Started as a comics editor

Chapter 331 Confirming if he's gone mad
Just as Avalon's gaming division was making great strides.

While the new trailers for "Rogue" and "League of Legends" have sparked a new wave of excitement in the player community, the comics section of Avalon's other important platform, ANF, is filled with a completely different atmosphere, carrying a strong sense of impact and reluctance.

ANF ​​Comics, an online comic platform that rose rapidly thanks to Avalon's traffic support and Tang Yao's hard work, has amassed a large number of loyal users in a short period of time.

Among them, the one that undoubtedly carries the banner of platform traffic and word-of-mouth is the phenomenal work with an extremely unorthodox style and a completely unpredictable plot - "Chainsaw Man".

Even today, this work remains a masterpiece in the comic book genre.

This manga, from the bizarre premise of a debtor boy and a demonic heart dog at the beginning, to the gradual improvement of the Power arc, to the triumphant success of the Rese arc, and the complete madness of the Assassin arc... it seems like it's about to get out of control.

It's truly filled with iconic scenes and memorable lines... The wild and unrestrained imagination, the merciless torment of the characters, and the completely unpredictable plot twists have firmly gripped the readers' hearts, with each update accompanied by a huge amount of discussion.

While readers vehemently condemn the third-rate author as inhuman, they are also irresistibly drawn in by the series, immersing themselves in that bizarre world filled with bloodshed, absurdity, dark humor, and extreme innocence.

Today, this work that has stirred up the entire comic book world is finally coming to its final chapter.

Although all good things must come to an end.

Su Deqiang understood this principle, but he was still very reluctant to part with it.

After all, he was a long-time reader who had been following Chainsaw Man since its initial serialization on the ANF platform. At this moment, he was sitting in front of his computer, and the screen displayed a banner ad for the completion of Chainsaw Man on the ANF comics section.

He witnessed the first promotional advertisement for this comic here.

I have now witnessed the final advertisement for this comic.

It's truly heartbreaking.

Meanwhile, the comment section below was already flooded with messages such as "Congratulations on the completion," "When will my mental trauma as a third-rate teacher heal?", "I dare not click to read it," and "Where is the new work?"

Although we've reached the final chapter, the ending is already quite obvious.

But Su Deqiang still couldn't imagine how the wicked woman Maqima would lose... even the electricity was gone.

"call……"

Thinking of this, Su Deqiang took a deep breath and finally clicked on the penultimate episode.

That's right.

The final chapter will be updated twice.

As soon as the title of this episode appeared, Su Deqiang felt that something was wrong.

Because the title of this episode is—【Such a taste】.

In the same cemetery, after the dominant demon Machima and the chainsaw demon fought each other, the battle gradually subsided.

Machima won.

But then, Denji, who was supposed to be dead, stood up, picked up a chainsaw, and delivered the final blow to Machima.

It turns out that what was fighting all along wasn't Denji, but Pochita on his chest.

The Chainsaw Demon in its true form.

However, Machima, who was caught off guard and attacked, was unable to move, but seemed completely unconcerned about her condition. Instead, she calmly stated that such a trick could not kill her.

Denji seemed to be aware of this, stating that he never intended to kill Machima using such a trick.

He seems to have another way.

But the comic leaves that a mystery.

It wasn't said how Dianci planned to kill Machima.

The scene quickly changed.

Mr. Denji makes his appearance.

Then comes a long, quiet description of daily life in the city.

It seems that nothing has changed.

then……

"Ok?"

Next page.

Su Deqiang saw Dian Ci open the refrigerator and take out two lunch boxes, his movements as calm as if he were taking out a carton of milk.

Then, he confessed that even after that happened, he still loved Machima deep down.

They said they would bear the sins together.

He said he had a flash of inspiration and came up with a solution.

At the same time, they started cooking.

Denji walked to the kitchen counter. There were no close-ups, only his focused profile and skillful cooking movements.

Chopping vegetables, putting them in the pot, stir-frying... the scene was eerily calm.

Then a close-up of the dish finally appeared.

A plate of meat dish that looks tempting and is beautifully presented.

It was served with rice.

Dianci sat down at the dining table and picked up his chopsticks.

The attack was ineffective.

"Then all that's needed is for Machima and me... to become one."

Denji recited these lines while starting to eat.

It was a very detailed description; he ate a bite of rice and a bite of vegetables with a satisfied and nostalgic expression.

They ate with utmost seriousness and composure.

Then the last page.

So this is what macchiato tastes like...

"????????"

Su Deqiang stared at the screen. Although he was mentally prepared as the plot progressed, his pupils still dilated instantly when he saw this scene.

I was utterly shocked!!
No! What the heck?! Two become one?! In a physical sense?! Eat it?!

How can someone kill like this?
Is this reasonable???

He quickly clicked on the next episode.

then.

Su Deqiang was so angry he laughed...

Because the next episode starts with a description of the dishes...

It's even a color brochure! Accompanied by text descriptions like those from a high-end restaurant menu! It tells the readers...

What exactly did Machima turn into?!

"No... third-rate teacher... are you... even human?!"

Su Deqiang was stunned.

After a while.

He had just recovered, his feelings were extremely complicated. He felt physically uncomfortable, but at the same time, a huge, absurdly funny feeling was stuck in his chest, making his expression distorted, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
He really didn't expect it.

It's finally over.

Even a third-rate teacher can come up with something like this.

He slumped back in his chair, his mind uncontrollably flashing through many famous scenes from the Chainsaw Man serialization.

The death of Reese is wonderful, Machima's corpse is talking, Santa Claus doesn't understand anything, that's great, I'm gradually understanding everything, and Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, and snowball fights...

Fuck!
All of a sudden!
Su Deqiang realized that he couldn't remember everything at all!
And now we need to add another iconic scene: stir-fried macchiato with onions...

"Really are……"

Su Deqiang looked at the screen, cursed, and then couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing. All along, the third-rate teacher had been using her sharp, chainsaw-like pen to tear apart the familiar shonen manga tropes that Su Deqiang was familiar with.

There are no passionate bonds that save everything, and no fairy tales where justice inevitably triumphs over evil.

Only naked desire, twisted emotions, and the cruel crushing force of unpredictable fate.

The characters struggle and perish on the absurd stage like marionettes, yet they possess a strange vitality.

Su Deqiang thought that after experiencing so much, his nerves had been tempered tough enough to calmly accept any outcome—even if Dianci and Machima perished together, or if the world was completely destroyed.

But he never expected that what awaited him in the end was such an extremely absurd, extremely distorted, yet strangely perfect feast!
Denji and Machima finally merged into one.

Physical.

Don't tell me.

It was both unexpected and perfectly logical. "What a genius!"

After an unknown amount of time, Su Deqiang finally let out a long, deep breath.

It was filled with a deep sense of helplessness and a touch of bewilderment after the comic unfolded.

However, despite being utterly bewildered by the story, and despite the ending being a cult classic of the level of mental pollution, Su Deqiang had to admit that this was "Chainsaw Man," and this was a third-rate teacher.

He never catered to anyone's expectations; he simply used the purest and wildest strokes to depict the bizarre, cruel, and real world in his mind.

This uncompromising, unorthodox spirit is precisely what makes Chainsaw Man so unique, giving it a captivating yet hateful charm.

He opened the comments section... and sure enough, it was already buzzing with activity.

"I was wrong! I was so wrong! I shouldn't have clicked on this comic in the first place! I shouldn't have believed that the bastard who said 'Yay!' could have a normal ending!!! Merging into one? Physical digestion? And there's even a recipe?! Third-rate author!! My stomach and my sanity are churning like crazy!!!"

"P-wah!!! You died such a horrible death!!! In the end, even the wicked woman... she became food?! Denji, you... you... (incoherently) You third-rate old thief, you're not human! Give me back P-wah! Give me back my normal values!! (flips table.jpg)"

"I gradually understood everything...bullshit!!!"

"Analyzing it calmly, putting aside any slight discomfort... this ending is simply fucking genius! The demon that was dominating was resolved by the most primal desires, and it even carries a touch of naive cruelty and dark humor! Third-rate teacher, as expected of you! You completed the most wicked loop with the most wicked pen!"

"Genius! A third-rate teacher is truly a genius!"

"Aaaaah, what are you doing, third-rate teacher?!"

"New work! New work, hurry up! I can't wait to see what new tricks this third-rate teacher can come up with!!"

"..."

The comments section was a chaotic mix of shock, mockery, laughter, and adoration for the third-rate teacher's wild imagination, creating a grand online carnival.

then.

leftover.

I'm really looking forward to it.

Very, very high expectations.

Readers are now eagerly anticipating a new work from a third-rate author.

After all, the Chainsaw Man comic is truly eye-opening from beginning to end. Who else but a third-rate artist could draw a comic like this? This unorthodox style is unique and unparalleled!

So after the huge shock came an even stronger surge of boundless anticipation for this third-rate teacher's next work—what new tricks could he come up with? How could he possibly push the boundaries of readers' imagination and tolerance?
but.

They were destined to be disappointed.

We're likely to be disappointed, at least in the short term.

Just as the comic book community was buzzing with excitement over the end of Chainsaw Man.

The person who drew the comic remained quite calm.

Because the final chapter... had already been drawn long ago.

The home of the two sisters.

inside the room.

Because she was at home, Tang Yao was quite casual, wearing a cool tank top and hot pants, revealing a large expanse of fair skin and a pair of beautiful, snow-white legs. She curled up on the beanbag chair without any regard for her image, her delicate white fingertips swiping across the phone screen.

On the screen were some of the dark secrets that Tang Xun had discovered.

of course.

Tang Yao wasn't trying to learn anything; she just wanted to appreciate it and see how other artists understood this area.

And to be honest, you can't learn anything from it.

after all.

She had seen most of the pictures in there.

and so.

Tang Yao slightly raised her snow-white chin and looked at the laptop next to her. There was a website similar to Pixiv here... Thinking of this, she glanced at the door with a guilty conscience and quietly got up.

But that's it.

"boom!"

The door to the room was suddenly and forcefully pushed open!

Tang Yao was so startled that she almost threw her phone away.

She hurriedly and clumsily turned off the screen, a suspicious blush instantly spreading across her face.

Wearing loose loungewear, Tang Xun exuded confidence and strode over to Tang Yao, who was curled up on a beanbag chair.

The girl's pretty face was tense, her brows furrowed. Her usual aloof and distant demeanor was now replaced by a complex mix of shock, worry, and a strong sense of 'Has my sister lost her mind?'

then.

Ignoring her sister's little trick of hiding her phone, she reached out and, amidst Tang Yao's exclamation of "Hey, hey, what are you doing?!", her icy little hand slapped firmly onto Tang Yao's smooth, full forehead!
The movements are crisp and clean.

"You don't have a fever..."

Tang Xun muttered to herself, the temperature from her fingertips was normal, and her brows furrowed even more.

then.

She knelt in front of her sister, as if trying to lift her sister's eyelids to take a look.

"Kaoru!"

Tang Yao finally realized what was happening, and, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, she recovered from her shock and gently pushed her sister's hand away: "What are you doing?"

Simultaneously.

She subconsciously shoved her phone further behind her back.

"comics."

Tang Xun ignored her sister's little actions, her gaze fixed on Tang Yao's beautiful face.

Tang Yao suddenly realized what was going on, and ruffled Tang Xun's hair in an annoyed tone, saying, "Creation is creation! Why are you bothering me if you're not satisfied with the comic's plot? Besides, I'm your older sister, not a third-rate teacher!"

Tang Xun knelt in front of her sister and rolled her eyes slightly.

She knew her sister's online persona.

"And aren't you used to it? The manga has been serialized for so long, this is how it's supposed to unfold!"

Tang Yao thought for a moment, shrugged, and added, "Isn't it a bit late to pull this now that it's over?" The movement caused the thin strap of her tank top to slip down a little, revealing her round, fair shoulders. She didn't seem to care at all: "Isn't it a bit late to do this now that it's over?"

"But I'm worried about your mental state."

Tang Xun recalled the comic... and it seemed to be true.

"Don't worry, after this comic ends, you may not be able to see a comic like this for a long time."

Tang Yao removed her hand from her younger sister's head and casually said, "But to be honest, you're making a big fuss over nothing. It's just artistic creation..."

"Ok?"

Tang Xun was slightly taken aback, completely ignoring her sister's next words. Her cool eyes held a hint of confusion: "Sister...aren't you going to paint anymore?"

"I'm not drawing for now; I plan to take a good rest for a while."

Tang Yao hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "You can think of it as the story has been drawn enough for now, it's been squeezed dry, and it needs... to settle down."

Tang Xun realized something: "The game..."

"Ah."

Tang Yao nodded again and chuckled, "I'll put it aside for now. I'll get everything sorted out in a while, and then I can spend the last holiday with you."

"..."

Tang Xun pursed her moist cherry lips, and after a moment of silence, said, "If it's because of me..."

"It's not entirely for you; my sister also wants to rest."

Tang Yao immediately realized that Tang Xun had misunderstood, and laughed, "Don't think nonsense. Even I want to slack off sometimes. I've picked out a lot of places I want to go. By the way, take a look and see if there's anywhere you want to go. We can go first while you're on vacation."

Talking and talking.

Tang Yao thought of something and subconsciously picked up her phone, which was still hidden behind her back, and unconsciously swiped her finger across the screen to unlock it.

The screen lights up——

Tang Xun's gaze happened to sweep over them.

On the screen was a beautifully drawn, brightly colored... lily picture.

The beautiful young woman's intimate pose and enchanting atmosphere made the scene just as impactful as the Machima recipe from before.

The air froze instantly.
