Chapter 1293: Chapter 1077: Cute Girl Comics

Crowdfunding for Writing a Book!

Actually, this is not just about playing with copying chapters as a gimmick.

What many people don’t know is that, in a way, the original novel “The Martian” actually involved elements of crowdfunding in its writing.

The author Andy Weir is a tech-geek.

He would propose actual problems that might occur on Mars based on the existing conditions of Mars, and then come up with solutions for each problem.

This extreme pursuit of realism even influenced the structure of his work.

You’ll find:

Every time the protagonist in his novels encounters a problem, the development usually follows this routine:

First, analyze and hypothesize;

Then, validate on a small scale;

Next, confirm the plan;

Finally, implement it!

That’s why everyone feels that every detail in the novel is incredibly realistic. This reachable sense of realism is also the most enchanting aspect of this novel.

But this is not all the author’s own merit.

Because Andy Weir’s readers are similar to him, most of them are tech-savvy nerds.

Among these people, there are many professional chemists, physicists, electrical engineers, and so on.

They would actually sit down and calculate the stuff in “The Martian,” pointing out any scientific inaccuracies!

Ultimately.

Andy Weir directly picked out about three thousand very professional readers.

These people do nothing but specifically look for errors in his writings.

This process gave him more confidence in the scientific accuracy of his work, as it underwent scrutiny by many professionals.

A very hardcore way of crowdfunding for writing a book.

Even the people at NASA were dumbfounded after reading the novel, asking the author if he knew someone from NASA, as some of the professional content couldn’t be found online.

Of course.

The author himself is the most remarkable.

To write this book well, Andy Weir self-studied orbital mechanics, botany, astronomy, aeronautics, and other fields of knowledge, and even developed software just to precisely calculate the travel time from Earth to Mars.

“The work he’s done is even more hardcore than the novel itself.”

Lin Yuan exclaimed, as this kind of sci-fi novel, mostly revolving around modern technology, places very high demands on the author.

And after successfully arousing the readers’ interest.

Lin Yuan began exchanging the original text of “The Martian” with the System.

To Lin Yuan’s surprise, the exchanged original text seemed to differ from the Earth version.

Upon closer examination, Lin Yuan was thrilled!

The System had actually modified parts of the novel that were incompatible with Blue Star.

In other words:

The System provided Lin Yuan with a version of “The Martian” created around the technology of Blue Star.

This saved Lin Yuan a lot of trouble.

After all, there is a difference in aerospace technology level between Blue Star and Earth.

With the help of the System, writing speed could also be increased, Lin Yuan felt that he could finish this novel in no time.

However, Lin Yuan still slowed down the pace slightly.

Not only because he didn’t want to come off as too astonishingly unconventional, but because Lin Yuan had other matters to attend to.

To be specific, it was related to Shadow.

Previously Jin Mu mentioned that Tang Yi had finished drawing “Magical Girl Madoka.”

The other party now wanted to create a daily life style comic, preferably more girlish.

Lin Yuan thought about it and quickly had a plan.

He planned to produce “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid”!

This comic is not just girlish, it’s actually one of the representative works of cute girlish manga.

Lin Yuan also understood the comic market on Blue Star, the mainstream themes dominate a large territory, and it’s rare for daily life style comics to attract much attention, let alone the cute style of “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid.”

This comic might give many readers a sense of freshness.

As such.

Let’s get it started!

At least to complete the first few chapters of “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid,” to provide Tang Yi with a reference.

Just like this, with a novel in the left hand and a comic in the right, Lin Yuan was truly multitasking, handling the work of two identities simultaneously.

…

It was now May.

The spring warmth made the air pleasant and the flowers bloom.

By the latter half of the month, Lin Yuan had comfortably completed the first few chapters of “Magical Girl Madoka” and had also provided Jin Mu with a rough outline for the manga’s subsequent plot, leaving a lot of room for Tang Yi to play with.

It’s not that Lin Yuan was lazy.

For a top-tier comic artist like Tang Yi, as long as the genre was right, she no longer needed Lin Yuan to hand-hold her with stick figures.

Meanwhile.

Tang Yi quickly received the preliminary drafts of “Magical Girl Madoka,” along with the plot outline and a few stick figures.

In Tang Yi’s room.

There were also several other comic artists present, including Dragon King, Brother Wolf, Wildsword, Grassheart, and Bai Li.

These people were all serializing comics provided by Shadow.

However, everyone was curious if Shadow would continue to provide them with new comic ideas as he promised.

“Let’s look at this together.”

Tang Yi photocopied the drafts and distributed them to everyone.

A group of top-tier artists from the alliance each began to read the manga called “Magical Girl Madoka.”

“Pfft!”

“Haha!”

“What’s this?”

“And it has transformations too?”

“Perfect girl setting outside but reveals her true nature at home, becoming a lazy girl?”

“Sounds familiar, what was that lazy girl thing again?”

“Lazy girl is a popular term in Chu Continent, just understand it as female hardcore homebodies.”

“This character is epic!”

“The contrast in her character is maxed out!”

“This is freaking cute!”

A slightly devilish art style instantly delighted the group of leading alliance comic artists.

This kind of light-hearted, cute, slice-of-life manga is definitely healing for people who enjoy this style.

Meanwhile, among everyone’s laughter.

Tang Yi was also looking at this manga.

Her eyes lit up more and more, growing increasingly infatuated with the manuscript:

“Too adorable!”

Tang Yi just wanted a comic with daily life of a girl, but Shadow added adorableness to it, making the work instantly charming!

Love it!

Love it so much!

This manga has to be drawn well, if it gets adapted into an anime, finding a highly compatible female voice actor could make it a big hit!

“Looks like Shadow God didn’t lie to us.”

“Even if the comics in our hands come to an end, we can still get very exciting comic ideas from him!”

“This style is awesome!”

“True to Chu Kuang and Xian Yu’s good pal!”

“Yes.”

“Chu Kuang excels in various genres, even recently writing sci-fi; Xian Yu masters various types of shadows, including rare musical instruments; Shadow does the same, be it hot-blooded mainstream comics or offbeat ones, he can easily handle them. This time he even created such a healing cute girl manga, truly a God of Comics!”

“Tang Yi!”

Everyone suddenly became serious.

As Tang Yi was enjoying the comic, she looked up: “What’s up?”

Everyone, looking at the adorable Magical Girl Madoka, almost in unison said: “Please make sure to draw our waifu well.”

Tang Yi: ?

You bunch of hardcore homebodies!

Madoka is clearly my waifu!
