74, too congested (second watch)
"Huh? A short story even has a frontispiece? What the hell is this? Could it be that the author of this 'flute' is an old author with a new pen name......" she couldn't help but think when she saw the short story that looked like an oil painting on the first page.
After all, according to common sense, only popular serialized works will have the opportunity to use the frontispiece color page, and often this frontispiece color page can impact the popularity ranking, as for short works, it is basically impossible to use color pages, so Tao Ranting, as a senior reader, can't help but suspect that the other party is an old author, and the relationship with the editorial department is very good.
This can also explain why this issue of the magazine chose to publish such a "newcomer" work, after all, generally speaking, the newcomer's works can be on this benchmark girl's manga magazine, basically the winners of the "Flower Newcomer Award" in July every year, this "Flower Newcomer Award" is a stage for newcomers who are interested in creating girl's comic works to show their works, and the judges are popular girl cartoonists, such as Ah Lu, Alice, etc.
In addition to the "Flower Newcomer Award" of the girl's comics, there are also two newcomer awards for juvenile and youth comic works every year, namely the "March Painting King Newcomer Award" and the "Maple Leaf Newcomer Award", the latter is in October, and the competition between the two newcomer awards is fierce. Qualifications for serialization on Weekly Teenagers, but there are many newcomers who have won the gold medal and are often forced to cut off after less than five words......
However, the genius high school cartoonist who won this year's "March Painting King Newcomer Award" used his strong strength to keep his serialized works in the top five among more than 20 serialized comics, and won the attention of many industry insiders.
"Hmm, this short comic is a bit weird, wait, is this really a comic?" Tao Ranting turned two pages. I suddenly discovered the strangeness of this comic, not so much a comic, but a story composed of beautiful illustrations.
"No matter. Anyway, the author's painting style is very much in line with my appetite, and the characters of the hero and heroine are also very good-looking. This author's painting is really tough......"
Tao Ranting watched it with great interest, and when she saw some of the scenes in front that made people smile, the corners of her mouth also hooked up, although she had never had a crush on someone else, but when she saw some silly and cute behaviors of the heroes and heroines in the comics, she felt that they were very cute and loving, and she was very much looking forward to the scene where they finally found out that the two had a crush on each other, which must be very interesting.
And these scenes do give her a very real feeling. I don't know if it's because the author's drawing is too good, or because of other reasons, although she is indeed a senior reader, but she can only be regarded as a scratch in the surface of comic creation.
Although the name of the comic, "Missed", prepared her to have a tragic ending, after reading the first few pages, she basically ignored the name, and then naturally forgot that the ending was a tragedy.
There's no way, the author's painting in front of him is too sweet and loving, giving readers a beautiful illusion of "Since the two protagonists are so cute and so loving, they are destined to come together".
I have to admit it. A certain unscrupulous eldest lady used her healing techniques from writing to comics, which is completely revenge on society......
Tao Ranting felt very relieved. This comic seems to have only the two characters of the hero and heroine, and there is no hateful third party involved, which means that there will not be such a vulgar plot as "the male or female protagonist suddenly finds out that the other party is intimate with a girl or boy and is suspected of being a couple, and then a misunderstanding leads to a tragedy".
Not to mention, this kind of plot is often seen in some comics or novels, obviously taking the initiative to ask, and the misunderstanding can be solved, but in the end, the misunderstanding gets bigger and bigger, and then the misunderstanding is either solved and comes together. Or simply make a tragedy and raise your qualifications.
It is said that most of the famous books in these years are tragic, and there is no NTR plot in them. It's even more as if it can't highlight the author's style.
Tao Ranting continued to read calmly, and there was no magic twist in the whole comic. It's just that the male protagonist who didn't have the courage and the reserved female protagonist didn't take the initiative to confess, and as a result, they parted ways, and neither of them knew that they had ever had a crush on each other.
After reading the whole comic, Tao Ranting only had this thought - what the hell is this comic? That's the end of it? Where's the cheat?! It's also too ...... Well, this author is deliberately taking revenge on society, right? Turns out that's why she used a new vest? If I want to know who the author's true identity is, I must ......
Tao Ranting's only feeling now is that her heart is very blocked, this kind of discomfort can't make people want to cry or anything, anyway, she is depressed, and she can't cry if she wants to!
Why didn't the author draw a scene where the two of them knew they had a crush on each other? If that's the case, even if the two sides don't get together in the end, it's not so embarrassing!
However, she has to admit that the author is really well drawn, although the plot of the whole comic seems very plain, without any twists and turns, but it is this kind of flat and direct narration that actually gives readers an extremely real illusion, as if such a miss because there is no confession on both sides is a very common thing.
Whether it is this natural plot or the author's painting form, it is very innovative, giving people a sense of genius who has gone off the rails......
From the most objective point of view, this is a good short comic, which has won Tao Ranting's approval, but its author has made Tao Ranting hate itchy, and she has the word "flute" deeply imprinted in her mind.
She immediately took out the reader survey form sandwiched on the last page of the magazine, and then looked at the readers' opinions on it, her face was cloudy, and finally she sneered and began to write about her indignation.
However, when she ticked off the three favorite works in this issue, she didn't hesitate to tick Ah Lu's "Autumn Rain" and Alice's "Pink Love", and her pen ended up moving to the short story "Miss......
"Hmph, although I hate this author for playing with the reader like this, but in all fairness, this work is innocent, and its frontispiece is so beautiful that it wants to be the wallpaper on my computer desktop...... So I'll choose it, I'm a very responsible reader! Tao Ranting pursed her lips and ticked hatefully. (To be continued) R580
