My girlfriend is Kusunoko Saiki

And after reaching this point, the comics gradually began to contain more discussions about human nature and reflections on various issues.

Gradually, readers began to think about the issues that the comic characters were thinking about.

"As expected of Naoto-san, the popularity of Parasyte is growing continuously, and even the crows of the newly-married wife can't stand it anymore."

"Brother Naoto has always been very good. In fact, I knew it when he came to see me a few times before. Brother Naoto has never been in a hurry. He has been steadily laying the groundwork for each episode. The foreshadowing in the front is slowly coming to an end. It is precisely because of the foreshadowing in the front that the character creation in the back has such explosive power."

Gaoshang looked at the comic in his hand and felt that he had indeed learned a lot from Naoto.

The plot of the comics cannot be rushed, but requires multiple foreshadowings.

If I were a straight person, and my comics never got off the ground, I would probably have changed my strategy a long time ago.

But Naoto didn't do that and continued to create according to his own ideas.

This is something that the current highest level does not have.

The reason why Gou likes this comic so much is not only because it is very similar to his own style, but more because the way the male protagonist Izumi Shinichi and the female protagonist get along with each other is very similar to himself and Azuki.

Before Izumi Shinichi grew up, wasn't Souma also such a person?

"That's right. As far as the current plot is concerned, I don't know how the story will develop later. But it's precisely because of this that it's very interesting, isn't it?"

While the two were talking, after the update of the latest episode, posts about Parasyte and Naoto directly set off the entire Internet.

If I were to ask why, it’s probably because the title of this episode is - Kana’s Death.

Chapter 105: Teacher ONE, please behave yourself!

It's another weekend. Naoto, who lost his job, got up in the morning and picked up the phone on the bedside table. He planned to check his social media accounts out of boredom to see what the stupid netizens thought about the comics.

It’s just like online novels. Before the emergence of things like interstitial posts, writing novels was just like writing a stand-alone game. You had no idea how well you were writing, or whether what you wrote had any toxic points. You just started writing based on your intuition, and you had no idea if it would fail miserably in the end.

Moreover, things like interstitial posts can also help the author to copy... bah, get inspiration.

The same is true for drawing comics. Before the emergence of comic social platforms, comic authors could usually only know how they were doing from the letters readers sent to the editorial department, and the feedback they could get was very limited.

With the social platform, Zhiren can get a lot of inspiration from the silly netizens every time he updates his work. He can also find out the bad points from them in time and correct them accordingly.

Although we can’t say that we can believe all of it, it is still of some reference value.

When Zhiren opened his phone to take a closer look at the readers' discussion, he found that the entire forum seemed to have been completely occupied by someone, and all he could see was "verbal criticism" of him.

"What happened? Why do I feel like I exploded?"

Looking at the posts on the forum, Naoto's mind was full of question marks. Did he write a plot that was beyond belief? No way, could it be that the readers of this generation have such a poor tolerance?

Just when Naoto began to feel confused, suddenly, Kusunoki appeared beside Naoto's bed with a gloomy face, looking at her boyfriend with a bad expression.

"Naoto, what kind of plot are you drawing? Why do you want to hurt Kana?!"

"Huh? Nan Zi, what are you talking about? Wait, am I still asleep?"

Naoto looked at Nan Zi who appeared beside him and really felt that his brain was not enough.

Although there was no obvious difference between Kusunoko's expression at this moment and before, Naoto knew Kusunoko well enough to know that this expression must have been the result of a major blow.

Seeing Naoto's confused look, Nan Zi quickly regained her composure. Although her heart was still in turmoil, at least at this time, she would not hit Naoto in such a state of excitement.

"Kanako, you're not talking about this issue of the comics, are you?"

"What else? Do you know anyone named Kana?"

Well, Naoto probably understood that Kusunoko's big reaction was actually because of this issue of the comics, which was something he didn't expect. Wait, could it be that all the comments on the Internet are also about this?

When he thought of this possibility, Naoto decisively picked up his phone and started looking at it.

I found that this is almost what it means.

The character Kana is a very popular character in the story of "Parasyte".

At one point, its popularity even surpassed that of the heroine.

At the beginning, Kana just liked handsome boys, but when she met the male protagonist Izumi Shinichi, she couldn't help but become interested.

Kana is not an ordinary person. Her special ability allows her to sense the presence of parasites. Similarly, parasites can also sense Kana's presence.

Compared to the gentle Murano Misato, the lively and lovely Kana is even more popular, especially when Kana's special ability can help Izumi Shinichi, Kana even surpasses Misato and becomes the number one female character in this work.

In order to make Kana the real heroine and replace Misato, some people even set up a Misato fan club to try to make Naoto understand how much they care about Misato.

This kind of thing, in simple terms, is just a CP faction dispute. In fact, many comics have such situations, and there have even been successful cases.

Just like with Dead Fire, the Bleach animation team even took the lead in hyping up the CP and changed the roles of Rukia and Inoue.

Naruto even turned the previous heroine Sakura into the second female lead.

For Zhiren, these things naturally do not exist. After all, how could he change the plot because of some CP parties?

Especially since these people really underestimated straight people.

The tricks that had always worked for other authors in the past had no effect on Naoto this time.

The group of people who had caused the most trouble before never expected that Naoto would be so cruel and kill Kana directly.

When the protagonist appeared at Kana's funeral, readers' heads were buzzing.

No, even if you don't like this character, at least give him a normal ending? What does death mean?

A female character who is more popular than the heroine, and you just killed her like that?

All of a sudden, even his peers were a little confused about Naoto's approach. Only Naoto would dare to kill a popular character just for the sake of the plot.

If it were them, they would definitely not dare to do this, otherwise they would definitely die instantly.

It is precisely because of this that the various voices in the entire forum are so intense.

[ONE, you have no heart! Give me back Kana! ]

[ONE, you are a crocodile, right? Your blood is cold, right?! ]

[Oh my God, Mr. Naoto, although we know you are very powerful, please be a human being. Our little hearts can't bear it. You won't tell us that your real girlfriend will die later, right? ]

[You bastard Yamashita Naoto! Be careful! When I get back from vacation, I will definitely let you know why the flowers are so red! ]

[Eh? The guy upstairs is also from PK Academy? That’s great, remember to take me with you! I want to go too!]

[Wait, you guys are from PK Academy, don't you know that Naoto's girlfriend is so scary? The top guy in the club is only worthy of carrying shoes in front of the big sister? ]

[Wait, ONE teacher already has a girlfriend? No way? How can such a crazy person have a girlfriend? ]

[I just pray that the teacher's girlfriend can make him behave properly. If he keeps being stabbed, the child will become stupid.]

Looking at the comments about killing people in the forum, Naoto felt overwhelmed.

This is it? What about Xiaoyou's plot later? Damn, I haven't even used my ultimate yet and you all fell down? Am I experiencing the treatment of Araki and Crocodile?

“Naoto, what are you planning to do to Xiaoyou?

Naoto, who had just thought of this, suddenly seemed to remember that there was a Kusunoki around him.

Nan Zi, who had begun to calm down, changed his expression again and seemed even gloomier than before.

"Wait a minute Nanzi! Let me explain first! Suppress it!!!"

Afterwards, people within a ten-mile radius could hear the screams of a heartless author, which lasted for a long time.

Chapter 106: A Brief Discussion of Naoto's Comics and the Psychological Trauma He Suffered

When Eiji Niizuma got the latest popularity ranking, a few days had passed since this issue of the manga was released.

When he saw that the popularity of this issue of "Parasyte" was far ahead of his own work, in addition to excitement, he also felt a little relieved.

From the first few issues of Parasyte, Eiji Niizuma had a feeling that Naoto might catch up soon and reach the top again. But Eiji Niizuma didn't expect that this would happen so quickly.

However, after reading this comic, Eiji Niizuma was surprisingly not angry. Instead, he felt that it was because he was a straight person that he could achieve this.

To be honest, for Eiji Niizuma, killing a character is not something that is unacceptable.

In Eiji Niizuma's opinion, as long as a character completes his mission, then it is enough.

In the Parasyte comics, both the protagonist's mother and Kana have completed their missions.

One makes the male protagonist start to change completely, and the other makes him understand the horror of parasitic beasts, and teaches him to cherish the people around him and protect them well, allowing the male protagonist to grow further.

Because of the deaths of these two people, the character of Izumi Shinichi has grown more, and in this regard, the two did a very good job.

But at the same time, both of them are very popular, especially Kana, whose popularity is even higher than that of the heroine. Even Eiji Niizuma is reluctant to kill this popular character.

If previous authors were faced with such a character, they would at least make use of her several times, and it is not impossible that they would directly replace her with the heroine.

But Naoto turned such a popular character into a depth bomb and detonated it directly.

The explosive conflict caused directly ignited the enthusiasm of readers.

Not only did the popularity of the work not decline, but it increased further. Even after everyone thought that the male protagonist was going to kill parasites indiscriminately, it once again made everyone understand the horror of parasites.

These monsters, who have their own intelligence, are not lambs to be slaughtered.

Not creating for popularity, but creating for the story itself, this is the root of everything Naoto does now.

This suddenly gave Eiji Nizuma a new idea.

However, this group of writers admire Naoto, but readers have a different idea.

I didn't think so before, but since Parasyte has been updated more and more frequently, everyone has the same feeling that Naoto might have some serious illness and he won't feel comfortable unless he kills a few of his own characters.

There was even a post on the forum titled "A Brief Discussion on the Relationship between ONE's Comics and His Psychological Trauma", which received many likes and reposts.

The content of the post is roughly as follows:

As a loyal reader of Teacher ONE, after recently watching Teacher ONE's masterpiece again, I carefully studied the teacher's story and the content of his works, and found that a large part of them are closely related to the teacher's own psychological trauma.

As we all know, Mr. ONE is a very unusual cartoonist. He often incorporates some content from his own life into his comics.

For example, when the protagonist of the blood clan just became a vampire, he faced the homeless grandfather and grandson, and exposed the miserable life of the homeless.

I don’t know if you have noticed, but in the three works created by Teacher ONE, there will always be huge problems with the protagonist’s parents.

Whether it was the blood clan's male protagonist's parents dying in a car accident, or the Chinese Master's male protagonist's mother dying of illness, or the current male protagonist Izumi Shinichi's parents being attacked, no one was spared.

Even many people related to the protagonist will be affected.

And we all know that Teacher ONE's parents passed away just last year. The nature of his works also reveals that Teacher ONE has never been able to truly get rid of the death of his parents.

Hence the current situation.

So I boldly predict that someone will definitely die in the later plot, and even someone who is very important to the protagonist will die.

After this post was published, it immediately received recognition from many people.

Many people even think that the reason why Naoto is so good at writing knives is that he has not completely gotten over the death of his parents. This is a typical example of severe psychological trauma.

When Zhiren saw this post, he almost burst out in anger. How could he suddenly become a psychological trauma when he was fine? Isn't the imagination of netizens this generation too rich?

But he just couldn't refute it.

If I dare to speak online at this time, I will be attacked immediately.

And Zhiren didn't know what to say. He said he wouldn't kill anyone later. Was that credible? He didn't believe it for a long time.

All I can say is that the netizens who killed him knew him well enough.

But Naoto was wronged! He didn't want this to happen, but what else could he say?

When someone asks you why you are so good with a knife, what do you say? If you say you have no psychological trauma, doesn't that mean you are a psychopath? That sounds even worse.

"Anyway, the reputation is what it is anyway, so I might as well let myself go. If I had known earlier, I would have cursed Crocodile and Araki less. Now it's really miserable enough."

Naoto put down his paintbrush, feeling that he had a blockage in his heart and couldn't vent it.

I created a good work, but in the eyes of some stupid netizens, it turned out to be a disease.

"Since you think I'm sick, I'll send it to you to see! You bastards, you bunch of bastards, wait and see!"

With this in mind, Naoto broke the jar and his thoughts suddenly became clear.

At this moment, Naoto's right hand was like a fluttering butterfly, constantly falling on the drawing paper. This time, Naoto was determined to let those guys know what a real knife was.

What Naoto, who was concentrating on his creation, didn't know was that at this moment in Kusunoko's house, Kusunoko's mother was happily answering a phone call.

The other end of the phone line led directly to the British University of Cambridge.

"Huh? Nanko already has a boyfriend? And it's that Naoto guy? Hahahaha, these two actually got together, I really didn't expect this kind of thing. Okay, okay, I'll find time to come back. Don't worry, I'll send you souvenirs when the time comes."
