Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?

Chapter 165 This is such an exaggeration!
Finally, I sincerely wish you a successful surgery. No matter what, I hope you can survive.

Because the court is waiting for you—

(End of text)
After typing the last bracket, Yu Wei breathed a sigh of relief. After all this trouble, he had finally finished writing "Malice".

Copying novels is much more difficult than copying music. It is not only time-consuming and laborious, but its influence and reach are also incomparable to music. It is a thankless task.

Yu Wei writes this stuff mainly because it fits his own persona. To put it pragmatically, writing books is the only way he can maintain a steady career, allowing him to advance or retreat as needed.

Of course, his real intention was simply to treat the readers to something nice...

When Yu Wei looked back after completing his mission, the orderly shooting atmosphere he had envisioned did not materialize. Instead, the entire set was filled with a dull atmosphere of extreme fatigue.

The director was still behind the monitor, but he had already taken off his headphones, leaned his neck against the back of the chair, stared blankly at the ceiling, and unconsciously twirled a pen in his hand.

The photographer next to him simply plopped down on the floor, leaning against the iron legs of the tripod, closing his eyes to rest, his chest rising and falling slowly.

The lighting technician and several stagehands were leaning haphazardly against the equipment boxes against the wall. Some were looking down at their phones, while others were simply staring blankly with their heads tilted back, their faces filled with boredom, exhaustion, and emptiness.

"What's going on?"

What's going on? He's still asking what's going on...

While the advertising creative director was amused, he also fully realized one thing: this kind of high-intensity writing was probably Yu Wei's daily routine.

He must be used to it by now, so he doesn't think it's a big deal.

If those who were waiting were like this, then Yu Wei, the writer, was even more so. He sat there, completely absorbed in typing over ten thousand words. This kind of thing can't be acted out.

Choosing him as a spokesperson was definitely the right decision; his passion for words is truly admirable.

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Yu Wei."

Other celebrities would be unhappy if they made everyone work overtime, but Yu Wei is different because he does it all himself.

Unlike some diva-like celebrities who single-handedly slow down the entire film set, he simply did his job. They were just working together.

In this situation, everyone would naturally accept working with him, and there would be no imbalance, since writing is much more tiring than just waiting.

"It's nothing, I just took up everyone's time."

Yu Wei is quite perceptive; writing over 10,000 words does take a bit of time, but it's still manageable, the time is still within a reasonable range.

Shooting an advertisement for a whole day is quite normal in the industry, but only Yu Wei actually shot for a whole day in the truest sense...

The video is five hours and twenty minutes long, which is a homophonic number, a good omen. I wonder what everyone thinks of such a long advertisement.

Actually, Yu Wei had already finished writing for a while, and was checking it in the last little bit of time. Even if she copied it from memory, it was still easy to make typos when typing by hand.

A few typos in online novels are relatively acceptable, but suspense novels are meant to provide immersion, and typos can easily break the immersion.

He casually released the last chapter, and now the readers really have to forgive him... Cherish it, after this good meal, he'll start making history again!
……

"That's almost true."

Shen Yutong listened to the diminished seventh chord she played, trying to create a dark, ambiguous, and unresolved feeling, but no matter how she changed it, she couldn't achieve the desired effect.

She is currently writing a new song, a serious work with a sense of suspense, on the theme of the evil in human nature, inspired by Yu Wei's novel "Malice".

"Add some semitones for temporary tuning tests."

Shen Yutong was about to continue making changes when her phone screen suddenly lit up, successfully distracting her.

Normally, she wouldn't be distracted by these things when she's creating, but these past two days have been an exception. She's been paying attention to Yu Wei's updates, which is very important for her creative process.

However, the first few times I checked, all I found were spam messages. I hope this time it's a real update...

[Kyoichiro Kato's Explanation (End)]
It actually got an update?

Shen Yutong disregarded everything else and immediately started watching the latest chapters at the piano, hoping that the ending would give her more inspiration.

Inspector Kaga eventually uncovered the most chilling truth: Nonoguchi Osamu not only murdered Hidaka, but also painstakingly orchestrated a comprehensive campaign to discredit Hidaka's character.

He spent two years meticulously preparing to not only take Hidaka's life but also destroy all his achievements and reputation.

Nonoguchi even deliberately included details of Hidaka cruelly killing his neighbor's cat in his testimony in order to denigrate Hidaka's character.

The motivation for all of this stemmed from the unfathomable jealousy and inferiority complex in Nonoguchi Osamu's heart.

He was jealous that Hidaka had achieved his dream of becoming a writer first, jealous of Hidaka's privileged life, and jealous of Hidaka's bright future.

He hated Rigao's kindness because it highlighted his own despicable nature, and he hated Rigao's success because it highlighted his own failure.

Although Shen Yutong had guessed the ending after reading the first eight chapters, she was still shocked when the truth was presented in such a naked and cruel way.

This is not just a murder case, but also exposes the dark side of human nature.

That inexplicable malice of "I just don't like him," that extreme mentality of repaying kindness with enmity, that hatred that not only wants to destroy a person's life but also to completely deny their value, left her unable to calm down for a long time after closing the book.

Shen Yutong has read many books, and she would give this book "Malice" a score of nine or higher. Compared to those simple, mind-bending tricks, she prefers stories that incorporate reflections on human nature.

She greatly admired this book.

Shen Yutong remained silent for a long time, suggesting that it might be better to break the established rhythm with syncopation and irregular rhythmic patterns.

That was the dizziness after the truth was revealed.

……

"I just hate you. You're my closest friend, you're so kind, you knew about my shameful past and kept it a secret, you've always helped me achieve my dreams. But I just hate you."

Qi Yuan stared at Nonoguchi Osamu's confession for a long time without being able to speak. The malice was chilling, but also very real.

Everyone has a dark side, and he had one too.

The difference is that most people ignore envy and jealousy, some people can turn envy and jealousy into motivation to move forward, only demons will feel hatred because of envy and jealousy, and even take action.

The most terrifying aspect of "Malice" is that it doesn't depict murder driven by money or love, but rather malice stemming from the deepest recesses of human nature: jealousy and inferiority. This malice has no specific reason, yet it is more terrifying and enduring than any justified hatred.

Osamu Nonoguchi ultimately paid the price for his evil deeds, but what he left for readers was a profound reflection on human nature and a warning.

Qi Yuan felt that Yu Wei was expressing through this story that the greatest evil in human nature is being unable to bear seeing others do well, especially those around us.

This book is like a mirror, successfully reflecting the fragile and sensitive version of himself from the past.

It's hard to imagine what terrible consequences would result if those emotions were allowed to fester... Luckily, Yu Wei woke him up.

After being thoroughly defeated twice, it's hard not to be convinced.

Yu Wei not only gave readers an unexpected ending to the story, but also gave them an opportunity to examine human nature.

Qi Yuan let out a long breath before finally opening his phone and posting a Weibo message.

A masterpiece!

For each reader, there is a masterpiece in their own mind.

Although the term "masterpiece" has been overused these days, with any Tom, Dick, or Harry daring to call it a masterpiece or a divine episode...

After all, the so-called masterpiece is just a subjective evaluation, and there is no specific standard.

However, it is no exaggeration to call "Malice" a masterpiece. Many who admire the book regard it as Keigo Higashino's best work, on par with "Journey Under the Midnight Sun".

One is filled with deep resentment, the other with burning, passionate love.

After "Malice" ended, netizens' overall reviews followed one after another. There is no doubt that it is a good work, but how good exactly is still debatable.

"After reading this, I felt a chill run down my spine. I wonder if there is such malice around me."

"Not only those around us, but we ourselves may harbor malice."

"It's so well written, a masterpiece, although I haven't read it yet."

The most direct reaction of ordinary readers to "Malice" is shock and chill. This feeling comes not only from the case itself, but also from the novel's naked presentation of the dark side of human nature.

Yu Wei's writing style also feels very novel to everyone. The identity of the murderer is revealed in the third of the novel, breaking the routine of traditional detective novels.

To be honest, this structural arrangement initially caused some readers some pain, making the reading experience both irritating and dull.

However, it is precisely this unusual narrative style that makes them unconsciously resonate with the story during the reading process.

"Just when you think you've grasped all the possibilities of the case, Yu Wei pulls out a new twist to completely surprise you."

The multiple plot twists are also a point of praise for the book "Malice," which constantly overturns the previously established "truth," allowing readers to experience the shock of having their thinking subverted.

This is the first time that Yu Wei's writing skills have been recognized by the public.

There are still many comments from netizens who dislike this book, but a few literary critics who are just trying to ride the wave of popularity have praised it to the skies.

Although it was just to jump on the bandwagon, they did approve of the book "Malice." If they simply wanted to ride the wave, they would have already hailed Yu Wei's entertainment novels as the world's greatest masterpieces...

Ultimately, it's this book that deserves their praise. Those involved in literature tend to be a bit arrogant, and no matter how well they achieve with online novels, it's difficult for them to be recognized by the traditional literary world.

But Yu Wei's book is a little different.

The multi-perspective narrative style of "Malice" is novel, which not only increases the suspense and layers of the story, but also effectively demonstrates the relativity of truth and the subjectivity of narrative.

They particularly admired Yu Wei's innovation in narrative structure.

There are still factional struggles and cliques in the literary world. If a fellow writer produces a good book, opinions within the industry can easily be divided.

But Yu Wei is a complete outsider; his book will only inject some fresh blood into the industry and increase its popularity and traffic.

He's a celebrity, and his books can't shake their status in the industry. People in the literary world aren't stupid; they'll definitely praise a great philanthropist who poses no threat to them.

It generates buzz once it's hyped up, and it's actually quite well-written.

[Author Xia Dan: Lurking beneath the story of "Malice" is a black river, called human malice. Although one can hear the faint sound of flowing water, one cannot easily see its flow.]

This exploration of the darker side of human nature transcends the limitations of suspense novels, giving "Malice" the depth and seriousness of pure literature.
Yu Wei casually flipped through a few posts, and this person's praise was actually relatively conservative...

Some even said he had "master-level narrative skills and profound observations of human nature," which is really an exaggeration.

Praise the book if you want, but why praise him? He's just a copyist of other people's works. Go ahead and brag, be a little proud and he'll lose.

Many netizens were waiting and watching, finding it difficult to follow suspense novels, and were just waiting for the latest update before reading it all at once.

Seeing so many people discussing it and the overwhelmingly positive reviews, I simply flocked in and joined Yu Wei's authoritative reader group.

With the public outcry growing, it's only a matter of time before "Malice" becomes a huge hit.

Eat up, eat more if it's delicious, he's about to start making history again...

Just as he was planning to write a new plot for his entertainment novel, he unexpectedly received a new message from the website editor.

Why didn't you sign a contract for your novel "Malice"?

Since Yu Weifa published his book, they have invited him to sign a contract several times, but he has ignored them all.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that "Malice" is of very high quality, and its commercial value is unimaginable, far surpassing Yu Wei's entertainment novels.

Entertainment novel copyrights are hard to sell, but "Malice" is different; any film or television rights for it can make the platform a fortune.

Any requirements can be discussed, right? I've already sent them out but I still won't sign the contract. It's driving me crazy!

"I'm afraid... it will be adapted into a story about turning into a horse out of fighting spirit."
