With two consecutive game becoming massive hits, Maeda Jun was propelled onto a new pedestal.
After experiencing CL, countless players already had a faint feeling that the Author of this script truly had something special.
Later on, they would realize that combining LL with CL, Maeda Jun was more than worthy of being deified.
"I found that after CL and LL merged, it not only compensated for players' regrets but also made the game complete and perfect for each other, while also shaping the ultimate image of a god-tier script Author like Maeda Jun."
"Yes, the talent to write CL and LL is truly outrageous. Moreover, the writing is delicate, full of life, and it is precisely this delicacy and realism that moves people."
"Written as CL, read as life, it's not just an advertising slogan. The game truly perfectly interprets this point, and with the release of LL later, it directly sent Maeda Jun soaring. This new Author from pokeni is simply too terrifying."
"Actually, in August, when I was playing CL, I already had a faint feeling that this Author was incredibly strong.
And it was completely unexpected; it seemed similar to other galgame on the market, but the core was vastly different.
Especially in CL, falling in love with Nagisa was one thing, but then quickly moving in together, getting married, and having children completely exceeded the normal scope of a galgame.
Before this, I was attracted by the interactions between various characters and the interesting and funny plot in the game.
After this, the game took a dramatic turn, accelerating downward, no longer just a game, but a real life, and it left you so moved after experiencing it that you even wanted to kill this script Author.
Maeda Jun's tearjerkers are truly terrifying.
I had already experienced it in Quilt Man, and in CL, he brought it to its fullest extent.
After CL ended, Maeda Jun could already be considered the most excellent game script writer.
And then LL came with another bombardment, directly sending Maeda Jun to the altar.
This new Author is too terrifying; he can truly make you experience a real life in the game, and after shedding tears, you still cherish and yearn for this world immensely.
Full of endless motivation for the future.
Such an Author can no longer be simply described as a genius, can he?
"To be able to write such a profound life, Maeda Jun couldn't possibly be an old man with rich life experiences, or even a tragic past, could he?"
"Have you ever thought that although Maeda Jun is very powerful, the Producer of these two game is Furuhara Tsubaki-sensei? It might be because Old Thief Furuhara is too powerful, which allowed Maeda Jun to improve so quickly, just like how Gen Urobuchi also ascended to the script Author's altar under Old Thief Furuhara's guidance back then."
"Mmm, this possibility still exists."
"So Old Thief Furuhara is 50 or 60 years old, right? No wonder this person wanted to retire before; I didn't quite understand it then, but now I finally do."
"Hahaha... are you guys being too mean? Is it that hard to admit someone else's excellence?"
"One can only say that pokeni has found a treasure this time, right? After Gen Urobuchi, another genius Author like Maeda Jun has appeared. And I see that many of the background music and lyrics in the game are also produced by Maeda Jun."
"Huh? Really?"
"Not just the music, if you observe carefully, you'll find that some of the original art and character designs in Quilt Man, CL, and LL are also from Maeda Jun's hand. That is to say, this guy not only writes scripts with divine skill but also possesses talent in drawing and music. It's too terrifying; there's actually such a genius in the world."
"From this perspective, Maeda Jun has both depth and breadth; his skill points are completely maxed out."
"More than maxed out, he's practically a genius born for game."
In short, when CL and LL, this pair of twin game, were released and successfully seized the spotlight to become the hottest game, Maeda Jun was also praised to the heavens by players.
Many players and game companies also deeply understood the value of this young man, Maeda Jun, at this time.
Especially industry practitioners, who are now stunned by pokeni's several game products and President Aoki Haruhi's courage to boldly employ new talent.
One Furuhara Tsubaki was enough to ensure President Aoki Haruhi's wealth for life, then Gen Urobuchi appeared, and then after only a few years, Maeda Jun came along.
Pokeni's talents are springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
They now don't know whether these people were originally geniuses, or if pokeni has some magical training method that can turn these newcomers into geniuses one by one.
If there were only one or two, it might still be a coincidence.
But by the time it comes to Maeda Jun, it's very difficult to believe it's a coincidence anymore.
Even if it is a coincidence, it is enough to show that President Aoki Haruhi of pokeni has extraordinary vision and first-class ability to recognize talent.
Regardless of what level this person could achieve in original art before, just the ability to recognize and employ talent is top-tier in the industry and also the most rare.
This gives pokeni the initial foundation for success.
No wonder this small company could advance triumphantly and develop to its current state.
No wonder President Aoki Haruhi had the courage to remain unfazed when facing Nintendo's blockade back then.
In short, pokeni's game made everyone realize the terrifying aspect of this company, and at the same time, it made Maeda Jun a new great god of script Authors. Countless players highly praised him, even believing that Maeda Jun had surpassed Gen Urobuchi and already possessed considerable skill in game script production.
CL and LL are not just game, but life itself, and after experiencing them, after enduring countless pains, they still guide people forward.
This core strength is truly terrifying.
"Congratulations, Maeda-san, you've become a truly remarkable script Author in the hearts of players," Sakata Taiji, the art director sitting opposite Maeda Jun, said with a smile while looking at forum comments.
"Yes, Maeda-san, look at this one—Maeda Jun is definitely the most talented script Author I have ever seen. As soon as he debuted, he was able to create heartwarming works like 'Quilt Man.'
His subsequent CL and LL catapulted him to instant greatness.
I can't think of anyone else who can do what Maeda Jun did, debuting as a great god."
These colleagues' praises for Maeda Jun were heartfelt; after all, with Maeda Jun becoming a god, everyone felt honored.
This means that game with Maeda Jun as the script Author in the future will have a great guarantee in terms of initial anticipation and basic sales.
It's like how celebrities play a role in carrying box office sales.
"Oh, please, don't flatter me so much."
After reading these online comments, Maeda Jun's cheeks flushed red.
He repeatedly waved his hands, indicating that he truly dared not accept everyone's praise.
Despite being praised so highly, Maeda Jun himself was very clear in his heart that all of this was actually President Aoki's credit.
He could only claim a portion of the praise because only LL was his own creation, while the script outline for CL came from President Aoki.
At the same time, he was also his life mentor on his game journey, Furuhara Tsubaki-sensei.
He did write the LL script, but it was also modified under Furuhara Tsubaki-sensei's guidance.
Because before this, Maeda Jun himself relied entirely on imagination for things like family affection and family; whether it was life experience or a deep understanding of real father-daughter relationships, he lacked it.
Fortunately, Furuhara Tsubaki-sensei guided him to truly experience and understand life.
Otherwise, there would be no LL script.
And the most crucial part of this was the decision made by President Aoki at that time—to make LL and CL shadows of each other, complementing each other and being each other's mirror image.
If not for this central idea, Maeda Jun estimated that he himself might have gone astray.
Even if it hadn't been completely unrecognizable, it certainly wouldn't have received such high praise and excellent results.
Of course, he was still happy.
Who wouldn't be happy when praised to the heavens?
Moreover, Maeda Jun was still a particularly unconfident new Author.
However, Maeda Jun's face was beaming, and he was joyful inside, yet he still repeatedly waved his hands.
"Oh no, no, actually, all of this is President Aoki's credit; he directed it well. Furuhara Tsubaki-sensei's skill is high enough."
Everyone laughed repeatedly:
"Maeda, you're too humble. Although it's true that the Producer is President Aoki, the fact that he can confidently entrust the script to you means he recognizes your ability.
And from the results, it's quite remarkable."
For a time, the company was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Only Urobuchi, sitting next to Maeda Jun, had a somewhat bitter smile.
This matter stimulated Urobuchi Gen greatly.
Because CL and LL were excellent enough that when he himself saw the script, he would be deeply moved, and when he truly experienced the game, even if he tried to hold back countless times, he still cried like an idiot at home.
For an Author, self-esteem would certainly be greatly challenged by this.
At the same time, Gen Urobuchi's inner self also suffered a great impact.
Just think, as a fellow script Author, he already knew all the writing routines, knew that the foreshadowing was to prepare for the explosion of tear ducts later.
He also knew the plot direction of the script.
Under such circumstances, he was still bombarded beyond recognition, with tears flowing like a burst dam.
This is enough to show how high Maeda Jun's standard is.
How could Gen Urobuchi not be stimulated?!
Although stimulated, he didn't feel an ounce of jealousy towards Maeda Jun; instead, he secretly resolved to write a game work better than Maeda Jun's.
So, although he could genuinely bless and be happy for Maeda Jun's success, Urobuchi Gen had a strong drive brewing inside him.
After returning home from work, he began to burn the midnight oil, reading extensively, hoping to concoct an even more powerful game plot.
"How can one make tears burst out like a bomb unexpectedly?"
Gen Urobuchi wrote and drew in his notebook.
Although he was stimulated, it was just stimulation; he hadn't yet formed concrete, complete inspiration.
This couldn't help but make him feel a little troubled.
He picked up his pen and after a long time, there were only some scattered keywords on the paper.
He probably jotted down whatever flashed into his mind, but there was no thread to connect these fragments.
"Ah damn it why is it like this?"
Gen Urobuchi was so anxious he just grabbed his hair.
"Urobuchi, oh Urobuchi, you used to have a fountain of ideas, why can't you write anything now?"
Urobuchi was in pain.
After more than a week of holding it in, Gen Urobuchi handed his new game script, [lost], to President Aoki.
"Huh?"
President Aoki looked up and glanced.
This guy's eyes were red, and his dark circles were heavy; it was clear he had stayed up countless nights writing it.
"Shouldn't your work focus be on the witcher 2 script creation? How do you have time to dabble in other things?"
Although President Aoki said that, he was still full of anticipation for Urobuchi Gen.
So he eagerly opened the [lost] script and began to read.
After only two chapters, President Aoki realized something was wrong.
Because this guy, Gen Urobuchi, had completely gone astray.
Why write about family affection and family stories, and from the very beginning, create an atmosphere of impending tragedy?
The female protagonist is going to die.
The daughter is also going to die.
All these people are going to die.
He flipped to the last page.
Sure enough, they all died.
"Uh..."
President Aoki closed the script with difficulty.
"Urobuchi Gen, no, Urobuchi," he sighed heavily.
"Your strengths are not here. Although these works by Maeda Jun can achieve..."
"Pokeni is a company that expects everyone to follow their own path and leverage their own strengths. If you work in this direction, then you've gone astray."
Gen Urobuchi frowned, a little puzzled.
"Then what path should I take?"
"Urobuchi, do you know, you have your own unique advantages and talents, the key is whether you can use them well."
President Aoki leaned into his ear, "Quack quack..."
"Eh?!"
Urobuchi Gen himself was shocked, "Really?"
"Mm-hmm. That's how it is." President Aoki nodded solemnly.
"Oh, by the way," President Aoki suddenly remembered something and recommended to Urobuchi Gen, "There's a very popular manga recently called 'berserk.' Go check it out. And let Miyazaki Hidetaka take a look too."
"berserk?"
Urobuchi Gen indicated that this was not something that had become popular recently; it had been popular for many years, hadn't it?
However, the recent plot was indeed somewhat indescribable; although it was heartbreaking, it elevated the entire manga to an unprecedented height.
Thinking about it, it seemed that berserk was very close to his previous creative philosophy.
At least from Urobuchi's perspective, one cannot grow without experiencing unforgettable pain, and time and love are eternal—this is also what he had been pursuing and learning from Furuhara Tsubaki-sensei.
Now Furuhara Tsubaki himself recommended 'berserk,' a manga with a similar style, which indicated that this manga must have its own value.
But...
Why drag that guy Miyazaki Hidetaka into it?
Gen Urobuchi didn't think too much and humbly replied, "Oh, okay, President Aoki."
"Mm, I believe you will gain more insights after reading berserk. I believe you will write an extraordinary work for the next game!"
Look, this is the President Aoki's vision.
He didn't abandon the old for the new; he didn't forget himself after getting Maeda Jun; instead, he was full of anticipation for him.
Gen Urobuchi's burning heart was immediately ignited, only this time the internal motivation was even stronger.
"Thank you, President Aoki! I will definitely work hard and write even better works!"
"I will not let you down!"
