As Bruce wondered what Aiden was doing here and was starstruck, seeing a celebrity for the first time in his life, Aiden was going through his comic.
He had gotten bored from the meeting and excused himself, saying he needed to go to the bathroom. Anyway, it was a meeting without much reason—a simple meet and greet.
Gravity Media would only have used him when they started working on the movie.
Instead of these thoughts, he focused on the comic.
Although the name was silly and wacky, Aiden felt like the art was the best part of the comic. He could clearly see that Bruce had only achieved this level of mastery after working on his art for years.
That was the thing that attracted him the most.
As he went through the story, he noticed a few inconsistencies, and the characters felt like cliches coming to fruition.
For example, the bully character was just shown as a dumb, burly guy who was bullying the main character because he was the ex of his current girlfriend.
He felt like it was a bad reason as it just displayed the insecurities of the bully guy and just didn't seem like something that could have been more.
Moreover, one more thing that Aiden didn't like was that the main character mastered his powers too quickly, it just took him one try, and he knew everything about it.
That was never fun.
That way, although the main character became very overpowered from the start, the author just killed any chances of growth happening.
Aiden was a fan of overpowered main characters, especially a certain bald guy. But even those have backstories where they have trained very hard.
The way the comic went was just too lazy.
Though he did like many things in the novel, including character backgrounds and powers, the choices of characters and other things just killed any excitement of him desiring to read further.
'Ah, the main character could be much better. Something great.'
He thought in his mind as he flipped the last page to end the comic.
"How, how was it?"
Bruce asked as Aiden put down the novel. He was curious about his views on it.
"I liked it."
"Really?"
"Yeah, it's enjoyable, but I feel like it could be much more. The central idea is good enough, but it's just… it feels wasted."
Aiden replied honestly.
Bruce frowned hearing that. Was his novel really that bad? Was he not a good story writer? Or was he just missing something?
"Can you tell me how it feels wasted?"
"I feel like you could do a lot with it. I feel like the story could have gone to a much more serious and bigger place than just revenge on bullies. The story just feels like a lot of talent that was never used. Having potential is great, but you need to know how to use it."
Aiden finished his words, leaving Bruce to his thoughts. At that moment, Wade walked in from the hallway and looked around, his eyes landing on Aiden.
"Aiden, the meeting is over. Let's go."
"Okay."
Aiden put down the comic as Wade appeared.
"I need to go now. Nice meeting you."
Aiden said and stood up.
"Yeah, bye."
Bruce still had a lot of questions in his mind and wanted to stop him, but nothing came out of his mouth. Aiden walked towards the elevator with Wade and left while Bruce just picked up his comic and other documents.
'What am I going to do now?'
***
After reaching home, Aiden spent his time browsing his phone and reading a few web novels. There was no session with Dr Penny today, so he was mostly free.
He also read up on what was going on in Hollywood.
Unlike other Hollywood celebrities, he seldom went to parties and didn't live in LA, which was practically the heart of Hollywood.
He was also not friends with many celebs and only talked to the people he had worked with.
It was mainly due to him keeping Hollywood as the place he worked and not living. He wanted to separate his personal life, being much more of a loner than an average Hollywood person.
There were a few interesting headlines that caught his eye.
