Chapter 403 A sour feeling
After being shocked, Chen Binghai was naturally ecstatic.
As a die-hard fan of teacher [Nan Gezi], the other party's works are of course his spiritual food.
When I was following "The Great Ruler" before, he never missed an update every day. But now when I read "Life is Long and Hateful, Rivers Flow East", he basically keeps an eye on it for three or four days and then buys it once. I feel so happy when I catch the latest update.
Now, "Life is Long and Hateful, and the River Flows East" is updated with nearly 500,000 words a day, which is enough for him to read!
Of course, for an old bookworm like Chen Binghai, 500,000 words are enough for him to read for a whole day.
It is winter vacation now, and he has nothing to do anyway, so it doesn’t matter if he reads all night long. This is the happiness of an old bookworm!
In the future, he wanted to make a living by writing books and entertain himself by reading books. He felt that such a life would be particularly enjoyable and like a fairy tale.
Chen Binghai casually glanced at the book review section of "Life is Long and Hateful, Rivers Flow East" and found that the entire book review section was boiling!
Almost all book lovers are celebrating together!
"She updated 500,000 words in one day! I'd like to call Teacher [Nan Gezi] the strongest tentacle monster!"
"Stupid, isn't that right? He must have posted all his saved drafts in one go. No one really thinks he wrote so much in one day, right?"
"Regardless, Nan Gezi's feat of writing 500,000 words a day has already shocked the entire online literature world. He's a top author, and how many top authors are as crazy as him?"
"A failed author might post a million words a day, and no one would even know about it. But Nan Gezi posts 500,000 words a day, and the entire online literary world is buzzing. This is the status quo of a top-tier author!"
"I'm so happy! I'm going to read it all at once! It's so satisfying to finish it in one sitting!"
"Am I the only one who thinks it's a shame this book only has one million words? I feel like it could have been several million more. After all, the mythological world it constructs is truly magnificent and grand."
"I think one million words is enough. Nan Gezi's debut novel, 'Who Can Compete,' was also one million words long, and it's still a classic. I believe 'Life Is Long and Hateful, Rivers Flow East' will be of similar quality."
"I just like the way [Nan Gezi] finishes his work when it's time to finish. He never decides the word count based on the performance of a book, but always sticks to his original plan. This kind of persistence is truly commendable."
…
When Chen Binghai saw the general celebration in the book review section, he felt a sense of identity.
One thing he admired about Nan Gezi was that when the other party wrote a book, he really didn't care about the performance. No matter how good the book was, he would finish it when it was time to finish it and would never procrastinate.
However, Chen Binghai, an author who has only been writing for a few years, is actually unable to do this at all. He feels that the better the performance of the book, the more motivated he is to write it. As for books with poor performance, he naturally cannot write them for long.
Chen Binghai stopped looking at the cheerful book review section and finally began to happily read the second half of "Life is Long and Hateful, Rivers Flow East".
This second half can finally be compared to the one in Gu Qingge's original world. [Nan Gezi] finally uses "his" superb writing style and strong power of text rendering to start the torture!
Chen Binghai was completely unaware of this, and subconsciously used the author's thinking to explain Nan Gezi—
"This is definitely a writing style that starts with undermining and ends with praising! The protagonist Yang Jian was so awesome before, but now he's being tortured in preparation for his counterattack!"
"Tsk, Teacher Nan Gezi's works are becoming more and more like traditional literary works. The plot is quite complex, but in the process, the image of Yang Jian is becoming more and more fleshed out!"
"[Nan Gezi] teacher's writing is so powerful! This scene gave me a stomachache, but I can still hold on because I know that after I get through this, the next part will definitely be exciting!"
"Don't worry, this is just a technical adjustment by Teacher [Nan Gezi]. Before she started writing this book, Teacher [Nan Gezi] guaranteed that it would be an absolutely wonderful novel!"
…
Although Chen Binghai found various excuses for Nan Gezi, the plot of this book was extremely heartbreaking and was a complete revenge on society!
"Fuck, something's wrong. It seems like this old bastard [Nan Gezi] is determined to torture me to the end. The Yang Jian in the first 500,000 words and the Yang Jian in the last 500,000 words are really the same person. This guy is just feeding shit. What's the motivation for him?"
The more words Chen Binghai read, the more he couldn't help it. He was a loyal reader of cool novels and really couldn't accept Nan Gezi's nonsense!
But when he saw that the protagonist Yang Jian was actually written to be killed and Chenxiang turned evil, he almost vomited. It felt so sour and refreshing, both sad and satisfying.
Because this is nearing the end of the book, everything has been revealed, and then Chenxiang begins to turn evil and seek revenge...
"My mother is the universally lauded Holy Mother of Mount Hua, while that man is a selfish villain who has committed countless evil deeds. Therefore, even though they both employ subtle scheming, luring people unknowingly into their trap, simply because of the difference between good and evil, no one blames my mother, or even truly understands her intentions. My mother instinctively conceals her actions, believing in her own kindness and unwilling to admit to such a cruel plot. It turns out that everyone is scheming, including a kind and gentle person like my mother..."
…
My uncle could have remained silent at that moment, but it was because of me. At that time, he was not afraid of our seeing through his true intentions, because the prejudice was so deep that what he said was irrelevant.
…
Xiaoyu clutched the purple scarf tightly, her voice cracking. "Aunt Chang'e has gone mad... It was you who did it, wasn't it? Although she was distraught when we first went out, she's gotten much better over the years. Not only has she started to socialize, she's even descended to the mortal world to relax, enjoying singing and dancing with scholars. You... why did you do this?"
Chenxiang was still smiling, his brow twitching, a knife-like pattern forming between his eyebrows. He walked out, whispering, "Uncle loves her, doesn't he? Aunt Chang'e has always prided herself on love, hasn't she? So, let her, in her madness, completely transform into a woman devoted only to love. Since ancient times, there have been many beautiful women, and if they seek kindness and receive it, why should they complain?"
…
Chen Binghai unknowingly finished reading "Life is Long and Hateful, Rivers Flow East". He didn't know why. The second half of the book was clearly about the old villain [Nan Gezi] taking revenge on society, but he, a reader who always reads exciting novels, was able to finish reading this work.
As for the feeling after watching it, it is naturally complicated and hard to describe. He felt that he was tortured to death throughout the whole process, and his negative emotions exploded, and his heart was very painful. However, the last wave, when the truth was revealed and Chenxiang turned evil, was a good way to vent his emotions...
[Nan Gezi] You old thief, you are really a devil who plays with people's hearts!
