David lost.
Total defeat.
In fact, David’s defeat was almost doomed since the day when Alice in Wonderland was able to compete with David in sales by relying on pre-sales without even a word of the text being released. This wave was a complete crushing defeat!
"Chu Kuang Niu Pi!"
After being bullied repeatedly, the Yan people finally felt the feeling of victory, and for a moment their eyes were filled with tears. Although this victory belonged to Chu Kuang, the Yan people felt that they had contributed to the medal of honor.
Because this time is different!
We are in the same group as Chu Kuang!
Behind the collective carnival of the Yan people was the collective silence of the Han people. This was the first time that the Korean fairy tale circle had directly felt the terror of Chu Kuang. Putting aside the various hearsays they had heard when they had just joined the Blue Star merger, they finally understood what the name "Chu Kuang" meant.
In fact.
The four continents of Qin, Qi, Chu and Yan were also surprised by Chu Kuang's crushing victory. People began to re-examine Chu Kuang's ability to write long fairy tales. Perhaps the level of Chu Kuang's long fairy tales may not be worse than his short ones
"KO!"
Many netizens went to David's comment section to leave messages. When David defeated Bai Jie before, he sent these two letters forward and backward respectively. However, Chu Kuang defeated David in the same way that David defeated Bai Jie, truly achieving a return of favor in his own way. So there was no need for Chu Kuang to do it himself, netizens couldn't wait to run to slap him in the face!
“I lost.”
David chose to lie down and accept the ridicule.
With David's surrender, the literary battle came to an end. But no one expected that David would even arrange a farewell performance for himself: "A ridiculous fairy tale, a strange Alice, the so-called Wonderland turned out to be a mirror world that is completely opposite to reality. After watching it for the second time, I was completely convinced."
It’s not enough for this guy to admit defeat!
He also wrote a long book review for Alice in Wonderland, praising Chu Kuang's book in various ways, from the story itself to his own interpretation, without any awareness of being the loser in the literary battle:
He said Wonderland is a mirror world.
Because the image a person sees when looking in the mirror is reversed, the various characters in Alice's dream would say things that are so bizarre that normal people would find them illogical, but upon closer thought they always make sense.
He also said…
The line "Why is the crow like a writing desk" in the novel is a very subtle line. The real meaning of this line is actually a confession of the Mad Hatter to Alice. The earlier fable and explanation appeared in the song "Fairy Tale Town" last year. I remember the lyrics were sung like this:
"I heard that the Mad Hatter likes Alice."
Why does the crow look like a desk? Because there is no reason, just like why the Mad Hatter likes Alice, there is no reason either, but he likes her because he likes her, without any reason or logic.
For a while.
Netizens were delighted.
But David's book review also gave everyone something to think about. Many people began to believe David's interpretation, but many people did not forget to make a joke: "David has become like a madman of Chu."
“But it’s very well said.”
“It’s like a mirror image.”
"At the end of the fairy tale, it says that all this happened because Alice had a dream, but we often say that everything in a dream is the opposite, so the term mirror image is very appropriate."
“No wonder David gave in.”
"I'm also really convinced. I heard that the Mad Hatter likes Alice. I originally thought that this line of lyrics only represented the name of Chu Kuang's fairy tale, but I didn't expect it to explain this big pit in Alice in Wonderland. Chu Kuang had already spoiled it in advance last year, but we didn't come back to our senses immediately after reading the official version of the novel!"
"… "
Lin Yuan was a little confused.
With the release of Alice in Wonderland, he naturally paid attention to the comments online. Lin Yuan himself didn't have the answer to the question about why the crows in the novel looked like desks, but he didn't expect David to interpret it through a line of his lyrics last year, and it was recognized by countless readers!
Having said that.
It seems that many readers on Earth also interpret it this way. In the next novel, Alice wanders into Wonderland for the second time and has forgotten the Mad Hatter. As a result, the Mad Hatter is so lost. Perhaps this is another proof that the Mad Hatter likes Alice
"Everything can be made up."
This is Lin Yuan's evaluation of the netizens and writers on Blue Star. This group of people are very good at connecting clues that have nothing to do with each other and then drawing a conclusion that even Lin Yuan himself cannot refute.
“Is this a fairy tale for adults?”
Kaneki also seemed to have many curiosities.
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "It can only be said that adults can read it, but in the final analysis, it is still for children. It's just that by the time the children understand it, they have grown up."
This is Lin Yuan’s opinion.
Children only think Alice is fun and interesting when watching it instead of thinking about it as much as adults do. However, there is a very interesting phenomenon on Earth: children in China like the fairy tale of Alice, while many adults in the West like this work.
“That’s right.”
Jinmu smiled and said, "Fairy tales are always written for children. Besides, Alice's adventure in Wonderland is really interesting. Where in the world are there fairy tales written for adults?"
"That's not necessarily true."
Lin Yuan added casually.
Jinmu continued to smile without thinking too much: "Anyway, our gains this time are very obvious. The boss's status in the hearts of Yan people has obviously risen. Yan people now regard the boss as a hero. In the future, Yan people will definitely pay more attention to the boss's work, instead of having a vague resistance like before."
Lin Yuan nodded.
After writing Alice, his reputation rose rapidly. It is estimated that most of it was provided by Yanzhou. The pace of the merger of Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan and Han was very fast. Except for Qinzhou, Lin Yuan has not completely conquered the remaining continents. In the future, he will pay more attention to the exploration of the markets in various continents.
"in addition… "
Kaneki glanced at Luo Wei who was busy contacting ink painting in the distance: "I have finished writing another fairy tale. The boss should consider serializing a new comic. Readers are looking forward to Shadow-sensei's new work."
“I’m busy.”
Lin Yuan frowned.
Jin Mu was helpless: "You told Luo Wei the same thing before, but when you were writing Alice in Wonderland, you were drawing and typing at the same time, you didn't look like you had no time."
This trick doesn't work anymore.
Lin Yuan simply changed his strategy: "It's too tiring to draw comics by myself. I obviously have a comic studio to help me, why not let everyone get busy?"
"You mean..."
"Don't worry about it now."
Lin Yuan opened his mouth and said that he actually planned to let others draw the comics, and he would provide the plot and important storyboard design, and at other times he would just be a hands-off boss.
There are so many wonderful comics.
Lin Yuan was a little overwhelmed.
However, Lin Yuan doesn't want to bother for the time being. February is approaching, and Lin Yuan plans to wait for the results of the second season to come out first.

ps: I have to finish work early and rest tonight. I feel a little unwell and in a bad state. This chapter was written in a very dull manner. Please bear with me if the quality is not good enough. Tomorrow Wubai will adjust his state and sort out the subsequent plot!
