Bab 550: Chapter 321: Are You Happy? (Part 1)_1

Liuzi felt a bit down today.

His previous serial had ended, and although his editor kept saying his manga was still on the rise, the standalone volume sales were good, the second season of the anime was on the schedule, and everything seemed to be improving steadily.

However, he felt his inspiration slipping away, and the follow-up plots increasingly relied on old tactics rather than innovation.

New characters were being introduced in increasing numbers, but their characterizations were becoming indistinguishable. Although his work still ranked high and reader feedback was still positive, his editor even calling it one of the rare romantic pillars of "DUMP" this year, he no longer had the passion he used to.

This was the syndrome of a long-running series, after all, an author's inspiration doesn't just materialize out of thin air, and his virgin self had exhausted his fantasies about romance, truly drained to the last drop.
