Meanwhile, when the Literature and Art Association was reading Journey to the West.
Silver Blue Books had also started making specific arrangements and planning for the publication of this novel.
Of course, this included the official start of the promotional campaign for this novel.
Lin Yuan didn’t usually care about such things.
Promotion was the company’s business, and Chu Kuang couldn’t really show his face.
But what Lin Yuan didn’t expect was that there were problems with the promotion of this new book...
And the problems were serious ones!
When I say there were problems, it actually had nothing to do with the novel itself.
Nor did it have anything to do with Lin Yuan.
The main issue was Silver Blue Books’ several promotional phrases for Journey to the West.
The promotional phrases were roughly:
"Chu Kuang’s return to fantasy, on par with the mytho-epic of The Primordial Chaos series!"
"Chu Kuang’s new book Journey to the West will be on par with The Primordial Chaos!"
"Who says Blue Star’s mythology only has The Primordial Chaos series, check out Chu Kuang’s new book Journey to the West?"
"..."
It was these few lines that stirred up the hornet’s nest!
As mentioned before.
Blue Star has the foundation of The Primordial Chaos.
This novel’s historical significance is probably similar to that of Investiture of the Gods on Earth.
Many people’s understanding and familiarity with Blue Star mythology come from this work.
Its propagation for countless years has made The Primordial Chaos a masterpiece in the minds of many.
Its derived TV shows and animations, etc., have accompanied countless people’s youth!
These people are hardcore fans of The Primordial Chaos!
Their number is terrifyingly large!
As a result, in Silver Blue Book’s promotion, they compared Journey to the West with The Primordial Chaos series!
Can the fans of The Primordial Chaos tolerate that?
Of course not!
Therefore, many fans of The Primordial Chaos were outraged after seeing this kind of promotion!
"Did this Chu Kuang get so arrogant?"
"Nowadays, novel promotion is full of extravagant claims, we used to just laugh it off, knowing exactly how things actually are, after all, it’s nothing more than the merchants mindlessly promoting their own products. But the publicity for Chu Kuang’s new book directly hit on The Primordial Chaos, do they think we, the fans of The Primordial Chaos, don’t exist?"
"Chu Kuang is indeed talented, but are you saying his new book is on par with the classic that has been handed down since ancient times?"
"Hehe, it’s laughable."
"Retract these promotions immediately, and also, Silver Blue Books and Chu Kuang should apologize to all Primordial Chaos fans!"
"You want to be on par with The Primordial Chaos, are you worthy?"
"Because of King of the Net?"
"Because of Zhu Xian?"
"Because of Ghost Blows out the Light?"
"These few books of Chu Kuang’s put together still don’t qualify to be compared with The Primordial Chaos!"
"Although I really like the old rascal Chu Kuang’s works, to say Chu Kuang’s works are on par with The Primordial Chaos, that’s indeed a bit presumptuous."
"I’ve got to say, in front of The Primordial Chaos, Chu Kuang’s all books combined are not enough."
"..."
Countless fans of The Primordial Chaos launched a furious assault on Chu Kuang online!
It even included some readers who had read Chu Kuang’s novels!
As a work from hundreds of years ago, the author of The Primordial Chaos has long disappeared into the river of history.
But...
The fanbase this work bred from its development over countless years, is undoubtedly huge!
To these people:
The Primordial Chaos mythology is unparalleled!
For a moment.
Chu Kuang and Silver Blue Books were lambasted by countless people!
The comment section of Chu Kuang’s online forum was immediately drowned out by the tirades of The Primordial Chaos fans.
Chu Kuang’s fans never expected.
That Chu Kuang, who had been having a smooth journey ever since his debut, and was even criticised by his own readers, was now under a collective attack from The Primordial Chaos fans?
Suddenly.
Chu Kuang’s fans became enraged!
"Damn it, how dare they berate the old rascal?"
"Can these fans of The Primordial Chaos use their brains, the promotional phrases were conceived by Silver Blue Books, what does it have to do with the old rascal?"
"They want the old rascal to apologise? Shouldn’t you be the ones apologising to the old rascal?"
"Do they really think that the old rascal has no fans?"
"Who gives a damn about you fans of The Primordial Chaos, the old rascal’s readers are no fewer than yours if you really want to compare numbers!"
"I’m freaking angry, is the old rascal someone you fans of The Primordial Chaos can berate?"
"Brothers, arm yourselves!"
"Let’s confront the fans of The Primordial Chaos!"
"You guys speak of The Primordial Chaos as so awesome, how come I’ve never seen the Literature and Art Association ardently promoting The Primordial Chaos?"
"Even if we don’t discuss that this promotion was done by Silver Blue Books, even if it was the old rascal’s own idea, so what?"
"I laughed too. The literary world’s evaluation of ’The Primordial Chaos’ hasn’t yet reached the classic level, but the old rascal’s fairy tales are mandatory reading materials for Blue Star students. They will still be read hundreds of years from now."
"..."
Don’t be fooled by how Chu Kuang’s fans call him the ’old rascal’.
In the hearts of these fans, Chu Kuang’s status is extremely high!
They can criticize Chu Kuang for killing off Biyao and Poirot, but that’s an internal affair.
The Primordial Chaos fans aren’t part of the family!
When these people criticize Chu Kuang, his fans will not tolerate it!
For a moment, the internet turned into a battlefield for The Primordial Chaos fans and Chu Kuang’s fans!
Forum discussions, posts, and countless social networking platforms were filled with the struggle between the two sides...
At the same time.
There’s a lot of controversy among the spectators.
Furthermore, with the escalation of the conflict, finally, Xian Yu’s fans couldn’t take it anymore.
"It looks like Chu Kuang’s side has started a fight with the Primordial Chaos fans?"
"I checked, and there seem to be a lot of Primordial Chaos fans."
"The Primordial Chaos series has been around for so many years, there are countless fandom culture, it’s normal that there are so many fans. Because those people are not fans of a specific author, but fans of the culture of The Primordial Chaos."
"What are we waiting for?"
"Time to provide support for our allies."
"Considering the relationship between Chu Kuang and Fish Papa, it would be improper if we didn’t help."
"We don’t need to wait for Fish Papa to speak up. Fish Papa is a public figure and speaking isn’t suitable, we should take the initiative."
"Deckling that matter, Chu Kuang and Fish Papa have always been protective of each other."
"..."
Several hours later, Xian Yu’s fans surprisingly joined the argument on a large scale!
By that evening.
Shadow’s fans came into action as well!
Don’t forget, Shadow is the author of the comic ’King of the Net’!
Everyone knows about Shadow’s relationship with Chu Kuang.
The Three Bros have collaborated more than once, who doesn’t know their relationship is strong?
So even if Shadow didn’t say anything, his fans voluntarily defended Chu Kuang.
Not to mention...
These Primordial Chaos fans slandered ’King of the Net’ until it was worthless.
Shadow, the comic’s author, was caught in the crossfire as well.
It was like a pile of dry gunpowder that suddenly met a spark, causing the entire internet to explode!
For a moment.
Silver Blue Books was caught off guard!
The person in charge of ’Journey to the West’ promotion campaign was so scared that his face turned white...
The promotion for Chu Kuang’s new book was always very domineering.
This is a consistent starting style for Chu Kuang’s new book.
Who would have thought that this time it would anger the Primordial Chaos fans!
The person in charge was trembling when he found chief editor Lu Bei, and stammered: "Should we withdraw the promotional lines that mention The Primordial Chaos series?"
This is too serious!
This is the first time Chu Kuang has received such heavy criticism since his debut!
If this is handled poorly, it could severely damage Chu Kuang’s reputation...
"Stand down for now."
Lu Bei’s eyes were somewhat cold.
This situation isn’t simple.
It’s understandable that Primordial Chaos fans would feel dissatisfied seeing this kind of promotion.
But the fact that this has become a hot topic all over the internet in such a short time is definitely due to certain people stirring up trouble.
Most of the hot topics that have hit the entire internet in a short period of time are led by internet trolls.
There are people who don’t want to see Chu Kuang succeed.
Nor do they want to see Silver Blue Books succeed.
But these trolls certainly didn’t expect!
The reason behind Silver Blue Books’ promotion was in fact related to the message from the Literature and Art Association...
After some quiet contemplation, Lu Bei called up someone.
Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.
Chu Kuang’s number.
When the call was answered, Lu Bei said:
"Sorry, Mr. Chu Kuang, our promotion has unfortunately entangled you as well."
"It’s alright."
Lin Yuan replied.
He had known about the uptick of activity on the internet a few hours ago through Jin Mu.
Lu Bei tentatively asked: "Should we alter the promotion?"
Lin Yuan said: "No need."
Lu Bei laughed: "I understand."
This is Chu Kuang.
The audacious Chu Kuang who dares to challenge the entire fairy tale world alone!
