"The Miracles of Namiya" is very good, but it's too beautiful, too beautiful to be real.
I felt warm inside after watching it, but I still had to face the messed-up reality the next day.
But *Humanity is Like Prison* is different. It terrifies you, but after the fear, it makes you think!
"Don't try to twist the facts! The purpose of literature is to give people hope, not to spread anxiety!"
Teacher Jian Shen is saving lives, while that dream weaver is killing people! How can they be the same?
"What is murder? He just smashed the bones of reality open for you to see!"
The chapter on "The Talent Scout" is chilling to anyone who's ever had a job. That's true realism!
"Come on, it's just a web novel, don't try to gild it."
"Criticizing reality? Does it even deserve that? It's not even worthy of carrying Mr. Jian Shen's shoes!"
The previously clearly defined readership was completely torn apart by this article.
Those who admire "Jian Shen" feel that this is an attempt to exploit and insult their idol.
Fans of "The Dream Weaver of Hell" seem to have suddenly found a theoretical basis.
Finally, I can confidently elevate the works I like to the level of criticizing reality.
Originally, the two groups of readers kept to themselves.
This article forcibly pushed me to the opposite side.
...
The previous night at the editorial office of "New Tide" magazine,
Wang De'an stared at the screen, his face terribly grim.
Instead of flying into a rage as Xu Lan had expected, he fell into a deathly silence.
"Editor-in-chief, this is utterly shameless!"
Xu Lan was filled with indignation.
"They are deliberately trying to confuse the public!"
Comparing two completely different types of works is a trap in itself!
"That's precisely where their brilliance lies."
Wang De'an's voice was hoarse, and his fingers tapped heavily on the table.
"Praise instead of scolding, flattery kills the dream weaver, and belittlement reveals profound truths."
Once this argument that realism is superior to idealism is established,
Teacher Jian Shen's reputation will become extremely fragile.
Even more terrifying is…
He suddenly raised his head, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.
"Fang Zhenyun's move is not just for the propaganda war, but also for tomorrow's book signing!"
Xu Lan was taken aback:
"Book signing event?"
"Have you forgotten who the student representative we invited was?"
Wang De'an spoke very quickly, his voice filled with anxiety.
"Lin Que! The genius boy who wrote 'Fireflies,' whom Professor Li called a prodigy, and who is widely recognized as the most influenced by the Dream Weaver's style!"
Xu Lan instantly realized what was happening, and a chill ran down her spine.
"If, at this critical juncture, Lin Que, as a specially invited student representative, is misled by reporters on site..."
Say even one word that agrees with Sun Jingshi's views...
Wang De'an gritted his teeth and finished the sentence:
"Then tomorrow's headline will be..."
—《The book signing event for Jian Shen went wrong, and the student representatives preferred the dream weaver from hell!》
This is not only a slap in the face to Professor Jian Shen.
Furthermore, it aims to completely shatter the beacon image that "The Miracles of Namiya General Store" has painstakingly built!
The air in the office seemed to freeze.
"Quick! Xiao Xu!"
Wang De'an suddenly stood up, making a loud bang as he slammed the chair.
"Call Teacher Shen! We must confirm Lin Que's attitude by tomorrow! If that doesn't work, even if we have to replace him, we can't let him say anything reckless!"
Xu Lan frantically dialed the number, only to be met with a cold busy tone.
"Editor-in-chief..."
Xu Lan put down her phone, her face pale.
"Ms. Shen's phone is off... At this time, she should be giving a closed-door training course to the senior students."
Wang De'an slumped back into his chair, looking out at the gloomy sky.
Tomorrow is the book signing event.
That boy named Lin Que,
Now, like an uncertain bomb, they have personally placed it at the very center of the stage.
The detonator was in the hands of those malicious journalists.
"Let fate decide."
Wang De'an closed his eyes and muttered to himself.
"I hope that Mr. Jian Shen's words will truly influence this child..."
