Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Demanding a Public Apology to the Great God!
"Plagiarist dog, get out of Penguin Reading!"
"Don’t you know that Fu Xi and Nuwa are original creations of our Shen Ying? Who allowed you to use the names Fu Xi and Nuwa in your comic book?"
"Seeing that our Shen Ying has become popular, you want to ride on the coattails of that popularity. How can you, with your mere tens of thousands of followers, have the nerve to show such a disgrace?"
"What kind of author is this, so uncultured? Not only copying our great works, but even the pen name? Our Shen Ying is called Shen Ying and she comes up with Qianshan? This plagiarist is shameless!"
The comment section of ’Long Immortal Road’ is a mess, full of negative comments.
Occasionally, a couple of defending voices are quickly drowned in unreasonable rebuttals—
[I am a Little Grass Fish]: "Why can’t Fu Xi and Nuwa be written about? Have these four characters been monopolized by you?"
[Shen Ying’s Brain-dead Fan No. 1]: "Our big author published it first, so it’s her exclusive! Anything published after that is plagiarism!"
[The Moon is Brighter in My Hometown]: "Have some common sense, okay? Those are ancient myths, not your original creations. We have our own different perspectives and expressions based on mythological settings, it’s entirely a different story, OK?"
[Shen Ying’s Brain-dead Fan No. 2]: "The setup of Fu Xi being Nuwa’s brother is an original idea from our big author, and Nuwa being able to fly and perform spells is also from our big author! Anything published after that is plagiarism!"
[Little Fairy of the Long Immortal Road]: "Our Qianshan has painstakingly created each stroke herself, where would she have time to read your novels?"
[Shen Ying’s Brain-dead Fan No. 3]: "Our big author is famous nationwide, you flops are just plagiarists!"
[Meeting You is the Luckiest Thing in My Life]: "My Qianshan’s pen name has its own specific meaning, who would bother to copy you?"
[Shen Ying’s Brain-dead Fan No. 4]: "Our big author has tens of millions of fans, your few fans make you plagiarists!"
Although Gu Qiusha’s fans are trying hard to fight back, the brain-dead fans eventually don’t care, just overriding the screen with "plagiarist dog" over and over.
And the four most active fans of Gu Qiusha are soon drowned and disappeared among the screen-filling comments.
On Weibo hot search.
The same scenes almost replicate like a viral outbreak.
The "demand update" hot search that just soared to number 10 is soon pushed away by the "beat the plagiarist dog" hot search generated by Shen Ying’s brain-dead fans.
In both the authors’ community and the eyes of the public, plagiarism is a very serious accusation.
So people often take the anti-plagiarism side with preconceived notions, with no time to discern the details carefully.
Moreover, some fans who just started following Gu Qiusha tonight were left bewildered, hesitant to make any quick judgment.
Thus, Shen Ying’s brain-dead fans quickly take over the Weibo territory as well.
Then they pressure Penguin Reading: "Severely punish the plagiarist Qianshan!"
As the issue becomes too big to ignore, Penguin Reading’s CEO, Ma Qie, has no choice but to make a statement: "Our commitment to supporting original works remains unchanged!"
Meanwhile, he urgently calls Qianshan.
Zuzi is waiting for the fourth episode, refreshing for ages, and suddenly finds the reading page blank. Is this... did they take down her Xiao Sha?
Zuzi is even displeased.
At this moment, Ma Qie’s call comes through: "Are you Qianshan?"
Gu Qiusha’s alias must remain hidden; the call automatically routes to Zuzi.
Zuzi’s tone is icy: "Did you block Xiao Sha’s comic?"
Ma Qie: "Xiao Shan? How dare you plagiarize the work of a platinum author, do you realize how much trouble you’ve caused me? If it weren’t for the sake of my brother, Director Ma, I wouldn’t have given you the chance to sign a contract at all! As expected, newcomers are unreliable, hurry up and publicly apologize to the great author!"
