Chapter 425: Webtoons and Trending Lists

Shen Xin spent half a month drawing and finalized 32 sketches. As it sounds, progress is slow.

In fact, due to the normal serialization, the time Shen Xin can use to draw sketches is extremely limited, and Shen Xin has to work overtime every day.

More importantly, the original "Steel Refining" is a monthly magazine, so the page ratio of each chapter is inconsistent.

Some chapters can be divided into two chapters, one chapter has more than 20 pages, while some chapters have only more than 30 pages.

Fortunately, there are enough manuscripts saved before, even if the work is a bit busy, it doesn't hurt.

After discussing for a whole day, the production team of "God Descends" determined the choice of all settings.

Next, Shen Xin will start copying the line draft with the transparent writing table and coloring the characters.

It sounds difficult, but designing characters is the hardest part, and coloring is just a little cumbersome.

Gao Hang and the others are also capable of coloring, but Shen Xin signed a contract with Ji Yinxuan, so it is inconvenient for others to have access to the original painting, and he can only complete these tasks by himself.

"time to eat."

Auntie came out of the kitchen and said to everyone who was drawing pictures.

Gao Hang stretched his waist, took a deep breath, and said with a happy face, "Dinner is ready."

"Auntie, the food you cook is delicious. I think I'm going to gain weight." Liu Rui said with a sad face.

"As long as you like it."

Auntie has a strong Hongchuan accent. At the beginning, everyone couldn’t understand it. After a period of contact, everyone got used to it. Not to mention 100% understandable, but 70% to 80% are still not enough down.

"Brother Xin, it's time to eat." Xi Muhan closed his notebook and said to Shen Xin who was drawing the original manuscript of "Steel Refining".

"Okay... wait a minute."

Shen Xin sent the finished line draft to Gao Hang's mailbox, then stood up and went downstairs with Xi Muhan.

The other four people (including auntie) had already sat around the dining table. When Shen Xin and Xi Muhan came over, Gao Hang also put the rice in front of everyone, "Let's eat!"

"Eat less, too fat to find a wife." Shen Xin laughed.

Gao Hang blushed, "I've lost weight."

"Huh?" Shen Xin looked at Gao Hang whose cheeks were gradually rounding, a little surprised, "Why didn't I see it?"

"I lost a catty." Gao Hang said seriously.

"I'm afraid it's because you're wearing one less piece of clothing?" Liu Rui muttered softly with rice in her mouth.

"Wh...what's the matter? Slander!" Gao Hang stiffened his neck and retorted, "It's just that I didn't wear a suit."

Noticing that other people looked over with a half-smile, he quickly explained, "I only weighed it after I was full."

"..." After more than ten seconds, Shen Xin turned to Yan Fei and said, "Go back and buy an electronic scale so that Xiaohang can keep track of his weight."

"Eh? Teacher Shen, you are too bad!" Gao Hang protested solemnly.

"That's it. It's not good to eat too much fat, otherwise, if you lose weight, I'm afraid you'll be Prince Charming?" Shen Xin stared at Gao Hang.

In fact, apart from being fat, this kid also has a problem with his height.

"Mr. Shen..." Hang Jian scooped up a bowl of fish head soup for Shen Xin, "There seems to be a lot less discussion about "Smelting Steel" on the Internet now."

"I don't know...but Xiaoshu's ranking has dropped a little."

Shen Xin heard Wang Wenhong mention it, and seemed to be overtaken by "".

However, he couldn't help it. This episode happened to be the weakest part of "Smelting Steel".

The previous few words were about the Elric brothers sending Wen Li to the Laxiu Valley, and then the two of them went to Darbris to meet the master Izmi.

The latest chapter recalls that after the death of their mother, the Elric brothers wanted to worship Izmi as their teacher in order to revive her mother, but Izmi threw him to York Island.

It might be better going down, Shen Xin thought in her mind.

Soon, the artificial human Greed (greed) will come out, and the battle between the artificial humans should bring a short climax.

"I remember that "Steel Refining" seems to have dropped to fifth place in the popularity ranking of online comics," Liu Rui said.

"Hot? Ranking?"

Shen Xin froze for a moment,

I didn't expect to hear this word.

"Yes. It seems to be a ranking based on the number of searches for comics on the Internet." Liu Rui recalled.

"That ranking list is actually not very authoritative. After all, people who search for comics are not necessarily readers, maybe they just search out of curiosity. Before, no one looked at this list. Recently, with the rise of web cartoonists, this list has gradually appeared. Popularity. There are some web comics that I have never heard of, even higher than the signs of some small magazines. After all, those sign comics still suffer from lack of popularity." Hang Jian said.

"That's not necessarily true. Readers have sharp eyes, and it's impossible to search for comics that you don't like." Liu Rui retorted.

"You're being ridiculous. Some comics in small magazines are not well-known at all. If most netizens haven't heard of them, how can they search online? Besides, what if they search? There are no comics to read on the Internet? Readers want to read comics You have to pay for magazines. Unlike web comics, many of them can be read for free." Hang Jian explained.

Liu Rui opened her mouth slightly, and just about to refute, Gao Hang answered again: "I think what Brother Hang said has some truth, but I think, sometimes, the responsible editing is very important, and those web cartoonists should not be responsible for editing. "

"The editor in charge...not necessarily. Just like sister Xiaohan, she rarely listens to the editor's advice when writing manuscripts, right?" Liu Rui looked at Xi Muhan.

"The creation of novels is still different from comics. For example, I am responsible for editing manuscripts, and the responsible editor asks me to delete the number of words. Well, it is said to be concise and to the point, not to fill in the water. Every time I change the text, it is painful." Xi Muhan sighed.

Shen Xin took a sip of the fish soup, and glanced at Xi Muhan who was full of sorrow. It seemed that changing the text was really painful.

He has a say in this kind of thing, because he used to be a network author.

When it comes to "filling water", online novels are "the vast ocean".

But to be honest, Internet authors can’t do anything, because deleting redundant words requires repeated revisions and inspections, and some authors don’t even have time to check typos, let alone delete watery words.

"Also, old authors may not need editorial guidance, but authors who are creating for the first time must know. Because there will be stuck words in creation, editors can help authors through this difficult time. Brother Xin, you should have experienced it too. This kind of experience, right?" Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin.

Shen Xin nodded repeatedly, empathizing with her.

Although he didn't get stuck with the plot when creating comics, after all, he already had one, but when writing novels, he did get stuck with the text.

A person sitting in front of a computer may not necessarily be able to write a thousand words all day.

Maybe after writing a hundred words and deleting fifty words, you may still be dissatisfied in the end, or you may press your fingers on the keyboard, but you still can't think of the next plot.
