Yes.
Lin Yuan doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with the promotion of Silver Blue Books.
If it had been before, Lin Yuan might have actually considered the possibility of modifying the slogan...
But after going through "The Masked Singer", Lin Yuan changed a lot.
This incident just happens to remind Lin Yuan of his experience of wearing a mask as the Prince of Lanling.
Back then, Lin Yuan spoke some harsh truths.
Then, a lot of fans of other singers, their fragile hearts were scattered all over the place.
So on the day of revealing his identity, Lin Yuan realized one truth:
In the world, whoever has the bigger fist has the final say.
This time, Silver Blue Books just stated that "Journey to the West" and the Primordial Chaos series are on the same level.
Then the fans of the Primordial Chaos series could not take it.
As if comparing "Journey to the West" to the Primordial Chaos series was a massive insult to the latter.
These people clearly have never read "Journey to the West"!
It would be better to at least read "Journey to the West" before speaking such nonsense.
But based on their love for the Primordial Chaos series alone, they devalue themselves and "Journey to the West" to be worthless.
How different is that from those who lashed out at the Prince of Lanling because their idols were criticized?
The nature of the matter is the same.
Experiencing this kind of thing again, Lin Yuan feels a bit uncomfortable.
So, he doesn’t want to withdraw the slogan, nor does he want to change it.
Even on earth.
No one would dare to say that the Primordial Chaos is better than Journey to the West ——
In all senses!
So, Silver Blue Books has already taken the feelings of the Primordial Chaos fans into consideration.
This slogan is somewhat modest.
Of course.
Only a few people think this way.
The noise of the matter was considerable, and within half a day it was known by everyone.
For a while, countless people in the circle were discussing it amidst the controversy.
"Chu Kuang seems to be a bit too hasty with this."
"He probably wants to top the charts with a single book, but has overdone it a bit."
"All the publicity of new books these years has been about bragging, anyway that’s always been the way in the circle, but Silver Blue Books have been a little impetuous to target Primordial Chaos this time."
"However, with such a fuss over this matter, it probably has something to do with people fanning the flames."
"Ever since Chu Kuang joined Silver Blue Books, their performance has been skyrocketing, of course, people would be jealous."
"Another reason is that many publishing houses want to poach Chu Kuang, but none are successful."
"But ultimately it’s Silver Blue Books that exposed their own flaws. If they hadn’t targeted Primordial Chaos with "Journey to the West", their competitors wouldn’t have found this loophole to attack."
"They targeted Primordial Chaos to allow Chu Kuang to directly vie for the highest spot."
"After all, under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for Chu Kuang to get the fourth highest spot this year."

Just then, someone suddenly said in the circle:
"Holy shit, things have completely gotten out of control, you guys quickly look, the Primordial Studies Association has entered the game!"
Swoosh swoosh swoosh.
Countless people crowded around in no time.
On top of the Tribe.
The Primordial Studies Association released a screenshot of Silver Blue Books’ promo about "Journey to the West", and commented:
"The promotion of novels in the industry now, one is more boastful than the other, readily shouting: this is a world-shaking masterpiece, you guys come and see — just like those pharmaceutical companies hyping a few tens of dollars’ worth of medicine as if it can cure cancer is laughable, this phenomenon if not rectified, will only make certain companies lose their credibility completely."
The Primordial Studies Association, self-proclaimed "Primordial Studies".
It is said to be made up of a group of experts and scholars dedicated to studying "Primordial Chaos".
Although not officially recognized by the Literature and Art Association, it still has some influence among the masses.
Many classic novels from ancient times have similar civilian associations.
This book also feeds a bunch of so-called professional scholars.
Following that, the Primordial Studies Association also mentioned Silver Blue Books and Chu Kuang:
"When you compared Chu Kuang’s new book with "Primordial Chaos", do you know that this book is not just a flight of fancy fantasy novel, it also covers a level of literary connotation that modern writing can never again reach."
As soon as this statement came out, many people’s faces changed.
Yes.
The Primordial Chaos series, not only has a strong narrative, but also, it was written in classical language, full of poetry, prose, lyrics and all, and its literary nature is also widely recognized.
And modern fantasy novels, for the sake of sales, hardly consider the literary nature, and only care about the narrative.
Furthermore, even if literary nature is taken into account, modern writers are rarely able to create with poetry, songs and poems, and classical-style texts like classical Chinese.
It’s nothing.
They just don’t have enough skills.
Even if they can write a few chapters, can they ensure that the entire book is written in the same way?
Impossible.
Even if a whole book is written like that, it wouldn’t sell.
Fantasy novels have taken the path of populism, how many of today’s readers can understand ancient texts?
Some people believe that this is a deceptive analogy.
Some people, were convinced by that argument.
It’s indeed inappropriate for Chu Kuang’s new book to be compared to The Primordial Chaos.
Well, well!
With the whirlwind of the Primordial Studies Association, Primordial Chaos fans are like divine aid!
Even if these Primordial Chaos fanatics only learn about Primordial Chaos through animations or TV dramas...
They have questions!
"Do you have any literary value?"
"Do you have any artistic value?"
"Without these, what can compare the so-called Journey to the West and the Primordial Chaos series?"
"One side is a newly written novel by a best-selling author, and the other is a long-standing epic piece, can the two really be compared?"
"The myth of Primordial Chaos, is recognized by countless Blue Star inhabitants!"
"This is a traditional masterpiece that has been passed down for centuries, not just any best-seller that you can casually match against!"
"This is traditional!"
"Tradition, is authority!"
"Silver Blue Books compare with contemporaries, nobody says anything, Chu Kuang’s novels do indeed have high sales volume, but it’s ridiculous that he has the audacity to compare his works with classic masterpieces like The Primordial Chaos!"
"..."
More and more Primordial Studies experts have entered the field!
While they quibble over Journey to the West, they persistently preach about the greatness of Primordial Studies, interpreting it in various ways to dumbfound onlookers.
With this moment’s momentum, the voices supporting Chu Kuang were finally suppressed!
The influence of Primordial Chaos is indeed too terrible!
Because it’s not just a novel, but also involves the popularity boost of countless derivative works over the years that are so well known to countless people!
In fact, even Chu Kuang’s fans understand...
If we’re talking strictly about literary quality, fantasy novels really can’t be compared with The Primordial Chaos.
And now the Primordial Studies Association is obviously holding onto the literary heritage that The Primordial Chaos has accumulated over the years, along with the power of tradition and authority!
This power, even the highest selling fantasy novels find hard to break!
"Still not apologizing?"
"Still not retracting the advertisement?"
The Primordial Chaos fan base has grown like never before, uniting like never before, and they’ve even lined up in groups to report the promotional problem of Journey to the West to the official Literature and Art Association....
They are glaring at Chu Kuang!
They are glaring at Silver Blue Books!
They just want to force Silver Blue Books and Chu Kuang to bow down, withdraw the promotion, and then officially apologize!
However.
The Primordial Chaos fans are destined to be disappointed.
Neither Silver Blue Books nor Chu Kuang will apologize!
Even.
Silver Blue Books has issued a new promotional post.
The promotional image is a Handsome Monkey King wearing a phoenix-feather cap, clad in Lock Son Golden Armor, stepping on cloud-walking boots, and holding a Golden Cudgel in his hand!
He’s sitting on the top of a mountain!
A big red cape!
It seems to be fluttering in the wind!
Surrounding the monkey, there are countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, all ferocious and evil!
It’s a beautiful picture!
It’s exquisite craftsmanship!
This amazing work is undoubtedly the work of Shadow:
"Tomorrow morning, Journey to the West is published ahead of time, The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal, steps on the Imperial Palace!"
This monkey, is naturally arrogant!
