How a Hero Lives as a Writer - How a Hero Lives as a Writer chapter 104
104 – Invitation
Seven’s Tale is a cartoon that tells the story of former warriors from the first to the sixth generation.
We planned to make a total of around 30 books by assigning about 5 stories to each hero.
However, the plan had to be drastically modified.
First of all, it is because there were many problems in the story of the 2nd and 3rd generations being developed in the conventional way.
The story of the invitation was a typical story of warriors.
That’s why the points that give strength were clear, and the ending of the story was easy.
However, it was quite difficult to make the story of the two generations into a cartoon.
Even when the story of the two generations was first organized, everyone was happy.
It was fun to write a story because he was such a cool person and he was not obstructed by the story.
Moreover, since the stories of all races were covered, even briefly, everyone’s concentration had to rise.
However, after organizing all the stories like that, I had no choice but to discover a big problem.
… This is because the original protagonist of Seven’s Tale couldn’t find a part to intervene.
The 2nd Hero was called a tyrant, but in reality he was a person close to perfection.
His personal strength was beyond imagination, and he possessed the virtues of a monarch who leads the country.
The problem was that it was so good that the main character of Seven’s Tale became a jerk.
The 3rd generation can express the appearance part more dramatically, and it can decorate the defense battle magnificently.
But what on earth does the original protagonist of Seven’s Tales do?
Because of that part, we spent an entire week writing and revising the story, changing the story over and over again.
The conclusion that came out at the end was that the two generations roughly portrayed the part of building a nation.
Of course, the Seongguk side ran wild, saying that it would never happen.
It was a tiring process in many ways.
Remembering that time, I felt like I was sighing without even realizing it.
“Whoa….”
Still, with this, the story of the hero is half finished.
I think the story will be sorted out sooner than I thought.
It would be nice if things went like this in the future.
Anyway, now that I have time to spare by turning off the urgent lights, I need to do a number of things now.
Write the story of Lady or Unrewarded, or….
ㅡ Comics!
“Oh, that’s right.”
I need to see if the genre fixation problem is resolved.
I took out a new comic magazine from the bookshelf and picked it up.
“Let’s see….”
The cartoons submitted to the last cartoon magazine had a serious level of fixed genre.
Not much time has passed since then, so don’t expect too much.
While thinking that, I opened a manga magazine….
“Oh?”
A variety of genres caught my eye more than I thought.
Is this so easy?
ㅡ It seems that everyone felt something.
I guess so?
Last time, the stories were more than similar, and even the painting styles were almost at the same level.
But this time, there were various attempts.
No matter what anyone says, this cooking manga stands out the most.
“I thought about this.”
Cooking is a genre that is more effective when expressed through pictures rather than words.
If you take a little more popular elements, it might make a big impression.
ㅡ How?
Like the cooking king bitikryong, or something like the sikgeuk.
In comics, exaggerated fictional expressions are also allowed.
Let’s keep this manga for now.
The next thing that caught my eye was a cartoon in which Logan seemed to have participated.
Because there was only one work in a comic magazine where the main character was reincarnated.
ㅡ Does it taste familiar?
Isn’t it?
Logan’s work was in many ways a mixed piece.
The main character was a boy from a disadvantaged background who was not born with the protection of the stars, just like the main character of Seven’s Tale.
The protagonist loses his life in an accident while doing good deeds.
When such a hero opens his eyes again, he is reincarnated as a baby from a noble family.
Unlike his previous life, the main character is born with a talent that can be called a genius in a blessed environment.
The story ended by implying that the main character, who showed an extraordinary appearance from such a young age, would grow up and attend the academy.
Yeah~ This is really the content of clichés that were eaten up in Korea.
Still, this definitely works.
From noble mtl dot com
In Marais, the concept of Hoi Binghwan has not yet been fully established.
ㅡ The sense of speed was also good.
Oh, now you see it from a similar perspective?
ㅡ Ahem.
It must have been made with the intention of focusing on the Academy Munchkin series from the beginning.
This academy also seems to have a slightly different feel from Mare’s academy.
Should I say it feels like teaching swordsmanship or magic more seriously?
It seems to be more like a web novel academy than a lady’s academy.
This feels like it will work as it is.
Let’s keep this as well.
Other than that, there were unexpectedly genres aimed at adult readers.
A work with a sense of revenge in which a man with thick lines is the main character.
“This one is also unique, but….”
I think this will be fun in its own way, but I don’t know if it will sell.
ㅡ Is there a regression?
I will.
In order to prevent the genre from becoming fixed, I think it was worth the hard work in my own way by locking myself in my room.
Since many genres were mixed in the genre of regression, a work with a slightly different feeling was created with just that.
This seems to have reached the level of being a manga magazine.
Now that comic magazines seem to have set their direction, I don’t think I need to try my hand.
ㅡ What are you going to do with Chunhwa?
I think I need to think about that a little.
Anyway, everyone is conservative in this way.
I’m thinking about how to spread it little by little in a way that only those who enjoy it share it.
Anyway, comic magazines seem to run well on their own, so I think I need to pay more attention to other parts now.
I’ve done a lot of things, so I’ll have to check them out one by one with the feeling of harvesting.

First of all, it was necessary to check what kind of changes had occurred in the whole of Aucklia.
So I decided to come to the castle and ask the chancellor about the current situation in Aucklia.
“Currently, five companies in Oakleaen have applied for branch offices.”
“Oh, you’ve grown a lot?”
Auchlia has developed quite a bit, but it is still lacking in many ways.
Therefore, many merchants were hesitant to invest, but it seems that an additional branch of the merchant will enter the store this time.
I think this is a good thing because the logistics will be transported more effectively.
Among them, the one that caught my eye the most was a company named ‘Leonard’.
“Leonard Sanghoe….”
It’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.
Obviously I heard you were doing something in the social world back home.
When did you come back?
“We are receiving requests for an interview with the writer from each trade association.”
“Really?”
“Yes. I apologized for not being able to afford it because I was busy.”
“Thank you. But was there anything else?”
“That….”
I see….
“Academy by any chance?”
The chancellor nodded her head with a tired expression.
Somehow, it seemed like it might exist.
Now that I have some time to spare, I think I will have to deal with it somehow.
“Isn’t the academy midterm exam period now?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Hmm.”
There is a degree of indulgence for being busy with work.
If left unattended, things will go in a bad direction.
“I’ll take it for now.”
“Are you okay?”
It’s not just one or two invitations.
There may be dozens, maybe hundreds.
It is virtually impossible to respond to all those invitations.
Then another problem arises here.
Because it draws a line between accepting someone’s invitation and not responding to someone’s invitation.
I guess I’ll have to find another way to do this.
“I’ll find a way first.”
I came to remove the lump, but it feels like only the lump has increased.
Ugh.
Aside from that, I was able to hear a short explanation about the current state of Oaklia.
As a whole, the population and income are growing stably, so the explanation was that it would be okay to keep going like this.
Of course, you shouldn’t relax just yet.
Aucklia is too remote a country to be a trading center.
“Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule.”
“No, sir.”
As I was about to say goodbye to the chancellor and part ways, Reina suddenly came to mind.
Come to think of it, I was so busy with her work that I couldn’t even see her for a month.
It looks like you’ll hear that you’re sad, so let’s talk about it while you’re here.
With that thought in mind, she asked a servant near her to tell her that she wanted to meet Reina.
After waiting for about 5 minutes, the servant showed me to Reina’s room.
“It’s been a while, Mr. Bright?”
“… Long time no see.”
Raina greeted me with the same feeling as usual.
But she seemed a little displeased with the strange twitching of her eyebrows.
It’s been a month since I’ve seen her face, so this kind of reaction is natural.
“That, I was very busy in many ways.”
“Yes, it could be.”
But why do your eyebrows keep twitching?
“Do you enjoy the academy?”
Reina let out a short sigh to change her mood, and she gave a small nod of her head.
“As Bright said, the academy is a really fun place.”
Reina told the story of her going to the academy.
She heard the story from Bertus, but Reina said she was in a club activity with the children of the Tribal Union.
It’s a club or something that goes around Oklia in the name of cultural research.
She said, “She also became very close with Ms. Lucia, who said she was close with the author.”
Who is Lucia?
“Who is Lucia?”
“… Ah.”
Reina said she made a mistake for a while, and she put on an embarrassed expression.
“Miss Leticia.”
“Oh, the Wagner family?”
She
She At the academy, she was told that she acted as Leticia Wagner.
I used the tribal union as an excuse to put it in the academy, but I was a bit surprised when I received a report that I was actually doing club activities with the tribal union.
Because there was a report that Reina recommended it.
She wondered if Teresa’s true identity had been discovered, but it seemed that she hadn’t noticed.
According to Reina’s story, Teresa seems to be enjoying her academy life to a great extent.
… Come to think of it, it’s been quite some time since she last did that with Teresa.
Now that you have some time to spare, you should meet Teresa to avoid suspicion in the Holy Land, right?
She thought it would be more comfortable to be stuck in a conference room and a workaholic.
