In the live stream, the chat was still flooded with comments.

[That's right, update soon!]

[That's right, this isn't enough to read, hurry up and start writing!]

I want to see Lu Mingfei pull off a stunning comeback, slap his face in the face, marry a beautiful and wealthy young woman, and reach the pinnacle of life!

[I'm so angry I want to smash my phone! Release the next chapter right now!]

[Holy crap, Dragon Raja has been updated!]

Wait, I'll go check right away.

……

The viewers who were originally teasing Ye Zhou have now all turned into eager fans urging for more updates, with many of them having followed the trail to find him.

This caused the number of online users, which had been gradually stabilizing, to surge again.

Although not as exaggerated as before, it is still steadily climbing.

However, after the latest chapter of "Dragon Raja" was released, the number of online viewers decreased at a visible rate.

at the same time.

The readers were thrilled when they heard the news of the update for "Dragon Raja".

"It's updated! It's really updated! Ye Zhou is forever a god!"

Jiang Hao opened the chapter with great anticipation, already imagining Lu Mingfei's domineering comeback and the shock of the entire audience.

But the next second, the smile on his face froze.

There was no comeback.

He did not appear.

There are no highlights.

Only the glaring lights of the movie theater, the laughing classmates, the dazzling Zhao Menghua, and the completely ignored, foolish Lu Mingfei.

Every word pierces the heart, every sentence is filled with pent-up frustration.

That feeling of helplessness, inferiority, and embarrassment that made him want to disappear into the ground struck Jiang Hao hard through the screen.

The more he looked, the more suffocated he felt in his chest.

The more I looked, the more my nose stung with tears.

"How could this happen..."

"Lu Mingfei is so pitiful!"

"Author, are you even human?! Why did you have to torture him like this?!"

The higher your expectations, the harder you'll fall.

The more passionate you are one second, the more vulnerable you become the next.

Jiang Hao's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

"You call this a 'feel-good' novel?"

He gripped his phone tightly, his voice trembling: "This is clearly a case of killing someone by breaking their spirit."

The author tears apart beautiful things for the readers to see, exposes the wounds of humility and rubs salt into them, and then simply stops updating!

Isn't this just killing someone by destroying their spirit?

Sun Community, guardhouse.

In Ye Zhou's mind—

The system notification sound blasted through the sky!

[A reader's intense frustration +666!]

[Extreme sympathy from a reader +888!]

[999 points of emotional breakdown from readers!]

[The grievances from readers across the internet +1314!]

[From...]

The screen was flooded with a dense barrage of notifications that just wouldn't stop.

This time, Ye Zhou did not choose to block out these notification sounds.

Ye Zhou slowly opened his eyes and looked at the system panel.

The numbers surged like a tsunami:

[Mood score: 30912...]

[Mood score: 52679...]

[Mood score: 98741...]

In just one hour.

The emotional value immediately broke through the 100,000 mark and is still skyrocketing.

The live stream chat was filled with insults and profanities.

【Ye Zhou, you're not human!】

I thought it was a triumphant comeback, but this is what you show me?

【Give me back my tears! You tragedy novel author!】

This is so frustrating! It breaks my heart to watch!

The razor blades are already on their way; you can decide for yourself what to do!

Chen Wenwen must die! Zhao Menghua must die! The system has matched you with an urban novel category. Click here.

This is utterly devastating! It's like killing someone by breaking their spirit!

[Update soon!]

……

The viewers who were just cheering for the update were now all red-eyed, and the screen was filled with wails, emotional breakdowns and angry curses.

After a sharp drop in viewership, the number of viewers in the live stream suddenly rebounded, but this time, those who returned were all readers who had been thoroughly ripped off.

Ye Zhou leaned back in the guardhouse chair, listening to the system notifications that were almost overwhelming his mind, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

This is nothing!

When Lao Tang died, when Xia Mi sacrificed herself to protect Chu Zihang and finally turned into a golden beam of light in the subway station, when Erii misunderstood Lu Mingfei's name her whole life and never learned his true identity until her death.

Only then will you know what true cruelty and true resentment are.

"Brother Ye, the live stream... has exploded." The cameraman swallowed hard. "Everyone's saying you're not human, and some people are even threatening to send you razor blades."

"Don't rush to scold me."

Ye Zhou faced the camera with an innocent smile, his voice light yet incredibly penetrating:

"The next chapter will definitely be a satisfying story of a comeback and a face-slapping victory."

"I was originally planning to update them all at once, but you guys were really pushing me, weren't you?"

"I've already satisfied you, haven't I?"

The live stream went silent for a moment after these words were spoken.

The next second, the barrage of comments exploded across the screen.

[Satisfying us? You call that satisfying us?!]

I've cried all my tears, and you're telling me this is satisfaction?

【Ye Zhou, are you toxic?!】

So, the more we cry, the happier you are, right?

Do you think I still believe that nonsense?

This is definitely mocking us!

……

Ye Zhou leaned back in his chair, basking in the warm sun, and looked at the rapidly increasing emotion value on the system panel, his smile deepening.

Cry, curse, break down.

Every time you break through,

Everything I wanted—

Mood score.

"Many people in the live stream are asking when the next update will be?"

At that moment, the photographer suddenly asked in a low voice.

"As for the next update, it depends on my mood."

Ye Zhou turned to the camera and said, "It could be tonight, or it could be tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow."

Live Stream Room

[Author, you're not human!!]

【We're already like this, and you're still experiencing writer's block!!】

【I'm not watching anymore, do whatever you want.】

[Ye Zhou, you have no heart! You only update when you feel like it?!]

[I don't care, I have to update tonight! If I don't, I'm staying in this live stream!]

……

The screen was filled with noise and threats, but not a single person actually left the live stream.

The number of online users not only did not drop, but actually rose slightly again because of this wave of "torture the protagonist + writer's block" antics.

"There's no use rushing; the better the work, the more meticulous it needs to be."

"You feel frustrated right now..."

At this point, Ye Zhou paused, then said in a low voice, "That's because you haven't seen true heartbreak yet!"

Although the online novels in this world are equally prosperous, and have produced many masterpieces that are in no way inferior to those in the previous world, the overall style is still mainly based on themes of excitement, sweetness, reversal of fortune, and face-slapping.

Readers have long been spoiled, used to the protagonist sweeping all before him, killing everyone in his way.

Even if you fall into a trough at the beginning, you can slowly rise again.

Who can accept that a protagonist is so humble as to be ignored and ridiculed, without even a glimmer of glory?

Who can accept a story filled with regrets, missed opportunities, losses, and unfulfilled desires?

However, what truly gets etched into our bones and is remembered for a lifetime is never a smooth-sailing, satisfying story.

It's not just a feeling of lingering regret that's hard to forget!
