Numbers did not lie. The subscription count of "God Level Leader" by "I Love to Eat Pumpkin Pie" had not yet crumbled due to the death of "An Youyou." On the contrary, the novel actually gained more readers!
The reason wasn't so clear-cut. Some nosy folk had "promoted" this novel elsewhere. Or, in plain terms, they were out to blacken the name of such hollow literature. They went on board book-reading forums for the opposite purpose, to vilify this novel ---- ----
"I was reading this hollow novel. It was okay… up till now. The author actually followed the footsteps of those hipster writers and stirred up an unnecessary fuss. He directly killed his female character! He's simply paving his own way to hell!"
"Has anyone read the book "God Level Leader"? Miss Ah Youyou is just another archetypical female character in it, and he killed her. How terrible!"
