Adult game scripter and light novelist Jing Yuzhi said that before the network, people’s negative feelings about the work will mainly be distributed to the surrounding people. In extremely rare circumstances, someone will write to the publisher in anger. After all, people who write letters and roars are very few, and the authors basically won’t know and see their opinions

If you have information like “I was looking forward to seeing something like this,” writers will also be easy to reflect on themselves. But it is difficult for you to ask people who are burning in anger to write such specific opinions

It is difficult to convey your thoughts and feelings to people. To effectively express your dissatisfaction and anger, it is most difficult to add
