Chapter 450: Chapter 450: 428: King of Short Fairy Tales _1

“The literary competition in the fairy tale world concludes, Chu Kuang wins nine in a row!”

“Chu Kuang’s new book ‘Fairytale Town’ beats nine renowned writers!”

“Chu Kuang’s new work ‘Fairytale Town’ welcomed by readers.”

“One of the best short fairy tale collections in history is born.”

“A classic fairy tale book that you can’t miss — ‘Fairytale Town’!”

“A dreamland woven by Chu Kuang for children, the best of their childhood.”

“…”

It’s February now.

Various media outlets reported on ‘Fairytale Town’ in unison.

Chu Kuang’s literary duel also became widely known through media reports.

Two days later.

The Literature and Art Association announced two significant news.

The first piece of news:

“The Blue Star Fairy Tale Collection, compiled by a team of academic experts, will include representative short fairy tales from nearly thirty renowned authors, including Turtle Master, Teacher Qiqi, and Lan Meng. The official release of the book will be in March.”

The second piece of news:

“The Literature and Art Association will no longer consider incorporating Chu Kuang’s works into the Blue Star Fairy Tale Collection. Chu Kuang’s fairy tale work ‘Fairytale Town’ will be independently promoted as an officially recognized extracurricular book by the Literature and Art Association, and it will be promoted as a must-read in children’s literature.”

These two pieces of news are not surprising.

Teacher Yuan Yuan has leaked it a few days ago.

The Literature and Art Association decided to promote both ‘Fairytale Town’ and the official compilation of fairy tales simultaneously.

This not only guarantees the promotion of Chu Kuang’s work but also does not affect the inclusion of other fairy tale authors’ works. It can be considered a win-win solution.

It’s just that the children will have more extracurricular books to read now.

But when the news was confirmed, the industry still felt some emotion, even if they were somewhat prepared in advance.

Before this storm began in the fairy tale circle, the renowned authors were all striving to get a spot in the ‘Blue Star Fairy Tale Collection’. Now, Chu Kuang’s personal fairy tale collection has indirectly become another official selection of the Blue Star Fairy Tale Collection!

This means that the importance of ‘Fairytale Town’ and ‘Blue Star Fairy Tale Collection’ will be the same in the future.

The difference lies in that the works in the ‘Blue Star Fairy Tale Collection’ are selected from different renowned authors.

And ‘Fairytale Town’ consists entirely of short fairy tales written by Chu Kuang himself.

Just think about it.

If the officials did not make this decision, wouldn’t ‘Blue Star Fairy Tale Collection’ have to prepare ten slots specifically for Chu Kuang?

This result…

Is even more exaggerated than all Chu Kuang’s works being selected for the ‘Blue Star Fairy Tale Collection’. Chu Kuang has effectively forced the Literature and Art Association to change the rules!

It’s often said that this is a chance for fairy tale authors to influence a generation.

But others struggle to grasp this opportunity, and among fairy tale authors, less than thirty of them have this chance. But Chu Kuang alone has achieved it ten times!

On Earth.

The ancient talent Xie Lingyun once made a bragging statement: “The world’s literary talents share one stone, and Cao Zijian monopolizes eight pecks. The rest of the world shares one peck, and I also get one peck.”

Obviously, Xie Lingyun was bragging and later he was brought down by his own arrogance.

But Chu Kuang is really tasting this flavor now.

With ‘Fairytale Town’, the Literature and Art Association will promote a total of forty extracurricular short fairy tales, ten of which are monopolized by him alone.

This is an indisputable fact!

Additionally, while the Literature and Art Association announced that ‘Fairytale Town’ would be promoted as an extracurricular book, they also evaluated Chu Kuang’s short fairy tales in a magazine under their organization. The author was a senior editor.

The article was titled ‘King of Short Fairy Tales’.

“He is a fantasy novelist, a detective writer, a short story writer, but before this, no one expected him to write ‘Fairytale Town’, which is adored by countless children.

The beauty of Snow White, the kindness of Cinderella, the vanity of the King, all have left a deep impression on us.

The Frog Prince teaches children not to judge a book by its cover; The Story of the Fisherman and the Goldfish teaches us the consequences of greed; The Ugly Duckling tells us the importance of self-confidence; The Little Mermaid shows us the greatness of love’s sacrifices; The Little Match Girl teaches us to cherish the people around us.

This is a fairy tale for children, but I hope adults can also read it.

Between the lines of Chu Kuang’s works, you can feel his humanistic care for children and his patient and tactful teachings.

A beautiful red apple might be poisonous; the stranger knocking on the door might be a big gray wolf; Sleeping Beauty’s curse will be broken by justice; The emperor’s new clothes do not exist at all.

It might seem a bit childish.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But this childlike innocence is the necessary path of growth that we all need to go through. It is the warmest memory in the beautiful childhood of generation after generation. I also believe that after growing up, when children recall ‘Fairytale Town’, they will definitely remember Chu Kuang, the weaver of dreams.

He will be the King of Short Fairy Tales of this generation.

The King of Short Fairy Tales might not have a medal, but he is the uncrowned king in the hearts of children. He is the real king in the fairy tale world. The fairy tales of Blue Star will be more vibrant because of him, and we have enough reason to look forward to his future fairy tale works, and I believe these works will make his crown as the King of Short Fairy Tales even more radiant!”

The King of Short Fairy Tales!

Without mentioning Chu Kuang’s legendary experience of defeating nine competitors, with just one ‘Fairytale Town’ and ten seemingly simple fairy tales, Chu Kuang received this level of recognition.

However, no one in the industry disputed this.

If Chu Kuang was said to be the Fairy Tale King, long fairy tale authors would immediately vote in opposition, because in terms of the influence of fairy tales, long fairy tales even have a longer-lasting influence than short fairy tales!

Why should the Literature and Art Association only promote short fairy tales and not long fairy tales?

But if Chu Kuang is said to be the King of Short Fairy Tales, long fairy tale authors would not oppose this and might even be eager to try:

Having a King of Short Fairy Tales is quite nice!

If you grandiosely crown a King of Fairy Tales for short fairy tales, shouldn’t we who write long fairy tales also be crowned a king?

This is the current mindset of the long fairy tale authors.

At this time, even if some short fairy tale authors were somewhat unconvinced, feeling that Chu Kuang’s fairy tale works were still too few and that his seniority within the fairy tale circle was too shallow, they had nothing to say.

What could they say?

The nine famous authors are still “kneeling” outside the door.

Thus, Chu Kuang’s title of “King of Short Fairy Tales” has been well-established.

In Chu Kuang’s followers’ comment section.

Followers congratulated Chu Kuang on becoming the “King of Short Fairy Tales”. Although there are no medals, a magazine under the Literature and Art Association has claimed it, and it is generally accepted by the cultural circle.

“I just don’t know if the remaining three regions, including our Zhong Continent, will recognize it…”

Someone started laughing with a mocking face.

The unification of Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Zhong Continent is still in progress.

The unification is currently up to Qin, Qi, Chu, and Yan.

At least within these four regions, Chu Kuang’s title of “King of Short Fairy Tales” is recognized by the industry.

A fan replied: “If the rest of the regions don’t acknowledge it? Then they can only challenge Chu Kuang in a literary duel. I strongly suggest that they team up ten to one.”

As soon as these words came out, people started laughing.

Chu Kuang now has the legend of defeating nine at once on his side!

In the remaining four regions, is there really any fairy tale author who dares to challenge Chu Kuang?

There isn’t any.
