With the addition of three assistants, Ren felt his work was much easier.

After all, he no longer needed to do other complicated jobs; he only needed to draw characters and "retell" the plot.

However, he also arranged different jobs for Yuka, Hiroki, and Akutami Yuta.

Hiroki focused on painting the backgrounds, Yuka was in charge of inking, white-out, coloring, and other tasks, and Akutami Yuta's job was a bit dull, mainly pasting screen tones and dialogue boxes.

But their work was relatively easy; after all, Ren was a man with saved manuscripts.

So their work was not rushed.

In the end, Yuka, Hiroki, and Akutami Yuta felt a little embarrassed and took the initiative to help Ren clean the apartment.

They also helped shovel Pochita's poop.

Even after Yuka, Hiroki, and Akutami Yuta finished their work for the first week, Ren invited them to chat for a while.

"How do you feel?" Ren asked the three with a smile. "I don't have much work here, do I?"

"Sensei... this place is very special," Yuka said, looking at Ren. "There are actually saved manuscripts. Sensei, you were so hardworking before...".

She mistakenly thought that Ren was the type who works hard all the time, which was why he had so many saved manuscripts.

Ren shook his head, "No, I've always been lazy, but I draw manga very quickly and can finish these tasks quickly by myself."

"The sensei is truly incredible..." said Hiroki, the only one of the three who has been a professional mangaka, with some emotion. "Before, I didn't even have saved manuscripts, and it was a problem to submit them on time."

"Haha, maybe I'm just lucky," Ren laughed. "You guys work hard too."

Being a traveler and the owner of the system is simply good luck.

"Sensei, it's not just luck," Yuka said seriously. "I've read your three works. The plots and settings are brilliant. You can create so many good settings and plot designs while completing the draft all by yourself. You're a genius."

"It's nothing."

Ren scratched his head. After all, he was just a plagiarist.

What do you need to think about the plot for? It's not necessary.

Just copy it.

"Actually, I want to ask you a question..." At that moment, Akutami Yuta raised his hand and asked. "I think the plots where you arrange character deaths are very good, but I don't quite understand them...".

"I think the deaths of Maine, Dolio, Rebecca, and Togata were quite sudden. Do you have any other intentions in arranging them this way?".

Ren reflected for a moment and then said, "I believe the death of a character should be meaningful and showcase their charm and climactic moments."

"But if too many death flags are presented, the character's death will be easy for fans to guess and accept, so it won't reach that climactic moment."

"That's why I prefer to plan their departure when the character's creation is almost complete, and then use death to complete their final creation."

Of course, he summarized this theory.

After all, whether it was Maine or Togata, they only completed their character creation upon dying.

Especially Maine, before he died and left, perhaps not everyone knew him well.

I just think he's a sophisticated cyberpunk and a qualified older brother.

But the death scene directly perfected Maine's characterization, turning him into the most exceptional brother in Night City.

The same goes for Togata. Before his death, everyone thought he was a person with gender identity disorder obsessed with movies.

But after dying, in exchange for Agni's survival, he became his best sister.

"Really?"

Yuka, Hiroki, and Akutami Yuta were pensive.

"Use death to show the final charm and essence of the character," Yuka muttered to herself.

"If there are too many death flags, it will be easy for manga fans to guess and accept them..." Hiroki noted.

"Use death... to complete the final formation of the character..." Akutami Yuta noted this phrase.

Ren saw the thoughtful looks on the three of them and also looked forward to it.

I hope his "teaching" will help them in their future careers as mangakas.

Perhaps... perhaps the outside world will consider him the master of three good mangakas?

This will also increase his fame to some extent, right?

Ren's eyes lit up, and he planned to teach Yuka, Hiroki, and Akutami Yuta well in the future.

...

Ren has recruited three new assistants, something the outside world shouldn't pay attention to.

The animation of Edgerunners continues to air on television, and Fire Punch has also become very popular thanks to word-of-mouth among fans.

Chainsaw Man is still in serialization...

Currently, it follows the last episode, where Denji insanely massacred the Eternity Devil and finally managed to escape.

However, the plot has rarely had a relatively quiet part.

"Welcome party?"

After leaving the strange hotel, Aki Hayakawa and Himeno sat in the alley and smoked together.

Fan Siwei watched this scene and suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Compared to the always depressing and serious plot of Fire Punch, Chainsaw Man seems much more fun and relaxed.

Seen this way, the plot of Chainsaw Man is more suited to the public.

Although the content is a bit vulgar, like touching breasts and other racy things.

"That's right! The people from Section 4 haven't gathered yet," said Himeno.

"Let's deepen our relationship and, while we're at it, solve some problems."

Then, fans learned that Koji Higashiyama and Hiroichi Arai, frightened by the hotel incident, announced their resignation. Himeno also planned to apologize to Denji; in the hotel, she almost hesitated and wanted to hand him over to the Eternity Devil. But thanks to Denji, not only did they defeat him, but they also snatched the piece of the Gun Devil's flesh. Finally, Himeno also talked about Makima.

"The strangest thing is that Makima is particularly concerned about Denji for some reason," she said.

"She used to be always on the move, but lately she's been staying in Tokyo. I think it's because of Denji?".

"Maybe she knows Denji's secret?".

However, she looked at Aki Hayakawa and silently took a drag from her cigarette after listening to her.

"How about we get her drunk and ask her?" Himeno finally asked, putting out the cigarette butt.
