Author asks fans to stop telling her what to do
Yuu Tsurusaki, the author of the manga "Fantasy Bishoujo Juniku Oji-san to (Life With an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated Into a Total Fantasy Knockout)", has generated a stir on social networks after sharing a strong message on her Twitter account, aimed at a part of her fans who criticize her work in an unsatisfactory way. The author expressed frustration towards those who, instead of appreciating her work, use the comments to suggest how the story should have unfolded.
In his message, Tsurusaki wrote:
- "From time to time, in comments about the manga, I see opinions like 'I wish it was like this' or 'this would have been better.' Every time I see it, I feel like you should use that imagination to create something yourself! Don't waste it in the manga comments section, go and draw yourself! Draw!"
Tsurusaki's work has been acclaimed for its originality and unique approach, especially for a plot twist that became a trend at the time on social networks. This twist, which involved a change in the gender roles of the leading duo, surprised many readers, but also generated diverse opinions and criticisms. These reactions are likely related to the recent message from the author, who seems to be tired of the unsolicited expectations and suggestions of some of her followers.
Tsurusaki's message has resonated with many creators and readers, generating a variety of responses on Twitter. Below are some of the most prominent comments:
- "Thinking 'I would do it this way' is the beginning of creation."
- "I'm so sorry."
- "That's what doujinshi are for, and that's what Twitter is for."
- "This reminded me of what maestro Tite Kubo said."
- "And sometimes, it's not just one or two words. They let loose a long fantasy, and it already looks like a draft. It makes me want to tell them that this is already a script."
- "It's right... It's a more than correct opinion!"
- "But then people come out saying '○○ or my sister would do better than you.' Even if you ignore them, they take the idea away from you. We could not leave alone those who only give their opinion."
- "You could come as someone who writes novels."
- "There's a fear of being accused of plagiarism, but the thought of 'I'd do it like this!' or 'Why didn't they do it like that?' is a powerful force for creation. When you see a good work, it makes you want to create."
- "The talent to improve something existing and the talent to create something new are different."
- "That is true, but there are those who are satisfied with complementing it in their mind and do not manage to capture it."
- "If those comments were to request changes in the work, I would understand the annoyance. But if after reading, I post a personal critique and the author tells me 'if you have complaints, do it yourself,' it makes me want to say, 'Are you Hashimoto or what?'"
- "This is exactly why I think game developers should play other companies' games as well. Thinking 'I would do it like this' generates many ideas that can be applied in your own creation."
- "This is one of the foundations of creation, isn't it?"
