Because the novel is serialized on a blog, there is no publishing process and readers do not need to spend time and money to go to bookstores to buy physical copies. They can read the entire "The Devotion of Suspect X" just by moving the mouse and clicking on Chu Kuang's blog, so this book became popular very quickly.
After all, the number of visits to Chu Kuang’s blog has always been terrifying.
Every reader from the eight continents of Blue Star who was shocked by the novel shared and discussed it through social platforms!
Under this trend, #suspectx's dedication# easily became a hot search!
Not even just readers.
Some writers on Blue Star who have read this novel also joined in the topic.
Because Chu Kuang shocked not only the readers, but also many writers on Blue Star!
Especially fellow mystery writers!
…
Chuzhou.
Mystery writer Carter lamented on the public platform:
This is a perfect combination of detective fiction and romance. Everyone in the novel did what they thought was right, but the saddest person is the reader.
The theme of love that Chu Kuang wants to explain in his mystery novel is:
There are no unsolved cases in the world, only people who cannot be forgotten.
At the same time, Chu Kuang also used this book to remind everyone that he is not only good at writing martial arts and children's literature, but also good at reasoning.
However, this book is more of an exploration of human nature than a mystery.
The end of logic is not the utopia of rationality and order, but the love to which I devote my life.
Personally, I think the final moral situation set up for Yasuko and Ishigami is the most exciting part.
The pain of not being able to atone for one's sins is something that Ishigami can never calculate or measure mathematically based on the choices that Yasuko might make.
…
The other side.
Leng Guang, who had previously fought a literary duel with Chu Kuang and ended up losing miserably, also posted a message saying:
The novel also provides many detailed descriptions of the wanderers' settlements, from their living environment to their living conditions. This plot may seem redundant but is actually necessary.
Homeless people are abandoned by society, with no jobs and no housing.
Even in their communities, there is little solidarity, mutual assistance and concern.
So, when the homeless man disappeared, no one noticed, or even if they noticed, no one cared.
It was precisely because of this that Ishigami chose to attack the homeless people who had no future troubles.
It should be noted that throughout the entire case, the unfortunate homeless man did not have any substantial and important relationship with anyone.
The reason he was connected to the case and chosen by Ishigami was simply because no one cared about his disappearance.
Throughout the whole process, the homeless man is the only completely innocent person, a complete victim.
However, what is even more sad is that:
In such a large society that claims to be civilized and rule of law, no one has sought justice for his death and injuries.
…
The most surprising thing is:
A female writer in the top ten of the Blue Star Writers List actually read this book and posted the following comment on her personal platform:
It's not just a homeless problem.
In "The Devotion of Suspect X", Jingzi and her daughter are a vulnerable group.
Although Yasuko and Togashi have divorced, the idle and shameless Togashi still harasses Yasuko and her daughter. However, before there is any actual criminal action, the law certainly cannot protect Yasuko and her daughter.
Who should relieve the pain of Jingzi and her daughter
Here, the novel intentionally or unintentionally raises the issue of vulnerable women in society.
This is what the novel brings us to think about.
Although I don’t write mystery stories, I love this subject very much. I highly recommend Chu Kuang’s book to everyone!
…
In comparison.
Short story writer Shen Jiarui, a die-hard fan of this crazy old thief Chu, is much simpler and more straightforward:
Chu Kuang yyds!
The ending gave me goosebumps.
How much do you have to love someone to be able to completely abandon yourself, your life, your reputation, your beloved mathematics, and all the unknown beauty that has yet to happen in life
Just dedication
When you think that person has done his best, you never imagined that he has given you much more than what you have seen. It is really hard to hold back the excitement!
This is Chu Kuang!
Setting emotion as the only loophole in this theorem, we realize that mathematics is a vast net that cannot control the variable of human feelings. This gives great comfort to the fragile heart of a liberal arts student like me.
…
Swish, swish, swish!
Comments from famous Blue Star writers have pushed the popularity of the novel to an even higher point!
The weight of an endorsement from a famous writer is far greater than that from ordinary netizens, internet celebrities, or even professional book reviewers!
Netizens who have read this book and those who have not were blown away!
"Chu Kuang is so awesome!"
“Britney is recommending it!”
"Britney is one of the top ten writers on Blue Star, much higher than Xu Ping!"
"Leng Guang also recommended it. Chu Kuang had previously teased him with a narrative mystery novel."
"Shen Jiarui is still that brainless fan."
"Carter has recommended it. Although Carter's ranking is not as high as Chu Kuang's, he is the god of reasoning in our Chuzhou!"
“I haven’t read it yet, but I was blown away by the recommendations from these top writers.”
"Go and see!"
"I've already started watching it, and I'm a little excited."
“This book must be really great to be recommended by so many writers!”
…
And just as writers from all walks of life were commenting.
On the blog.
Yi An, who is praised by netizens as "the writer who understands Chu Kuang best", suddenly published a poem!
A modern poem to be exact.
The name of the poem is "I love you, it has nothing to do with you":
I stare at you fascinatedly,
Until it’s out of sight,
Listen to your chirping voice,
I am happy inside, what does it have to do with you
To me you are the stars, shining brightly on my dark life.
To me you are the sun, dazzling and enchanting;
I'm nice to you, what does it have to do with you
You are the God I worship quietly. I offer you my devout trust and build an altar for you in my heart.
I love you, it has nothing to do with you.
Please allow me to ask for nothing, just imagine you in the fragrance of burning incense
I suffer for this, it's not your fault
Even if I die from this, you don't have to worry about it.
…
I love you, it has nothing to do with you.
This sentence has been overused in various sentimental literature in the past, and has been used by many people as QQ signatures. After all, it is a famous saying of Goethe.
However, some studies later showed that:
The real source of this sentence should be a famous German female writer. Goethe just quoted it to pick up girls during a relationship.
Regardless of the source.
The reason why this sentence became popular is because it can arouse the emotional resonance of countless people, but most people are deceiving themselves.
Now.
This poem appears in Blue Star.
Even though Yi An did not explicitly mention the relationship between this modern poem and "The Devotion of Suspect X", netizens quickly associated it with Chu Kuang's novel after seeing it.
I love you, it has nothing to do with you.
Isn’t this sentence a true portrayal of Ishigami

ps: There are different versions of the translation of this poem. I chose the one I think is good.
