This May seems a bit long.
In the blogger's short story rankings in May, after being overtaken by the second place, the ranking of "Dong Dong Suspension Bridge Falling" did not continue to fall -
But it couldn't get back to the top.
After all, this novel was forced to be ranked second by many fans of orthodox mystery who were disgusted after reading "The Bridge Falls".
If there hadn't been a group of people forcing votes on the second place, Lin Yuan should have easily won the championship this month.
Many people thought that this was the final outcome.
The old thief Chu Kuang paid the price for his behavior of teasing the readers.
However, just as May was about to end, something happened that many people did not expect.
The votes for "Bridge Falls", which had been ranked second, suddenly began to surge.
Faintly, it seems that there is momentum to return to the championship throne!
The reason is simple.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared on the Internet, giving completely different evaluations of "Bridge Falls" from those who disliked it:
"This novel is Chu Kuang's play and reflection on narrative paradoxical reasoning."
“This is almost anti-reasoning forward thinking!”
"Ranked second is the biggest misunderstanding people have about "Bridge Falls"!"
What the Internet lacks the least is followers.
When many people were criticizing "Bridge Falls" for mistaking boredom for fun, some people followed suit and criticized it.
When many people began to praise "Bridge Falls" for its advanced awareness and the author's game and reflection, some people followed suit.
Then the two wind directions began to fight.
At this time, Chu Kuang's fame played a significant role.
Some readers who support Chu Kuang expressed their deep sorrow:
"Use your brains and think about it. Chu Kuang is such a great writer. Would he simply take boredom as fun and write a narrative mystery to disgust the readers?"
Of course not!
Many people think this way subconsciously.
Then people began to analyze Chu Kuang's real intention.
Why did Chu Kuang ridicule many famous mystery writers in "The Fall of the Suspension Bridge"
Why does it end with the line that the murderer is a monkey
Why write yourself as both a reader and a dead person at the same time
Why…
As these questions appeared, netizens who were extremely good at reading comprehension showed off their skills, and a variety of answers came out.
"Chu Kuang's ridicule of mystery writers should be to say that mystery writers are only good at writing on paper. No mystery writer can really become a detective in real life. They can only write in hypothetical situations. So in the novels, they don't know who the murderer is and are at a loss. This implies that when faced with a murder case in real life, they don't have the ability to find the murderer."
"It would be most interesting if the murderer was a monkey. Many times, the reasoning is stuck in a situation where it is not exciting and is not liked by readers. Little do they know that in reality, simply finding the murderer is the best news for the victim."
"Chu Kuang wrote himself as a dead person, perhaps because he felt that there were too many ways to create a narrative mystery, and it was easy to go to extremes and turn it into a pure word game like now. He was the one who created the narrative mystery, so he had to take responsibility."
"This is also Chu Kuang's intention in writing himself as a reader. He is as depressed as countless readers who have read "Dong Dong Suspension Bridge Falls" because he also thinks that such narrative tricks are meaningless. Real narrative tricks should give readers valuable information, rather than purely misleading words."
"This young man in the book represents the contest between Chu Kuang, who was obsessed with writing weird stories, and the current Chu Kuang!"
"Wow, after listening to everyone's analysis, I realized that this work has many metaphors. It is worthy of Chu Kuang. Many people have misunderstood this novel. Chu Kuang is not such a superficial person!"
"If you think about it carefully, Chu Kuang is just using a joking way to lightly explain his personal understanding of reasoning."
"… "
The more people think about it, the more they see nothing wrong with it.
It turns out Chu Kuang has such good intentions!
Ordinary people cannot comprehend the realm of great artists in a short time. Once they comprehend it, the trend will really turn towards "Bridge Falls".
The result is that "Bridge Falls" returned to the top spot.
This novel returned to first place, and the second-place novel naturally returned to second place as well.
The second place guy went from underground to the clouds and then back to underground? Did he experience a roller coaster? I just felt a sense of frustration in my neck:
"Are you kidding me?"
He felt like he was being played.
But his feelings apparently didn't matter.
As various interpretations emerged online, some fans began to go to Chu Kuang’s tribe to ask what Chu Kuang’s real intention was.
Not to mention netizens.
Jinmu was also a little bit confused? He couldn't help but ask Lin Yuan privately:
"Boss, what is your real intention? Why are there two Chu Kuangs in the book? Is the other Chu Kuang really a hint of another side of yourself? Could this be related to Xianyu? Or does the boss feel too lonely? Do you hope that there will be someone like you in the world?"
Lin Yuan: “…”
When lonely people choose not to speak, it is often not because they have nothing to say, but because they have no one to talk to.
Loneliness means that when you have something to say, no one wants to listen; and when someone is willing to listen, you suddenly have nothing to say.
Okay? Speak human language.
Lin Yuan's thoughts at this moment were: "I'm very happy to regain the first place, but everyone seems to have misunderstood my meaning."
Just like what Lu Xun said, there were two trees planted in front of his house, one was a jujube tree? The other was also a jujube tree.
Lin Yuan never expected that one day he would become those two jujube trees and suffer the same treatment.
People in this world? They are still extremely good at reading comprehension.
No wonder when I take exams, even when I come across songs I released, my scores are always low.
What I lack is probably the kind of associative thinking that netizens have.
There is an interesting thing in the background information of the system:
After Ang Lee finished filming "Life of Pi", countless reporters interviewed him and asked him what the metaphors in the movie actually referred to.
Li An didn't answer any of them.
This is a smart approach and one worth learning.
So Lin Yuan didn't plan to explain.
If misunderstanding is still beautiful, then let's continue with the misunderstanding.
He can't just tell everyone openly that I wrote this reasoning just because the system happened to be on sale and I just wanted to be a thief.
Lin Yuan even suspected that no one would believe his explanation.
never mind.
On the last day of May, Lin Yuan won the first prize in tears.
He thought that the battle of reasoning would come to an end here.
As a result, just as June approached, Leng Guang’s latest mystery novel was suddenly released!
at the same time.
Leng Guang's tribe tagged Chu Kuang and added three words, marking the official start of this literary fight:
"Please enlighten me."
