Chapter 47 - Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Anti-fans Arrive (2/2)
…
9:06 PM, still not too late.
After mooching a meal off Shen Qianqian, Lin Chuan returned to his rented house feeling refreshed and then eagerly checked the Popularity Value.
[Work: This Assassin Is Too Professional.]
[Status: Available now.]
[Popularity Value: 2005/3000.]
Lin Chuan frowned slightly and mumbled to himself, “Su Qianqian should still be live streaming to promote the book, right? The conversion effect is much worse than yesterday.”
After yesterday’s live stream, the Average Subscription had spiked by the thousands, but now the surge was much less impressive.
When something is abnormal, there’s bound to be a reason.
Lin Chuan’s brows were knitted together; he opened the Quick Shake live streaming platform and entered Su Qianqian’s live stream room.
Inside the live stream room.
Su Qianqian sat quietly in a small floral dress, her delicate oval face featuring a high-bridged nose and her soft hair lazily tied behind her head. Her lips were lightly pressed together, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, giving her a somewhat pitiable look.
It seemed her state was rather off.
On the right side of the screen was the content of Lin Chuan’s novel “This Assassin Is Too Professional.”
Lin Chuan’s eyes sharpened, his gaze falling on the barrage of comments streaming past.
These comments were not as harmonious as they were during yesterday’s live stream; on the contrary, they were full of aggression.
[Qianqian, this book is written so realistically, it doesn’t seem fictitious at all. Do you still want to promote it and drive traffic to him?]
[It’s clear this is a novel inciting crime; why would you recommend it?]
[I have read this novel, it’s all the author’s own criminal facts!]
[Qianqian, don’t be foolish, stop promoting his book right away!]
[Too criminal, wouldn’t reading this book get you a ten-plus year sentence?]
[Guys, this live stream promotes crime novels, let’s report it!]
[…]
The glaring text caught Lin Chuan’s eye.
He immediately understood the situation.
No wonder the rise in the Average Subscription wasn’t significant, and Su Qianqian’s live stream seemed off; it was the anti-fans at work.
Where did these anti-fans come from?
Lin Chuan could more or less guess.
Wherever there are people, there is a Martial World.
The web novel circle is the same, it’s not a sanctuary; on the contrary, even if the writers are minding their own business, typing away in front of their computers, there are still those who choose to wage war through the internet.
Jealousy and tangled interests often lead to major spat battles.
For Lin Chuan, it was a case of “sitting at home, and trouble comes knocking.”
The people in the live stream room were most likely not Lin Chuan’s anti-fans, but rather paid trolls hired by someone.
“Could it be because of the ‘Heroes Compete’ event last time, where I gained too much attention and attracted jealousy, or did it touch somebody’s interests?”
Lin Chuan thought to himself.
The biggest suspects were two authors: Handon and Hongmei.
Because Lin Chuan had claimed the top spot in Heroes Compete, which was like snatching food from the tiger’s mouth, touching their interests.
Lin Chuan thought for a moment, then sent a message to Captain Hu Daqiang, the head of the criminal investigation team: “Captain Hu, you gave an interview today, did you help me promote my novel?”
Shortly after.
Hu Daqiang replied with a voice message: “Comrade Lin, I wouldn’t dare forget what I promised you. In front of the reporters, I very accurately described your performance in solving cases, and I made a point of saying you are a web novel writer, including your novel. They should have published it by now, right?”
“Thanks, Captain Hu.”
A smile appeared on Lin Chuan’s face.
As expected!
The Anling news had already posted a related video on the Quick Shake live streaming app.
Without hesitation, Lin Chuan forwarded it to Su Qianqian’s live stream room.
