Chapter 257: Chapter 241 Food Wars: Shokugeki no Somai
Lin Yuan had heard about the manga inside the three treasure boxes.
He certainly couldn’t rember the exact sales figures for each manga, but in his vague mory, the “Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma” he chose was a very influential manga.
It also seed to have high sales.
After all, it’s one of the famous gourt manga on Earth.
But this ti, it wasn’t about creating a new type of gourt manga.
The comic industry on Blue Star was well developed and had produced so popular gourt manga series long ago, but few people had created gourt comics in recent years.
Relatively niche, but not absolutely so.
All this was discovered by Lin Yuan during casual conversations with Luo Wei.
Compared to Lin Yuan, Luo Wei knew a lot about manga and ani.
The so-called hardcore shut-in girl, ani fanatic, modern fujoshi, that was Luo Wei.
Now that the manga was decided, Lin Yuan was considering how to serialize this manga…
First, establish a premise:
This manga must make money!
The “King of the Net” manga serializing in the tribe was more or less done out of love.
Since Lin Yuan was seriously short of prestige in drawing, he was willing to offer it for free to readers. Besides, the “King of the Net” manga didn’t cost anything, and he benefited from the System’s reford version of the novel. This ti, things were different.
After spending ten million on “Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma”, wouldn’t it be a loss if it didn’t make money?
Lin Yuan wouldn’t do unprofitable business.
Considering this, it’s a given that he intended to monetize this manga series. Thinking of this.
Lin Yuan read through “Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma” in a quantum reading manner and also learned the story behind the manga.
It turned out that “Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma” on Earth collapsed later on.
It was because this manga introduced the concept of abilities in the later period of serialization.
The concept of abilities was fatal to a gourt ani series.
The portrayal of those with abilities in the manga was just strong, the villain with inexplicable strength, powered by abilities.
When the ability-user defeats the protagonist, it’s due to his ability to use abilities at will, but when he’s finally defeated by the protagonist, it’s because of the inexplicable lineage he carries—
What the hell?
A good manga eventually pulled in the theory of lineage often used in battle ani, no wonder it was cut off.
However, this was also the deleterious result of the publisher forcibly interfering in the manga creator’s rhythm, the author only carried half the bla.
Interestingly enough.
“King of the Net” on Earth also ended up with aliens as enemies, leading to a complete collapse of the manga. It seems that every plot breakdown has a process of opening up new possibilities.
So, just like treating “King of the Net”.
The System categorized and integrated it, shortened the length of “Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma”, and kept the plot within a reasonable range.
Of course.
The length of the manga, inevitably, beca shorter as a result.
Considering Shadow’s reputation, Lin Yuan thought it would be a good option to finish before the collapse of the work.
Now Lin Yuan’s vision has beco a lot more long-term, he’s not only thinking about making money.
Take Chu Kuang for example. Isn’t it because his books have a good reputation, so many people are willing to buy his new books?
By the way.
There’s a little backstory about “Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma”.
The author of this manga was once a doujinshi artist. He later “went ashore”, so “Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma” has an elent of fan service, with characters experiencing clothes bursting after eating delicious food.
Applaud if you understand.
Lin Yuan didn’t plan to change this feature, if the original version could be accepted by the public, why should Lin Yuan forcibly cut off the reader’s benefit?
The next day, Lin Yuan arrived at the studio and uploaded the “King of the Net” content for the day. In front of Luo Wei, he brought out a few character designs he had completed the night before at ho.
“Who is this?”
Luo Wei saw the first drawing brought out by Lin Yuan. It was an ordinary red-haired boy in a blue-grey coat with a scar on his left eyebrow, looking very spirited.
“His na is Yukihira.”
Lin Yuan introduced, “He is the male lead of our next manga. His father is one of the best chefs on Blue Star, so his dream is to be one of the best chefs on Blue Star.”
“A gourt manga?”
Luo Wei understood instantly.
Lin Yuan nodded, revealing the second character, a girl in a black school uniform with a short skirt. Her blonde hair reached her waist and her expression was full of arrogance. Her figure was also top-notch. Just by looking at the character design, Luo Wei could infer the character’s personality. “The female lead?”
Luo Wei guessed.
Lin Yuan hesitated and nodded. This girl was more or less the female lead. “Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma” didn’t have much emotional drama. Among the two girls who had emotional entanglents with the protagonist, this one had a stronger presence.
Afterward.
Lin Yuan brought the other few important manga characters from the early stages to show Luo Wei. As Lin Yuan’s assistant, it was essential for her to familiarize herself with the characters before getting involved in the manga creation.
“What about the plot?”
The character designs that Lin Yuan brought out were okay. The overall style was quite popular and not too different from “King of the Net”, but there were indeed so slight differences in the details. Luo Wei was more concerned about the plot of the manga.
“The plot…”
Lin Yuan began, “The male protagonist, Yukihira, is a middle school student who runs a restaurant at ho. He targets his skilled chef father, practising his cooking skills every day, but one day, his father wants him to attend Totsuki Academy.”
“And what else?”
“Totsuki has a tradition called ‘Shokugeki’, which ans two chefs duel with each other through cooking. Accordingly, this ani will consist of many Shokugeki’ episodes, and of course, the protagonist can usually win.”
Luo Wei pondered.
Just by hearing Lin Yuan’s explanation, she didn’t have a very intuitive concept. The only feeling she had was that it was plain – a story where the protagonist constantly competes with others in cooking and keeps winning. Luo Wei had seen so gourt ani, and they all more or less followed this pattern. This was also the limitation of gourt works. If there were no cooking duels, just boasting about how delicious the protagonist’s cooking was would not attract readers for a long ti.
In the anti.
As “King of the Net” neared its conclusion, the comnt section in the Tribe platform was getting more lively. The comnt that Shadow was a nobody was just a joke in comparison to Chu Kuang and Xian Yu. These two were very successful in their respective fields, weren’t they?
Compared to them.
Shadow was a nobody.
But leaving those two aside, as the author of “King of the Net”, Shadow wasn’t really a nobody in the manga field. With a fanbase of tens of millions, he was a rising star in the manga circle who garnered considerable attention..
