Chapter 28 (2/2)
“Is there really someone who reads novels to get information on tomb-robbing? This isn’t the main point of the novel at all! A novel should be about the character’s story and feelings between the characters. If it’s all about imagery, I might as well watch a documentary!”
“I love the two characters, Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling.”
“Third Uncle is my hero and the greatest of all time!”
“What’s scarier than ghosts is the human heart. This is something that fans of ‘Candle in the Tomb’ will never understand.”
“I’m afraid of ghosts, but they didn’t hurt me. Humans, on the other hand, have caught me off guard and hurt me deeply!”
“Although both books have been greatly recommended, after reading ‘The Lost Tomb’, I really couldn’t bear to read ‘Candle in the Tomb’ anymore. There are so many types of creatures, traps, and so much feng shui. Is it tomb robbing or fighting monsters in the dungeon?”
“Indeed, indeed…I feel the same way too! It’s a little like the cliché of traditional adventure novels about fighting monsters to level up.”
“If that’s the case, why don’t I just watch ‘The Tomb Raider Movie’ instead?”
“It’s so interesting to see Wu Xie’s growth in ‘The Lost Tomb’. He went from being a sly rookie with a kind nature to becoming a ruthless evil emperor. That’s what makes the story interesting.”
“If ‘Candle in the Tomb’ is a star, then ‘The Lost Tomb’ is a galaxy! I can barely remember the trio of main characters in ‘Candle in the Tomb’, but ‘The Lost Tomb’ is about a group of characters. Each character has its own background and story, including love, family, and friendship…so many complex relationships are formed.”
“This is a truly good story!”
..
The number of fans in the two communities was expanding rapidly.
Having the same interests would bring people together, but what made people more united was having a common enemy.
In an afternoon, the readers of “Candle in the Tomb” and “The Lost Tomb” had each forged their own fortresses.
When the voting began on the third night, they would attack the other side!
The voting rules for the Fall Cup were as follows.
On Friday and Saturday until Sunday before 6:00 pm, the books would be available for sale, and anyone who was interested could buy the e-book on the website.
The voting would begin after 6:00 pm on Sunday, which was restricted to those who had paid for and read all four shortlisted works.
With this relatively strict restriction, it was a good way to eliminate fake votes.
Voting would begin from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm, while live counting of the votes would begin at 9:00 pm.
The final results would be decided by expert judges before midnight, and the identity of the anonymous author would be revealed.
