Feeding Shit

At the same time, Kang Ming wasn't the only reader whose defenses were broken by the manga's unfolding plot.

The number of readers as excited as Kang Ming was not small.

In fact, there were plenty of readers who were even more excited than him.

After all, Kang Ming had Tang Yao, his nominal editor-in-chief, to inform him of the inside story and tell him whatever she pleased, but other readers didn't have that.

And Su Deqiang was one of them...

He had just graduated from high school this year and was about to enter university.

During the summer vacation after the college entrance exams, when he didn't have to face test papers day after day and didn't have to worry about his uncertain future.

His mood had been wonderful. You could say these were the most carefree days of his life.

And when Thursday arrived, it was doubly joyous.

Because his favorite manga, Girl, Boy, and Sword, had its latest serialization released on this very day.

Yes.

He really liked this manga. Because Girl, Boy, and Sword had accompanied him through the most difficult period of his third year of high school. Although he didn't have much time to read it, only once every two weeks, and had to sneak it in.

But the passionate plot development and the sexy heroine had comforted his soul during that time... People tend to remember the artistic works they consumed during difficult times, often with a filter.

So, even though it was vacation, Su Deqiang got up early and went to the station with his friends to buy the latest issue of Big Comic.

Yes.

His friends also really liked this manga. After all, who hasn't had a period of strong hormones, and the female characters drawn by the Give It Your All teacher were indeed quite sexy...

In short.

The group went to a nearby station early in the morning and bought the magazine. During that time, they even met a super beautiful girl in professional attire at the station... She should be a beautiful girl, because she was really young.

At that moment, with some unspeakable youthful thoughts, they saw the girl holding the latest issue of Big Comic and deliberately discussed the manga's plot, trying to get her attention...

Unfortunately, they didn't succeed. For some reason, the girl sighed and walked away.

"So what's the point of discussing a male-oriented manga in front of a girl like that."

Su Deqiang recalled his and his friends' somewhat idiotic actions, his face flushed. He then forcefully shook his head, shaking off extraneous thoughts, and returned to his room with Big Comic.

In the end, it was just a chance encounter.

No matter how beautiful she was, it was useless.

Let's just read the manga.

Actually, the reason he rushed to buy the magazine so early wasn't just the filter from secretly reading manga magazines while Girl, Boy, and Sword accompanied him through his entire third year of high school.

It was also because... the third major arc of Girl, Boy, and Sword, after accompanying him through his entire third year of high school, was finally going to reach its conclusion.

The protagonist and his companions had rushed to the depths of hell and met the final boss—the Demon King who ruled hell.

In the previous chapter, released two weeks ago, the final boss's appearance was revealed: a little loli.

As soon as he finished reading, Su Deqiang eagerly anticipated the next development. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to buy the magazine so early. After all, the magazines were always available.

"Little loli, hehehehe."

Su Deqiang looked at the latest issue of Big Comic in his hand and slowly opened it with some excitement.

But he didn't immediately read Girl, Boy, and Sword. Instead, he first read other serialized stories in the magazine that he was also interested in, because he was the type to save the best for last.

About half an hour later.

He finally finished reading the last manga he was interested in. He happily smiled as he flipped back to the table of contents: "Here it comes!"

Su Deqiang excitedly turned to the page where Girl, Boy, and Sword was located and began to enjoy his final feast with excitement.

The plot continued directly from the previous issue.

The protagonist and his companions met the BOSS in its loli form.

The plot began to unfold in an orderly fashion.

Su Deqiang smiled as he watched the male protagonist speak gentle words and cautiously approach the final BOSS in its loli form. He turned to the next page.

Then.

His smile froze.

Because on the next page.

The final BOSS, which had remained motionless, slowly raised its head.

Immediately after.

Swish—

The male protagonist, with a look of shock... his head was gone.

Instantly decapitated.

Following that.

Invisible threads flew through the air.

Including his head, the male protagonist was directly cut into pieces.

On the impactful black and white page, the male protagonist was directly chopped into bits.

The fear and shock on the faces of the main characters seemed to pierce through the paper and reach Su Deqiang's central nervous system.

The expression on his face completely froze, and he turned the next page purely on muscle memory.

The main characters scattered and fled using the teleportation tool mentioned earlier.

As it happened, the female protagonist landed in the same spot as the second male lead. Neither was prepared for the male protagonist's death, and descriptions of shock and fear occupied two full pages.

But Su Deqiang had no mood to read any of that; what he wanted to see now was... if that was just a hallucination.

In any case, the mood he had at the beginning for a grand meal was completely gone. It felt more like he had eaten excrement instead.

He sped up his page-turning.

But the plot that followed... was even more outrageous. The second male lead used his investigation Skills to repeatedly inform the readers that the male protagonist was truly dead.

The female protagonist collapsed.

[Even if he died, he would want us to get out of here. Let's leave first.]

The second male lead uttered these lines and then took the female protagonist's hand.

The female protagonist, losing her sense of security, grasped the second male lead's hand in return. Their fingers intertwined, and they began to search for their other companions, retreating for the time being...

Then.

The manga ended here.

The manga thoughtfully placed a panel of the two, fingers intertwined, searching for a way out, as the last one.

And seeing this scene.

Su Deqiang froze completely.

The color of his face slowly turned red, then white, and finally ashen.

The most carefree days, reading his favorite manga, it was simply double happiness...

Not long ago.

He had thought so.

But at this moment, looking at the declaration of searching for a way out at the end, looking at the scene of their intertwined fingers, he felt like a clown!

Then.

A fierce anger, as if about to erupt, surged up.

"What the hell did you draw!!!!"

Su Deqiang violently threw the magazine in his hand, furious.

Although he hadn't exerted himself, he was panting from anger.

Because he had never expected that the conclusion he had waited so long for would turn out like this!

The protagonist died for no reason!

And then they deliberately depicted ambiguous scenes between the second male lead and the female protagonist!

What was the meaning of this!?

Are you sick?

The atmosphere in the previous chapter was built up so well, the male and female protagonists expressing their support for each other, the impending storm felt almost tangible, and then I waited two weeks, and this is what you show me?

Moreover, the second male lead's long-standing affection for the female protagonist was also depicted earlier.

What does it mean that he's not pretending anymore? Are they changing protagonists???

Are you kidding me!?

Then what was the point of us buying the magazines before?

The more Su Deqiang thought about it, the more his expression contorted. After all, Teacher Ou didn't draw comedic manga, but serious drama. And readers who had been following for a long time would develop a strong sense of identification with the male protagonist.

Moreover, the male protagonist's performance earlier in the manga had a bit of a "wish-fulfillment" feel to it.

But under the impact of this chapter, the psychological advantage of identifying with the male protagonist instantly turned into a disadvantage... And what broke him even more was the intertwined fingers at the end.

Never mind whether the female protagonist collapsed or not, or whether there would be a reversal later, this was enough to make readers feel anxious about their relationship being encroached upon.

It felt like being cuckolded.

This was too awful.

It was truly awful.

"Damn it!"

The more Su Deqiang thought about it, the angrier he became. He cursed fiercely again, trembling with rage.

He shakily took out his phone, opened the recently popular mobile social media app, found the user nicknamed 'Give It Your All', who seemed to be the male protagonist, and clicked on it.

[Next Monday, Wenxin Hall's first 'Wenxin Manga Award' will open. If you are interested, you can go and take a look. Website: --]

The latest blog post was an advertisement for the Wenxin Manga Award.

Tang Yao hadn't contacted Ou Congquan, but Editor Ding had.

As for Teacher Ou, he had given the editor-in-chief some face.

However.

This advertisement clearly hadn't served any promotional purpose; instead, it had made the readers even angrier.

"The plot you drew this week is like shit, and you have the nerve to advertise? A manga award! You drew that dogshit plot! And you still have the nerve to promote a manga award?"

Su Deqiang thought exactly that. He immediately clicked into the comment section and started typing furiously.

He wrote the harshest things he could think of.

After cursing for over a dozen comments, he finally calmed down a bit. Then, he noticed that many people shared his sentiment.

The blog post, which usually received only a few hundred replies, now had over five thousand.

"What the hell did you draw!? The male lead is dead!?"

"Fuck fuck fuck!!! I can't accept this! Change it!!"

"Old thief! Are you sick? Do you even know what you're drawing?"

"Teacher! I can't understand why you'd draw this plot! Why did the male lead suddenly die!? Why did you make the female lead ambiguous with the second male lead! Give me an answer immediately! I don't want to wait two weeks!"

"You're promoting a manga award like this! Go die! And this so-called manga award! Your own flagship work is drawn this terribly. How dare you even hold a manga award!?

"Change it! Change it for me! Otherwise, forget the manga award! Go eat shit!"

"Idiot! Go die!"

"..."

So many readers were breaking down.

Seeing this, Su Deqiang didn't feel any better. If it were a manga he'd heard of but hadn't followed, he'd just watch the drama.

But this was a manga he'd been following for three years!

What kind of garbage was this?

The more Su Deqiang thought about it, the angrier and more agitated he became. Looking at the advertisement for the manga award, disgust welled up within him.

What a joke!

You think you're worthy of promoting this?

And the organizers of this damn manga award, their flagship manga has such a plot, and they still dare to hold a manga award? Are all the works in it filled with bullsh*t plots too!!

Su Deqiang started to lash out.

Calmly assess it? Calm down, my ass!

Su Deqiang scrolled through the comment section again and noticed that Ou Congquan hadn't shown up. He irritably threw his phone down, then picked up the magazine that had fallen to the floor again. He reread the last scene and felt even more broken.

However, it was at this moment that he saw the promotional slogan he had missed earlier due to the manga's "explosive development."

"What does this mean..."

Su Deqiang looked at the words on the last page and was slightly stunned. Then, a sliver of pathetic hope rose in his heart. Clinging to a slim chance, he muttered:

"...Is there a twist? Does it mean there's going to be a twist?"
