All-rounder Artist

Chapter 374: Chapter 353 – Above the Master_1

Of course.

It’s not only the art of “Death Note” that shocks the readers, but also its plot.

The reason why everyone is talking about the artwork is that the artwork of this comic is really impressive!

It’s just like when an actor gives a great performance in a movie, yet his own attractiveness even overshadows his acting skills.

But if this actor truly has talent, then as long as you keep watching, you’ll gradually see past his good looks and appreciate his perfect acting skills.

It’s, after all, a unprecedented SSS-rank drawing skill, and it is undoubtedly attractive.

Compared to this, although the script and setting of the comic are also excellent, they received an S-rank evaluation.

Don’t underestimate S-rank.

In terms of plot, an S-rank is already a top-level evaluation.

This is also related to the short serialization period of “Death Note.”

During these days of serialization, although Shadow updates quickly, the story line of “Death Note” has not yet fully unfolded, so there’s less discussion about the plot than the artwork. It’s just because–

The plot needs space to unfold.

The artwork, however, can be seen from the very first image.

Situation improved gradually beginning from the third week of the serialization of “Death Note.”

Because the plot began to unfold.

Readers, having grown accustomed to the artwork of “Death Note,” began paying more attention to the plot and thus more comments were generated–

“Ever since this comic was serialized, almost everyone was chatting about the artwork, but few discussed the plot. In reality, the plot of this comic is also very exciting. It is logically rigorous in every aspect. From the beginning to the currently serialized storyline, they are all impressive. From the standpoint of plot quality, it’s worthy of such a top-notch artwork.”

“What I wanted to say has been stated by the person above. Guys, do not overlook the plot. The plot of “Death Note” truly is awesome!”

“This comic has more text than others, from the beginning to the current plot, it has been in a tense battle of wits the whole time. This is my favorite type. I, however, don’t fancy Yagami Light’s personality. He’s too cold and too ruthless. Lin is more likable.”

“The two primary male characters confronting each other and their endless reversing plots of wits watching it is really enjoyable!”

“The plot has a bit of reasoning taste. The discussion about what is justice raises the level of the work. Originally, Yagami Light attempted to overcome legal barrier to assist the vulnerable in punishing offenders, which was a well-intentioned move. However, the hope to create a utopia with an individual’s extreme abilities is the biggest problem. Unfettered power can hardly avoid causing problems. I have a feeling that Yagami Light will eventually become completely dark.”

“The topic of personal enforcement of the law reminds me of Chu Kuang’s “Murder on the Orient Express.” It’s the same choice of personal enforcement of the law, just that Yagami Light is more extreme. In Chu Kuang’s novel, the practice of using violence to suppress violence is out of helplessness. Maybe Shadow and Chu Kuang discussed this topic privately, so their works both happened to discuss the issue of justice. Poirot finally chose to forgive, but Yagami Light has plunged too deeply. I wonder if Shadow will also choose forgiveness?”

“Explosive style, explosive plot!”

“This comic is telling a truth; human issues should be resolved by humans themselves. They should not resort to the power of god. Some people knowledgeable in religion can think clearly about this. My world view says that we, humans, come to this world for cultivation and eliminating evil deeds is a major part. If we resort to the power of god to remove this evil, it’s actually the equivalent of burying one’s head in the sand; not having solved the problem at all. It’s an irresponsible way of self-deception. Therefore, Yagami Light is the antagonist. I’m very curious how the author will arrange the subsequent plot.”

“…”

It was outside of Lin Yuan’s expectation.

The controversy over Yagami Light’s actions was not particularly high among the readers.

Perhaps this has something to do with the relatively young age of comic readers.

The process of judging a case in a detective novel is relatively dry; young readers do not have the patience to read through it. Most of them would consider it boring after reading half of it, so the overall age of the readers tends to be older.

Comics are different.

Though many people see Yagami Light as a character who goes to the dark side right from the start who has a problematic worldview, there are also countless numbers of readers who worship him because of this.

Perhaps it is for this reason, considering this factor, that the comic ultimately arranged for Yagami Light’s death to lead readers in the right direction.

If Yagami Light did not die, the value orientation would be incorrect.

Having checked the ratings on the website, “Death Note” received a current rating of 9.4.

This rating comes from Starry Sky Network.

As the most objective rating site recognized by Blue Star, the rating of “Death Note” is higher than that of Douban in Celestial Dynasty.

There are two reasons.

The first one is that System slightly adjusted the quality of the plot of “Death Note” to make the logic of the content stronger.

The second is that the artwork of “Death Note” had surpassed the original and had reached the ceiling of the comic artwork!

Furthermore.

With this wave, Lin Yuan’s drawing reputation also improved significantly, increasing from the original 300,000 to over 400,000 now.

Maybe when this comic finishes, his reputation might go up even more!

Not only that.

“Death Note” also ranks high on the various popularity leaderboard on Tribe Comics.

Although it hasn’t made it to the top spot, it has begun to show promise!

Of course, it’s not possible to rush to the top spot directly. After all, the longer a comic is serialized, the more popular it becomes.

It’s hard to imagine a comic that just launched can beat Dead Sea of Fire at its peak.

This world doesn’t have comics like Dead Sea of Fire, but there are works of the same level that a comic like “Death Note,” which has been serialized for less than a month, can’t topple.

However, according to the trend of popularity growth, if “Death Note” does not fail, it will undoubtedly become a pillar of the industry in the future!

This is beyond doubt.

This is the terrifying influence of Master-level drawing!

This is also the first time Lin Yuan has received a Master-level reward.

His other abilities, such as calligraphy skill and piano playing ability, are all at the professional level.

His professional piano playing ability was the first ability that Lin Yuan obtained, but he has not had the chance to elevate it to the Master level.

Instead, it was his drawing ability that later surpassed others and first reached the Master level.

That’s why Lin Yuan’s drawing reputation has been able to grow so rapidly.

That’s the power of a Master!

It actually makes Lin Yuan look forward to his other abilities reaching the Master level.

Only those who have experienced it would know how big a gap there is between the Professional and the Master level!

System once said.

Master level is not the limit, and there is a Perfect level above the Master level.

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but wonder, if the Master level is already so impressive, is the Perfect level still human?

Alright.

According to System, Perfect level is indeed not human. The limit of human abilities is the Master level.

Like how the most skilled go player can’t beat AlphaGo.

Perhaps the so-called Perfect level is like AlphaGo, at the level of artificial intelligence?
