Chapter 1740: Why do the protagonists want Asahi?
"Ahem." Senxia cleared her throat.
The explosion of light reading is, to a certain extent, because mobile phone reading has begun to mature, and people have begun to read more and more interesting articles on mobile devices.
But before that, "Assasi" male protagonists were already very popular in the industry.
But no, it's galgame.
In galgames these days, most of the male protagonists don't have very distinct personalities. In order to allow players to get involved, these male protagonists don't even have faces, let alone any personalities.
And this also leads to the fact that these male protagonists are inexplicably liked by the heroines, and then they start to be "gentle" inexplicably.
The heroine often falls in love with the hero because she sees the "gentleness" of the hero that no one else can see.
This kind of criticism has actually been around for a long time. In "Fate/Stay Night", the protagonist Shirou Emiya is actually a rare creature. Very few galgames will set the main storyline of the story on the male protagonist, but Nasu
Mushrooms did this back then.
"Then, let the questions begin."
Senxia's words made everyone concentrate.
"We know that in galgame and some qingzhong, our male protagonist is often said by the female protagonist to be a 'Asasi (gentle)' person, so what is the real situation?" Senxia said, "Option a,
Because a gentle male protagonist can really make a heroine fall in love with her. Only a heroine can
Discover the valuable side of the male protagonist; option b, this kind of character is designed to please players and readers, but even the author doesn't know what the advantages of this kind of character are, so he just forces the heroine to like the 'gentleness' of the male protagonist; option
c. We are a peaceful country, and gentleness is the characteristic of neon gold."
"Then why bother asking? The answer is so obvious, right?" Qianjia said matter-of-factly.
"Yes, it must be b." Miss Dahe said.
"The answer is c." Qianjia said.
"Eh?" Miss Dahe glanced at Chika strangely.
"On the surface, b seems to be more in line with option, but that's only on the surface. In fact, it has something to do with the social atmosphere. It is precisely because everyone is looking forward to seeing this kind of waste-type protagonist, so the final value orientation will be biased towards this.
." Qianjia said.
"...Okay, that makes sense."
No wonder I am just an editor, while others are shareholders...
I see!
"But option b is not necessarily wrong." Qianjia said.
And Mori Xia turned her head and looked at Yukino: "Yukino, what do you think?"
"Eh? Me?"
Yukino tilted her head.
"I think the author's original intention should be option a."
Although option a seems very unreliable.
But if you think about it carefully, the author wants the heroine to discover the outstanding qualities of the hero. If you look at it this way, option a is indeed the most appropriate choice.
Nothing wrong.
Sen Xia also laughed, then he turned his head and continued to look at Xi Yan aside: "Hey, Xi Yan, what do you think?"
After Xi Yan handed over the drink, she stood beside her with her eyes slightly closed, as if she was concentrating. After hearing Sen Xia's words, she opened her eyes and asked: "Master, if it is not an option among the options,
Is that okay too?”
"Ah, no problem." After hearing Xiyan's words, Senxia was also curious about what Xiyan had in mind.
"Then my answer is option d, because of the author's laziness."
"Sloth, laziness?" When Miss Dahe next to her heard this, she seemed to think this question was quite strange, but as an editor's instinct, she suddenly discovered that this statement did seem to have some truth.
"Hi." Xiyan said, "Because such a character does not require much cost to create. The author can concentrate on the creation of the female character and the text. Even if the male character is perfectly created, for the audience,
They may not necessarily notice this. Because of this, it is better to just fit it into the template than to spend all the effort to create a male character with little feedback, and it can also be called 'enhancing the sense of substitution'."
"It makes sense." Senxia sighed, "Indeed, creating male characters is often a thankless task. It is inevitable that many authors want to skip classes."
But precisely because of this, few works of this kind can succeed because the author is too lazy.
Works with male characters with distinctive personalities can stand out from the crowd. This is often not just because of the male characters, but also because the authors have the intention to depict these male characters, which also shows that they are "not lazy".
For example, "A Certain Magical Index", the male protagonist of this book, Kamijou Touma, is one of those rare "if I were a girl, I would also like him" types.
Another example is the protagonist of "My Youthful Love Story, There's Something Wrong", Hachiman O-sensei. Well, it's Hikigaya Hachiman, and he's also an impressive protagonist. Many readers expressed their "feeling for O-sensei" and so on.
There is also Futaro Uesugi, the protagonist of "Fifth Half of the Flower Marriage", who was complained about, "My cabbage was eaten by five pigs" and so on.
In addition, let alone works such as "Fate/Stay Night" where "the male protagonist is the female protagonist".
Works with distinctive male protagonists may not necessarily be the best, but they must be very impressive.
"The author's original intention was option a, but because of laziness, their action was option d. The reason for making this template is because of the social atmosphere, which is option c, and then for the convenience of making the heroine like this
The protagonist is in a social atmosphere, so I can only use option b..."
Senxia made a summary.
"Well, after all, this is the world in the work." Qianjia said, "The possibility of it happening in reality is unlikely."
"Yes, compared to that type, I think Teacher Xia Sen's works are more authentic!" Miss Dahe looked at Mori Xia with burning eyes, "It's as if she had really done it herself."
I'm not! I didn't!
Morika glanced at the malicious Chika and the smiling Yukino, but he resolutely did not speak.
Ms. Taiga probably also realized that it was more subtle to use the term "real experience" for a girl in recent months, so she changed the term.
"For example, in the world of "En no Sora", the bitter love between the Kasugano brothers and sisters is really great."
"That one is also fake." Senxia shook her head.
"Eh?"
"Reality is impossible." Senxia said.
"The reality is..."
"Reality." Sen Xia stood up, walked to the window sill, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, touched his face, and said, "Reality means -"
"--handsome."
Then, he was kicked over by Qianjia.
