Chapter 445 (2/2)

Which officer still did that, in this day and age?

That was certainly impossible. But this was a novel. How else would he give his readers the satisfaction of claiming revenge with your own two hands?

More importantly, after finishing off Ye Wudao, the protagonist would become enemies with Ye family, and he could continue milking and juicing his story!

Such was hollow literature. After defeating the younger generation, came the older generation. It was the perfect recipe for milking a story. You could have a few million words of brain-cell killers

Let’s start from the low ranking servants, to the distant relatives, before moving onto thebranch family, the chosen youths, then start fighting the patriarchy. The protagonist was up against the Ye family of Lingnan this time. Such a family actually existed in real life, and they were beyond what you would call formidable!

Praise the freedom of speech. If they had it their way, they would have already banned this book. But since they could not have it their way, everyone got to read it in delight and feast upon their imaginations. The critics were actually closet fans, and thoroughly enjoyed the pirated versions as well. They could always stick around the slam the book further. Oh, what a joy!

The beauty of hollow literature. People could read the pirated version with peace, while remaining atop their pedestals

With such a system in place, the ones who were on the sharp ends of both sides would be hollow writers who were both unpopular and unsuccessful. It was either the top 500, or nothing at all. They would not get paid, and they would be blasted by criticism from all angles. Poor them.

Xu Liangming had his misgivings about the plot, but he did not plan to modify it. What’s done is done, the manuscript seemed to be brimming with some sort of spirit. The hot-blooded, adrenaline-rushing kind. The protagonist was a low-level officer, yet the opponent was the great Ye family of Lingnan. If the protagonist defeats such a great family in the end, it would be very satisfying.

Wait a minute. Now that his mind was clear, why had he written the female character An Youyou to death?

This question terrified him!

He rushed to the review sections and started reading the “comments to this chapter” area…

As expected, it had turned into nuclear fallout. Many readers were expressing their pity towards the character “An Youyou.” At the same time, they were giving his plot praises. It was tearful enjoyment, whatever the heck that was!

Perhaps hollow readers were just too innocent. Oh, how cute they were. It was why Xu Liangming even lowered his IQ, in the first place. It was all for the sake of his cute, innocent hollow readers!

At the same time, many had expressed their intentions of abandoning the book. Some of the usernames seemed strangely familiar —— Huh? Wasn’t this guy the pirated version reader who criticized him for having no lower limit in IQ, and had abandoned his book last week?

What difference did it make, then? He replied with a smile. He could not care less about the critic who had been “abandoning” his book for the past straight month

Xu Liangming was unlike Su Li, who despised pirated version readers and pleased Godly tycoon readers. He was no Rosemary either, who patiently advised pirated version readers to read the genuine version.

Next, he moved on to the subscription statistical graphs. If nothing had changed, he would continue writing just the way it was. It would save him all the time in the world. He had several manuscripts that were waiting to be used.

If his subscriber count had cascaded, he would somehow revive An Youyou. He could even create a doppelganger, such as An Youyou having a twin sister or something, and that her name was An Xiaoyi.
