272 Behold Him! (1/2)
No one was giving in to anyone, and no one could persuade anyone. Everyone came and went in a rather hostile manner.
Even the book review's administrator could not keep up with deleting everything.
Just then, a person who claimed to be a literary critic began to comment on Celestial Bane:
[The achievements of this book are indeed eye-catching and it is also making a hefty sum. However, all those online websites as well as the so-called internet must pay attention! We cannot just look at the interests at hand; we must do something for the future of our nation and its people! These substance-lacking things will only consume the time and energy of our current teenagers. It will affect our children's learning and is considered cannibalism of our national spirit. We must protest it seriously!
To the author, please search your conscience. Would it not be painful to hurt our teenagers? Please step away from your pen immediately and stop writing!]
That sentence once posted, received a lot of direct attention and naturally elicited another wave of comments.
[F*CK! Where did this stupid c*nt come out from? All that claptrap just to please the crowd]
[He even wants the author to put down his pen? Why is he not dead already?]
[I'm gonna laugh to death! Doesn't the author need to make a living? You want him to put away his pen so he can support you? Why not just ban people from reading the Four Classic Books, watching TV series, and playing games? IDIOTIC C*NT!]
[Celestial Bane does not have any elements of pornography. This is a good thing. Celestial Bane is spiritual food!]
[Sorry everyone, I didn't chain my dog well. Sorry it escaped to bark at you and disturb you.]
...
Countless readers were looking forward to Celestial Bane's update, yet people were asking the author to put away his pen, which became the subject of criticism!
However, the opinions in support of those reviewers began to increase gradually.
Someone posted the comments section of Celestial Bane onto Weibo. It shot up the trending searches and laid out the controversial topic in full view of the public.
[I support the banning of this book! This kind of author is a tumor and should be jailed!]
[F*ck! That's just the kind of thing that made my son refuse to study before his college entrance exam. This is the bane of our life!]
[My son holds his mobile phone and watches these things every day. I'm begging the country to stop these kinds of work!]
[Upstairs, are your brains being short-circuited? Your children will continue to play with other things even if they don't read this. Are you motherf*cking kidding yourself right now?]
[Even the writer's associations came forward and said that this book is terrible! Ban it! Don't lead my children down the wrong path!]
[They're students of Capital University too! I urge the school to expel them!]
[Leave the literary world!]
...
Those showing the most resistance were usually parents. Swayed by individuals from the writers association, many parents began firing shots and complaining without trying to distinguish between right and wrong.
Although there were also a large number of readers who supported Celestial Bane, they soon disappeared under the siege of parents who came from all walks of life.
Ye Lingchen frowned deeply as he looked at the comments that got more and more out of hand.
That kind of trending search was purely negative, and it was probably cooked by those bunch of people from the classic literature. They wanted to harness the strength of the masses to remove Ye Lingchen's presence.
Such negative news was extremely disappointing and would have a great impact on his future popularity. The mood that he so painstakingly constructed was brought down by those slanderous classical writers and poets.
