Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know

Book-Burning Immortal

The day Hè Wenzhao died was the apocalypse for God of Annihilation's discussion page and cause for celebration for Abusive Romance's. The atmospheres of the two were night and day.

In the discussion page of God of Annihilation—

[What do you mean 'the end'? When I heard such an old book was suddenly getting revised, I rushed to the site to read it, and after following for a million words, the protagonist suddenly... dies? I thought he could still come back to life, but the author wrote 'the end'? What kind of **** ending is this? I ********.]

[Author you ****, why did I pay money for this ****, you made the protagonist into a ****, you ****]

[Wasn't this an old classic? I even bought a physical copy once! Now the protagonist is dead before the end of the first volume. **** author, I want my money back]

[I agree but... previous poster, this book was never printed. Did you read a 1 million word physical copy?]

[Then what did I buy?]

[Was it an especially thick book with especially small text, poor paper quality, which constantly had broken punctuation replaced by question marks? That's called a pirated edition.]

[Forget about the pirated edition. Author, what do you mean by this revision? When Zhao-ge was locked up by Xuanyuan Sect, I was waiting for him to make a comeback, but at the conference he just got burned to death by Yin Hanjiang? And then right afterward, the story was finished? What does this mean?]

[Speaking of this book, God of Annihilation, I always thought it was a classic because of the mind-blowing ending. But now that I've come back to it ten years later, I suddenly feel like the protagonist is kind of a hypocrite and the logic of the harem is questionable. I guess I've grown up and my tastes and outlook have changed?]

[It's probably the same for the author, I guess? After getting older, he looked back on his previous work and just wasn't satisfied with it, so decided to toss it all out and start over. I can understand the author not wanting to face his shameful past, but you have to make a sensible ending, you ****]

[Why are there so many ****s  in this discussion page?]

[Language filters. Curse words aren't suitable for children. This story isn't either, it'll make you doubt your life. Let's just go read no romance stories to clean our eyes.]

The readers of God of Annihilation went from rage to helplessness to finally indifference as they moved on to other stories, while the discussion page of Abusive Romance was harmonious throughout.

In Abusive Romance, revised edition, Baili Qingmiao exited meditation having reached Mahayana, achieving minor enlightenment of the Path of Indifference. After hearing that Hè Wenzhao had died and she had been appointed the new Sect Master, she was silent for a bit, then accepted her new responsibility.

Her disciple Su Huai was puzzled. She was already at Mahayana and would soon be able to ascend, so why did she want to tie herself to Shangqing Sect?

Baili Qingmiao smiled gently at her disciple. "Do you think that Shangqing Sect and the entire righteous path all consists of chasers of fame?"

"All of them, except for you," Su Huai answered angrily.

He had also been listening on True Yin Mountain as Yin Hanjiang interrogated the righteous scum on each and every one of their deeds. When he realized just how much dirt had been smeared on Xuanyuan Sect, he was furious, wishing that Sect Master Yin would just burn everyone there, but Sect Master Yin hadn't done so. He just eliminated the Blood Demon, then gave all the prisoners back to their sects, for them to deal with themselves.
