【Jiu Ci】It's all true love, don't compare

Ibaraki came out of the bathroom, wiped his hair with a towel in one hand, and took a look at his phone with the other.

no update.

Passerby's wife is on the third day of her break, and I miss her.

There are a lot of private messages accumulated, all from that little fan, Ibaraki sat on the sofa, opened the message bar and read each one, the main idea is no surprise to remind you to update.

He was thinking about whether to close the window directly, and the little fan immediately sent another message: Ma'am, are you online?

Now that he couldn't get away with it, Ibaraki began to hate the function of showing whether the private message has been read or not in this software.

He patted his face and decided to take back the initiative.

"Driving without a license: Come up to eat food, not update."

"(?_?): Why not update it? There are many people who like that picture waiting."

"Driving without a license: Is it? I don't think so, I'll draw something else anyway."

"(?_?): ... I really like that one."

"Driving without a license: Really, I didn't see you leave a message, with so many likes, I can't see it."

"(?_?):..."

"Driving Without a License: What?"

"(?_?):...I usually don't leave messages, for fear of hurting your feelings."

Izuku narrowed his eyes.

"Driving without a license: what kind of injury law, tell me."

"(?_?):...You promise not to get angry and delete the picture?"

"Driving without a license: Brother is not that vulnerable, you say, I listen."

"(?_?): Then I'll be blunt. I think your manga has great graphics and storyboards, but the story is a bit problematic."

"(?_?): Your time is set after the original emperor sent troops to attack Dajiangshan for the first time, right? I can see that in the book, Shuten was slashed on his chest during that battle, almost hurting his vitals. After returning back, Ibaraki treated his wound, and the two of them had a scene of being alone together, and drank alcohol. Ibaraki persuaded Jiuten to say that drinking is not good for the wound, but Liquor refused to listen, and finally Ibaraki drank with him."

Ibaraki was a bit surprised, he did choose this scene, but only drew the part drinking together, the only information is that under the open collar of the ghost king, the edge of the gauze stained with blood is exposed, and there are too many scenes of drinking together in the original work So far, no one has guessed the source of this picture.

"Driving without a license: yes, it shows."

"(?_?): Then your lines, and the expressions of the characters, feel a bit too wild, it doesn't seem like you have just experienced the feeling of life and death."

"Driving without a licence: But that's how they've always been."

"(?_?): That's right, but no matter how unrestrained the character is, they are still human beings with flesh and blood. In the original work, the war cost them one-third of their troops. From here on, Shuten has seen clearly In view of the huge disparity between their strength and the royal army, their retreat is nothing more than a matter of time. As the leader, he has the responsibility to lead the troops to defend their homeland, but he also shoulders the lives of the troops, so Jiu Tun's mood here is very complicated. He was thinking about how to take the next step, and he himself had no intention of retreating from the beginning, and his behavior of drinking regardless of his body just reflected this."

"(?_?): Then Ibaraki is very concerned about the general. Anyway, Shuten has never listened to him, and he is used to it. But at this time, his heart is also very heavy. You know, he followed Jiuten, Because of Jiuten's strength, this is the first time Jiuten has been injured like this in front of him in so many years. This is a shock to him. He will find that Jiuten is not omnipotent, but years of loyalty and affection make him I don't want to face this, but I have to force myself to comfort Jiuten. So his state is similar to Jiuten's."

"(?_?): So, I think your form of expression is a bit unrestrained, not very suitable for the situation at the time. They are very proud, but everything with a heart has fear. The more affectionate a person is, the more That's right, it's nothing out of the ordinary."

"(?_?):... Ma'am? Ma'am, are you still watching?"

"(?_?):...Sorry, I said too much...Of course, there is no need to be too serious about being a fan, I just made a suggestion, you don't need to pay too much attention to it."

"(?_?):...Madam, please say something..."

Ibaraki didn't care about replying, pulled out the corresponding volume, and re-read the conversation, the more I read it, the more I felt that the little fan's analysis was in place.

He put down the book, thought for a while, and then picked up the phone again.

"Driving without a license: I'm back, I just went to read a book."

"Driving without a license: I figured out why you didn't comment...you might as well not comment."

"(?_?):……………"

"Driving without a license: But you are quite right, I may have too much fan filter. You have a deep understanding of the original work."

"(?_?): It's just average...don't worry about it."

"Driving without a license: no pain, no pain, I don't think I can't accept this opinion."

After sending the message, Ibaraki went back and read the conversation again. I just felt that the fans of this book are really strong. Even a small fan who eats food is so insightful. How can he lag behind others with his output?

He stood up, added mouse food and water to Qiuqiu, made another pot of coffee, took a whole set of books off the shelf, and opened the first volume.

------------------

"Driving without a license: Alright, I'm off to work. Consider redrawing this line. If you have any new ideas, I'll discuss it with you."

Jiu Tun put down his phone and lay down on the back of the chair with complicated emotions.

He accidentally talked too much.Fortunately, this painter looked nervous, and he was surprisingly good at communicating. He seemed to be a lovely person.If it were someone else who was criticized so badly for the core idea ooc of his work, he might have already had a glass heart attack, and if he didn't hang him up, he would be scolded to death.

When it comes to his own son, it is normal to be unable to control it, and this is also one of the author's common problems.

The birth of this novel originated from a gamble.

Jiu Tun used to write literary swords with a slant edge, he liked to upset themes, but he refused to cater to the tastes of readers, so his works were always lukewarm.His editor, Big Tengu, hates iron but not steel. If there is nothing to do, he will send the whole group's subscription data statistics, and Jiu Tun is basically at the bottom.

Jiu Tun himself doesn't really care about this, he doesn't rely on his writing income to make a living, if he can't write as he pleases, what's the point?Therefore, it has always been a head-on confrontation with the big tengu, and no one is willing to admit defeat.After a long time, almost every time the two met, they would start with a cold snort and end with a cold snort.

"Hmph, I don't expect Jiu Tun anymore. Whenever he sells more than one million, I can climb twenty flights of stairs with Boya on my back."

At one annual meeting, when the authors were talking about their goals for the new year, Ootengu said this coldly.

A group of editors and authors burst out laughing, booing and asking Jiu Tun to accept the gamble.Jiu Tun looked at Ootengu's body, recalled his small figure in his impression, and became interested.

"Okay, the next new book, let's wait and see."

Arakawa immediately pulled the table full of people to open the plate lively. Minamoto Hiroya came to this table and joined in, betting directly on Shuten. Otengu was so angry with him that he didn't bother to say anything, so he sat down and drank up.

"Wine swallows a new book, what subject do you want to write about?"

Laughing enough, Gu Huo Niao asked him.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I plan to write something different from before."

"I think you might as well write a monster story." Yan Mo leaned lazily in his chair, with the same imposing manner as a ruler. "At your level, even if you don't become popular, you won't hit the streets."

"This is pretty good, isn't it?" Arakawa laughed maliciously, "How about Shuten, to write a romantic love song about people and monsters in the Heian era?"

"Fuck you. Write it yourself." Jiu Tun punched him on the shoulder.

The annual meeting ended amidst laughter, and Jiu Tun went to the parking lot with the wig that was forced on while playing games. It was windy late at night, and the strangely shaped wig swayed back and forth in the wind, and the shadows on the ground seemed to come alive, as if a A monster with a head covered in tentacles.

At that moment, an idea took shape in Jiu Tun's mind.

He decided to create his next book based on the source of his own name—the legend of Shuten Doji, a great monster.

Looking at the data is the first step.

Although the story of Shuten Doji is widely known, there are not many reference materials. The legends of gods and monsters are always full of routines and full of loopholes. There are many different versions of records in various places just about the place of birth and childhood experience. There are many detailed descriptions of treatment in "Caozi", presumably the author has given full play to his imagination.

The more I read, the more I was sure that Shuten was almost certain that the historical legend of Shuten-douji was just another glorified version of a struggle between the central and local forces.For some reason, an image of a tall aborigine leader with a strange face appeared in his mind.

At this point, he was finally able to determine what kind of story this would be.

After learning of his thoughts, Ootengu was also very surprised. He didn't understand how the good monster story turned into a serious historical novel, but he had long been used to Shuten not playing cards according to the routine, and although the Heian era Known as the coexistence of humans and ghosts, behind the legends of ghosts and gods is often the conflict of interests between human beings, and he himself is very interested in this kind of subject matter.So he just asked Shuten: "When are you going to start the serialization?"

"Let's write it first, I don't know if it can be formed yet." Jiu Tun replied.

... Also, which author doesn't cheat a few articles, and no one knows what will happen until they finish writing.

Ootengu has always been meticulous in his work, and quickly finalized the background and basic framework of the story with Jiu Tun, and provided a lot of historical materials wholeheartedly.At that time, none of them thought that this novel made Jiu Tun jump from the bottom of the group to the top of the list, and he really gained both fame and fortune.

The book became popular, the bet was won, and the big tengu also fulfilled his promise and climbed twenty floors behind Yuan Boya's back—Yuan Boya's feet were always on the ground, although he himself always emphasized that this was involuntary release, or Please pay out of your own pocket for everyone present to eat buffet.

All are happy.

Jiu Tun always felt that something was not right.

He wrote books before, no matter what kind of story, he didn't mix too much personal emotional drama, and was ridiculed by readers as a "straight man's literary style and emotional novice". I feel that the characters have deviated from the direction he originally set, and gradually there are a lot of hidden dialogues and inner monologues.This is not a big deal, the characters can move freely, which shows that the human design is relatively three-dimensional-but it is a big deal if they can't turn back.He wrote, deleted, and deleted, but he still couldn't balance the proportions, so he finally decided to resign himself to fate, and if he couldn't do it, he would cheat.

Unexpectedly, starting from here, the popularity of the work gradually increased, and some readers even secretly picked up the cp of the protagonist and the second-in-command——Shuten is not really that old-fashioned, he is also a Two-dimensional station, how much understand Why do readers fall in love with this pair.This made him even more puzzled, why the simple friendship in the initial setting developed to the point where even he himself felt subtle.

After much deliberation, he took a leave of absence from the company, stayed at home in the name of taking a break, and began to reflect on the relationship between the characters in his writing.

...In short, let's start with the same humanities.

Shuten was deeply proud of his strategy, but this pride did not last long, and he once again verified a rule: there are as many Hamlets as there are readers.Most of the characterizations in those articles were great, but they were all different from his own feelings.

Well, why not write one yourself?

Shuten was taken aback by the thought that popped into his head.Then he seriously thought about the time for a bottle of wine, and felt that it was not too bad, just enough to write those side stories that didn't take shape.

——So it became what it is now.There are nearly [-] to [-] articles written, and the relationship between the characters is still as subtle as in this article.

His reflection hit a bottleneck.

Jiu Tun sat for a while, and there was another creaking sound behind him.

He got up irritably to look at the cage, and as soon as he got to the cage, the sound stopped.

He returned to the workbench, and just opened the new project file sent by the big tengu, the creaking sound rang out again, piercing through his ears straight into his head.

That hamster has somehow been grinding his teeth since he woke up this morning.He consulted in the forum, but everyone had different opinions. After thinking about it, he still sent a message to the man he met downstairs yesterday:

Sorry to bother you, my hamster started grinding his teeth, I don't know if it's okay?

The other party has not responded.

Jiu Tun listened to the noise with a headache, and finally just sat down next to the cage with his laptop in his arms.The sound finally stopped temporarily.

Sure enough, asking for help from a stranger I just met not long ago is still too strange.

But the man looked very friendly, probably because of the relationship with reading a book.He also has such a name. When they exchanged names yesterday, the two of them were obviously taken aback.Jiu Tun originally thought that his parents' standards were amazing enough, but when a corresponding name really appeared in front of him, he felt a sense of relief.

Jiu Tunwan rationally believes that the other party likes the book, it should be because of Ibaraki who has the same name as him in the book, after all, he is really a likable character, simple and sincere, and his brains and combat power are not inferior to him to follow ghost king.

——He even dyed his hair white, the same color as Ibaraki in the book.

...Although as a book fan, it seems a bit too hard, but it is also quite cute.
