Finally, what made readers' bad emotions reach the extreme was what happened after becoming the Monkey King.
As we all know, after becoming the Monkey King, the Jade Emperor asked Sun Wukong to guard the Peach Garden.
It is also well known that what will happen if you put a monkey into a peach orchard, so Sun Wukong ate all the ripe peaches in the peach orchard without exception.
When the Seven Fairies came in to pick peaches and told Sun Wukong that a peach event was about to be held, but Sun Wukong was not included in the invitation list for this event. Feeling slighted again, Sun Wukong not only made a big fuss at the Peach Fair, but also drank up all the fine wine at the Peach Fair. He also ran into Taishang Laojun's Tushita Palace and drank all the golden elixirs inside. Er Jing.
After sobering up, Sun Wukong also felt that things were serious, so he simply patted his butt and left, returning to Huaguoshan again.
This plot is still not a problem for Chinese people, and they will even applaud the monkey's behavior. However, from the perspective of readers in the author's world who do not have the filter of Journey to the West, this plot is simply extremely poisonous, so poisonous that it makes people laugh. Feeling uncomfortable all over.
"This is not a monkey, this is a piece of shit!" 》
That night, a reader angrily posted such a post on social media, which he wrote.
When I first read Journey to the West, I thought it was very interesting to use a monkey as the protagonist. It was a huge innovation and it would be an extremely interesting book.
During the Fangcun Mountain section, I felt that Sun Wukong was both perseverant and wise, making him even more attractive.
But when it came to the Golden Cudgel section, I realized that monkeys are still monkeys and cannot change their monkey nature.
Later on in the Bi Mawen episode, I changed my mind and felt that at least this monkey had a true nature, which was much better than many hypocritical people.
But after he turned around and became the Monkey King, I discovered that this monkey still has a lot of humanity, and it is the most stinky part of humanity. But most humans may not be as good as this monkey, so I can still barely watch it.
But when it came to the Pantao Club updated yesterday, I really couldn't bear it anymore. I suddenly realized that I might be insulting human beings by describing Sun Wukong as a human being. He is a completely self-centered person who only considers himself and not others. Or monkey shit.
Let's see what this monkey did.
After this monkey became the Monkey King again, at first he traveled around in heaven and made friends with various gods and goddesses. This was normal.
But since he became an official in heaven, he still had to work, so it was normal for the Jade Emperor to give him a job of guarding the Peach Garden.
There is a truth that all workers in this world understand. You are not required to do one job and love the other. You must at least do your own job well. It can almost be called the lowest moral standard.
But what did the monkey do?
As the caretaker of the Peach Garden, he ate all the peaches in the Peach Garden. Don't let anyone come to me to clean up his behavior. Don't tell me that throwing the monkey into the peach orchard is his own fault. I just want to ask if this kind of guarding and stealing behavior has completely exceeded the bottom line of human beings?
And stealing things will be discovered sooner or later. For humans who have broken through the moral bottom line, what they do at this time is to either admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness, or simply run away.
But what did this Sun Wukong do?
Instead, because he was not invited to someone else's peach party, he went to make a big fuss at the peach party, making the entire venue a mess and causing his unit to suffer huge losses.
Okay, to take a step back, you can say that the Jade Emperor looked down on Sun Wukong first, so Sun Wukong went to cause a riot at the Peach Fair.
So what grudge does Taishang Laojun have against Sun Wukong?
An old man like Taishang Laojun has worked hard all his life in heaven, doing the hardest work, just to provide elixirs to other gods. Although Taishang Laojun seems to have a very high reputation, and other gods also treat him very much. Respect, but in the final analysis, this is a low-level production work in heaven.
I don’t know how many times harder it is for those carefree gods who are carefree every day, either flying in the sky or drinking in the Milky Way, and never care about anything. In fact, they are the poor people at the bottom of the heaven.
Thanks to Taishang Laojun's ability to make elixirs, he was still somewhat useful, so he barely gained some respect from others.
Taishang Laojun is such a poor immortal. He finally made some elixirs, but they were all harmed by Sun Wukong.
What did Taishang Laojun do to offend Sun Wukong? You, Sun Wukong, actually turned your anger on such a lonely old man at the bottom. Is this still a human being?
Taking a step back, you can also say that Sun Houhou has a true temperament, cannot bear any grievance, and is a real man.
Well, since Monkey Sun is a real man, and you caused a peach party and smashed the Tushita Palace, then should you rush to heaven with your head held high, pat your chest and tell everyone that it was me who did this? Yes, you can kill or chop me as you please, Grandpa Monkey will fight you to the end.
Then Sun Wukong began to rebel, and he had a head-on confrontation with Heaven. The sky was dark and the earth was dark, and the sun and moon were blurred. I also admit that you, Sun Wukong, are a real man.
But what about Sun Wukong?
After he sobered up, he actually ran away, fled back to his Huaguo Mountain without saying a word, leaving behind the mess he made and ran away. What kind of real man is this?
It's so fucking disgusting.
——————
This scolding on social media can be regarded as scolding what was in the hearts of many readers. Then "Journey to the West" ushered in an unprecedented storm of public opinion, and various data began to plummet.
Because the Original Heavenly King was already a very famous author ID in the entire world at this time, "Journey to the West" was also ranked first in the new book list at this time, and it can be said to be the hottest new book this year.
Many media saw the popularity, so they directly conducted a reader vote to let readers rate the character Sun Wukong.
As a result, more than 7.83 million readers participated in the voting in 5 days. Unexpectedly, the score of the character Sun Wukong was as high as 9.5 points...if the full score of this voting was not 100 points.
These circumstances caught Liu Xu off guard. He had always thought that Journey to the West would be like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, an unprecedented success in the world and receive rave reviews.
But Liu Xu found that he had also fallen into the Journey to the West filter, and completely failed to discover the various poisonous points hidden in Journey to the West, which ultimately led to such a bad reversal in public opinion.
