[

The man in the trench coat picked up his camera and walked to a phone booth on the corner. The moment the line connected with a single beep, his voice became refined and composed.

"Good afternoon, ma'am. This is private detective Yunze. I've completed the investigation you commissioned an hour ago. Your husband likes archery? Yes, I noticed the calluses on his hands."

With his free hand, Yunze flipped through the camera's photos until one showed the wealthy man idly playing with a curved bow displayed in the hotel. He clicked through several more pictures.

"He's having an affair. There's no doubt about it. You may take your husband's top hat as evidence.

A true gentleman knows that hats require proper maintenance. Does your husband style himself as a gentleman? Has he often gone out under the excuse of having his hat serviced? The edge of his top hat has bluish abrasion marks, which are traces of cleaning solution.

The problem is that the hat is made of crocodile leather. Acidic cleaners cannot be used on crocodile leather. If he truly loved hats, he would know such common knowledge.

Likewise, the shop clerk clearly didn't treat the hat properly. After applying cleaner, they should have used conditioning oil, specifically horse oil produced in the Fanfu-Li region. That's actually the most expensive part of the maintenance service. But they didn't do that, so where did the money go?

Moreover, why would a gentleman who cherishes his hats, having seen it maintained so badly, continue taking it to that same shop, insisting that the same clerk clean it every time?

There's only one explanation. The clerk is important to him. He wanted to give the clerk money without making it obvious; otherwise, he'd have to split his assets in a divorce, so he repeatedly paid for unnecessary hat maintenance.

Their relationship is clearly inappropriate. If you present this line of reasoning to the judge, he'll accept it as legitimately obtained evidence and award you with appropriate compensation."

Of course, Yunze couldn't actually use his secretly taken photographs as evidence, so he simply made the whole story up.

"I wish you success in receiving your settlement. And please remember to transfer my fee to the account written on the back of my business card. Thank you very much. If you need my services again in the future, you're always welcome..."

After finishing his fabricated deduction, Yunze heard the client reply through tears. She had completely believed him and was willing to pay. He let out a long sigh of relief.

After hanging up, he jotted down the transaction in his notebook while muttering: "Today's income: one hundred dollars..."

As he stepped out of the phone booth, the camera rose high above the city. Bustling streets stretched below, with office workers moving like tiny ants through the prosperous metropolis. The crimson sunset bathed the colorful neon billboards in blood-red light.

The shot froze on a giant screen atop a skyscraper, where a solemn news anchor was delivering the headlines.

"Since the revival of the Weird Tales, multiple arson incidents involving superpowered individuals have occurred around the world. According to civilian surveys, dissatisfaction toward ability users has risen to 67%..."

As Yunze walked past the building, he remembered that terrible day. The day the entire world trembled.

Sixty-six circular rings appeared over cities across the globe. Within each ring stood a figure from ancient mythology: the Celtic Deep-Sea Giants, Tyr from Norse mythology, Muadu from African mythology...

But these divine beings showed no mercy to humanity. Instead, they slaughtered humans while radiating an icy and terrifying aura.

People gave that catastrophe a name: the Revival of the Weird Tales.

At the same time, humanity itself underwent strange mutations. Yunze's lower body had uncontrollably transformed into a swamp, which swallowed half of an apartment building. Fortunately, no one died, but he was saddled with an enormous debt and had to repay it little by little.

"...It's not deduction at all... It's all superpowers." Muttering to himself, Yunze walked back to his rented apartment.

The moment he opened the door, dozens of steel robots turned their heads and stared directly at him.

"Sorry, wrong room." He shut the door, checked the apartment number, frowned, then opened it again. "I don't remember my lease saying that this place could be shared. Even if it is, there are way too many of you. I think this violates the contract..."

His gaze swept across the robots before stopping on a woman who was dressed quite differently from the rest.

"I am Zhenyue, chief researcher and actual head of Lighthouse Robotics. This is my partner, Jiayue."

Though seated on a battered sofa with peeling upholstery, Zhenyue carried herself as though she were dining in a luxury restaurant.

"I've come to recruit you." She handed him a contract. "Welcome to the Anti-Revival Project, a global initiative jointly participated in by nations around the world."

]

...

Beike was immediately captivated by the interaction between the two. Yunze and Zhenyue had vivid personalities, and the central plot was straightforward: defeat the Weird Tales and save the world.

"As expected of the Starship Belt's art, the details are incredibly realistic."

Beike paused the film and took a bite of a crispy, popping fruit while zooming in on one scene with great interest. This had become a habit ever since he started visiting internet cafés.

The games he played before all had ultra-high-definition graphics and spectacular effects, but once magnified enough, obvious pixel-like grain would appear, which was a trace left by the Starship Belt's Glimmer particles. Beike had a mild obsession with spotting those traces before stopping.

Yet even after zooming to the maximum level, no such particle artifacts appeared.

"Strange... Are Blue Planet's Glimmer particles really that good? Or are they simply better at visual effects?"

Unable to figure it out, Beike continued watching. The movie gradually became more lighthearted.

[

Yunze tried to convince Zhenyue that she'd recruited the wrong person. She wanted a genius detective, but Yunze couldn't deduce anything at all. However, once he heard that the Anti-Revival Project paid an excellent salary, he immediately changed sides and happily signed the contract.

Only after arriving at the supposedly prestigious Anti-Revival headquarters, backed by the World United Council, did he discover that there were only two official employees, Zhenyue and himself.

"That's right. So your first assignment is to use your intelligence to recruit our next colleague."

Yunze blinked. "...So I actually applied to be an HR?"

Then he asked: "What about those agents? Aren't they coworkers?"

Zhenyue shrugged. "They're from another department."

Yunze asked: "So what exactly is the Anti-Revival Project?"

Following the Night of the Weird Tale Revival, nations united to investigate its origins. The only breakthrough they achieved was that a radioactive black ore appeared near every summoning ring.

The World United Organization had since identified 144 locations where large quantities of black ore had emerged. Those places were believed to be the sites of the next Weird Tale Revival.

Countries established bases there, recruited ability users, and attempted to stop the catastrophe. Thus, the Anti-Revival Project was born.

The idea was noble, but reality failed at the first step. No superpowered individuals wanted to join except for Yunze, the impoverished genius.

Since he was already there, Yunze reluctantly accompanied Zhenyue around the world recruiting talent. They failed over and over again, yet Yunze's absurd antics made every attempt entertaining.

This time, their target was a high school girl who was surrounded by several delinquents. Yunze scared them off through trickery before extending his hand.

"Want to join the Anti-Revival Project? The base faces constant life-threatening danger and has basically no future. The snack benefits are excellent, though. Still, I don't recommend joining, because your job would be saving the world..."

The girl's eyes sparkled. "My name's Qiyang! I'm a witch!"

Then she agreed instantly. "My dream is to save the world!"

Yunze sighed helplessly. "I really don't understand what young people are thinking..."

At least their organization had finally grown from two people to three.

The trio worked together. Zhenyue spent money extravagantly. Qiyang enjoyed endless snacks and milk tea. Yunze diligently researched Weird Tale records every day.

Their next recruitment target was said to be a hereditary tomb keeper from an ancient Chinese lineage. His twin blades could cut through iron like mud, and whenever he drew them, blood would follow. His name was Lingyuan.

Coldly, he rejected the invitation. He refused to be constrained by government supervision. In fact, that was the same reason most ability users declined.

Suddenly, disaster struck. A Weird Tale ring opened ahead of schedule, and a towering divine apparition descended from the sky while civilians fled in panic. The four could only cooperate temporarily.

Zhenyue stood beside her enormous robot. The contrast in size was theatrical as countless laser beams danced across the battlefield. Qiyang's magic glowed brilliantly, with runic circles swirling around her in mysterious beauty. Lingyuan's swordsmanship was swift and powerful; he moved like a leopard as he effortlessly blocked every attack.

Yunze initially intended only to cheer everyone on from the sidelines. Then he noticed the Weird Tale constantly shouting: "Water!"

Searching through his database, he learned that the creature was burned to death while alive. Inspired, he connected a hose to a nearby fire hydrant and blasted it with water. The Weird Tale's power immediately weakened dramatically, and the others finished it off.

"It... actually worked..." Yunze muttered.

"You're all incredible! There's still hope for humanity!" A fearless passerby happened to record the entire battle and stream it online. It instantly went viral, and topics like Humanity's Light and Strongest Ability Users exploded across the internet.

The surrounding crowd showered the four with applause and flowers. Though embarrassed, they were also deeply moved. Even when Lingyuan insisted coldly that he wasn't with them, his neighbors refused to believe him.

]

...

"Hahaha! This is so good!" The more Beike watched, the more fascinated he became.

A high school girl. A scientist. A detective. An Eastern tomb keeper. What an incredible combination.

To Beike, all of these cultural elements were unfamiliar, making it easy to accept the setting naturally. It seemed as if the author had given every character an elaborate backstory, yet only revealed fragments of it.

Where could the complete stories be found? Beike's curiosity only grew stronger.

...

The film continued.

[

The Anti-Revival Project remained desperately understaffed, but the four finally received their first official mission, which was to eliminate some minor enemies.

Then, the World United Organization stepped in.

Believing that the Anti-Revival Project lacked manpower, they ordered the team to livestream their operations to inspire other ability users to join.

The four reluctantly entered battle wearing streaming equipment, and the film perspective shifted to viewers' livestream chats. Comments scrolled by at just the right speed, filled with laughter and jokes that clashed absurdly with the intense combat.

"Where's this battlefield? I want to check it out!"

"Hey everyone! Let me commentate! You can see this ability user's shirt says WDEY. Original price 199, now only 99! Order through the livestream link for a discount!"

"I made a special effect filter! Use it on TikTik* and it'll look like you're right on the battlefield! Come join the challenge!"

Some civilians even showed up at the battle site, interfering with the team's mission.

While the protagonists fought desperately for their lives, the internet had turned the entire event into entertainment. Even the audience watching the movie couldn't help sympathizing. The satire was painfully sharp.

Seeing no results, the World United Organization concluded that the Anti-Revival Project had no future. It was canceled, and they adopted a policy of: If your own country faces a crisis, solve it yourselves.

The headquarters, which was once constantly powered, finally went dark. The four companions, who were gathered from every corner of the world, prepared to go their separate ways.

They held a barbecue party inside the powerless base. Though they had often joked that the project would collapse, when the day truly arrived, none of them felt good about it.

"This is our last gathering..." Yunze sprinkled cumin over the meat. "...You'll still pay my bill, right?"

"Relax." Zhenyue rolled her eyes inelegantly.

Qiyang asked: "Why did you join the Anti-Revival Project?"

Zhenyue answered: "On the first night of the Weird Tale Revival, I met the Saintess from our mythology. She didn't attack me but saved me instead... I just want... to see her one more time."

"There are Weird Tales that don't attack humans...?" Yunze frowned. Something about this felt wrong.

After the project dissolved, he spent two dull days doing nothing before deciding to take his notebook and seek the truth.

"After all, I'm a detective, and a detective exists to uncover the truth!"

During his investigation, he unexpectedly met familiar faces. "Your barbecue was delicious," Lingyuan spoke quietly. "I'll help you once."

Yunze looked toward another companion. "What about you?"

Qiyang put away her wand and knocked out a guard with one punch. "I don't want to go to school. Actually, I used to be a delinquent, and my life was completely hopeless. If I can't save the world, how can I save myself?"

The three reunited and set off to uncover the truth. Through countless mishaps, each of their abilities evolved. After following the clues, they arrived at Zhenyue's robotics headquarters.

Her country's authorities demanded that she hand over the robots' core technology free of charge for military purposes. She refused, and the three friends risked their lives to rescue her. Deeply moved, Zhenyue finally revealed the truth.

"My robots are highly intelligent and environmentally friendly because their cores use this material... It appeared after the Weird Tale Revival, and the Saintess I met gave it to me." She removed the core from Jiayue.

Yunze immediately searched through his notes and shared his findings. "The hostile Weird Tales mainly appear in these locations... Black ore appears wherever they emerge. But white ore appears near the black ore. Could it be that while the Weird Tales revived... the true myths revived as well? They're simply missing some kind of medium..."

"I agree," Lingyuan spoke, unusually willing to offer his opinion. "In my homeland, we have the concept of balancing yin and yang. Everything has its opposite."

Qiyang smiled. "No wonder you're the smartest among us."

Yunze hesitated before finally confessing: "Actually... I'm not a detective. I solved all those previous cases using my powers."

Zhenyue didn't seem to care. "As long as you've solved even one case through deduction, that's enough to call yourself a detective."

A shrill alarm shattered the warm moment. The local authorities had discovered Zhenyue's escape, and countless agents were sent to capture her. The four fled desperately while unleashing their powers.

Then, the earth suddenly shook as the Night of the Weird Tale Revival returned. Yunze was accidentally captured and was dragged away toward prison.

But there was something far more important that he had to do. As agents hauled him along, he shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Let me go! I'm trying to save people! Don't you have parents? Friends? Relatives living far away? Pen pals? We need to know the truth! The public needs to know the truth! The Revival of the Weird Tales was very likely created by human hands!"

Yunze was almost thrown into the prison transport van, but at the last possible moment, Lingyuan arrived and rescued him. And behind Lingyuan, none of the pursuing agents got back up to continue the chase.

While fleeing for his life, Yunze confirmed his hypothesis that the Weird Tales and the Myths had revived simultaneously. But organizations and individuals around the world, motivated by their own interests, had taken away the mysterious minerals capable of reviving the true myths.

Zhenyue activated a worldwide broadcast, revealing the truth to the public, causing chaos to erupt across the globe.

Those organizations and individuals hurriedly returned the white ore to its proper places, allowing the Myths to awaken and battle the Weird Tales.

But even so, many Weird Tales continued ravaging humanity. The four companions unanimously decided to rely on human strength to destroy them.

"Then let us become myths ourselves!"

An eighteen-layer magic formation unfolded. Driven into a desperate corner, Qiyang finally grasped the true essence of magic and called down the heavenly judgment.

Lingyuan suddenly received a message from his ancestral clan. His power surged dramatically, and amid a rain of countless blades, he wielded his sword to block every incoming attack.

Zhenyue was moments away from being pierced by a Weird Tale's spear. Her robot, Jiayue, pushed its power output to the absolute limit to protect her until its systems shut down. From the robot's chest fell a single white stone.

The war raged on. Before long, Yunze's companions were exhausted. Yunze swallowed a piece of black ore, activated his swamp ability, and engulfed the feet of the giant Weird Tale that was massacring everything around it. Because he had recognized its true identity as Achilles, from Greek mythology.

Even as his strength failed him, Yunze still found time to complain. "So now, I'm both a superpowered person and a detective... working two jobs by myself..."

...

"Wake up!"

Yunze opened his eyes in a hospital room. The good news: he was alive. The bad news: his leg was broken, and he would need three months of bed rest.

"Congratulations on surviving." Lingyuan expressionlessly handed him a skewer of fried meat.

"Did you see how awesome my attack was?!" Qiyang beamed. "I knew I was a magical girl who brings hope!"

"I've decided to tell you something that'll make you happy." Zhenyue peeled an apple. "You've received an enormous reward. Money from governments around the world, donations from ordinary citizens... Even that real estate agent who cheated you before came crying and begged for your forgiveness."

Leaning against his hospital bed, Yunze smiled. "For me, the best news is... that we're all still alive. And we happened to save the world along the way."

Zhenyue paused before quietly replying: "I'm glad you're okay."

After this crisis, the World Organization finally remembered the importance of unity. Although governments still argued endlessly at negotiating tables, at least they had become somewhat more reliable.

Many ability users chose to join the organization led by Zhenyue, even if it meant accepting government oversight. Meanwhile, ordinary people became deeply grateful toward ability users.

The World Organization established a new initiative devoted to preserving the positive power of myths in order to oppose the terrifying power of the Weird Tales.

Its name was...

Revival Project.

]

...

In Revival, the protagonists overcome external hardships, public doubt, and their own insecurities before finally reaching the happiest possible ending.

"...It's over." Reluctantly, Beike paused the movie.

He carefully reflected on what he had watched. At first, he thought he remembered nothing. Yet somehow, he could recall every detail: the satirical livestream scenes, the dazzling battle effects, and the bizarre mythology surrounding both Myths and Weird Tales.

He desperately wanted to talk about all of it.

"This kind of movie is perfect for viewers like me who don't want to think too hard."

Writing reviews was practically a universal instinct. Thus, he began typing:

"The action was satisfying from beginning to end! Zhenyue fights with giant machines and lasers, Qiyang uses colorful magic, and Lingyuan has that ancient cold-weapons style. Yunze just wins through completely unconventional methods, haha. It was incredibly entertaining, and time flew by before I noticed. The script was also excellent. From the Anti-Revival Project to the Revival Project, every character undergoes meaningful growth."

As Beike wrote, a question suddenly occurred to him. The movie felt so easy and relaxing. So why did it feel like there were so many things worth discussing?

He temporarily set down his review and started reading what other viewers had written. One review with countless replies caught his attention.

[

"The More Lighthearted the Surface, the Stronger the Literary Foundation: A Brief Review of Revival"

"I'll state my conclusion first: Revival is a work of art suitable for audiences of all ages. Whether you enjoy thinking deeply or not, you'll find something to love. Its lightheartedness exists only on the surface, because underneath lies remarkable depth. Blue Planet Yujin has once again demonstrated the richness of Blue Planet's literary tradition. Multiple literary styles are combined with perfectly chosen visual presentation, creating something greater than the sum of its parts.

I've never liked adaptations. Words possess limitless imagination, and turning them into visuals only limits that imagination. Moreover, adaptations in our interstellar era always add elements that don't fit the original setting. If you don't know the source material, that's fine. But if you know it even a little and notice the inconsistencies, it's unbearable. But Revival succeeds brilliantly. Its visual style is remarkably unified, perfectly recreating the appearance of cities during the age of isolated planets. Watching it feels like actually traveling there."

]

Beike nodded. "I really wasn't pulled out of the experience while watching."

But then he wondered: "Is literary merit only about things like that?"

Although he disliked thinking too much, Revival had awakened his curiosity. He browsed more reviews and searched outside websites, and he eventually found a discussion thread that had become popular across multiple forums.

"Twenty Easter Eggs in Revival You Probably Missed: Only Hardcore Fans Will Catch Them"

The original poster claimed to have compiled the list after watching Revival twenty times. Guaranteed genuine.

Beike wasn't a hardcore Blue Planet fan, but that didn't stop him from wanting to appear literary in front of others. So he clicked.

[

"As everyone knows, the protagonists of Revival are all based on characters from Blue Planet novels. They're not identical to their originals, but they're closely connected. Let's go through them one by one.

Yunze is based on The Swamp Detective by Yongye. Zhenyue and Jiayue's robotics company comes from Mechanical Frenzy by Jung. The witch Qiyang appears to be the orthodox Asuka-style magical girl from Mingxing's The Literary Master and the Magical Girl universe. The tomb keeper Lingyuan's family likely originates from Canghai's Ancient Tomb Code.

Those are the obvious references. Now let's discuss what only hardcore fans notice.

When Zhenyue searches Blue Planet's ability-user organizations, one school briefly appears: Genius Detective Academy. Zoom in on the emblem. That's right, it comes from Xunming's Superpower Detective Academy! Yunze even remarks that he graduated from there. Clearly there's a huge amount of unseen backstory. I can't wait to see more.

Funny coincidence: Yunze is connected to Genius Detective Academy. In real life, Yongye and Xunming are close friends. With so many novels available to reference, did Yujin choose this on purpose?"

]

Beike's eyes widened.

The characters had original counterparts?

His curiosity immediately flared, and he immediately wanted to read the stories behind Yunze's earlier detective cases.

Checking online, he discovered that The Swamp Detective had been archived on Blue Planet's internet. It was cheap, so Beike bought it without hesitation.

While waiting for the download, he kept reading the Easter egg thread. The comments were full of delighted readers.

"Yujin must be exhausted watching those two constantly mess around lol."

"Has everyone already accepted that Yujin is actually Wenhuo? That pen name was way too easy to guess."

"Haha yeah. Yujin is nowhere near as good at disguising identities as his coworkers. Remember the Blue Planet Fisherman Cup? We were completely fooled."

"Yujin really isn't good at hiding himself."

The stories behind Blue Planet's novelists seem fun too!

Beike wrote down several interesting names mentioned in the comments to search later.

The thread continued. "There are many more Easter eggs! The information packed into the visuals is incredible. I'll show just one screenshot: When Zhenyue explains the Weird Tale Revival, myths from many nations appear. What do you notice?"

Replies flooded in. "Lots of symbols?"

"Lots of concept art."

"A world map."

Beike zoomed in as well, searching for details he had missed. Watching movies this way was becoming a completely new kind of enjoyment. Finding each hidden detail felt like discovering buried treasure. Maybe thinking while watching wasn't so bad after all.

The poster replied: "Everyone's correct! The most terrifying thing is actually the world map! Every region corresponds to an ancient mythology. This one is the child-eating witch from Slavic mythology. In Revival, witches and magical girls are simply different branches of the same power system. This is the ever-growing Wendigo... This is the Thunderbird from Native American mythology..."

There were so many. Beike was stunned while readers exploded with comments.

"I want to see every single one! Release the visual designs already! Don't tease us like this!"

"I want to travel to Blue Planet. When are they opening immigration? I'm your long-lost child!"

"Am I the only one worried about what happens when all these myths become Weird Tales? How will the Revival Project handle that?"

"Maybe everyone can keep leveling up?"

"Yujin! Release Part Two immediately!"

The poster suddenly changed tone. "There's another terrifying Easter egg..."

"Look at this livestream. It has two billion viewers but the stream is region-locked. Unless every square inch of Zhih River District is occupied by a person, those numbers are impossible. So who are all the extra viewers?"

The comments instantly shifted. "This suddenly turned into a horror story..."

"I know the answer! Fake traffic purchased by advertisers."

The poster replied: "Actually, the answer is hidden in the same screenshot. Look at the upper-left corner of the livestream interface. There's a Wi-Fi icon that doesn't appear in any other livestream. Therefore... extraterrestrial life exists in the world of Revival. They've been observing Blue Planet all along."

Beike was dumbfounded. How could finding tiny details completely transform the movie into something entirely different?

"Wow! That's such incredible attention to detail!"

"What do they want? Now I'm getting scared too."

"Extraterrestrial civilizations may have secretly infiltrated Blue Planet society and even fought against the Weird Tales alongside humanity. Or maybe the sequel will become an alien civilization versus Weird Tales war. Only Yujin knows the truth. Let's thank him for revealing just the tip of this enormous universe."

"Every Easter egg leads to even more mysteries. I'm completely hooked."

"Searching for Easter eggs is so much fun!"

After explaining nineteen Easter eggs, the poster saved the final one for last. "Finally... Who is the Saintess who keeps appearing beside Zhenyue? Many readers assume she's an original character. But she isn't."

"After extensive research, I discovered that she isn't based on any Blue Planet novel. She's actually based on the Blue Planet novelist Fuling herself. The evidence? Chat logs from Blue Planet writers mention that Fuling sometimes goes to work carrying a bear and sometimes wears a flower wreath. That's exactly the Saintess's appearance!"

The moment this revelation appeared, the comments exploded. "AAAAAH! I'm taking 360-degree screenshots of the Saintess right now! No wonder I loved her so much, she's my goddess!"

"I can already imagine their script meeting. Yujin wanted to include a character from Fuling's novels, couldn't make it fit, so he just inserted Fuling herself instead."

"The character's inspiration being the novelist herself is the biggest Easter egg of all!"

Beike was excited too, as if he had discovered the secret personally. He currently felt that Revival was worth far more than its price. Other games were certainly entertaining while playing them, but none had offered such a rich experience.

Perhaps that was the difference between an ordinary work and a truly great one. A masterpiece could withstand endless analysis by its audience.

Beike threw himself into countless Easter egg threads, and some even contradicted each other. As he compared and analyzed them, his understanding of Revival changed again and again. His unfinished review grew longer and longer, far exceeding anything he had ever written before. The more emotionally invested he became, the more he loved the film.

"I've been online for six universal hours straight. It's probably time to rest..."

Beike decided to read just one final thread before going to sleep.

"What's this?" Curiously, he clicked on a post titled: "[The Revival Project] Top Secret Conversation"

He assumed it was simply another Easter egg discussion. Instead, it turned out to be... a Revival fanfiction.

The personalities of Revival's characters were vivid and memorable, while much of their personal histories remained unexplored, making them perfect for fan creations.

Fanfiction was only natural. Moreover, because Revival subtly referenced various Blue Planet novelists, their readers naturally projected those feelings onto the characters. Things people normally wouldn't dare to openly express could now be spoken through fictional characters.

Comments poured in: "I hereby declare that the upperclassman from Genius Detective Academy who only appeared for one second is PERFECT with Lingyuan! Because Xunming and Canghai are best friends!"

"HAHAHAHA! Did you forget that in Superpower Detective Academy, that upperclassman detective is already based on one of Yongye's detectives? By your logic, Yongye and Canghai are the perfect pairing instead."

"The downside of Qiongtian writing so few books is that nobody even remembers his name at moments like this..."

"Everyone! Quiet down and listen! Ahem. Yunze × Zhenyue is the greatest ship of all time! Thank you."

"Zhenyue only has eyes for the Saintess. Just look at the screenshots."

"Am I the only one who thinks that Qiyang and Lingyuan have an adorable chemistry? The two novelists may not know each other well, but they're both Blue Planet writers. Surely they'll become friends someday."

And finally: "Stop connecting the novelists with their fictional characters!"
