Chapter 15 - Fame Scam! (1/2)

Chapter 15 – Fame Scam!

Aside from those disreputable websites, Xia Ping also chose to post on Gu Zhiwei, Bao Pitang, and some other erotic web novel masters’ blogs as well.

Both Gu Zhiwei and Bao Pitang were the leading authorities on erotic web novels and had written countless cla.s.sics with many fans. Just their blogs alone had more than thirty million followers.

It was almost certain for him to attract a lot of readers if he could make his posts popular on their blogs.

Therefore, Xia Ping once again immediately registered several troll accounts. One of them created a post stating: [The Reason Why n.o.body is Reading Master Gu Zhiwei’s Books Anymore.] The post seemed very fair and factual, but it would demean Master Gu Zhiwei’s works from time to time to the point where they seemed as if complete trash.

“I approve. Although I recognize Gu Zhiwei as an erotic web novel master of his times, but his works are too old-fas.h.i.+oned now. In today’s age, pretty n.o.body reads his stuff anymore. I just can’t understand what he is trying to write. It’s as if he is just writing all for himself,” another troll account commented, insulting Gu Zhiwei with all his might.

“I know right? Even if Gu Zhiwei personally started to write web novels again, aside from those hardcore fans of his, everybody else will just curse him to high heavens. Looking back on all his works now, I feel as if they’re all worse than that new erotic web novel, Teacher Bai Rong. At least worse by several centuries,” a third troll account subtly advertised.

“According to the rumours, Gu Zhiwei hasn’t completely stopped writing. Before, he also secretly wrote and uploaded another web novel under another pen name, but it failed. Almost n.o.body wanted to read it.” A fourth troll account began maliciously spreading false rumours, “At that time, he read a web novel call Teacher Bai Rong or something, and in the end he sighed about how the new waves pushed the old waves and how the old waves eventually die out on the sh.o.r.e. After crying an entire night over his own inferiority, he decided to fully stop writing. How sad, how tragic. A master of an age has fallen.”

“I’ll cry to your sister! You say it as if it’s really real!” Upon seeing this post, one fan immediately exploded from anger and quickly counterattacked, “Stop going around spreading fake rumours here! There isn’t any rumours of Gu Zhiwei using another pen name to write at all. He’s already someone in his late sixties to seventies, how could he have so much time to waste?”

“Shameless poster! Gu Zhiwei is the master of his times! Who knows how many people he has influence with his web novels? Even now, all of the erotic web novels follow his standard line of thought and can’t use anything new! They’re basically eating his sc.r.a.ps and leftovers. As for you a mere new writer, what do you understand? Make the master cry over his inferiority? How do you even have the face to say that?”

“Agreed! Master Gu Zhiwei is a peak-levelled web novel author with incredible influence! Even some of his web novels have been made into films with a box office income of more than several billion! Yet you still dare to slander and blacken his name?! Say you can’t understand?! Are you f.u.c.king blind?!”

“I apologize to the person above me. The poster crawled out from the mental asylum without first taking his medicine, so I’ll bring him back right now.”

“I’m sorry everybody, but the poster is my son. I hadn’t finished teaching him properly before he got out, so I really do have to apologize for giving birth to that barbecued pork face. If I knew ahead of time, I would have shot my load onto the wall instead.”

A group of Master Gu Zhiwei’s fans exploded. Not only did this poster maliciously slander Gu Zhiwei, the poster even said that after Gu Zhiwei saw a new person’s web novel, he cried over his inferiority! f.u.c.k his granny! How could somebody be so shameless? Even if you’re going to make stuff, you still shouldn’t go so far!

After they saw the poster’s words, all of the fans were furious and immediately posted their reb.u.t.tal to curse him. They wanted to curse him to the point where he couldn’t even lift up his head for the rest of his life! That he would be spat on by everybody when he went out!

In the end? After just half an hour, the amount of clicks that the post got exceeded one million while the amount of replies reached fifty eight thousand, directly bringing the post up to the number one spot on the blog.

Of course, most of the replies consisted of cursing the poster. At this point, they had already cursed all eighteen generations of the poster’s family.

Xia Ping’s troll account continued on to make a new post at this point. “Everybody, there’s no need for disbelief. The web novel Teacher Bai Rong is better than all of Gu Zhiwei’s works by a hundred times over. Complete overkill!” This post gave everything it got at praising Teacher Bai Rong while subtly blackening Gu Zhiwei’s works. As if they weren’t worth anything and was complete garbage.

“Go die! Just that web novel alone wants to overkill Master Gu Zhiwei?”

“Even dreams shouldn’t be done like this. Go take a look at Gu Zhiwei’s sales records before saying such words.”
