Chapter 143 (1/2)

There can be no Yu Shengfan IRL (In Real Life)!

The news of “The Strongest King” releasing an anime adaptation had spread out, due to the sheer popularity of the novel. Of course, the original author, Rosemary had gained a tremendous amount of fame, gaining countless of fans.

Many people had clicked on the video of his interview on Tencent Video. Watching his interview while reading the comments on the bullet curtain was certainly interesting.

When Ye Hai, a chubby uncle appeared on screen, the tone of the comments took a turn!

“Who is this fat otaku? Return my goddess author!”

“Am I seeing a fake Rosemary…?”

“Curse you Rosemary, return my Yu Shengfan!”

“That thick-skinned old sly Rosemary is getting interviewed? Watch me avenge Unpleasant Rain!”

“Upload this video to Bilibili website, let the fans of Xiao Yu bash that old sly Rosemary up…”

The actual appearance of Rosemary had surprised a lot of readers, where was the promised “Goddess” author, that image of a young, intelligent looking girl?

Who the heck is this side character uncle who was in his mid-thirties?

Of course, Ye Hai was just chubby, at least he was not a “fat otaku”. He was a lifetime winner as well, having married his first love. They were still lovey-dovey to date.

Undoubtedly, most of the distraught comments in the bullet curtain were just joking around. Most of them already knew that Rosemary was not a Goddess author because Rosemary had never pretended to be a female author, he even went out of his way, explaining himself in a public note. These were just fans teasing him.

Once, a male author got mistaken as a lolita by the fans, even though the author had stepped out to clarify matters. He had allowed the fans to tease him with this nickname because he loved his readers, and as a result, he can no longer discard that lolita’ish nickname which left him helpless.

This author is most probably the perfect author in every aspect, and to be a fan of that particular author would be a privilege…

During the interview, when the host asked Ye Hai how he got his girlish pen name, Ye Hai smiled and said that it was his wife’s idea. It was his nickname on the internet during his younger years, and he used that name without changing it when he started writing novels.

He did not think of his pen name as girly, rather, he had thought it to be rather quintessential.
