[Anti-Crossover Wuxia] The Subway Judge Battles the Six Great Sects

★

#This is a canon-based, privately commissioned fic for Heroes. Please don't bring unrelated fandom discourse here.#

[Anti-crossover wuxia] Includes elements such as a System, cultivation, on-screen comments, mind-reading, cyberpunk, a second-life rebirth, livestreaming, dream men, dream women, sentient character skins, and breaking the fourth wall. Bizarre and melodramatic.

★

The gentle wind of summer stirs the jade ornaments, while a beauty seeking shelter from the heat wears no makeup.

On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the young marquis goes to Songzi Mountain to pay tribute to his adoptive mother, as he always does.

A female Taoist priest in a crystal crown and a thin silk robe stands beside him beneath the pines, where the wind sighs along the quiet nighttime cliff.

Listening to the Waves.

Fang Yingkan has a feeling that this woman came specifically for him.

But why is she holding back?

Could it be that she doesn't want to approach him?

Ren Lao: "Maybe she's deaf."

Ren Yuan: "Perhaps she's mute."

The next time they meet, Fang Yingkan can no longer restrain himself and asks her directly, "Miss, are you seeking love or riches?"

If she wants love, he can grant her love. If she wants riches, he can grant her those, too. But the young marquis never imagines that what she wants is his life.

From the IF story, A Carefree Journey

Q: What hidden story does the A Carefree Journey IF tell?

A: The heroine of a crossover wuxia story, a celestial woman, invades this world. Lei Chun's dream man, a celestial man, fights Su Mengzhen's dream woman, a celestial woman. The celestial man loses. The heroine of this story returns Su Mengzhen, whom the celestial woman healed, to his former unhealthy state. (She also goes after Di Feijing's neck and Wu Qing's legs.) Through special means, she drives off the celestial woman and the men who came to protect her, such as Ximen Chuixue and Chu Liuxiang. The heroine of this story supports Lei Chun's victory and helps her govern the Six and a Half Halls.

1. At most, I return the male characters to their original state in canon: those who were supposed to die die, and those who were supposed to have broken legs have broken legs. Meanwhile, your crossover wuxia circle has come up with brilliant "innovations" like having Lei Chun disfigured and become a mistress to an old man.

Some dream women can't appreciate female characters, so they turn around and accuse Wen Lao of misogyny for writing Lei Chun and Wen Rou as "unlikable." Don't put on an act here. The original male author even had people try to persuade Lei Chun to turn back. Is your idea of a character really more "pro-woman" than Wen Lao's? Do you mean those brainwashing portrayals in derivative works where Wen Rou is stupid and malicious and betrays people, while Lei Chun breaks down and gets jealous?

Fans of male characters, behave yourselves.

Fanfic is a two-way street. Don't dish it out if you can't take it.

2. Online novels love to write female leads and supporting female characters as if the one who loses a male character's love is the one doomed to suffer a miserable fate.

In crossover wuxia stories, Lei Chun is the one who "loses love."

I've made the heroine of this story reflect deeply on questions like: "Why should a male character's love hold the power of life and death? Is a male character's love the deciding vote that determines someone's fate? Must a woman be loved by a male character to have a happy ending?" That reflection is what prompts her to help Lei Chun, the "unloved" woman in the derivative story.

The entire main story exists to provide an excuse for this.

Your circle has even written Fang Yingkan as a poor man deceived and used by Lei Mei. No coffin or body board can contain the dream women anymore. What's wrong with me saying I feel sorry for them? Why are you leaving comments saying this is so hard to watch? Villainous men can still get whitewashed and become the male leads of individual arcs.

3. Some readers have no business coming here and performing their love for women. Which woman do you love? Your character skin?

You claim to love women, yet you read a BE story? What are you pretending for? If you're a true lover of women, you can't bear to see the heroine suffer even a little. Yet you stick around until chapter 80 just to watch men suffer, all while trying to keep both sides happy. What a talent. Would it really be such a hardship to go read a wish-fulfillment crossover wuxia story? Have you shown any sign that you love my heroine? Or are you just unable to live vicariously through her?

(However, some readers do find satisfaction in this story. That's because their FI value is exceptionally high: they feel satisfied when they realize, at the end of the main story, that the heroine's will succeeds while the male lead's attempts to stop her fail.)

Stop trying to guilt-trip authors by treating characters like children. The whole work is my real child. I'm not here to be a mommy-blogger, showing off how well I raise and spoil my protagonist.

Must every writer set out to "give their child a happy life"? Sorry, but I won't write a single word of your assigned essay. Yu Hua didn't write Fu Gui that way, and Cao Xueqin didn't write the Twelve Beauties that way.

/

And some readers: I write a pile of crap, you think I'm trying to serve you something sweet, then you eat it and complain, "Isn't this crap?" I honestly don't know what to say. If I insult you, you understand perfectly well. If I don't, you're so arrogant you treat me like some naive little girl.

/

Everything the heroine does is for herself. I've never claimed she helps Lei Chun because she "loves women." Readers, don't make up some lofty theme I never promised. The theme of this story is crystal clear: never be controlled by love.

I didn't come up with the title on a whim, either.

And I didn't randomly classify the story as romance.

/

Besides the special chapters marked BE, NE, TE, and HE, there is also a UFO ending route. (The story Love's Stain is woven into the main story.) The concept comes from the Silent Hill game series, where a strange, jarringly different IF route appears with a completely different style. (This doesn't mean an actual UFO will appear in this story's UFO ending route. I'm only borrowing its absurd and bizarre nature.)

/

After writing tens of thousands of characters' worth of content warnings only to have readers deliberately ignore them, I've lost faith that readers are reasonable people who can understand what I say. From now on, I won't give any warnings. If you find the story upsetting, that's on you.

And I will personally kick readers out.

I used to allow comments freely, but I don't want to anymore. Neither your triggers nor mine are better or worse than anyone else's. Don't treat mainstream opinions in your circle or other people's derivative brainwashing portrayals as gospel and demand that I pay my respects.

You know perfectly well whether you're a nuisance. For your sake and mine, let's stay out of each other's way and leave it at that. Don't come in here just to throw a tantrum.

You'll lose nothing by reading less of this story.

Read at your own risk and think carefully.

Take responsibility for what you choose to read. I'm not obliged to take on any more responsibility for you readers.

★ In the comments, both I and readers have gotten canon details wrong and talked nonsense. I'll correct them when they come up later in the main story.

★ There are a huge number of author's notes, most of them pointless rambling that makes for a poor reading experience. If you can't stop yourself from developing a negative opinion of the writer, sort that out yourself.

1. Later on, Lei Chun will be able to hear and see on-screen comments, inner thoughts, and comments related to her.

2. Later on, Lei Chun will learn the original story and understand that her life changed for the worse because the heroine of the crossover wuxia story arrived.

3. The main story is a long and winding tale of love and hate between the heroine of this story and Fang Yingkan. It serves as the prerequisite for unlocking the multiple endings. Fang Yingkan content: 99%. Lei Chun content: 1%.

4. This story's heroine is not the heroine of the crossover wuxia story. She has special characteristics, and the two are enemies.

5. In the bonus story A Carefree Journey, the male characters healed and redeemed by the heroine of the crossover wuxia story will be secretly harmed by this story's heroine.

Every material used for the heroine's character card was photographed by me in person, then edited with image software to adjust the textures and cut out the images before combining them. Don't criticize it as though it were professional fan art.

◆ (The following, along with Chapter 1, is the original content warning.) ◆

If you want to read something specific, find an author you like and commission them. Don't come here and give me a hard time. I didn't write this story specifically for you.

This is the internet, not a company. I'm a fanfic writer, not your subordinate. We're just online acquaintances, not a client and a contractor.

Fanfic writers aren't obliged to produce anything that anyone other than themselves wants to read.

I thought this was basic common sense that needed no explanation.

Also, I don't agree with the so-called "freedom to comment." The prerequisite for freedom to comment is politeness and mutual respect. If you don't like something, scrolling past is what a normal person does. Of course, if someone with no manners insists on coming into another person's home to smash things, there's not much I can do.

"To the Person Who Reported This Story"

I haven't updated in two months. My life has gradually shifted toward reality, but I keep writing because I don't want to abandon the story. I want to finish what I started.

If you're an old reader, that just proves hate lasts longer than love. I resumed updating, and your reports immediately followed. Are you trying to mess with my head and make me give up writing?

If you're a new reader, it means you didn't take in my tens of thousands of characters' worth of content warnings at all, and you never respected me. You're chasing the very thing that triggers you and insisting on getting hurt.

*

I said not to read the story unless you'd finished these tens of thousands of characters' worth of warnings. How did you treat me? Didn't I stress that readers with low tolerance should stay away? I went above and beyond, writing tens of thousands of characters of warnings because I was afraid of upsetting anyone. But you ignored every warning, treated my words like air and let them go in one ear and out the other. What am I supposed to do with readers like you? No matter how I explain it, you won't listen. It's like a pedestrian running into the road with their eyes covered and getting hit by a car. I'm the unlucky driver. Don't you see how ridiculous this is?

You know in your heart how hypocritical you are.

You eat at someone else's table, then flip it over.

*

Maybe, as you say, other readers dislike me too. But at least they're rational and have boundaries, because you're the only one who's sent me a report.

*

There are plenty of things I dislike, but I've never reported a single creator. I will always look down on people who solve their problems by reporting others, and I will never bow to someone who reports me.

No matter how self-righteous the reasons you give for reporting me, or how much more you claim to love my heroine than I do, you haven't put in one ten-thousandth of the effort I have.

I've seen readers in the comments who genuinely like the heroine of this story, so I know all the more clearly that some comments are full of incomprehension and contempt for her. You obviously don't love my heroine, yet you wave her name around while claiming to speak up for her.

I have just one word for you: hypocrite.

Otherwise, why would you happily ignore the way I treat the supporting heroines well and change the scenes where they were hurt in canon? Apparently, that doesn't count as me loving women.

I write angst for an entirely original OC who isn't convenient for you to identify with, so you report me.

You reported me because my heroine made you "unable to enjoy identifying with her."

You call yourself a heroine fan, but you're really just a dream woman. You look down on my heroine and don't love her, yet you demand that she have a sweet, happy romance so you can identify with her. Why not write a dream-woman story yourself?

You just want to use my heroine as a character skin, because her presence hasn't given you the emotional satisfaction you want. There are plenty of signed and contracted writers willing to cater to you. Why not pursue a mutually satisfying relationship with them instead of coming to wreck my home? Why should I cater to you? Do I owe you something? Well, there are plenty of people like you who report others, and I can't change that. You're young and full of righteous indignation, convinced your actions are perfectly just.

*

I don't ask you to read my story. Just don't harass or report a free fanfic.

I don't have the energy to deal with readers who come into someone else's home, don't like the food, and smash the cook's tools. If you insist on dragging this out, you win and I lose. I'll move to another platform. The blurb and first chapter have clear explanations and warnings that run for tens of thousands of characters. It's like people who insist Wen Lao mistreated women, too. If our principles clash, don't come looking for trouble. Go read the authors and stories you like. I truly don't owe you readers anything, and I don't need you to click on my story, especially if you're the sort who likes reporting people. If you don't like it, leave. I don't know what gave you the idea that you could act like an internet emperor over a free story.

I don't want to be dragged down by hatred. I've thought that if you go too far, I'll stop writing and report every author who writes crossover wuxia, so we can all suffer together. But I don't want to become a monster like you.

I'm still following the principle of "fighting with fic."

It's been months, and you still suddenly come back to bite me. You must really hate me. I'm also sorry I didn't give you the sweet romance you wanted, which made you hate me so much. I already said dream women should stay away. Are you still looking for a sweet, pampered romance for the heroine in my story?

*

As a reader of free fanfic, I think you lost your sense of proportion when you reported me. I don't know how old you are, but based on the report you wrote, you seem like a young girl.

I can calmly spend such an important section of the blurb going over this again and again, disregarding the experience of other readers passing by, because I simply don't care about my story's popularity or traffic, or whether people think well of me.

I hope reporting people gets you everything you want in real life, too.

There will be plenty of things you dislike in the future.

You can keep reporting me. As I said, I'll just move to another platform.

I won't indulge you or compromise with you, because this is an unpaid project that has taken a great deal of my time and effort. I truly don't owe you anything. I only regret that I failed to keep you from seeing my writing.

You, as a reader, haven't given me any tangible benefit. If you never loved me, then you don't need to hate me either. I don't want us to have anything more to do with each other.

Ask yourself how many stories on this platform contain the things you reported me for. We were just unlucky enough to cross paths. It's my misfortune to have met you. I'm not capable enough to beat you, but since you like reporting people, one day someone will teach you that reporting isn't all-powerful and won't get you everything you want. You can make my story disappear, but you can't keep making everything you dislike disappear forever.

I respect people who leave bad reviews without reporting me, but I will never reconcile with you.

I've started making arrangements to move the relevant content to AO3. At first, I thought that at worst, you readers and I could trade insults. I can handle it.

But I really don't see the point of being reported. Go ahead and keep doing it. I'll go to another platform. Somewhere, there will be a platform where I'm free to write, even if you don't like it.

I'm also glad I was busy earning money and only wrote 3,000 characters in two months. When I have time, I'll play more games, learn to bake, travel more, and remind myself to stay away from you internet fakes as much as possible.
