Meanwhile,

The readers’ community has also become lively.

“Old rascal Chu Kuang is returning to the fantasy genre?”

“Finally, you’re back, good thing I didn’t give up!”

“After finishing writing ‘Ghost Blows Out the Light,’ the old rascal hasn’t written any fantasy novel. I thought he was no longer going to write any more fantasy novels.”

“Good, my youth is back!”

“I’m not interested in the old rascal’s detective stories, not because they are poorly written, but simply because I’m not into detective genre. I still like his fantasy novels.”

“Is old rascal’s comeback aiming for the top?”

“If he succeeds, he will become the GOAT with the least number of works in history!”

Chu Kuang has actually written a lot of works.

But the evaluation criteria for GOAT and great authors are based on fantasy novels.

The performance of detective novels is not counted.

So to sum it up, Chu Kuang only has three fantasy novels at present.

The first one is ‘King of the Net’.

The second one is ‘Zhu Xian’.

The third one is ‘Ghost Blows Out the Light’.

This is why Jin Mu tactfully said: Lin Yuan just barely meets the criteria for the evaluation of the GOAT. To successfully challenge, he would need one or two more works.

His number of works is still too low.

Fortunately, while he lacks in quantity, he makes it up in quality.

The sales and influence of these three fantasy novels by Chu Kuang are all there and cannot be dismissed lightly.

For the time being,

Both inside and outside the industry, everyone is discussing Chu Kuang’s return to the fantasy genre.

Many people were taken aback when they suddenly heard the news of Chu Kuang’s return to the fantasy genre.

But as everyone calmed down, many people realized that Chu Kuang’s attempt to strive for the GOAT is not as simple as many people imagine.

An editor reasoned analytically:

“Perhaps Chu Kuang has been too successful since his debut, and the countless halo effects make everyone subconsciously think that if Chu Kuang wants to strive for the GOAT, he will definitely succeed. Even I subconsciously thought so when I first heard this news. It seemed as if the GOAT had already become something in the bag for Chu Kuang. řаɴꝋβƐṨ

But everyone overlooked a fact!”

This fact is:

Chu Kuang’s fantasy novels are still too few in number. Although he can supplement the quantity with quality, there is still a significant gap from the standard of the GOAT. He is just stepping over the threshold now.

Many people may not understand what I mean.

Isn’t Chu Kuang so powerful that he doesn’t deserve to be the GOAT?

Worthy, of course, Chu Kuang does have the strength of a GOAT.

But at the same time, everyone needs to understand one thing, having the ability and actually achieving it are two different things. Here, I can use Chu Kuang’s good buddy Xian Yu as an example.

As we all know, Xian Yu is known as Maestro Junior.

Everyone has no doubt that Xian Yu has the strength of a Maestro!

But because Xian Yu is too young and doesn’t have enough number of works, he has never received the official recognition of the Maestro honor from the Literature and Art Association. After all, he has not yet met some of the hard criteria of Maestro.

The same goes for Chu Kuang.

All Chu Kuang now has is the strength to strive for the GOAT, just like the current Xian Yu is qualified to strive for the Maestro, but they are facing the same problem:

They haven’t met the standard criteria.

Both are equally excellent in their respective fields. Compared to Xian Yu, Chu Kuang is obviously much closer to the rigid criteria of a GOAT. After all, Xian Yu faces competition from the entire music world, whereas Chu Kuang’s competition this time is not from the entire novel industry but only limited within the fantasy genre.

Still, Chu Kuang needs more than just one work.

So in conclusion, to become the GOAT, Chu Kuang need at least two works at the level of ‘Ghost Blows Out the Light’!

Even with one, it’s not enough.

Unless Chu Kuang’s new book is equivalent to two ‘Ghost Blows Out the Light’ series!

But we all know that this is impossible. With regards to fantasy novels, ‘Ghost Blows Out the Light’ represents a peak.

Not to mention Chu Kuang’s new book being equivalent to two ‘Ghost Blows Out the Light’ series, even surpassing ‘Ghost Blows Out the Light’ is not an easy task.

Therefore.

I think everyone is overthinking.

Chu Kuang’s new book titled “Journey to the West” isn’t actually meant to compete for the position of the Supreme God. Instead, it’s preparing the way for his subsequent works to challenge for that title.”

This analysis made many people understand.

Indeed.

Chu Kuang is indeed a strong contender for the title of Supreme God.

But because he hasn’t written fantasy novels for the past two years, the number of his works is a disadvantage.

Becoming a GOAT with only three works is already quite terrifying.

Trying to reach the status of Supreme God with a fourth work?

That’s too much of a stretch.

There isn’t a single Supreme God in the industry who only has four fantasy novels to their name.

Chu Kuang will probably have to wait until his next-next fantasy novel is published before he can successfully challenge for the title.

Regarding this.

Someone gave an apt analogy:

“If this were a long-distance race, Night South Wind would have already covered 95% of the distance, Devil Child would have covered 93%, and Chu Kuang has only covered 80%!”

It’s like the ‘Tortoise and the Hare’.

In the end, the tortoise was the champion.

Why wasn’t it the faster rabbit?

Because the rabbit took a nap halfway.

Chu Kuang is that napping rabbit.

For about two years, Chu Kuang has been immersed in the field of deductive reasoning and hasn’t written any fantasy novels.

But Devil Child and Night South Wind have kept writing, with consistently excellent results.

Catching up with Chu Kuang’s progress all at once isn’t easy, even if he’s a rabbit that’s much faster than a tortoise.

Moreover, Night South Wind and Devil Child are stronger than a tortoise—

Even if compared to Chu Kuang, both of them can definitely be considered top-tier fantasy authors.

Suddenly.

A clear understanding of the situation emerged within the circle.

The editor at Night South Wind’s publishing house couldn’t help feeling relieved: “It gave me a scare. I thought Night South Wind was done for this year as soon as I heard that Chu Kuang was making a comeback.”

The same sense of relief was shared at Devil Child’s publishing house.

There’s no helping it.

Chu Kuang’s influence in the fantasy realm is ferocious!

So ferocious that many people get cold feet just at the mention of Chu Kuang’s name.

Fortunately!

Chu Kuang is still a long way off the standards for the Supreme God.

One work isn’t enough!

At least two works!

Unless Chu Kuang’s new book entitled “Journey to the West” can count as two!

But everyone in the industry is fully aware of the difficulty in that.

Because “Ghost Blows Out the Light” was too hot when it was first published!

It was hard for Chu Kuang to even surpass it, let alone write a work that’s twice as popular as “Ghost Blows Out the Light”!

For a time.

This kind of analytical voice spread widely, and even some of the media in the literary circle published similar reports.

“Chu Kuang Challenges for the Supreme God? Not so easy.”

“Detailed Analysis of Chu Kuang’s Odds of Becoming the Supreme God: Night South Wind and Devil Child Have Higher Hopes.”

“Chu Kuang Challenges the Supreme God; One Work is Not Enough.”

“Discussing the Difficulty of Chu Kuang’s Challenge for the Supreme God: Nightmare Level!”

“Chu Kuang Returns to the Fantasy Realm, Possibly Preparing to Challenge for the Supreme God, but the Industry is Not Optimistic.”

“A Certain Book Industry Expert Asserts: Chu Kuang’s Challenge for the Supreme God This Year is Destined to Fail.”

————————

ps: This part is quite relevant. Chu Kuang begins his challenge for the Supreme God title, and Polluted White is also currently challenging for the status of Chief Deity in the online literature community. “Journey to the West” is the crutch Chu Kuang relies on to become the Supreme God. I wonder if the full-time artist can make Polluted White become a GOAT?
