Chapter 690: Miss
Since readers need to go to the bookstore to buy "Comic Future" in order to read "DN", it was not until the next day that the topic of "DN" was discussed in major forums, and it quickly occupied the main body of public opinion.
The biggest advantage of evil comics is that the sword goes off the rails, which is unexpected, and uses suspense and plot reversal to attract readers.
Compared with ordinary evil ways, the suspense of "DN" is full from the first page, and, at the beginning of the story, the protagonist skips a lot of plots, and the plots that are not related to the theme are reduced as much as possible.
The origin of the notes, the notes that the moon picked up, the test notes, and the use of notes occupy a limited space in the manga.
The manga is more about introducing the setting, such as the Grim Reaper and the Grim Reaper Realm, the rules of the Death Note, the encounter between the moon and sulfur, etc., so that readers can understand the background of the story as quickly as possible.
Of course, there are also some evil works, which will be relatively quick to enter the topic, but generally speaking, that kind of comics are in a closed world, but "DN" is not, or rather, the world he created is not a closed world, after all, the people killed by the moon are not only domestic, but also abroad.
This makes readers attracted to "DN" after reading the first episode.
"Have you all read the first episode of "DN"?"
"Look, superb. Sure enough, as I had guessed before, it was a manga of outwitting. ”
"The first sentence gives 4 rules, which can be regarded as limiting the conditions for use."
"Names and appearances must be known; If you don't write the cause of death within 40 seconds, you will die of heart palsy; If you write the cause of death, you can write a more detailed process in 6 minutes and 40 seconds...... These few restricts the use of notes. ”
"But there's another question, did you notice? With this constraint, notes aren't as powerful as they seem. Now, Ah Yue mostly gets useful information from the news, because when the TV station reports the news, there are images and names of the people who were killed, but if the protagonist doesn't know the names of others, isn't the notes useless? ”
"Also, the conditions have become harsh, but the notes are still strong."
"The role of the Grim Reaper's sulfur has not yet been manifested. I always felt that he was the more terrifying person. ”
"His looks are really too abstract. It doesn't feel like a good person. ”
"They all say it's death, and you still treat him as a good person? This kind of person, to be honest, is the most unsympathetic. ”
"The moon and the god of death are together, I hope it doesn't get calculated."
"I still care about the young man who appeared in the last compartment, and from what he said, it can be seen that he should be the enemy of the moon."
"I didn't expect Yue's opponent to appear so early, I don't know what progress will be made in the future......"
"Alas, if you want to see the next word, you have to wait another 6 days, one word - headache."
"Did you all buy Comic Future?"
"That's right."
"Oops! I haven't read "Comic Future" for a long time, and I've been scrolling through the apps of Duoman and "CF", and I didn't know that Mr. Shen had sent a new book. You say too, "Comic Future's own app" doesn't promote "DN"? I only found out this afternoon that Mr. Shen had sent out a new book, and as a result, the nearby bookstore had sold out "Comic Future", and I would have to take a ride to buy it in other places tomorrow. Wouldn't Comic Future be able to get DN to be released on the app? ”
"I feel the same way. It's like "Y's", you don't have to think about going to the bookstore at all, and you don't have to worry about not being able to buy it. ”
"Not to mention, magazines also have a cost."
"I heard that in District 11, "DN" is serialized on the app, which is really convenient."
"That's right. Even if it is placed on the app, it may be sold as a single book or a complete version, and it is good to buy a set at that time and use it as a collection. However, for now, it is basically impossible. ”
"Upstairs, you can follow Mr. Wang Wenhong's Weibo, he knows things related to "DN" and "Y's".
"Who is Wang Wenhong?"
"The editor in charge of "Chess Soul" and "Steel Refinement" has now joined Mr. Shen's studio."
"I know, but I still hope that "DN" can be on the app (cry)."
……
"DN" has just been released for more than a day, and the popularity has squeezed into the top 20 of the list, and according to the current situation, it is a matter of these two days to rush into the top ten.
With the serialization of "DN", the sales of "Comic Future" also have a tendency to rise, but due to the cost of the magazine, the number of prints of the magazine has not increased much, and they are also waiting to see what impact this manga will have on the magazine.
In comparison, the number of subscriptions to "DN" in the comic book is a bit exaggerated, with more than 400,000 subscriptions in a single day, and the discussion related to "DN" immediately became the hottest topic in the 11 district forum, and as the number of participants in the discussion increased, the subscription to the first episode also continued to increase.
Murakami was also shocked when he saw the popularity of "DN".
He'd seen the short stories of DN.
In all fairness, it's a comic that will definitely make people shine, but the whole book is eating "note" brain holes, and the characters are shaped and the story structure is good, which is a little thin.
Of course, the advantage of evil comics is that they are quick to get into the topic, and if the suspense is set well, it is easy to attract readers, but its achievements are really difficult to compare with royal comics.
Therefore, Toru Murakami wanted to dry "Comic Future" and strive to talk about cooperation and obtain greater benefits.
Unexpectedly, "Comic Future" directly sold the comic rights of "DN" in District 11 to Comic Chronicles.
When he learned the news, Murakami Toru did have a sour feeling in his heart, and at the same time, there was a hope in his heart that "DN" would fail - even if its own quality was acceptable, but without the blessing of "Shonen Leap", the popularity and sales of "DN" were still uncertain.
Unexpectedly, in the first episode of "DN", it ranked first on the new book list of mobile comics in District 11, and there was a gap of almost 100,000 in the second place.
As the discussion heats up, sales of DN should also rise.
If there are shortcomings, it's not that there are too few pages in DN, and for readers who are used to reading two or three volumes of manga in one sitting, the content of one sentence is not enough to attract them, but as the plot progresses, no one is sure whether DN will threaten Shonen Leap.
The editorial board of Shonen Leap knew about the manga's existence, but they didn't talk about it, and some editors even pretended that the manga didn't exist.
However, by the end of the week, the number of subscribers to "DN" had reached 700,000, and the editors of "Comic Future" could no longer ignore the manga and began to discuss it secretly.
Murakami flipped through the manga between breaks in the smoking room and saw the last page in one go.
After exiting the software, he took a sharp puff of his cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke.
"It seems...... Missed a good manga ......"
