I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

Scholar Wenyuan: In my opinion, given the author's behavior, what kind of upright people could possibly be his admirers?

Reader: Rebound.

Scholar Wenyuan: The words of a vulgar child are hardly fit for refined conversation!

Reader: Rebound.

Scholar Wenyuan: I #￥——+#@#!

Reader: Rebound.

No matter what "Scholar Wenyuan" says or how he makes veiled accusations, the readers only react with one word: "backlash".

I've successfully broken through their defenses for who knows how many times, and they've stopped replying.

Cheng Che laughed out loud when he saw this.

But as he laughed, his laughter faded—because he discovered that beneath the comments of the rational readers, a group of less rational fans had also joined the fray.

It's unclear whether these "die-hard fans" missed Cheng Che's morning live stream or watched it but didn't listen, but they just rushed over and started cursing.

A barrage of vulgar and offensive language came crashing down on him.

Even Cheng Che, a seasoned author in the online novel world, felt a bit of a toothache watching this, and even felt inexplicably sorry for "Scholar Wenyuan," this old freeloader.

More importantly, while it's somewhat understandable to only insult "Scholar Wenyuan," there are countless other comments here that also insult his family.

In comparison, a word that starts with the letters 's' and 'b' seems to be acting coquettishly here.

Rational fans who can listen to reason are beneficial.

Fans who might make these comments... are better off without.

We still need to take action... Cheng Che pondered for a moment, without dwelling too much on the comments section of "Scholar Wenyuan".

Since things have already come to this point, there's nothing he can do to salvage the situation; he can only try to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

He first logged into his Weibo account and wrote hundreds of words, urging his fans to value harmony and not to insult others for any reason if they were his fans.

After posting on Weibo, he moved on to the Chinese website, where he prepared to post a new chapter. Before posting, he specifically notified Bai Ye and obtained her consent.

Because the Chinese website is his home turf, Cheng Che's wording wasn't as euphemistic as it was on the Go blog... although his wording on the Go blog wasn't much more euphemistic either.

However, the new chapter he posted on the Chinese website was even more aggressive—

"notify:

I rarely communicate with readers in a serious tone, but this time I really need to be a little more serious.

Recently, I have seen many comments on websites and other social media platforms on the Internet that I personally believe are irrational, so I am making this statement.

I hope all readers can remain rational and refrain from hurling insults under any circumstances. Furthermore, please do not use your praise for me or "Dragon Raja" to belittle other people or novels.

Of course, I may not be able to control other places, but if I see any negative comments like praising one person while criticizing another on the website in the future, I have obtained permission from the editor-in-chief to permanently ban the accounts that make such comments.

We hope our readers can understand.

Addendum: It's not that I'm getting angrier the more I think about it, the worse it gets! Who gave you permission to praise me everywhere? When did you all fall to this level?

If you're not going to criticize me, then get lost! If no one criticizes me, then what am I supposed to do writing these novels about the marketplace?

above. "

After editing and clicking send, Cheng Che felt a sense of relief—speaking should not be so roundabout; expressing one's true feelings is the most comfortable thing to do!

The readers' internet speed is quite fast; the prize pool started accumulating very quickly after the announcement.

[666, it has to be Zero-ye, you are the best! I said this single chapter is divine, does anyone understand?]

[Wow, that's the fandom! This is the first time I've seen Zero Master's new chapter not start with "To my dear readers." A single move from fandom culture can be a lifetime commitment for us book fans!]

[That's right, that's right, we should be tougher, otherwise where does the emperor's dignity stand? The book review section has been a complete mess lately, I've been fed up with it for a long time!]

[Zero, we're not happy about you going into the entertainment industry, but we're very happy about how cleanly you've cut ties with fan culture.]

[Sobbing, I'm so touched! Where are we going to find another billionaire to mess around with after Zero? (tears welling up)...]

[Zero (crossed out), didn't Little Zero tell us to curse him? Since none of you are cursing him, then I will—Zero…you big idiot!]

"These lunatics..." Cheng Che was both annoyed and amused, and surprisingly a little touched.

What the official Chinese website account said in its live stream last time was actually correct. Now it seems that the website really is its "family"!

When the broadcast starts this afternoon, I'll ask Xiaotang to lift the ban on me from the Chinese website.

Don't say another word!

At 2 PM, Cheng Che started his broadcast as usual.

Instead of using sensational titles, the article now calls on fans to be more rational and work together to create a healthy online environment.

The chat was harmonious throughout the afternoon's live stream; almost all the comments were in support of Cheng Che, with hardly a single dissenting opinion.

Cheng Che was greatly pleased—it seemed that the vast majority of his fans were still rational.

Well... a few aren't that rational, but if they really like themselves, they should restrain themselves after seeing their own statement.

He continued writing—

The Kassel College's ace trio, rising stars in the host club world, whose stage names are Ukyo Tachibana, Barasa King, and Sakura, are about to stir up a storm in the host club scene...

The entire afternoon passed by calmly, like flowing water.

……

……

It was a little after 8 p.m.

Cheng Che finished his live stream for the day and had dinner.

I had just sat down on the sofa when I received a message from Xiaotang.

Xiao Tang: Brother Che, I have something to report to you.

Xiaotang: You're trending again. I find it a bit strange. You can check it out if you have time.

What the heck?

It's trending again?

Cheng Che frowned slightly.

Out of professional duty as an assistant, Xiaotang would notify him whenever she found him or related events trending on social media; he had received similar messages many times before.

But the problem is, he hasn't recorded any variety shows or released any new songs recently, and there haven't been any particularly exciting updates to "Dragon Raja." So what else could possibly make it to the trending topics?

He immediately opened the blog, and his question was answered—it turned out to be—

His appeal to readers to be rational online and not to engage in biased praise against one person became a trending topic today...

Although the level of popularity wasn't exaggerated, it still made it to the tail end of the trending topics list.

Cheng Che couldn't understand it at all.

Has Weibo gone mad? Or are there just too few funny things online lately? How come something like this is trending?

He clicked on it and found that many marketing accounts had taken screenshots of his post on the Chinese website and added captions such as "Cheng Che has such a positive outlook," "A rare clear-headed person on the internet," and "All those idol stars in the entertainment industry should learn from him"...

The comments below, whether from fans or casual observers, were unanimously supportive and praising.

Cheng Che was praised, but he didn't feel happy. Instead, the more he looked at it, the more his eyebrows furrowed.

If it's not redeemed, there's a problem.
