Started as a comics editor

Chapter 127 Huh?
In fact, most of the website’s veteran users are aware of AnimationFan’s previous situation.

Not too great.

Because before the website was acquired, the webmaster Cai Quan would come out to complain to users almost every day, saying that the server was too expensive, maintenance was too difficult, no one was investing, and he couldn't review all the manuscripts.

Anyway, except for the flag 'I will never charge users a penny until I die', everything else has been said.

Moreover, most users can actually tell from the website’s operating status that the website’s operation is not going well.

Because a month before Tang Yao decided to acquire the website, Cai Quan had no way to continue and secretly took on advertisements for adult products.

Although this thing is not illegal.

But any decent website would not accept this kind of thing.

And it’s on the homepage...

but.

Just when many users thought the website was going to be destroyed.

Cai Quan, the webmaster who complained every day, suddenly shook off his previous slump and stopped complaining. Instead, he started playing the emotional card, mainly looking back on the road he had come, talking about how hard it had been to build the website, and then looking forward to the future, saying that the website would get better in the future.

It no longer looks like it’s going to go bankrupt at any time.

Instead, it feels like... being kept.

This sudden change, perhaps he sold himself? Maybe he received a large sum of money?
Many old users of the AnimationFan website have made similar guesses.

later.

Cai Quan indeed announced the news that the website was about to be revised, and let all users confirm that they were indeed making a lot of money.

Since someone has invested money, the website will definitely develop in the direction of commercialization.

This is inevitable.

Otherwise, why invest money? Capital has no good intentions...

In fact, users all know that the long-term development of video websites definitely requires commercial support, otherwise they will be finished sooner or later.

Moreover, the experience of AnimationFan has been getting worse recently, with various bugs popping up one after another... Therefore, most users still support the website's revision. However, in addition to support, many old users also have some concerns. After all, many niche things have become unrecognizable after commercialization.

What old users are most worried about is that after AnimationFan is revised, the attributes of the entire website will change, and it will no longer serve the two-dimensional world and will no longer focus on two-dimensional content.

Because Cai Quan mentioned that no one is willing to invest in serving the single group of the two-dimensional world.

Now that someone has invested, does that mean they'll be involved in the site's operations? Will AnimationFan no longer be associated with the anime?

of course.

In fact, generally speaking, there are very few people who think this way. The vast majority of users don’t care about this at all, and they don’t even know that the website is going to be revamped. After all, most users come to anf to watch videos, and who has time to pay attention to what the webmaster says every day.

But it's a coincidence.

On the day the new version of the website was launched, among the people who were waiting in front of their computers for the launch of the new version of the website, there was a user who thought this way.

His name is Zhu Mao, but he is different from those old users who are worried that their "little world" will change.

how to say.

He was in a state of conflicting hope for ANF to change and for ANF to improve. On the one hand, he had feelings for the site, as he was one of its oldest users. But on the other hand… ANF had been plagued by problems recently, even being inaccessible for over two weeks. He'd had enough, so he created a new site modeled after ANF…

It’s not that I’m optimistic about similar websites being able to make money, but I mainly hate that they don’t strive for it. Cai Quan is really a loser!

How can a good website be run like this?
Even tying up a dog shouldn't lead to such a situation, right?

He cursed like this at the beginning, and a user saw it and was probably angry, so he shouted, "It's as if running a website is easy, if you can do it, then do it."

And then he really did it.

But his website is almost ready.

Suddenly, Cai Quan announced that the website would be revamped...

So his mood was very complicated at the moment.

No.

Dude, did you do this on purpose?
He now doesn't know whether he should launch his own website... because he had previously planned to wait until ANF became a little worse before launching his own website openly.

"You'd better change it beyond recognition." Zhu Mao refreshed the page, feeling a little conflicted. "A company willing to invest in you must not be compatible, right? There must be some requirements, right? Two-dimensional..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

At this moment, the page froze.

Then, the new version of the website loaded.

Zhu Mao looked over, but as soon as he saw the homepage clearly, he was stunned.

At the top of the new ANF website homepage, there was a banner advertisement... and he was very familiar with the person on it!

Saber, Mashu, Gilgamesh...

Aside from the two beautiful girls wearing black stockings next to them, aren't the others all characters from "Fate/Grand Order"!?
what?
The money invested by the producers behind this game! ?

He scrolled down in disbelief, looking at the brand new, clean and refreshing homepage that was completely different from before... He was a little confused.

Don't they make games?
Why?

Even though they're also making an 2D game, they just made the game! Why are they investing in such a crappy website? What's their plan?

With this thought in mind, he temporarily closed the guide that appeared on the new version of the website and tried clicking on the banner ad.

The page jumps immediately.

The ANFxFGO linkage page appears.

The huge main game view was in the center, but it was different from the official game website. There were many heroes that Zhu Mao had never seen before... but what remained consistent was the extremely high degree of completion and exquisiteness.

And not just one!
There are three rotating images! And there is an introduction below each main view!

"A new chapter in the main game! The Age of Discovery! The third singularity! Blockade the four seas in the finale!"

"Christmas Event! Limited Servant! Altria [Christmas Alter]!"

"New content for the observation line in 'Fate/stay night'! A formidable swordsman! But his job title is Assassin!?"

As an old 2D fan, Zhu Mao has of course played "Fate/Grand Order".

Not only did he play it, he loved it!

So as soon as he saw this page, he was overwhelmed by the dense information.

A third singularity? A Christmas version of Saber? Is a sequel to "Fate/stay night" coming?
what?
These are all eye-catching slogans, coupled with beautiful promotional pictures... they are really attractive.

Even if you have never played this game, as long as you are an old 2D fan, you will probably be unable to resist clicking in to take a look when you see these things, right?

As he thought about it, he clicked on the promotional picture on the page.

The page jumps again.

This time it is a video page, and the up master who posted the video is named Avalon, and there is a small blue label below.

As soon as you open the video, dense barrage of comments pours out.

[Holy crap! I can actually see a game trailer on ANF? Is this official!?]

[No! You invested in the website? Well done! !]

[Handsome!! Mashu is so handsome!]

【expect! ! !]

[The new version is coming soon!! I can’t wait to see the sequel to “Fate/stay night”! ]

【…】

Zhu Mao was stunned by the dense and chaotic barrage of comments.

...So many players!?

Holy shit, how long has it been online?
So everyone is like me, clicking on the banner ad on the homepage right away?
No wonder... no wonder!
this moment.

Zhu Mao suddenly reacted and vaguely guessed why the producer behind "Fate/Grand Order" would acquire this website.
