Rumi breathed a sigh of relief and read the comic that was stuck on the celebration banquet plot.

Couldn't help but shook his head.

What a shame, if this comic was more serious...

But soon.

Ru Mi shook his head and overturned his own idea.

wrong.

If this comic were serious, it might not have that flavor.

can only say.

This comic...will completely overturn comic readers' impression of that 'third-rate artist'.

As long as this trend continues.

Because this kind of comic that can be called unique and interesting at the same time is very rare.

So how popular is this comic?
Rumi suddenly remembered this question... She remembered Tang Yao's comic when she was peeping into a group.

How is this comic evaluated among readers?

She really doesn't know.

Because after she remembered it, she went to read the comics first.

"........."

Think of this.

Rumi hesitated for a moment and clicked on MyAnime.

This is the largest animation and comic rating website in China. Although it is not authoritative, it is well-known among most anime fans because the ratings are given by the users themselves.

Rumi will occasionally take a peek at the ratings of their own works here.

She opened the comics section and searched for 'Chainsaw Man'.

soon.

Page jump.

The Chainsaw Man page appears... when you see the score.

Ru Mi was slightly stunned.

“…9.6??? That high???”

It's no wonder she was so shocked. The rating mechanism of this website is based on a 10-point system. Because it has a large number of users and a large base, some people may like a certain work, while others may not.

So theoretically there is no such thing as a perfect work.

…Climbing up to nine points was difficult.

She herself has only received such a high score for one of her works... but that was only after it was completed.

How long has Chainsaw Talent been serialized?

And when you see the number of ratings.

Rumi was even more stunned: "...More than 30,000? No way?"

obviously.

The popularity of this comic was beyond her expectations.

Although MyAnime is very well-known in the two-dimensional user circle, there are still only a few users who will rate it.

If one out of ten people who have seen a work gives it a rating, it's already a lot.

These 9.6 people... gave it a high score of .

"..."

Rumi held the mouse, returned to ANF, opened the work "Chainsaw Man" again, and then went to the comment area.

…The total number of comments is almost over 50,000.

The following are all pictures of comic readers who are playing with memes and discussing the plot.

?

Rumi went to the ANF main section and found that there were many videos about Chainsaw Man.

At least on the ANF site, this work is unparalleled.

So popular...

Rumi is a little unbelievable.

And just then.

Knock knock—there was a sudden knock on the door.

Rumi raised her head and looked towards the door.

Her editor and mother pushed the door open and walked in. This prim middle-aged woman came to the table and, after a moment's silence, asked, "Are you still in touch with that third-rate teacher at Avalon?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Ru Mi frowned slightly when she heard that.

She couldn't figure out the connection between her mother and Tang Yao... She heard that Li Xue also received her when she went to Avalon.

Logically speaking, her mother should not know that the third-rate teacher is Tang Yao.

So why are you asking this all of a sudden?

"...if you still have contact."

Guan Fang's expression was a little strange, and she said stiffly, "I want to ask if Star Chaser intends to continue publishing the single volume of Chainsaw Man."

"Ok?"

Rumi never expected to hear such words. She looked at her mother in surprise: "Why? In our company...wait."

She remembered something.

Some time ago, the single volume of "Fate/Zero" was produced by Star Chaser. When she was in charge of the crossover plot, she seemed to have watched the ANF promotion.

not……

"Is Fate/Zero selling well?"

Ru Mi asked subconsciously.

"……Correct."

Guan Fang was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly. "Very good. Perhaps it's because of the game, or perhaps it's because of ANF. Anyway, there's news from the sales department that they're going to reprint it. We even estimate that the final sales volume will surpass many of your works."

"hiss……"

Ru Mi couldn't help but take a breath when he heard that, and was a little confused.

Not really.

Is that so exaggerated?
Think of this.

Rumi couldn't help but continue asking, "So that's why you're asking about Chainsaw Man...? But this work has only been serialized for 20 chapters, so how can you be so confident? And they didn't say that this comic would also be made into a game, right?"

"..."

Guan Fang was silent again for a moment, then replied, "You've been busy lately, so I don't know how this work has been received by comic book readers, but the editorial department has studied it, and the reception has been unexpected. Most importantly, we held a meeting yesterday to promote the establishment of Star Chaser's own online comic book website... Networking is the general trend, and that's our consensus."

Rumi was also smart and understood immediately: "You guys want to use the "Chainsaw Man" single volume to see if you can deepen your cooperation and learn from Avalon at the same time!?"

"What's stealing? This is borrowing!"

Guan Fang frowned. "This is a normal business practice. Don't think it's strange. Believe it or not, after a while, all publishing houses with comics departments will have similar ideas, because the influence of the online serialization of the comic "Chainsaw Man" is unexpectedly great."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ru Mi slowly lowered her head and looked at the screen in disbelief.

No way?
It won't really change the industry for her, right?
……

In fact.

Guan Fang was not wrong. In addition to them, there were indeed many colleagues who had similar ideas.

Because of the traffic generated by the work "Chainsaw Man" and its nature as a two-dimensional base, the comics section of ANF is growing bigger every day!
As the comics section grew, it began to feed back to the work "Chainsaw Man", pushing the popularity of this work higher and higher...

The online comics model seems to really work!
Many publishing houses are interested.

But this idea has not yet reached its peak. It's just that Star Chaser has a keener sense of smell because it has also cooperated with Avalon on the single volume.

After all, "Chainsaw Man" can only be considered to be getting better at the moment.

Popularity has not yet reached its peak.

but.

This was enough to make Cai Quan happy.

Due to the purchase of new episodes and the rise of the comics section, the number of registered users of ANF is increasing every day!

just now.

The scale of ANF has reached a point where even mainstream video websites cannot ignore it.

Cai Quan has been extremely excited in front of Tang Yao these days.

"..."

Tang Yao sent Cai Quan, who had brought her the good news, away again and shook her head helplessly.

Then pack up and prepare to go home.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon... The projects are progressing steadily, so she won't torture herself by working overtime.

After all, it's really pitiful to leave Xun alone.

just.

She had just packed her things and was ready to leave.

Li Xue hurried over, holding the manuscript for this issue. As soon as she reached her, she asked hurriedly, "Tang Yao! In this chapter! Makima died? Shot to death? This is the manuscript for the twenty-fifth day of the lunar year! You took a break for the New Year, and we released a manuscript like this? The readers will be furious!"

“…There’s nothing I can do.”

Tang Yao blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at her older sister who was in a hurry: "The plot ends here."

"Is she really dead, then?"

Li Xue was silent for a moment and asked.

Tang Yao thought for a moment, a bright smile appeared on her fair face, and then she said, "Guess?"

Say it.

Run away directly.

Li Xue: “!!!”
