Chapter 28 (2/2)

Most of the men loves needy girls who stick around them. But the ones they actually admire were those who stood on their own and possessed a strong personality. The perseverance, endeavor, independence, tenacity, cool, demure and attentiveness of Xu Jing impressed countless male readers. But if “Xu Jing” ended up becoming one of the harem of the male protagonist, would she still bring up these qualities?

Su Li had never thought of this. She cared nothing more than the high popularity of Xu Jing at the moment. Besides, for a girl as popular as her to join the harem of the male protagonist was what every male readers would love to see. Only this would allow her work to gain popularity and finally be elevated to an anime successfully.

What a foolish thought. After all, Su Li was just a fresh blood from the Doujin manga world.

Actually, Zhao Youyue already went online and saw the great dispute among “Pure Romance” readers who read the latest chapter. They almost broke into two factions and fell into chaos. Weibo, bulletin board, forums and other social networks were their battlefields. This completely heated up “Pure Romance”, a harem manga which merely made a small fame. Of course, a lot of rubberneck chose to try out this manga, as they wanted to see what sorcery did this character “Xu Jing” wield to let so many readers fought over her.

This dispute was about Xu Jing, that whether she should be added into the harem of the male protagonist. Around sixty percent of readers thought that such amazing character like Xu Jing must be added into the harem rather than to present her upon somebody else.

In harem stories, “giving away the girl” is deadly!

Although there were still forty percent of readers who thought that a loser like the male protagonist did not qualify to add Goddess “Xu Jing” into his harem. It was as if he sullied their goddess!

How could someone allow her to become a mistress when she already had such a pitiful fate?

With so many girls lining in front, what queue number would she get if she became a mistress? Was she such a cheapskate to start fighting with those pretty-faced girls?

Couldn’t she find a faithful man?

Anyway if the male protagonist got Xu Jing into his harem, it would completely destroy such a character!

They strongly requested the mangaka to draw a side story featuring “Xu Jing” as the main character. No matter the story was just about her indulging in her studies, the various studying posture of hers, her hard works at doing housework, helping her mother to cook or her routine of taking care of her severely sick father, it would never be boresome for them!

They even thought of a name for the mangaka by calling it “To-aru Super Learning Tyrant of Pure Romance”[1]. Perhaps it would turn out to be more famous than the original.
