Part1: Why should I write this article?
A while ago, the senior online writer Wandering Toad mentioned me by the way when he was answering a question on Zhihu, which was a small affirmation for me.
Someone asked me to read it, so I was very happy to read that article.
The unpleasant stuff is in the comments section.
I saw someone I didn’t know at all comment and said, “I suspect that the book Chixin is a fake.”
In fact, this person doesn’t know me at all. He has never watched Chixin Tianxian at all, and he has not even clicked on Chixin’s fan list.
This is how he responded to my question. He said: "It's true that I haven't read your book and don't have time to read it. But on a certain website, many people said so."
Many people said this, so he took it as a fact and could say it anytime and anywhere.
I was very angry.
But in hindsight, why do “many people say that?”
Who is making such rumors?
Who is spreading such rumors?
Things always have a source. Or as many readers have asked, "Why is love so intense? Is it someone I have offended?"
I actually knew the answer all along.
I didn't say it earlier because I think writing itself is the most important thing and shouldn't be distracted by these snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
But when I was taking a break, I suddenly saw such a piece of mouse droppings, and my mood for the whole day was ruined.
I was very angry that day and wanted to write an article like this to sort out the causes and consequences and explain the rights and wrongs.
However, I was in poor condition during that time and it was difficult to update. I couldn't spare the time to write articles.
Later, I simply thought that forget it, and those who are clean will clean themselves up. I speak with my works and my achievements.
But just the day before yesterday, after Chixin Xuntian had achieved the achievement of "writing from sixty to ten thousand orders". Suddenly, another inexplicable person jumped out on Zhihu and directly commented that I was a "big brush".
Since August, there has been an alliance leader almost every day in Chixinxiantian, including one Baiyin, and another who has connected with seven alliances, and this one is still in the top 20 in the monthly voting list.
And I turned out to be what others call a "big brush".
Does your brush use the leader to brush the rankings? Still not stuck at the beginning of the month when the reward is four times the monthly ticket?
Which brush is so stupid that using the same amount of money, it pays three times less for the monthly pass?
Which brush can do it regardless of cost? From February to now, it has been at the top of the sales list and monthly ticket list at the same time every month?
Who is using their own IQ to doubt my IQ?
I decided to write this article.
I don’t believe that those who are clean will be cleansed themselves. If you don't occupy the high ground of public opinion, trolls will occupy it, and idiots will occupy it.
…
…
Part2: Who did I offend?
The cause of the incident was in October 2019, that is, when I first started serializing the series "The Sky Survey of the Heart" and had just updated it to Chapter 5 "If You Have Experienced Everything I Have Experienced".
Someone who I don’t know is one of my readers asked a question on Zhihu, asking, “How do you evaluate the long-form fairy tale “Red Heart Patrolling the Sky” serialized in Qingqidian?”
The question description is - "Judging from the quality of these five chapters, is it possible to become a hit?"
The reason why I'm not sure if this person named "Little Transparent xx" is my reader is because I saw his homepage and liked it seven times. It seems that he is my reader.
But after he rashly raised such a question, he didn't say a word when some people questioned whether this question was directed and acted by me to create hype.
Amid the abuse that filled the screen, not a word was said.
It seems to have disappeared out of thin air.
No explanation was given to me or explained to me.
When I was asked this question by Aite, my first reaction was panic.
There were only three answers to this question, and all of them were blowouts.
I quickly wrote an article, saying that it was just my first time writing online articles. I would never dare to say that I could write a hit. I could only be sure that I would put all my effort into writing.
But as I write this…
A large group of people had already arrived.
[A literary youth written with hypocrisy and cancer, if I can sign a contract, I will lose]
[My three-year-old son writes better than primary school students. 】
[This kind of traditional writer who can’t write stories and can only use seemingly gorgeous but empty-headed writing style to deceive people is really a disaster to write online articles. 】
[Why did love start to waste money? 】
There are also those who analyze sarcasm word for word, and those who teach me how to use punctuation marks...
The list goes on and on. (Many of the answers at that time have been deleted or modified now. So some readers may be surprised when they read it. Not many people were overly aggressive? In fact, out of the 70 or 80 answers at that time, one was more scolding than the others. A ruthless one. The more positive answers were basically added later.)
What are the consequences of this matter?
The three readers who blew the whistle silently deleted their answers.
A reader commented on me and said: Ah Shi, I thought it was very good. But if everyone says this, you must have a lot of questions, right?
But I have given up the thought of publicity on Zhihu and will stop updating Zhihu from now on. I almost gave up the more than 200,000 followers I had accumulated by writing on Zhihu for several years.
I have not responded to any of the attacks under this question.
Even if they go under my article and trample on me, I will just block them silently.
At that time, I only had one idea: I was writing for myself.
I'm not trying to prove it to anyone.
There is such a splendid world in my heart, and I want to describe it. I will always have a close friend.
An interesting point is that most of those people who spoke extremely contemptuously and wanted to trample me into the dust came from the same organization——
"Thatched Cottage Literary Club".
This is an organization where many unknown Internet article writers gather together, probably just for Internet articles.
What is the level of this club?
About a year later, one of them asked on Zhihu, “Why can’t I even pass the signing ceremony after writing so hard?” (The one who taught me how to use punctuation marks.)
I racked my brains to think about the plot every day. Because my grades were bad and I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep all night, I didn't have time to deal with them.
I didn't even respond to those attacks, insults, and tramples.
I guess I shouldn’t offend anyone, right?
But I was still "offended".
The first person I offended was the person named "Yu Sanbei" on Zhihu who analyzed and ridiculed word for word (his account has now been cancelled)
Yu Sanbei claims to be a chief editor, but no one knows which website he is the chief editor of. His identity is one of the founders of Caotang Literary Club.
He did something very interesting.
He established the Caotang Literary Club, invited several people to help, and publicly taught people to write online articles, charging several thousand yuan each. They even came up with the routine of "I'll teach you how to write online articles, and you'll share the income with me after you successfully sign the contract."
If things only come to this point, it will only be an IQ tax.
But after receiving the money, he didn't even want to cheat, and he didn't even bother to attend classes.
After collecting the money, I disbanded the group, canceled my Zhihu account, and ran away with hundreds of thousands of dollars.
All that's left is a bunch of confused newbie authors.
After I heard about this incident, I immediately posted it on Zhihu.
I suggested that the victim call the police immediately and said that I could help contact a lawyer.
Later, a victim contacted me via private message and asked if I could help.
After consulting my lawyer friends, I asked them to keep transfer records, chat records and other evidence, and first go to the police to file a case. You don't even need to go to the court to get this matter, it can be handled at the police station. I said if I need to go to court, I can help hire a lawyer.
Later, Yu Sanbei quickly returned the money.
And those victims... chose to settle down.
If I have offended anyone, I should be offended by Yu Sanbei.
…
…
In addition, the second person I offended was named Zhang Xin (now logged out of Zhihu).
Identity is the veteran of Caotang Literary Club, one of the people who "enthusiastically" helps new Internet writers and is responsible for giving lectures. After the Yu Sanbei incident, we immediately drew a clear line and canceled our account.
This person is the most villainous guy I have ever seen. Even if he is just wearing an ID in the virtual network society, he is so ugly that it makes me want to vomit.
After the question appeared on Zhihu, he first just made a fuss in the comment areas of all my answers——
"It's the boss who dares to say it."
"I'm so pink, and I said what I dare not say."
"The boss really hit the nail on the head."
Later, I saw that the situation of those who criticized my speech was getting better. He then jumped out and posted decisively, saying, "It is really a disaster for traditional writers to write online articles."
You can only follow others if you step on them. Extremely obscene and disgusting.
I still can't figure out why this person disgusts me so much.
I can’t even understand why they are all the ones running the Caotang Literary Club, Yu Sanbei is a liar, but Zhang Xin is a good person?
…
…
As for the rumors about "purely swiping the rankings", they will fall on the third person.
This person's name is "The South is pretty good".
This person is more interesting.
When Yu Sanbei was cutting leeks, he was one of the leeks being cut.
At that time, I was licking all kinds of things in the comment area, and every bite was "big as a fish" or "big as a heart".
He has a pretty good relationship with Zhang Xin, and they probably both discussed me in a certain online author group.
According to his own disclosure, he started writing online articles around that time. He carefully studied the routines, summarized the writing methods of business articles, and wrote them in Lu.
From writing without a dime, I started earning tens of thousands a month, and then to a maximum of 130,000 a month.
At that time, it was probably when my average order was just over a thousand.
In terms of grades, he was much better than me at that time.
But I still can't figure it out. Why does he hate me so much.
Maybe you can help me analyze it.
When I first heard about that question on Quora, Nanfang Hao was one of the people who answered it.
His answer at that time was actually not too harsh, and he told some truths. For example, he had no fan base at all when writing online articles about why love is so serious, and he only had 175 recommendation votes in six days. For example, this question is about putting the nature of love on the fire.
It was a year later that his anger began to grow. (Probably because you feel confident after writing that your monthly income is tens of thousands?)
A reader who noticed me when I was attacked by a group of people was "iron-headed" and asked on Zhihu a year later, "One year has passed, how can I give a fair evaluation to the work "Sky Heart Patrol"?"
Nanfang was very good, but he jumped out and said, "You can't bully a young man into being poor even with this grade?"
And I suspect that the person who asked the question a year later is the same person as the person who asked the question a year ago. The fans who are trying to explain why are really disgusting.
Later it was discovered that it was a misunderstanding and he even apologized to Tietou Langfanyun.
He also revised his answer and praised me, explaining why I could hold on for so long and deserve the title of "man".
Oh, in the comment section of another answer, in February 2021, he trolled a passerby from November 2020, saying that he was a crazy fan. Later I found out that the time was wrong and apologized.
It feels like a firecracker that explodes when it sees someone and apologizes after it explodes.
But if things end here, it seems that we will have nothing to worry about.
Under the question of one year later, I also wrote an article seriously, emphasizing that "I can't evaluate my works. You might as well look at them again ten years later.", "I don't want to knock anyone down, I just want to write my work well." story."
I really have no intention of wasting my precious time in endless arguments.
…
The problem arose in February.
Readers who have followed along all the way know that in Chapter 233 of the volume "The Road Is Difficult" on February 1, "Why Huai Bi is Not Guilty", I said that I wanted to be on the list.
I said I want to make a big recommendation.
I said that I had written for more than a year, 2.3 million words, and there was only one exemption. The average subscription is only 1,700, and the monthly ticket list is hovering around 200. I stayed up until I couldn't stand it any longer.
I said I was sure my work was good, I just needed an opportunity for exposure.
I want to hit the list, I want to hit the top 100 monthly votes.
Or be like Yin Guan and become a god in one battle. Or be like Yang Jiande, risk everything and perish with the country.
Everyone knows what happened next.
Readers became leaders one after another, silver one after another, like Lulu Ashu, who used to watch pirated copies, and they all came to give rewards, which directly pushed Chixin Xuntian to the top ten in monthly votes!
The amount of rewards that month was 128,684 yuan.
I will never forget that February. That was the time when I gritted my teeth and persisted in writing more than two million words, and finally succeeded.
That's when the "Bear-Hearted Sky Survey" began. To this day, it remains at the top of the sales list and monthly ticket sales list.
…
However, Nanfang was very good, but suddenly in mid-February, they publicly accused me of cheating on the rankings. And he told me that all the author groups he hung out with were saying the same thing.
I still don't understand where his ill will towards me comes from. I don’t understand where the ill will of those people in the group of authors he mentioned comes from.
I asked him, if I wanted to write it, why didn’t I do it when I had hundreds of thousands of words, and why I had to wait until I had 2.3 million words to do it? Have you calculated the cost? When you have hundreds of thousands of words, you may only need a few thousand yuan to clean the list. To write several million words would cost hundreds of thousands. Won't this account be settled?
He didn't answer.
It’s easy to say in the south: Up to now, your book has all the recommendations you should have, but you don’t even have a high-quality one. Doesn’t that explain the problem?
But in fact, there was only one limited-free recommendation for Chixinxantian at that time, and it was during the site-wide limited-free period. These are all data that can be checked directly on the website!
I asked him, you didn’t even check, why did you just open your mouth?
He didn't answer.
Nanfang is very good and said that the leaders of the sincere heart are all brushes.
I said I can invite you into my leader group, and you can verify the authenticity one by one. You can also click on the fan list to see for yourself whether those leaders are fake.
Brother Yan even saw my debate on Zhihu at that time and took the initiative to tell me that he could go to Zhihu to testify for me.
Later, Brother Yan went to testify.
It’s easy for Nan Bian to change his mind and say, I admit that your fans are awesome. But I don’t admit that your book is awesome.
(It was probably around that time that his circle started talking about Chixinxantian as a fandom again. What’s funny is that the earliest interrogation Hezhen had no fan base at all. He only had 175 recommendation votes in 6 days. It happened to be that the south side was pretty good. myself.)
Nanbian is very good and said that only subscription is true.
I also recognized the caesarean section certificate powder. I showed him a screenshot of the 100,000 new subscriptions I added every day. Any author who has signed a contract with Qidian should know what the concept of adding 100,000 new subscriptions per day is, and should know that this is a sign that the work is rapidly increasing its authorized readers.
But he stared at the total subscriptions and said, you have been writing for so long and only have this few total subscriptions?
I said that my grades were really bad before, and I didn’t deny it.
I wrote 2.3 million words in obscurity but maintained quality and quantity. I lived off my savings. I have never denied that. Is this a black spot?
I asked the south side, which is so good, why they came to hack me when they didn’t even know the basic rules of the starting point.
He said that fans pay for their behavior and idols pay for it.
How do fans behave?
After I silently wrote more than two million words, some of my readers saw the 2019 question on Zhihu and mocked the people who mocked me.
It was just such a thing that made Nanfang Qinghao hate me.
He said it's been a year and your fans are still judging us. If we don't look for you, who will we look for?
This is why he slandered me.
This is why they spread rumors everywhere.
If you people feel that being criticized is being harmed.
Then what was it that you trampled on with all your contempt?
If others attack you and make you feel wronged and angry, then when you attack others, have you ever thought about how others feel?
If you feel pain. Have you ever thought about how when I was being trampled all over the screen, I answered seventy or eighty times from beginning to end, and each one was scolded harder than the last. How am I feeling?
The most important thing is - I write it alone, I don't make money from my character, I don't sell my face, I don't have any endorsements. When does the author need to pay for the actions of the readers?
As of now, I have one hundred alliances, ten thousand orders, and two stars of glory. Including piracy, the number of readers is conservatively estimated to be in the millions.
Every reader has his own independent will.
Who can I control?
I tell readers again and again that I never want to slap anyone in the face, I just want to write my story.
What else can I do?
When you people mocked me, I ignored it.
You can't bear it when others look down on you and ridicule you? Are you running over to me?
Take my disdain as weakness!
This group of core members of the Caotang Literary Club.
Yu Sanbei, Zhang Xin, these people in the south, and their respective small circles.
Every day I pretend to teach people how to write on Zhihu, giving them pointers on this and that.
He hangs out in various groups of street authors and hangs out in various piracy forums.
He has very good appeal, but unfortunately this appeal is only reflected in slandering others.
I can’t even add a subscription to myself!
None of these people have any worthy works. No one has the author's name that dares to be revealed to others.
To this day, I hide behind an online mask.
If something goes wrong, you will shrink back, cancel your account, and withdraw from the network.
Just this kind of people, these people, some people actually believe what they say. The rumors they made spread everywhere.
And during the time when I was scolded the worst, I didn’t even respond to a single word. I just added the words “Chixin Xiantian” to my Zhihu homepage.
At that time I thought, if it is a bad work, let it be a scar on my face. It's ugly and I'm ugly.
Now who the fuck is ugly?
When my grades were not good, I said my grades explained everything.
When my grades improved, I said they were all bad.
When I don’t have any fans, I laugh that I don’t have any fans and I can’t get a hundred subscriptions.
I have fans, and they accuse me of being a fan.
Did you fucking let you brats say all the right things and wrong things?
You people always stare at others and never pay attention to your own works. You rush to the street again and again, and you only scold this and that every day.
What about those who actually put their heart and soul into writing? What about those who put their minds into their works?
Can we just let the slander go?
You can hide behind the mask and continue to spread rumors and smear me.
But today I will call out you rats first.
Three cups of fish, Zhang Xin, it’s nice in the south, it’s sunny.
Come again with another mask.
Nameless rat!
…
…
Part 3: The results of the sincere inspection of the sky are dignified and upright
From tips, subscriptions, chapter activity, book friend circle activity, monthly ticket list, and sales list, you can verify the true performance of this book.
Anyone with eyes can verify the facts for themselves.
But many people don’t even need to read the book or browse the fan list. They can happily publicize the “black spots” of the book with just “I heard about it.”
Who are these people?
I started writing with fifty-nine subscriptions, and by the time I had written more than three million words, I had ten thousand subscriptions.
If you take a broken bowl and start conquering the world, until you have everything you need, isn’t this achievement worthy of being called an honorable one?
I think after this article is published, someone will definitely say something else——
"If you have time to write this, why not write a few more chapters?"
"Which author has never been hacked? This author really has a heart of glass."
If the bedbug doesn't bite you, you won't feel any pain. It hurts.
If I had ignored it in the first place, if I had remained silent.
These little guys probably won’t keep chasing me and biting me. Therefore, the ancients said, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Therefore, the ancients said, "Big things are reduced to small things," and then "the troubles are settled."
So an author, or any public figure, is best left silent.
Because if you say anything or express any point of view, some people will misinterpret it and object to it. To make a sound is to drive away readers.
It is best to be silent so that you can embrace more readers and make more money.
Writing machines stripped of personality are the safest.
But I don't want that.
I did nothing wrong, why am I silent?
I wrote in the book, "If no one raises a fire in the darkness, tonight will be an eternal night. If no one raises a voice about it, silence will be an accomplice!"
Outside the book, am I silent?
Do I even have to turn a blind eye to the dirty water that has been poured onto my own works?
In this era, those who purify themselves can no longer purify themselves.
So I came to clear my name myself.
I am responsible for every word in this article.
Anyone I mentioned can come and confront me. See if I have a lie.
Until now, I have not spent a penny on this book except for giving myself a genuine subscription with the author's account and paying for the cover myself.
The results of the sincere heart survey are dignified.
Of the 188 alliance leaders who have been surveying the sky so far, if anyone can find one that I have such strong feelings for, they will show evidence to smash me in the face.
I pledged to donate 100,000 RMB to charity, and at the same time reward this person with 100,000 RMB.
I think no one who handles it would be willing to give up 100,000 yuan, right?
You are welcome to inquire at each brush.
…
…
Part4: Add three points.
First.
I personally think that Wandering Toad is an outspoken person, and at the same time, he is an author whose writing style is completely different from mine.
When asked about the Zhihu question in 2019, he commented, "If I tell the truth, I will definitely not be welcomed by others."
I don't think he stepped on me on purpose. I just think our creative ideas are completely different. Therefore, he would not approve of the opening chapter of "The Sky with the Heart".
When my grades were still very poor, this is what I told readers, "We have different creative concepts. What he said is probably right, but I also believe in myself."
I still say that now.
Of course, the words of Toad, as the ancient master of Internet literature, gave courage to people such as Yu Sanbei and Zhang Xin. This influence is there. But it can't be said to be his fault.
He expresses his opinions honestly, that's all.
I have no conflict with him.
Including later when I was so angry at Nanfang Tinghao, it was also Toad who told me, "No one in the Internet literary circle cares about whether you have read or not, they only care about your results. When you subscribe, naturally there will be no voice."
It was this sentence that made me put down my emotions for a while and concentrate on writing.
Of course, it turned out that what he said was not entirely correct...
I’ve written about Baimeng, Wanding, and ranked it at the top of the monthly sales list, but there are still flies coming in front of me. Buzz after buzz!
second.
I personally completely understand the way the website recommends distribution based on merit.
Because there are too many entries into the database every day, and editors take over too many authors, it is impossible to manage everyone.
Of course, when I was anxious and painful, I did sometimes feel resentful. For example, why would you not recommend it to me even if it was recommended to a eunuch? At least I will never be a eunuch.
But think about it carefully, where can you see it? You have a book with two million words and only one thousand orders. If I were the editor, I wouldn’t read it carefully.
After all, it was Bei He who signed this book, which had an unflattering beginning and a few thousand words without a main character.
And when my grades were not good, he patiently listened to my complaints and did not ignore me.
At that time, when two million words were reserved for one thousand words, Beihe said that this result was good for a newcomer. I told Bei He that what I wanted to match was the performance of the great master. My stubborn self-confidence was not laughed at.
Although there were no good recommendations at that time, it was indeed because of poor grades.
Later, once the results were matched, we had all the recommendations we should have. No activity left me behind.
So, thanks to my editor.
Thanks to the editor-in-chief Bei He and the editor-in-chief Fu Chen.
Thanks to them for thinking of me when good things happen.
third.
The smearing of Chixin is not just about slandering Chixin. They come in various angles.
For example, there is one that says, "A sincere reader will reject other books."
Just a few days ago, I met a person who was known as a sincere reader. He went to Mr. Chen Dong's book and asked Chen Dong to learn writing from Qing He Shen, which directly caused a wave of quarrels.
Our assistant Zhang said that we were frightened and rushed over to apologize. The operator rushed over to explain without stopping.
I felt sorry for my operators, so I went to make an alliance myself and posted to explain the situation.
As a result, this person who claimed to be a pure heart reader did not even subscribe to the chapter "Chi Xin Surveying the Sky".
What do you think these people are like?
Another time, someone posted on Zhihu and said, "The writing is good, but it's disgusting for readers to go to other book circles."
I responded immediately after seeing it, hoping that this person could take a screenshot and send it to me. If it were my reader, I would definitely deal with it,
But the person didn't reply to me.
I don't know why.
When there are many people gathered together, there will always be a variety of voices, and there will be no end to them.
I have seriously emphasized in the readership group that readers should not talk about other people’s works and not criticize anyone’s books. I emphasized this many times. Whenever I see someone criticizing a certain book or author, I will immediately stop them. Readers of the genuine book club can testify to this.
As soon as there are posts similar to disapproval in the Qidian Book Friends Circle, the operation team will immediately warn them to delete the posts.
Apart from managing the official circles and book club groups, I and our operations have no control over anything else.
How should we care about someone who hides his skin to gain slander in other people's books?
I can't let others use my skin to pull and step on me once. I will go to the alliance myself to write an explanation, and the alliance will be all over the starting point, right?
As an author, and my operators as readers who love Sky Survey, we have been doing the best we can.
What else can we do?
Most readers will not read just one book. There are thousands of readers. When a reader does something, the behavior may be annoying to you, but how can you accurately attribute this reader to me and blame me for it?
I do not know why. I just wrote something, but something as advanced as Pipihei actually appeared.
As an author who wrote an online article for the first time and wrote two million words, am I worthy of this star?
I don't know why this is the trend now.
They can spread rumors and slander at will, but you and your readers cannot refute it.
The author's retort is that he has a glassy heart and cannot accept any criticism.
The readers' rebuttal is that they are a fan circle and a protector.
But what is rumors? What is slander?
Why turn a blind eye to these real viciousness, these truly despicable behaviors?
What breeds this garbage?
I think it is silence!
So I write this article.
…
…
"A clear stream of water meanders by itself.
It can wash bluestone and purify the moon.
But rotten leaves and dead branches also swim with the waves, as do smelly fish and rotten shrimps!
Go to hell! "
