Similarly, if you want to see how good art can affect a work, Infinite Stratos is a good example.

The parents of the original author, Kyushi Yihe, also gave a "very boring" evaluation after reading their son's work. It is not difficult to see what the group of people who bought books are aiming for.

But frankly speaking, in the environment at the time, the setting of IS still had its own novelty, or it just captured the cool point of otaku. That is, the later cookie-cutter "under the worldview of so-and-so, there is so-and-so thing that only women can use, but the male protagonist is the only exception".

Retracting his thoughts that he didn't know where he had flown to, Jiang Yu stopped rubbing his chin with his right hand, looked up at the ceiling of the bedroom, and began to think about the illustration of "Spring Things".

In the previous life, the problem of the illustration of "Spring Things" was not less criticized, especially many readers who watched the anime and then went to see the original light, found that the style of the first few volumes of illustrations was completely different from the style of animation, right? Although the painting style of the first and second seasons of the animation has also changed significantly......

Perhaps it was because he had planned that it would be a short voyage from the beginning, so the original illustrator Poncan (8) also began to let himself go and draw illustrations that favored colorful watercolors. But then it was compromised because of the animation.,Changed to a style of painting that favors the animation style.,This also leads to a completely different impression of the characters before and after.。

It's not that the former style of painting is not good.,It's just that people who come into contact with it for the first time may find it a little strange.,From Jiang Yu's own point of view.,Now he's a creator.,Out of confidence in this work.,If he wants to set a painting style that doesn't deviate at the beginning,Then he will choose the animation painting style.。

But...... It's about asking for advice, but as a new writer, do you really have the right to suggest the illustration style of your work? It's nice to have someone willing to take over the illustration work, right?

This point is a little underestimated by Jiang Yu to be able to publish, but whether it is in his previous life or in his predecessor, he is not a practitioner in this field, at most he is an online writer, and it is inevitable that there will be such a misunderstanding. The light that can be published itself is a work that the publisher considers to be "sellable" or "profitable", so the author has a certain right to choose the illustration style of his work.

Jiang Yu, who had made up his mind in his heart, began to reply to the black cat.

"I don't have any special requirements, and I don't know any famous illustrators...... Do you have any considerations on your side?"

Soon, the other party replied.

"Yes! Because many people in the editorial department are optimistic about your work, Machida, editor-in-chief, is going to contact several well-known illustrators through the channel of the Immortal River Bunko, so would you like to take a look at the works of the illustrators who can be contacted tentatively?"

"That's really grateful, if Black Cat-san is free now, please send it over. Also, it would be great if honorifics could be removed from the conversation~"

Of course, Wugen Liuli did not respond to such words, but quickly sorted out the alternative illustrators' works and sent them to Jiang Yu.

Looking at the dozens of pictures and the text notes below, Jiang Yu silently compared, most of them are now more popular painting styles, and there are no works similar to the original illustrator Poncan (8), which also avoids Jiang Yu's possible vacillation.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Yu chose two illustrators, or thought that it was the best choice to hand over the work of illustration to these two people. One of them is named "Elmi", and it can be seen from the works sent by the black cat that this artist can control a variety of painting styles, and he can control them well; The other has a more subtle name, called "Teacher Eromana", which is the result of transliteration, and the literal translation is "Teacher of Erotic Comics". The other party's painting style is more obvious, and he takes the cute route, which is just in line with the later painting style of Jiang Yu's previous life "Spring Things".

After making a decision, Jiang Yu naturally told his thoughts to Black Cat, and after getting the other party's promise that "I will contact the illustrator as soon as possible and inform the teacher of the result", this brief communication between the editor and the author came to an end for the time being.

After ending the conversation, Jiang Yu stretched out against the back of the chair, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and used the menu key + Tab to cut out the web page.

The contact with his editor-in-charge just now reminded him of the newcomer reward of the Immortal River Library that he hadn't paid attention to for several days, and now he is taking advantage of the rest to prepare to board the official website of the Immortal River Library to take a look at the current situation of "Spring Things".

After entering the newcomer reward page, the first thing that catches your eye is, of course, the huge leaderboard in the center of the page, which occupies almost half of the entire page.

It seems to have been a week since the last time the black cat told him about the newcomer reward, and "Spring Things" still firmly controls the first position. In this information age where the transmission of information is extremely fast, the reputation of "Spring Things" seems to have begun to slowly ferment in the circle of the entire otaku, Jiang Yu clicked on it and looked at the message below, almost all of them were praised, some were not full of star evaluations, but also pointed out some practical problems or because the length was too short, and he was afraid that the milk would die and pretended to be ...... In addition, there are some comments saying where they came from.

It seems that thanks to the current situation of the entire industry, this book is quite different and light, which makes many people very optimistic. This may also be one of the reasons why Immortal Kawa Bunko has started contacting him now to prepare for publication-related matters.

After silently reading the comments for a while, Jiang Yu, who was in a good mood, closed the webpage and continued to devote himself to the production of the game. Having experience in production, he knows very well that in the process of making games independently, most of the time is spent sitting in front of the computer and doing nothing.

If you have experience in the field, you can make a game like "Witch's House" with all your might, and it only takes less than a month to complete it with high-intensity work every day. Even if you add the process of running debugging and bug detection in the later stage, it only takes a month at most to launch a relatively perfect version of the game.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu suddenly wanted to change his mind. Originally, he planned to launch this game at this year's winter CM, but judging from the current progress, maybe it will be launched at the summer CM? After all, version 1.08 of the subsequent update of the original work is already a very complete version, and it doesn't need him to optimize too much. He has no plans to make follow-up updates, and is ready to launch the complete body in one step.

But that's fine, so that you can leave the second half of the year completely for the production of the "Gate of Destiny Stone", maybe you can do some extra work?

Wait a minute...... Why should I find something to do for myself? Are you still thinking that the life of a former programmer is not hard enough, and you are ready to do it again?

In his heart, he immediately rejected the FLAG he had just set, and Jiang Yu was quite a little crying and laughing and pressed the soul of the programmer who was about to move in his heart.
