The first two chapters created a lot of suspense.
Miao Fang and Lu Yun couldn't put the comic down.
Even though it was exciting, the plot made Miao Fang and Lu Yun feel uneasy.
After a large number of refugees flooded into Wall Rose, a crisis emerged.
The humans in this world lived in a confined space.
The land was limited, needing to meet both living and farming needs.
Each area had a specific amount of food, just enough for the local population.
What happens when the population suddenly increases?
That's right, a food crisis.
No matter how much they saved, they couldn't provide enough food for the refugees, causing a food shortage for the residents within Wall Rose.
So, to ensure the food supply, many refugees were sent to reclaim land, but it didn't solve the food crisis.
Finally, the high-ups decided to send a large number of refugees into battle under the pretext of reclaiming Wall Maria!
Even the well-trained Survey Corps suffered heavy casualties against the giants, so what chance did ordinary people have?
Out of 250,000 civilians, only 100 survived!
This so-called reclamation battle was just sending people to their deaths!
"Sigh, the Porter's comic worlds are always so harsh on ordinary people."
"Yeah, if it's not witches destroying the world, it's monsters wrecking cities. Now we have giants eating people. Tsk."
They watched Armin cry into his hat and felt sad.
But this so-called reclamation battle also made Eren determined to join the military training camp and become a soldier!
When they saw Eren and the others put on their uniforms, Lu Yun couldn't wait to turn the page and see what happens in the training camp. However, the next page was a chapter of another comic by the Porter, "Naruto."
"That's it?"
"That's it!"
Their excitement and enthusiasm were suddenly pierced by those kunai.
At that moment, readers remembered the frustration of the Porter's cliffhangers...
At that moment, countless readers wanted to grab two watermelon knives and march from the Porter's company to his home!
What was wrong with this guy!?
Almost every comic was like this, ending at the most suspenseful part.
"Forget it, we're used to it."
They said in unison, sighing deeply, their discomfort and anticipation lingering.
So, they reread "Attack on Titan," discovering more details.
For instance, when Hannes took Eren away, Mikasa clutched her head, with flashes of images in her mind.
Could Mikasa be a reincarnator too?
The first two chapters were filled with many small foreshadowings.
This made them even more excited about the Porter's work!
…
Meanwhile, many readers online who had read the comic started discussing "Attack on Titan."
"Wow, I think the Porter's new work is a masterpiece! The foreshadowing at the beginning makes me eager to see what happens next!"
"Absolutely! And that gear that lets them fly around is so cool!"
"I can't keep reading. Maybe I'm too soft-hearted, but seeing people get eaten is too much for me."
"Tsk, then you're missing out on a lot of the Porter's masterpieces. His 'Fullmetal Alchemist' has eating scenes, 'Tokyo Ghoul' too, and even in 'Madoka Magica,' the senior gets eaten."
"Speaking of which, the beginning really made me curious. Is Eren from the future?"
"I think so. When he woke up, he wondered why Mikasa's hair was longer. Since her hair is long now, it suggests he's from the future."
"Right, and Eren's tears seemed like he remembered something tragic. The second chapter already showed the brutality of this world—Eren's mom died, and only 100 out of 250,000 people survived!"
"The more I think about it, the more annoyed I get. The Porter loves cliffhangers, leaving the key parts unfinished!"
"Forget that. I have to admit, 'Naruto' is getting good too!"
"Tsk, I'm not interested in that. What's so special about Sakura Nation's little ninjas? Our ancient assassins were way cooler. Ever heard of Jing Ke, Nie Zheng, or Zhuan Zhu?"
Despite such comments, "Naruto" was becoming as popular in this world as it was in Ren's previous life.
Though some people still didn't like it, its unique take on ninjas was drawing more readers.
Chapters five to ten of "Naruto" covered a simple mission where Kakashi's team had to escort Tazuna to the Land of Waves. They were attacked by ninjas, revealing the mission was more than just a C-rank escort task. To gain Kakashi's help, Tazuna explained why he only issued a C-rank mission with a casual attitude that left Naruto and readers speechless.
"Well, if you cancel the mission now, I'll be killed before I get home."
"Oh, it's no big deal. If I die, my cute eight-year-old granddaughter will cry every day."
"Ah, and my daughter will hate the Leaf Ninjas forever and live a lonely life."
"No, it's okay. It's not your fault..."
Readers couldn't help but comment.
"Wow, this guy is a scumbag."
"If it were me, I wouldn't help him!"
Despite this, Kakashi's team decided to continue the mission.
But soon after arriving in the Land of Waves, they were stopped by a man with a large sword.
Zabuza Momochi!
At the same time, Kakashi revealed the eye hidden under his forehead protector, a sinister eye with three tomoe—the Sharingan!
