The rapid arrival of "Steel Forged" surprised many readers.

"Comic Future" used "Steel" to promote the app, and in a short period of time, the number of downloads of the manga increased dramatically, and readers also read more than 90% of the content of "Steel" for free from the app, and revisited the plot of "Steel".

For "Steel Forge", the most critical point of this event is that before the serialization of the 138th episode "Reversal of the Refining Array", the app released the comics of the first three words for free, which made readers familiar with the previous plot, reduced the strangeness of readers reading the new serial, and also made the popularity of the "Steel Forged" comics rebound at a very fast speed.

At the same time, with the help of the free gimmick of Steel, the app also attracted some readers - and others were dissuaded by the app's poor experience.

This time, even Shang Haozhi couldn't sit still, and personally recruited programmers at a high price to improve the experience of the APP as soon as possible.

He understands a truth, if you can't even do a good job of the app's UI and payment function, you have to compete with Duoman.com for the app comic market, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.

If you want readers to pay money, at least let readers be able to recharge at any time, right?

Cumbersome steps, delayed top-ups...... Unless it's true love, most readers won't pay for it, right?

As for "Steel Forge", Shen Xin used three words and nearly 100 pages to bring "Steel Forged" to the first place on the popularity list again. The sales of "Comic Future" also hovered around 4 million copies after the serialization of "Steel".

Duoman.com is also happy to see Shen Xin's strong return, because as Shen Xin further confirms his status, more and more people have begun to read the comic "Y's".

Of course, it is not realistic to let "Y's" catch up with "Age of the Gods" and "Sky Wolf" in a short period of time, and even if you want to catch up with Fu Bo's "Shengwu Academy", it is also difficult, but before the new serialization of "Y's" appears, maintain the appropriate popularity, at that time, Shen Xin's re-serialization, coupled with the film and television of "Y's", should be able to attract the attention of some readers.

In addition, as a die-hard fan of "Y's", Fu Bo did not forget to recommend this comic on his Weibo, and at the same time @Shen Xin's Weibo, hoping that he can re-serialize this comic, and waited for Shen Xin's reply with great anticipation. However......

After waiting for a week, Shen Xin still didn't @ him, nor did he send him a private message.

It was only when Fu Bo was extremely disappointed that he noticed that "Steel Refining" has been updated at 40+ pages in recent weeks.

He is also a cartoonist, and he knows very well how difficult it will be to update at this level, and it is estimated that even the time to drink water is squeezed out, and there should be no time for Weibo.

As a result, he lowered his expectations of getting a reply.

It would be nice if I could meet Mr. Shen one day.

Fu Bo thought silently in his heart.

His guess was not wrong, Shen Xin was indeed very busy at this time, on the one hand, he had to draw the comics of "Steel Forge", and on the other hand, he also had to take time to read some books related to reasoning.

To do this, he compressed the time it takes to draw the name and increased the speed of the outline.

The five assistants were also not allowed to be idle.

Zhang Ziyue's basic skills are very solid, and he can take over part of the background from Gao Hang's hands, which increases the drawing speed of the original manuscript by at least 1/3.

Liu Ruoxing joined the work of the assistant, because she was already good at "ComicStudio", and she was very familiar with the use of software Internet points.

At first, she was a little rusty in cooperation, but after getting used to each other, she gradually integrated into the whole group.

More than 40 pages a week, with the cooperation of six people, it was able to complete on time.

As the cooperation between the assistants became more and more tacit, everyone finally had free time and rest.

Wang Wenhong is also very busy, in addition to his own study, including buying consumables and paying utility bills, he is also responsible for all these contents.

The whole studio is like a running machine, running smoothly, which also makes the manuscript of "Steel Forge" always six more words than the serialized comics.

Yan Fei also became the busiest editor, in addition to discussing the plot of "Ding Shi" with Xi Muhan and retracting the manuscript of "Ding Shi", she was also responsible for the receipt and translation of "Steel Refinement".

At the same time, it had to communicate with "Shonen Leap" at any time, because the update of "Shonen Forged" suddenly doubled, and "Shonen Leap" had to move a comic to another magazine under its umbrella to set aside an extra 20 pages for "Shonen Leap".

Fortunately, the results of "Steelcore" have also stabilized in the top three on "Shonen Leap" after the reserialization, which can be regarded as blocking the mouths of some cartoonists.

After getting the new book sample of the 19th volume of "Steel Forge", Yan Fei hurriedly came to Shen Xin's studio.

In the studio, five assistants are drawing on the pen display, background, wiring, blackening, whitening, and dotting paper...... Every step is in order.

Yan Fei came to the second floor and saw Xi Muhan holding a cup of coffee, sitting in front of the computer screen, looking at the text on the document, and a stack of white paper on the desktop, which should be drawing the next name of "Ding Shi".

Yan Fei glanced around, didn't see Wang Wenhong, and said curiously: "Isn't Lao Wang here?" ”

"He? Went to study. Shen Xin raised his head, "This side is on the right track, and there is no need for him to stay here anymore." ”

"Also, if he stays here, he won't be able to help."

Shen Xin has a black line, fortunately Wang Wenhong is not here, otherwise, he would have to trouble Yan Fei.

"Sister Yan, you didn't come here to tease him on purpose, did you?" Shen Xin was puzzled.

"How can I have that time? Here's a sample of the new book, which will be released in two weeks. Yan Fei handed a comic with a black background to Shen Xin, "This time the first edition is only one million copies......

"A million copies?" When Xi Muhan heard this number, he said in a lost voice.

If it were any other manga, one million copies in the first edition would be an exaggerated number, but for Steelcore, it was definitely not much.

"It's not too much, but you also know what the state of the comic market has been in the recent past, and the sales of several latest volumes of comics are not very good. Although the historical results of "Steel Forge" are great, after all, it has not been serialized for such a long time, and in order to restore the popularity of "Steel Forged", 3/5 of the content of Volume 19 has been serialized on the app for free, and no one can be sure of the sales of the new book. Therefore, the magazine can only choose a more conservative number. ”

Shen Xin's head, this is indeed a problem, because chapters 135-137 have just been serialized on the app.

"Next, the app is preparing to update the manga of the 18th volume of "Steelcore...... Another point is that due to the recent increase in the number of updates of "Steel Forged", the next single volume will be released at the beginning of next month, and the first edition of volume 20 is tentatively set at 1 million copies, but the specific number still has to wait for the sales of the latest volume. ”

"I hope it's a big deal." Xi Muhan laughed dryly.

In any case, what determines the results of "Steel Forged" is the ranking of small books and the sales of single books.

Needless to say, there is really no other manga that can compare to "Steelcore" on "Comic Future", so the key point is in the manga sales of "Steelcore".

"By the way, Mr. Shen, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

"What?"

"A publisher in the United States is preparing to introduce the comics of "Steel". Yan Fei took a deep breath, "Congratulations." ”

"Huh?" Shen Xin stopped his pen and looked up at Yan Fei.

This news somewhat surprised him.
