[Kieran Shawn]: Uncle, have you ever lost your storyboard? Nora Scott felt something was off and sent a [?] over. [Kieran Shawn]: Our website has a new wasteland-themed work called "First Ruins", and its characters and direction are very similar to yours. [Kieran Shawn]: [link] [Kieran Shawn]: Why don’t you take a look? "First Ruins", UU, Sophie Scott... Connecting these three terms, Nora Scott realized something. She narrowed her eyes, remained calm, and opened the link without panic. It only updated two Chapters. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic world where surviving humans establish a new civilization, but technological advancements have been lost over years of apocalypse war, with very few surviving. The new civilization’s leaders retain some technology and form a team to protect humanity. The story unfolds with the protagonist team... It can be said that it overlaps more than eighty percent with Nora Scott’s new comic named "New World". The character overlap reaches one hundred percent. After reading it all in one go, Nora Scott roughly figured out the backstory. The creative overlap is so significant that even twins wouldn’t have such similarities. Besides, when she went to meet Henry Chapman that day with the storyboard, she left midway, giving Sophie Scott the chance to access it. No wonder Sophie Scott’s gaze would dodge subconsciously and show a guilty conscience whenever she met Nora afterward. Another message came on WeChat. [Kieran Shawn]: Do you see, have you been plagiarized? This editor, upon seeing her work, did not first question her about "plagiarism" but instead asked if she had lost her storyboard. How much trust does that show? [Z,]: Finished reading. [Z,]: It was indeed plagiarized. [Kieran Shawn]: I’ll call a meeting right now to discuss how to handle "First Ruins". Nora Scott chuckled coldly, her pupils reflecting an icy glare, and replied. [Z,]: No need to handle it. No need to handle it. These eight casual words embodied a calm and collected demeanor. Continuing to wait in the office for news, Kieran Shawn, restless like an ant on a hot pan, almost keeled over when he saw the reply. He typed frantically on the keyboard. [Kieran Shawn]: Uncle, you don’t have to worry about evidence; we can take our time with that! [Kieran Shawn]: Since this work is suspected of plagiarism, we’ll definitely handle it. [Kieran Shawn]: Our website is absolutely fair and just! [Kieran Shawn]: You don’t need to worry about online opinions. The people who’ve been with you trust your character, and they won’t doubt you. [Kieran Shawn]: Just by looking at your drafts, I can tell you’re the original! I’m sure others see the same! Kieran Shawn typed out a string of messages in one go and wanted to say more, but another package file was sent over. [Z,]: Take a look at this. Kieran Shawn was stunned. He didn’t seem to know anything, but at that moment he saw the file, his heart leaped into his throat, his nervous and excited state made his hands tremble, and his mouth went dry. The feeling of seeing hope and a turnaround when things seemed unresolved brought him an overwhelming sense of security. File name: "Base No. 9". While Kieran Shawn browsed the new file, Nora Scott strolled away to pour herself a glass of water. Upon returning, she found a new storyboard on the desk. She took a sip of water and leaned back in her chair, crossing her right leg over her left knee, her expression lazy and unhurriedly opened the storyboard. Rebellion, character setting." The story was set up with two lines from the very beginning. One was a line of justice dominated by defenders, and the other was a line of rebellion dominated by rebels. From the start, Nora Scott hadn’t finalized anything; thus, she prepared for both. Initially, "New World" was temporarily planned, but the storyboard became less satisfying as it progressed, so she stopped last week and took time to redraw a storyboard for the "Base No. 9" line. Originally, she was still undecided, but the appearance of "First Ruins" helped Nora make a decision. Nora patiently waited for a few minutes. [Kieran Shawn]: This is awesome! [Kieran Shawn]: It’s even more stunning than "Death Legend"! [Kieran Shawn]: I’m going to sing its praises! [Kieran Shawn]: This is within the same framework as "New World". So, have you decided to draw "Base No. 9" now? Moments later, Kieran Shawn probably calmed down a bit and returned to the topic. [Kieran Shawn]: I believe "Base No. 9" can be even more popular than "First Ruins", but are you really not going to hold them accountable? Plagiarism is intolerable. You might not care about one or two ideas, but tolerating plagiarism is not good for the industry’s atmosphere.
