About what genre Shadow's new comic would choose, industry insiders and outsiders had all sorts of speculation, but no one expected Shadow to continue writing detective comics, which everyone thought was an implausible choice—
Shadow just took a major hit in the detective genre!
Now with the launch of the new website imminent, the popularity of the next comic is critical for the website's traffic. Shadow, if he has any brains, wouldn't do this!
Who could have thought!
This guy really is a hardhead!
Is Shadow trying to pick himself up where he fell?
This isn't picking yourself up!
I mean, you fell and chose to lie down right where you fell!
"He's just pigheaded!"
"Although I am a fan of Shadow, I want to make an objective comment. Shadow is too arrogant. He does not accept his detective failure and wants to try again. Normally, this is fine, but at such a critical time, he continues to attempt detective stories, which is really inappropriate. He is risking the new site that Xian Yu and Chu Kuang built for him..."
"Shadow can already predict that he's going to take a hit."
"It seems that the new site can only rely on Yeshenchen and Tianmen, the experts at mainstream comics."
"Three people working together might support it, but it's too forced with just two people. Do they really think two comic creators can support a whole site?"
"But three people are all struggling!"
"What if the new works of those two are also mediocre?"
"After all, no one can guarantee their new work will be a hit, even if they are highly skilled, just look at Shadow's 'The Kindaichi Case Files'."
"Shadow should have played it safe."
"I give up. He prefers risky ventures rather than playing safe."
And it's not just the netizens.
Even his fans are out of ideas.
We could say that Shadow is really pushing the boundaries with this move!
Meanwhile at Tribe Comics.
The comic creators had mixed reactions.
Some were disdainful.
"Shadow must be mad!"
"Still holding on to detective stories?"
"Maybe his pride was hurt. Seeing how successful Xian Yu and Chu Kuang are, especially Chu Kuang's detective novel 'Detective Holmes' which became globally popular, compared to his detective comics which were appreciated but not a hit. So he's upset and wants to prove his detective writing skills."
"He has his own strengths."
"Insisting on taking a path he has failed before, does he have psychological problems?"
"I heard rumors that the falling out with Tribe is due to the inferior performance of 'The Kindaichi Case Files', perhaps this is his internal struggle, so he wants to overcome and prove that Tribe is wrong."
"No matter what reason, he's clearly out of his mind."
"Actually, I can understand. I'll analyze his mentality for you guys. Shadow's friends are Xian Yu and Chu Kuang, these top-tier ones. Their common characteristic is that since their debut, everything has been smooth sailing, with basically every work being a big hit.
The failure this time is unusual for Shadow, you guys should know for a genius who has never experienced failure, how huge this failure is to him. Hence, he's pushing himself into a corner."
Netizens think Shadow is too wilful!
The industry insiders, however, believe that Shadow's mindset is the problem.
It might be due to the pressure from the Tribe, or being provoked by the influence of the two big brothers, or it could even be his first failure in life.
After all, the so-called genius usually has poorer stress resistance...
Tribes Comics and the newly established alliance will surely become competitors.
But the authors of Tribe Comics don't really have any grudges against Shadow.
In the future, it's merely a matter of serving their respective masters.
If anyone dislikes Shadow...
Some comic authors from Chu Continent might not be so fond of Shadow.
Because once upon a time, Shadow, representing Qin Continent, dealt a severe blow to the comic circle of the Chu people.
Apart from those who dislike Shadow, many actually found it a pity.
"I don't know if Shadow can pull this off this time."
If a creator's mentality has a problem, it could possibly take years or even a lifetime to get out of it.
No matter how outsiders discuss the genre of Shadow's new comics.
Time continues to roll forward without caring about human will.
The construction of the new website is running smoothly.
And several days later.
Inside the Shadow Studio.
Lin Yuan and his assistants were working hard.
Upon the completion of the content for a new episode, Lin Yuan suddenly said:
Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
The studio indeed faced a significant challenge this time!
For this, everyone was giving their all for creating the comics!
The days of continuous work left traces of fatigue on everyone's faces!
The fruits of their labor were richly rewarded!
Now, "Detective Conan" has already completed over fifty episodes!
This speed is terrifying!
Probably no other comic studio in the industry could do this!
"I brought everyone milk tea, coffee, and some beverages, snacks are in the hall, you can help yourself. Thank you for your hard work," said Luo Wei with a smile.
Everyone cheered and went into the hall. They were drinking their beverages and chatting, thoroughly enjoying the rare break time they had squeezed out of the continuous working days.
