Question Do CN Novel Authors actually take part in drawing/scripting for the Comic version?

Discussions on Baidu says otherwise,

1. Most CN authors like Mad Snail can't draw (and can't afford an illustrator to even draw a cover and character notes for them) and you don't really need the original author to summarize the chapters into shorter scripts/textboxes.
2. The publisher only needs consent from the original CN author.
3. Then a team(on cheap budget usually) skims through the chapters and tries to extract whatever that they think is visually appealing for the comic version.
4. Usually 90% of the original text will be skipped.
5. Explanation of cultivation jargon will be thrown as "author notes" (but they are not written by the original author but instead by the comic team).
6. Depending on terms of the contract, original author (and even the comic team) usually gets peanuts.
7. It is highly possible that the comic version might differ (or even stray off and deviate) from the original Novel text entirely because *censorship* and *selective content* exists.
8. Typical changes(deviations) would include changing MC to an androgynous-Shota or androgynous-EMOdude and/or turning female waifu into a loli.
9. For example, the 1st failed version of PMG(Peerless Martial God) comic version had MC turned into an androgynous-Shota, while the 2nd later version of PMG(Peerless Martial God) turned MC into an androgynous-EMOdude.

 

This would explain quite a lot actually.

 

I don't think they do because many plot points are thrown out or changed, even characters will be much different than author originally portrayed them. Gender changes, age changes, personality changes. BTTH old guy that travels with him got turned into a little shota, LLS the little fatty looked ridiculous.

 

You would think publishers would have learned by now. Always stick with the original when it comes to the major parts of a story.

 

Apparently, by demographics, the paying-readers are mostly young children or young teens or gasp overaged lolicons or shotacons.

 

If they did, Grandpa Doehring wouldn't have turned into a hot female.

 

Nope.
If they're not skilled in drawing certain things; I wouldn't be surprised if they tweaked designs and scenes to make it work for their style.

 

Pfft.
