After finishing the book, Li Wei decided to ask Helen about it first.
Maybe she didn't like this book?
"Unforgiven Love?"
At Li Wei's question, Helen abandoned her usual calm, composed demeanor as a young lady of good breeding, her eyes lighting up.
"Will Ms. Matilda let me adapt this novel?"
We're doomed.
"Hmm... looks like you really like this book?"
"Of course, Sir Li Wei! The tangled love and hatred between the two protagonists, and that poor woman caught between them-did she ever find the love she wanted in the end? When this book first came out, its bold premise caused quite a stir! It was hailed as an epoch-making romance novel!"
More like a thriller.
"Then you and Miss Matilda can discuss the details. Don't forget to draw the character designs and show them to her first."
"No problem. Leave it to me!"
Seeing how confidently Helen promised, Li Wei sighed inwardly.
Is this really right?
But on second thought, thrillers and horror were major comic genres too. What was strange about that? There were even comics that combined comedy and horror.
"But there's one thing you need to watch out for."
Li Wei decided to give Helen a few more words of advice.
"This magazine is aimed at all ages, so children will read it too. Don't go overboard in certain scenes, particularly intimacy and violence. Avoid too much detail, or we might get into trouble."
"I'll keep that in mind."
Well, let's hope she really does.
While everything was going smoothly at Li Wei's comics studio, the Empire's military equipment reforms were also in full swing. Li Wei attended briefings in his spare time as well. All three hundred thousand troops of the Empire's First Expeditionary Army had now been equipped with new, improved powered armor.
