Zhao Youyue did not expect that Ye Hai and Su Li would ask for her suggestions about the character design of âYu Shengfanâ, Su Li even wanted to take the reference from her appearance.
Of course, she rejected that idea without any hesitation, her personality was not even close to âYu Shengfanâ, and her appearance was not suitable too. These characters in anime were designed accordingly to their personality, except for unique iconic characters. Might as well just follow the tradition and strengthen the image in the readersâ impressions.
âBlonde twintail, lolita body, with cute canine teeth, thatâs what I thought about âYu Shengfanâ.â Zhao Youyue replied in the four-person QQ group chat, one of them was Ye Haiâs wife, Li Mengyao.
Rosemary had never described the characterâs appearance in details. He had only mentioned that âYu Shengfanâ is very beautiful, but never described her hairstyle or body. Because he had never expected that âYu Shengfanâ would become one of the main characters, an important and irreplaceable member of Lin Fengâs team.
âHmm, blonde twintail characters in anime would most likely be a tsundere ojousama[1], basically people would already know her personality from her appearance⌠Since everyone liked the moe, twintail, and tsundere traits, I think we can go with this idea.â Su Li was obviously humoring Lady Zhao, but she had pretended to be subjective towards the matter.
âLolita design would be great! A little girl with incredible hand movement speed and decent gaming skills, these traits are moe indeed! The audience will not be able to hate her insulting words too!â Rosemary happily agreed.
At first, Rosemary had imagined that âYu Shengfanâ would have the same appearance with âLady Zhaoâ in Su Liâs photos. As he gradually expanded the setting of âYu Shengfanâ in the novel, he realized her character was going further apart from âLady Zhaoâ. The readers never realized it because he had been describing her with words instead of portraits.
After hearing Zhao Youyueâs suggestion, he could easily be visualized a 3D âYu Shengfanâ since he too had watched a lot of animes. To him, the blonde-twintail image fit âLady Yu Shengfanâ perfectly.
Since she was mistaken as a âfat otakuâ in the novel, this rumor about her was the total opposite of her actual appearance, this would make the scene where she first met Lin Feng and Tang Yongkai one of the peaks in the novel.
Yu Shengfan was already showing her tsundere trait in the novel, like she would do everything just as Lin Feng told her though she claimed that she followed his orders solely to PK him.
She did this for something. She could not wait to PK Lin Feng.
Even though it appeared that Yu Shengfan despised her beaten foe, Tang Yongkai, she would insult him whenever she could, but she agreed to fight alongside him in a five versus five battle, she had actually treated him as a partner deep inside her heart.
Yu Shengfanâs âtsundereâ trait was not the typical exaggerated type under Rosemaryâs description. She did not say âIâm not doing this forâŚâ but her non-stop insults and disgusting words. She liked to hang out with Lin Feng and Tang Yongkai, and altogether they were called âThe three musketeersâ, wreaking havoc as they went around, and this would not make her feel lonely.
In the comments section of âThe Strongest Kingâ, fans from the love block had concluded Yu Shengfanâs moe points, these were talkative, abusive words and tsundere. Lin Feng is lucky because he was able to be acknowledged by this rich lady, who yearned for having true friends.
This might seemed lucky to an outsider but Lin Feng was in fact strong in game, even stronger than Yu Shengfan that had not fully reached her potential. He thought that games would not need any moral values from reality, as long as he was strong enough, he can do anything as long as it was not banned.
Lin Feng could overlook Yu Shengfanâs attitude problem, he had no problem with her insulting others for being a noob or having an ugly character⌠Even though Lin Feng never said it out loud like Yu Shengfan does, but he despised them even more in his mind.
Lin Feng was able to suppress âHoodlum Masterâ and âUnpleasant Rainâ with his skills and charisma, âShadow Rogueâ was also crowned as the âTerrifying Final Bossâ or âThe Super Villainâ because of his unscrupulous actions, such as killing without mercy and abusing his intelligence for his own benefits. To Lin Feng, power is everything in game!
