Some people are on top, some people are diving, this is Fantasy.

However, there are also people who have not changed their rankings since they occupied the pit, and "Chess Soul" is such a living example.

Speaking of which, it really made Chen Nan very unwilling, and originally thought that with the popularity of animation, he should be able to boost the popularity of "Chess Soul". This is actually true, but in addition to the sales of the single book of "Chess Soul" increased significantly, and the popularity ranking was temporarily included in the top three in July and August, and won the first place again with full-color advertising, in September, after the students started school, "Chess Soul" fell back to its original position.

Ten thousand years of the fifth, occasionally the third and fourth, without the blessing of the color page, the first three can't.

For the average person, this result is not bad, no, it should be said that it is very good, after all, the works that can rank in the top five in Fantasy magazine all year round are well-deserved popular works, and their authors are also first-line authors of Fantasy.

Guo Pinyuan also comforted many times: "Hehe, it's enough, now your task is not to think about how to increase popularity, as long as you continue to keep this interesting, "Chess Soul" is no longer the kind of work that needs to attract people's attention, and develop all readers into diehards." ”

In fact, the editor didn't say a word.,Fantasy is a juvenile comic magazine in the end.,Among all hot-blooded comics,"Chess Soul" is a sword.,Although Fantasy magazine claims to be a magazine with a wide coverage,But what is undoubted is its orthodox status of hot-blooded comics.。

To put it more bluntly,Ten of the readers of Fantasy** are here to read hot-blooded comics.,People who like love stories will never buy Fantasy with friendship victory as the main line.,And about seventy percent of them are not too picky readers.,I think other interesting comics will also read and vote.,The remaining thirty percent are die-hard loyalists of hot-blooded comics.,Will only vote for their favorite combat comics.,And one percent of readers are probably specifically to support a comic.,But there are very few such people. , probably like Zhu Ying and them.

Under such a base, the audience of the chess soul itself is small, and now it can rank fifth, not so much that it can't go further, Guo Pinyuan wants to say that it has done too well. This is not a compliment, Liang Yu herself is a female author, but she has a strong control over the control of the plot, and she is very good at rendering the atmosphere.

"Ah, it feels like this one is on fire."

"Come on, Aguang."

I can't help but feel the urge to cheer for the characters in the comics - but how can such an impulse be expressed? In addition to shouting twice like the above in reality, the best way is to vote for "Chess Soul" on the top of the magazine rankings.

If you compare it horizontally, in the more than a year that "Chess Soul" has been serialized, it has been the most stable and best-ranked work among all the non-combat comics on Fantasy magazine, and it is a well-deserved uncrowned king.

Although the author himself may not accept this, Fantasy will actually add macro-control measures in order to maintain the diversity of the serialized works in its magazine.

For example, the work serialized at the same time,It will stipulate that there are no less than fourteen battles in the hot-blooded system, but there must be no more than seventeen of them.,Set the line is naturally to maintain the purity of the magazine.,So that the combat blood-fired won't lose the orthodox low.,It also maintains the original attributes of the magazine.,Set an upper limit.,Naturally, it's to give other types of comics a chance.。

So a lot of times, the serial meeting will give funny comics and youth love comics to release, obviously the popularity vote is not as good as other unsuccessful battle comics, but the editor-in-chief will still let it go.

But please don't have the illusion that funny comics and romance comics have a high rate here, because there are only a few places that can be serialized in magazines, and although the success rate of battle comics is low, the position is several times higher.

In this way, Guo Pinyuan said to Liang Yu and Chen Nan more than once, hoping that as authors, they can guard against arrogance and rashness and make persistent efforts. Liang Yu quickly accepted it, but only Chen Nan couldn't fully accept this statement.

Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?

According to Guo Pinyuan's statement, isn't there a feeling that no matter how hard you work, you will stop here, Chen Nan has always been a stubborn temper who does not believe in fate, and she has indeed tried her best for this day, isn't it a blow to her confidence when she says this.

But facts have proven time and time again that what Guo Pinyuan said is right.

If "Chess Soul" wants to continue to improve, it can't be said to death, but it is indeed difficult, not because the work itself is not good enough, but because its theme and audience ratio in Fantasy determine the fact that it is difficult to reach the top. But although he is unwilling, Chen Nan is powerless to change anything, "Chess Soul" is a Go comic, it is about static braking, the contest between psychology and chess skills, it is impossible to suddenly change what style, into a sword fighting comic, and whether it is Go, or the ability to tell stories, Chen Nan asked himself if he was not as good as Liang Yu, and after looking back, it seems that all he can do is to constantly sharpen his painting skills that have improved quite slowly.

It's also true that drawing manga is different from drawing anything else, and once you've mastered all the skills and been able to integrate them with manga, there's very little room for improvement. Although there is still room for polishing, however, this subtle change can only be understood by the author himself, and for those readers who have their eyes on the plot, as long as you don't get too strong in style, they won't care at all.

And Chen Nan, who can score 4.9 points in his own painting style, can't suddenly get 100 more votes from fans because he has paid double the hard work to reach a full score of 5.0, unless the 3-point work reaches 4 or even 5 points.

Chen Nan was very depressed, really depressed.

But although she usually has a violent temper that can't hide what she says, but for this matter, she suppresses all her emotions in her heart.

Because her reason told her that what editor Guo Pinyuan said was undoubtedly correct, and Liang Yu was also a rare partner, if it weren't for her, she might still be struggling in the same situation as those who kept being rejected, instead of a popular cartoonist who has gained fame and fortune.

The one who is wayward is himself.

Chen Nan understands this very well, but there are some things, not that you can understand it, the key is that you can't pass it.

If you are a person with a peaceful mind and follow the crowd, thinking that you have so much income every month and can be ranked in the top five in magazines, you are standing at the top of the pyramid, although it is not the top, but it is also overlooking the existence of tens of thousands of people below, what is there not to be satisfied with?

But unfortunately, Chen Nan is obviously the kind of person who can't pass his level.

Depressed, she didn't have anyone to vent to, she didn't have many friends, and the only person who could have confided was one of the parties to this incident.

She could only paint, and she kept drawing, and when she was exhausted, she didn't have time to think about these things anymore. However, if you are so overdrawn yourself, even if you are young, you will definitely not be able to hold on.

In the middle of September, the residual heat did not go away, and the diligent "Chess Soul" has been serialized, but the author was hospitalized and closed because of his sudden illness.
