BXBX NOVEL Chapter 215 - 200 Shadow_1
Men and women teamed up makes work less tedious.
Indeed, with Luo Wei’s assistance, Lin Yuan managed to make swift progress on “King of the Net”.
Both Lin Yuan and Luo Wei were fast when it came to drawing.
In no time, several chapters of the first volume were already completed.
“Should we send this to Teacher Chu Kuang for review?”
After reviewing the content of the chapters, Luo Wei made this suggestion to
Lin Yuan.
Without a second thought, Lin Yuan replied, “Chu Kuang has already seen it.”
Luo Wei:”???”
All these days, she had been working with Lin Yuan and didn’t see him sending the comics to anyone.
Did he send them when he got home at night?
That seemed likely the only explanation.
“I wonder if Teacher Chu Kuang is satisfied with our comic adaptation?” Luo
Wei murmured.
She had recently finished reading “King of the Net”, she really liked the story, part of it could be attributed to their recent work in illustrating the comic.
At that point, Lin Yuan had just finished registering a new account on the Tribe site under the name “Shadow”.
Indeed, it had implications.
It was indeed a shadow of sorts.
Watching Lin Yuan’s actions, Luo Wei was a bit curious, “Aren’t you going to
use your real name?”
Instead of answering, Lin Yuan reflected the question back at her, “Do you use your real name?”
“Me?”
Luo Wei was taken aback, “I’m just an assistant. I don’t have the right to sign
my name…”
“You’ve helped me a lot.”
Although Luo Wei was not Lin Yuan’s ghost writer, she had indeed helped with the drawing.
She was capable of finishing some parts of the content independently, apart from the storyboard.
Under such circumstances, Lin Yuan couldn’t bring himself to sign his name
while leaving out Luo Wei’s.
“Then count me as an assistant. I’ll use the nickname Luoli. That’s the name 1
use when I undertake online orders.”
Luo Wei did not decline further.
“Sure.”
Lin Yuan didn’t have any objections.
Once the account was set up, Lin Yuan uploaded the first few chapters of the
“King of the Net” comic version.
The author’s signature was “Shadow”.
The assistant’s signature was “Luoli”.
However, since it was a new account on the Tribe, he received hardly any comments, even after waiting for quite a while.
This was within Lin Yuan’s expectations.
He directly forwarded the link to the “King of the Net” comic version from Chu Kuang’s account to recommend to his own fans.
Suddenly, a lot of people noticed this comic.
Many reader comments appeared below Chu Kuang’s post:
“A comic version of ‘King of the Net’?”
“I’m kind of apprehensive about opening it…”
“Who is Shadow? Is he a known figure in the comic circle?”
“Why didn’t Chu Kuang find a more prominent comic artist? Did he just get a load of bad money? This Shadow directly buy the comic copyright?”
“Horrible comic-ization!”
“Let’s check it out. If he ruins my beloved Long Ma, I will blast him!”
“I have no interest in comics.”
Just because readers liked a novel, it didn’t mean they would like its comic adaptation. They would probably be more interested if it was an animation.
However, not everyone lacked interest.
Even those with absolutely no interest couldn’t help but feel curious. They wanted to know how the characters from the “King of the Net” story would appear in the comic version.
Therefore,
Quite a few people clicked the link that Chu Kuang posted and started reading “King of the Net” created by Shadow. Once they started reading, many people couldn’t stop.
The release of the comic on Earth after the novel seems like a convoluted process–but don’t forget, the fame gained by the comic and animation versions of “Prince of Tennis” was the precise reason for the creation of the novel edition of “King of the Net”!
On Blue Star,
Chu Kuang’s readers naturally did not know the origins of the novel, all they knew, was that they saw a comic that perfectly fit the original “King of the Net”
“This comic is truly fragrant!”
“Ahh! The character images completely match what I had in mind! All the characters from Youth Academy are just as described in the novel!”
“Perfect reproduction!?”
“This Shadow is rather impressive!”
“The comic creator must be a fan of the novel, there is no way he/she isn’t. 1 knew it right when I saw the cover of the comic, I need to review the plot again…”
“The comic adaptation is too perfect!”
“It’s a pity only the first chapter is in color. Will there be color in the following chapters? The colored comic looks too good!”
In order to attract fans, Lin Yuan had specially applied the new techniques he learned to color the first chapter.
However, since coloring was time-consuming, Lin Yuan only colored the first chapter.
This was a common technique used in many comics.
The readers obviously loved it.
Just two hours after the comic went live, the number of followers for Shadow’s account already exceeded twenty thousand.
It also received over a thousand comments:
“Feels like it can be adapted to an animation!”
-If the animation is in accordance with the comic image, I will definitely watch it!”
“I don’t know why, but after seeing the comic version of ‘King of the Net’, I feel that this novel is really suitable for comic adaptation!”
“It seems that there are some modifications to the plot, but it’s very exciting!
“I never understood what a sliced serve meant until I saw the comic. This Shadow seems to understand tennis as much as Chu Kuang!”
“I wronged Chu Kuang before, he is really good at choosing people!”
The number of comments continued to grow.
The number of followers continued to rise.
Watching the data skyrocket over periods of time, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but share the comic link again as Xian Yu.
“Another collaboration?”
Although Xian Yu didn’t have as many followers as Chu Kuang, he currently had around fifteen million followers, so the publication of the repost was still quite effective.
Especially since…
Quite a few fans were speculating about the relationship between Xian Yu and Chu Kuang. The two were highly suspicious since they followed each other but no one else. They concluded that there must be some strange relationship between them.
“Are they really good friends?”
“Just after Chu Kuang shared it, Xian Yu immediately followed.”
“Actually, I took a look, and the comic is pretty good.”
“I haven’t read the novel, but the comic is really good. I’ll follow it!”
“Thanks for the recommendation.”
“Thanks for the recommendation +1.”
No matter what happened to “Prince of Tennis” at the end, at least the early and middle stages of this comic were very exciting, especially as Lin Yuan’s comic was based on the System’s adaptation, so many parts were even more brilliant.
It wasn’t just Lin Yuan.
Luo Wei was also paying attention to the situation of the “King of the Net comic on her phone.
When Xian Yu reposted the comic, she couldn’t help but exclaim in delight, “Xian Yu reposted our comic! My favorite composer is actually reading a comic that I had a part in creating! Oh, no, that’s not necessarily the case. Maybe Xian Yu doesn’t read comics, he might just have a good relationship with Chu Kuang, so he shared it for him?”
“He read it.”
Lin Yuan casually replied.
Luo Wei was surprised, “Teacher, how do you know…wait, do you know Chu Kuang and Xian Yu?”
The more Luo Wei thought about it, the more likely it seemed!
Otherwise, why would Lin Yuan be able to draw “King of the Net ?
It must have been authorized by the person himself.
And, it seemed like Chu Kuang and Xian Yu knew each other-following this logic, it wasn’t strange for Lin Yuan to know the two!
“Yep.”
Lin Yuan responded as if he was simply answering.
Luo Wei was too excited, her face full of gossip, “What’s the relationship between Xian Yu and Teacher Chu Kuang? Are they really close friends?”
Lin Yuan:
