Chapter 98: Chapter 51: Mechanical Man

"This... a lot of people seem to admire her..." Su Jiameng reined in the roaring emperor raging inside her and tried to maintain a calm, innocent look. "She’s so talented in both songwriting and novel writing..."

K3 laughed and said, "This Princess Fusu is indeed quite talented and has profound knowledge about Earth’s ancient culture, but many people tend to believe that she is not a single person, but a promotional group under the pseudonym ’Princess Fusu’."

Su Jiameng was taken aback, not expecting such an answer from him. K3 explained with a smile, "An individual’s ability is limited, no matter how talented they are. Setting aside these songs, the writing style of her novels alone is very problematic. A person can easily change their writing themes, but it’s hard to entirely change their writing style. Even if they can avoid it, there will be traces..."

However, this Princess Fusu is ever-changing, with numerous novels published, none of which have a consistent writing style.

Anyone who isn’t blind can see that it’s a team of several people writing, and the quality is inconsistent. The reason it caused such a stir is just because the themes are novel, giving people a refreshing feeling. Once the novelty wears off, they’ll become worthless.

For example, the serialized novel he’s been following recently, ’Avengers: Harry Potter,’ with its sophisticated writing style, couldn’t be written without considerable experience and life experiences, completely different from ’Palace,’ ’Scarlet Heart,’ or ’Empresses in the Palace.’ Even within the palace intrigue trilogy ’Palace,’ ’Scarlet Heart,’ ’Empresses in the Palace,’ the levels are inconsistent...

Many readers have pointed this out, and then countless internet trolls start insulting people for a myriad of reasons, so numerous it makes your head spin. In short, K3 only appreciates certain works, but truly has little fondness for ’Princess Fusu’ herself, and even feels some aversion. A few years ago, Princess Fusu was writing novels, but recently she has switched to writing songs.

Regardless of whether those internet trolls were hired by her or are just irrational fans, swearing or insulting people on their own is a sign of low quality. Apart from writing style and skill level, another fatal flaw is the speed of her writing, which is suspiciously fast. In short, don’t be fooled by the high praise of ’Princess Fusu’ online, as there is too much false hype.

K3 and his friends are just watching for entertainment, carrying on with their lives as usual. And her novels, though appearing to have many readers, are actually quite niche. Except for ’Coiled Dragon’ and ’Legend of Immortal,’ which attracted many enthusiastic young readers with their fresh themes, most of the palace and domestic strife stories are full of plot holes that don’t stand up to scrutiny, and the values depicted can be quite troubling! The book review section never has a quiet day.

When Princess Fusu first published novels, she indeed attracted many readers who liked the classic and new. But as time passed, the truth became apparent. These novels are good for killing time but absolutely can’t be taken seriously! Moreover, they shouldn’t be indulged in!

At least after K3 read her palace intrigue novels, he became completely uninterested in her stories about struggles between women. In the novels, women are always engaging in all sorts of schemes and ruthlessness over a man. Harming unborn children, strangling newborns, disfiguring and slandering, climbing walls and being unfaithful, shameful tactics aplenty, with plots so chilling they made his skin crawl!

He just couldn’t understand, is imperial life so stifling that it becomes this exaggerated and disgusting? It seems like every woman has no other thoughts in life than vying for a man and sabotaging other women. Whether true or false, K3 couldn’t stand this kind of vibe.

An entire collection of perversions! Whether male, female, or otherwise, not a single normal person.

Especially her novels about feuds among wealthy families—a world K3, being part of a ’wealthy family,’ completely couldn’t comprehend. The beautiful and rich women all seem brainless, lowering their IQ to an alarming level over a man, while the rich, handsome men all fancy the poor and lowly, because they are innocent, kind, and brave, even if their actions are rough, possessing a unique charm.

Okay, ever since his grandfather found out he was reading Princess Fusu’s novels, he’s been looking at him in a peculiar way for quite a while. He even indirectly mentioned at a family gathering that he wouldn’t accept a woman with an unknown background as a granddaughter-in-law.

Heaven knows K3 already has a childhood sweetheart he likes! He’s currently in a tough pursuit! Sister-brother romance is not something he can handle!

His following the serial ’Avengers: Harry Potter’ now is purely by chance. Had he known from the start that the author was Princess Fusu, he would have avoided it, no matter how blossoming the book was written!
