Let Me, the Stun Baton, See What You Wooden Cabinets Can Do!

You can't scold Xiaowei! It'll make her head spin, then she'll get angry, and then she'll feel incredibly wronged. You can't treat Xiaowei like that. You have to talk to her nicely, praise her for being well-behaved and sensible, and prepare delicious treats for her. She'll definitely behave obediently then. If you bully Xiaowei, she'll be sad and cry, and her mood will become very low. Why do you bully Xiaowei? She'll also suffer internally, repeatedly wondering if she didn't do enough, even though Xiaowei is so cute… It makes me feel so depressed and upset.

If Emperor Xuanzong of Tang were here, would you feel anything? The same prosperous Kaiyuan era, the same An Lushan Rebellion, the same request to execute Yang Guifei—it turns out the author was Li Longji.

I've only read up to chapter 103 so far, and I'd like to share some personal thoughts. Forcing a cyberbullying CBZ (a derogatory term for a person who engages in online bullying) to sing a phenomenal song like "Uchiage Hanabi" (a popular Chinese song) is just ridiculous. The original ending's treatment of this CBZ was already disgusting enough. For this book to invite her to sing "Uchiage Hanabi" and give her a huge boost in mysterious online traffic, I can only say that everyone has their own dreams and lives their own lives.

"It's tough being a clam; fellow writers are all benefactors," which actually applies to you too. Today I saw a truly amazing author who pretended to be dead. At least the author of this book is willing to revise it. The author wants to make money, and as long as they don't pretend to be dead and write self-indulgent stuff, that's fine. It will pass eventually. Keep going!

To put it bluntly, the reason this has caused such a big fuss is simply because the author used an electric baton to attract readers, and the readers attracted are all driven by purely aggressive desires. However, the author himself still maintains a style of suppressing his own fanfiction. Readers crave constant battles; having a harem is ideal, but not having one isn't essential. The author, however, prioritizes building a harem above all else, even at the cost of ruining character development to fulfill filial duties. Simply put, the author doesn't understand the needs of his readers and has mixed up the needs of Taowen readers and Giraffe readers.

I was furious, but reading the comments section calmed me down a bit. After looking through them, I can basically understand the author's revision strategy: they're focusing on chapter 130. The previous minor issues were about the character in Vol. 130, Which could potentially be improved if the main character is handled well later. However, this time the plot twist is completely different, and many readers have pointed out two issues: 1. The wooden cabinet inexplicably gained an unfair advantage, and it was even an underhanded trick by an outsider. The protagonist went from being completely at ease to almost being humiliated and hung on a pillar of shame. The selling point of the "power fantasy" was not only diminished, but it directly turned into shoving shit in the reader's face. (To prevent new readers from not understanding, here's a note: In Chapter 130, the author initially had the protagonist win 3:2, then changed it to 4:1, then to 5:0, but the judges tried to salvage the protagonist's reputation, and now the judges are criticizing the protagonist for having lost the bottom line as a musician.) 2. The sense of security you feel when immersing yourself in the character is gone. The system + plagiarism formula needs to understand that the underlying logic for popularity is its alignment with ordinary people's fantasies: "Even if I'm a loser, with a system I can become incredibly strong." When you add a real person under the guise of paying homage to Sawano Shojiro, this boundary is broken. The protagonist instantly transforms from a rising music star from another world into an ugly, plagiarizing rat. Because it constantly reminds you, "You're a loser who's nothing without the system." 3. Another problem is that your protagonist's character and persona have collapsed. If you remember saying something like, "The reason I chose ♿️Stick♿️ instead of 🐶 is that Stick is actually a decent ordinary person outside of LoL, while 🐶 has character issues," then there's already a problem when the protagonist "condescends" to participate in a smurfing competition because 🐘 wants to step on him to get ahead. (The best solution here would be to let Mother Chicken Card level up and then arrange a higher-level competition, where Mother Chicken Card is brought back to reality while the protagonist continues to dominate.) This way you can preserve the protagonist's strength and prevent the mother hen card from looking too bad. It also prevents you from having to create a harem storyline for the wooden cabinet later (which is much more difficult now). Then, the plot after the protagonist decides to participate becomes increasingly abstract. The "fish-frying" aspect already has limited appeal, and the later episodes reduce audience reaction to highlight the gap between the two sides. Instead, they focus on the protagonist's self-righteous declaration of wanting to crush everyone because he can't stand the ideas of other "wooden cabinet geniuses." At this point, it's no longer a stick, it's just showing off. Have you forgotten that you're also a shameless plagiarism system? So arrogant that you think you can arbitrarily judge others' musical attitudes, when in fact you're the most shameless and attitudeless one. Finally, judging from the comments, it's clear you really struggled with the revisions. You might even have realized through these comments that the problem wasn't just in chapter 130 but earlier. But, "What can I do? Rewrite this part from scratch?" It's obvious you ultimately decided to stick to chapter 130. To that, I can only say, this isn't a pile of shit, but a stinking ditch. It's just that the shit piled up in chapter 130 and then exploded.

What are you trying to do, making it 3-2? Is it not embarrassing for the old man to lose? Could it be that you really are Xiangxiao?

I've done my filial duty to Xiang, so I don't even care about the difference in quality between the songs themselves. #(Laughing and crying)#(laughing and crying)#(laughing and crying)

Introducing a real-world genius into a crossover anime world that's all about plagiarism is one thing, but then they have to go head-to-head with the protagonist. Of course, the protagonist, using his own band's music, can't win, and that's fine, the audience's here for the story, they'll just ignore it. But then this plagiarized song goes and attacks the protagonist! It's like they're going head-to-head with someone from the lower class. This attempt at homage backfired spectacularly. Oh, bro, I'm sorry, or why did this turn out so badly? Oh, and by the way, you're not allowed to say she's my dad 😭 We added a hug in chapter 130, can you feel the love? 😉

I think I've seen this episode before, it's the one where they lost money selling dogs #(laughs)
