Part1: Why I want to write this article
A while back, the web novel veteran, Wandering Toad, when answering questions on Zhihu, casually mentioned me, giving me a little recognition.
Someone tagged me to take a look, so I cheerfully read that article.
The unpleasantness was in the comments section.
I saw a person I didn't know at all comment, saying: "I suspect that the book 'Red Heart' was faking its ranking."
In fact, this person doesn't know me at all, hasn't read 'Red Heart Tours the Heavens,' and hasn't even opened the fan rankings for Red Heart.
This is how he responded to my questioning. He said: "I haven't read your book, I don't have time to flip through it. But on some website, many people say so."
Many people say so, so he takes it as fact, ready to bring it up anytime, anywhere.
I was really angry at the time.
But afterward, I thought about it. Why do "many people say so?"
Who is spreading such rumors?
And who is passing on these rumors?
