Chapter 144 (1/2)

Let the truth speak for itself

The situation could not be any more awkward when the emcee threw that question out. However, the fans who were watching the interview were overjoyed. They kept spamming the sentences “Rosemary, thief”, “Give me back Little fish” to create a bullet curtain on the screen. It showed that everyone was pretty upset and held grudges against Rosemary for killing off the character Yu Shengfan.

Ye Hai scratched his head nervously while telling the truth, “Didn’t I mention before that this character Yu Shengfan came to life in my writings? At one point, I realized that I could not proceed, because her soul had vanished. Moreover, I could only write in such a way in order to develop the story further. I did not want to destroy the character by half-*ssing and forcing something out, because l loved her that much”

“So, is that why you murdered the character?” The emcee asked abruptly. Apparently, the emcee was also a fan of little fish.

“Please do not put it that way. I did let her live on in the hearts of the readers, didn’t I?” Ye Hai replied with a guilty conscience.

Ye Hai had simply used the explanation of further developing the story to push away the responsibility. Actually, he had wanted to kill the character Yu Shengfan off anyway. He had no choice but to do so, having lost his source of inspiration. However, he had created grandiose reasons and the importance of killing the character Yu Shengfan to fool the readers. One of it, was for Lin Feng to develop as a character and to develop the story.

Ye Hai was indeed a sly fox, one who was very experienced in deception. Compared to Su Li who was cute and stupid, he was truly a master.

Right now, it was the emcee who was stunned because he had never seen such a reason

At that moment, many shameless people started to create a bullet curtain. A lot of readers knew that Rosemary was going to bear the title of a thief, for sure. The influence he created by killing the character Yu Shengfan was no less than the influence of another author who killed the character “Uesugi Erii” from another world.

Besides, the reason for Rosemary killing a character off just because he did not want to destroy its image, would soon become an iconic excuse. He loved her too much, hence he had to kill her off. This could be compared to the trick Urobuchi Gen applied in “Love Warriors”.

Ye Hai continued to say shamelessly, “As for my cutest, prettiest female reader, she chose to forgive me. Even though I killed her cameo character, I managed to write her requested cameo to the level of a female lead by giving her extra scenes in the story. That’s right; I did consider letting Yu Shengfan be the female protagonist because she matched well with Lin Feng. They are the only characters who understand each other the most in my novel.”

“Then, why you didn’t let her be the female protagonist in the end? Can I say that you are agreeing with the Fujoshi readers? After all, they are more willing to see a brotherhood of two male characters, instead of a love story between the male and female protagonist.”

“It’s not like that. In my opinion, those who love my novel are my readers; regardless of them being Otaku or Fujoshi readers. The reason of her not being the female protagonist is because I am not very good at writing romance. Besides, I have found a trick to creating a female character.”

“Oh? Can you share the trick with all of us, Rosemary Sensei?”

“That is not a problem. Actually, it was that gorgeous reader who gave me this trick. As I quote, ‘since you are so good with male characters, all you have to do is to describe a male character and change the sex to female’. For instance, there is this beautiful, moe female character in a comic, only for me to insist that she is a boy. If I use the same method to describe a female character without any love scenes, then I can portray a similar yet still amazing female character.”
