Zhang Ziqiang said, "First of all, of course, it's because of your outstanding drawing skills, Master Su Li. The side characters that you've drawn are all beautiful and impeccable. Furthermore, you've even set a single ponytail hairstyle for 'Xu Jing'. Perhaps it's because you think that this hairstyle is too common and does not have any moe points, but in fact, it's a freak combination of factors that makes this character stand out.
When Su Li heard what her assistant said, she could not help but say humbly, "I feel that my drawing skills are still lacking. It's purely because I'm used to drawing female characters that I'm good at. That's why I unconsciously drew a beautiful girl when I was preparing to draw a side character."
It must be mentioned that sometimes the appearance of a manga character was very homogenized. They could only be distinguished by their hairstyle and hair color. The worst part was the male protagonist. The male protagonist of a Harem manga always gave people the feeling that they were always the same person, which coincided with the essence of "Kirito People".
At this time, Su Li said again, "As for the hairstyle, you're right. I personally prefer 'long straight black hair', 'double ponytail', 'slanted ponytail', 'bob hairstyle' and so on. Even if it's a standard single ponytail, the hair must be as long as the buttocks. Like this character's most common single ponytail hairstyle in reality, I don't think it's cute at all, so I just casually used it. I didn't expect it to make this character stand out from the masses."
"I guess it's not just these that you find interesting, is there anything else?" Su Li continued to ask.
Zhang Ziqiang did not hold back. As Su Li's assistant, he felt that he should not only assist her in drawing, but also contribute to the creative thinking.
"Of course, there's the character's character and behavior." Zhang Ziqiang said slowly.
Su Li showed an expression that said "you're kidding me". She did not wait for Zhang Ziqiang to finish, mainly because Zhang Ziqiang spoke very slowly, and Su Li was an impatient person. She could not help but refute, "This character has no character, not to mention behavior. I didn't even waste pen and ink to draw her, did I? She doesn't even have many lines. She'll always be in the background! "
Zhang Ziqiang was not in a hurry to respond to Su Li's rebuttal. He said calmly, "Teacher, you may not have paid much attention to this character's personality, but I have. Although this girl's talent is average, she is diligent and passionate about learning, to the point of being addicted to it. Is that right?"
Su Li nodded without hesitation and said, "That's right, it's just a side character. Of course, it has to be ordinary. Otherwise, it must be because of my negligence. You should know that the protagonist's harem has a blonde, flat-chested, tsundere lady with an IQ of 250. It's impossible for me to create a female character with a high IQ, that would be repetitive."
"Talent isn't important. What's important is her diligence and passion for learning!"
"I don't understand what you're talking about. What's the point of putting such a simple setting on an inconspicuous side character? Are you hallucinating? I've set this character up purely to be a supporting character for the most important sister character in this work, 'Yang Xixi'. There's an old saying that goes, 'One is marked by the company one keeps, one is blackened by the company one keeps'. I've set up an ordinary but positive bestie for Yang Xixi. This will definitely add to Yang Xixi's score! "
Su Li elaborated on her idea of setting up the side character 'Xu Jing'. She did not realize that this side character had actually been altered. She firmly believed that all of this originated from her own idea.
Zhao Youyue's brilliance could be seen from this. If she were to act like how she did when she first entered the Dimensional Gate, giving the character she was playing an invincible superpower or something like that, even though the work in reality would be altered because of her, the author who found out that something was amiss would only think that it was due to a brain cramp, or that he had drunk too much. That was why he came up with something that was obviously not in line with the work's setting, and would immediately correct the mistake.
But now, Su Li firmly believed that all of this was her original setting!
The little sister character 'Yang Xixi' was indeed Su Li's focus. Firstly, it was because she was actually a sister-con. In reality, she had two cute little sisters. Secondly, the little sister character was very popular, and was the favorite female character of many male readers. Therefore, she would naturally lean towards the little sister. As for the other harem characters, she did not even mention the bestie.
Therefore, what Su Li said was right. The side character 'Xu Jing' actually existed by relying on the little sister. Without the popularity of the little sister, there would be no Xu Jing.
At this moment, Zhang Ziqiang sighed slightly. Actually, he did not want to argue with Su Li anymore. She was obviously a very assertive mangaka. Her achievements had also nurtured her pride. However, when he thought of the character 'Xu Jing', he bit the bullet and said, "Perhaps this is not a plus, but a minus."
"What?!" Su Li could not stay calm anymore. She even felt that it was no wonder that Zhang Ziqiang had not achieved anything after so many years in the mangaka world. He could not even grasp the main point. How could he say that a side character was interesting …
Zhang Ziqiang also changed his slow pace and said in one breath, "Indeed, when this' Xu Jing 'appears in the manga, she is always the background. But she is always learning! When Yang Xixi is thinking about how to fight for the love of the cat, she is learning; when Yang Xixi is thinking about how to fight for the love of the male protagonist, she is learning; when Yang Xixi is fighting with the other harem members in front of the male protagonist and going through the Shuraba plot, she is still quietly learning in the corner! Even if she is still the background! I thought Master Su Li, there must be a deeper meaning behind your arrangement. Never did I expect that I was thinking too much! "
"This …" Su Li was a little confused by Zhang Ziqiang's fast talking speed. However, Zhang Ziqiang was not done yet.
"This is a school harem manga. Basically, all the characters in this manga are students. However, be it the male protagonist, or the numerous female protagonists who revolve around him, including Master Su Li's little sister 'Yang Xixi', whom you are very satisfied with. As students, they do nothing but quarrel, jump up and down, and tear each other up. Compared to 'Xu Jing' who is quietly studying in the corner, I want to say that Xu Jing is a pure and unpretentious character, totally different from the group of coquettish bitches in the male protagonist's harem! That's why I think this character is a little interesting … It's fine if the readers don't notice her. But once they do, they will definitely reduce the score of the 'girls'. The 'girls' have no independence at all, and almost all of them are paying for it. How cheap! "
After listening to this, Su Li was completely dumbfounded and confused …
