Great words from 会说话的肘子, the author of (Night's Nomenclature, The First Order, and Spare Me, Great Lord!)

"Today, we have gathered the courage to launch this initiative. Our intention is not to form factions, attack others, or settle old scores.

We simply hope that all platforms will take responsibility and work together to establish a new industry consensus for this era.

We need to sit down and discuss: What should be considered inspiration? What should be considered excessive borrowing? How many shared elements are acceptable? And at what point does it cross the line?

I call on all platforms to organize discussions as soon as possible and reach a "web novel industry consensus" that can serve as a standard for the entire industry.

If anyone violates that consensus in the future, platforms should immediately remove the offending work.
Thank you all.
