Tokyo: Earth Online Manga Artist.

Some people noticed the foreshadowing in Eri Aragaki's storyline, some were seriously analyzing her plot, and there were also quite a few critical comments. Some complained that the art style was too dark, some complained that the pacing of the plot was too slow, and some complained that the characters died too casually...

Ultimately, the online atmosphere in this era isn't as toxic. There are relatively few instances of people giving negative reviews just for the sake of giving them, or online trolls deliberately finding fault to stand out.

Most of the criticisms seem to have been written after carefully reading the comic, rather than just being verbally abusive.

Natsume Akane put down her water glass, looked at the comments on the screen, and said, "It seems that everyone still likes Attack on Titan quite a bit."

Ayane Takeda nodded vigorously, her face filled with shared pride, and said, "Of course! Senpai's manga is really good!"

Eri Aragaki felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.

She was really overwhelmed by such direct praise.

No matter how exaggerated the praise is online, Eri Aragaki doesn't think much of it; on the contrary, she'll read it over and over again.

This kind of direct praise triggered her social anxiety; her ears started to burn, and she didn't know where to put her hand holding the mouse.

She quickly scrolled down the screen, pretending to read a new post, and changed the subject, saying, "Okay, anyway, as long as someone likes our comics, that's fine."

But then she suddenly remembered something.

Given the current situation, I wonder if the news has already reached the country on the other side of the sea.

Although in theory, even if there were, they should be localized rather than the original, Eri Aragaki is well aware of how vast the domestic market is in the future.

Moreover, as we all know, domestic readers have always been the most active, and the profoundness of Chinese culture has led to a great deal of activity among netizens.

Those silly pictures, memes, joke-style reviews, and dry humor-style character analyses are completely different from the serious and methodical discussions on the Japanese side.

Having grown accustomed to the usual praise or troll comments on Japanese forums, Eri Aragaki gradually found them rather uninteresting.

The discussion style here is too formal; praise is praise, criticism is criticism, and even the use of memes is done very cautiously.

She began to miss the feeling of browsing online forums and message boards in her past life. When she clicked on a post, the first few pages were serious analyses, the last few were full of memes, and in between were all sorts of outrageous speculations and even more outrageous fan creations.

How about... going back to China for a visit?

But the key is how to access the domestic network.

She didn't have many tools at hand. Cross-border internet access in those days wasn't as convenient as it is now; she needed a springboard to connect to a server across the sea.

Most free tools online are unstable, and many are phishing scams.

But then she suddenly looked at Ayane Takeda beside her.

Ayane Takeda was engrossed in watching a post on the screen analyzing Marco's cause of death, completely unaware of Eri Aragaki's gaze.

Eri Aragaki thought for a moment and then asked, "Ayane, do you have any VPN tools or something?"

"Senior, would you like a VPN tool?"

Ayane Takeda turned around, paused for a moment, and asked, "What are you going to do...?"

Eri Aragaki thought about it and felt there was nothing to hide.

"Okay, actually I wanted to check out the network on the Republic's side."

She immediately stated it directly.

Takeda Ayane blinked. "Ah... I don't have a VPN tool readily available, but I should be able to find one when I go back. The seniors in the computer science department at our school often use some tools to access foreign technical forums."

Eri Aragaki smiled and said, "Then thank you very much, Ayane."

"You're welcome, senior."

She went surfing for a while with Natsume Akane, Takeda Ayane, and Erina.

I browsed through the fan art section and found that some people were copying the cover of Attack on Titan, some were drawing portraits of Mikasa, and there was also a close-up of Eren's Titan holding a boulder, which was quite well done.

Then she glanced at the time in the bottom right corner of the screen; it was almost time to prepare dinner.

Eri Aragaki waved her hand and said, "Let's go out and buy some ingredients to make dinner."

……

After a sumptuous dinner.

The four girls chatted for a while longer, and then Natsume Akane and Takeda Ayane went home.

After Erina finished cleaning up the dishes, she went to study as well.

She will also be preparing to apply to university next year, which is still very important. At least in this era, a degree is still useful, so her studies cannot be neglected.

She spread her textbooks and reference books on the low table in the living room, put on her headphones, and started working on her problems.

Only Eri Aragaki, carrying a large bottle filled with iced tea and a large plate of snacks, entered the studio.

This also has a bit of a David Day influence on it.

But she was forced to do this out of desperation.

Because she discovered that while the Super Creation ability was useful, this ultimate move consumed a lot of physical strength, or rather, energy.

This is quite normal, considering that the brain is the organ that consumes the most energy in humans. This little thing usually only accounts for 2% to 3% of the body weight, but its energy consumption can reach an astonishing quarter.

Every time Eri Aragaki uses Super Creation, she feels completely exhausted and very hungry.

From this, she can roughly deduce that the mechanism of the ultimate skill of super creation is probably to forcibly increase the brain's energy consumption, while also incorporating an enhancement of imagination, which is similar to the computing power of a computer.

In short, while it's easy to use, it consumes a huge amount of resources.

This forces Eri Aragaki to eat a lot to maintain her body's energy consumption.

The advantage is... that's her secret to eating whatever she wants without gaining weight.

This was something that Ayane Takeda was quite envious of. The four girls had been eating and drinking together and often went shopping together during this time.

As a result... after a month, she was the only one who gained weight.

She could understand Erina and Natsume Akane. Although Erina enjoyed the food with them, she didn't eat much. Often, she couldn't finish the food and her older sister, Aragaki Eri, had to help her finish it.

Natsume Akane...

She runs every day. Once, when I visited her rented room, I could see sandbags hanging inside and a lot of dumbbells...

This is enough to prove that although she looks thin, she is actually a fit and athletic woman.

But Aragaki Eri made Takeda Ayane truly envious, because Aragaki Eri really seemed to rarely exercise, and she ate quite a lot, even more than Takeda Ayane.

But Eri Aragaki isn't fat; in fact, she's gotten a little thinner.

That's why Eri Aragaki doesn't gain weight but instead loses it.

But there are downsides to this too, the downside is... she has to eat like crazy, and she still has to eat a lot of high-fat, high-calorie foods.

But she wasn't David Day in her past life, and her body in this life is clearly not that of a heavyweight. So, she definitely can't handle eating so much all at once; she can't eat that much food.

So she actually lost weight during this period, and if she continues to use this ability several more times a week, she'll probably turn into a dried-up corpse very soon.

But unfortunately, the ability to create super content is really useful.
