"We don't need to worry about this kind of thing at all, you can be more water than them. Guan Li flipped through the article on the screen, and the author's spurting emotions were almost undisguised in the end, bursting out from the blending of words, "But the trend of public opinion still has to be framed in his own hands as much as possible." ”

This person really likes science fiction, and likes it to the point where he sees any possible breakthrough and progress, and he can't wait to share this little joy with the world.

However, the following comments are not all understanding and approval of him.

Some people may not be able to understand where the author's excited emotions come from, what they see is just a usually reasonable UP master, blowing about something strange and not famous.

- One has to wonder if this is another marketing strategy.

Or to put it more bluntly: many people don't understand science fiction literature at all, don't understand its history, and don't understand its predicament, so naturally they can't empathize.

Guan Li refreshed the page, flipped to the comment area below, and unsurprisingly saw several new statements with different views.

There are fans who think that the author said that it must be good, and there are fans who think that it is impossible to be so awesome if it is blown too much.

It's more like a pastime, "Is it really that powerful?"

Who knows?

Seeing for yourself is the best way to know for sure, but very few people actually do it.

They are just using fragmented time to find pleasure in the undulating sea of information and fill their empty intellectual curiosity.

After reading the whole article, most of them only leave a ...... like "The history of science fiction literature is very turbulent, and it will be more than 20 years old, and a new work called the Foundation has finally been released

Vague impressions.

"Slightly more troublesome, the Foundation isn't science fiction in the orthodox sense. Guan Li clicked on a few more articles related to the content.

Some of them were written by latecomers, and the quality data is not as good as this one, but they are all extremely consistent in one aspect.

They all think of SCP Foundation as science fiction.

So back to that question: Is SCP Foundation science fiction?

Of course not.

Although there is a fairly rigorous scientific experiment process in it, there is a scientist-style cold archive genre, and there are a bunch of white technology, black technology, and fantasy technology that are very "science fiction" when you look at the name......

But it's not science fiction in the strict sense of the word.

Is it just a fantasy with modern scientific thinking and a scientific perspective to observe anomalous things?

Anyway, it's not "scientific" enough.

Foundation creators rarely call themselves "science fiction", as they started out with creepypasta on the forums.

Creepypasta is inherently incompatible with sci-fi.

- According to the origin of the word, the word can probably be understood as "a chilling urban legend thriller joke circulating on the Internet".

That's right, joke.

SCP-173 was originally nothing more than a thriller.

At most, it's a bit of a weird and bizarre Internet joke.

It was later that the growing group of authors, after several years of filling and reshaping, finally turned it into a world with a majestic epic.

According to this classification, "SCP Foundation" should be a supernatural work.

The system was still thinking about whether the evaluation of "water" was positive or derogatory, but when he heard this, he directly threw away the entanglement just now, and asked: "So we need to clarify, at the right time, right?"

Wouldn't that be a slap in the face for everyone now!

It's a little exciting to think about it......

"That's half right. Guan Li glanced at Ye Lingxing's message prompt, and closed the web pages that he opened later one by one, and then slowly clicked on the dialogue interface with Ye Lingxing, "The classification of fantasy literature has always been a subjective assumption, some people care to death, and more people are indifferent. ”

The definition of type is only a summary concept summarized by later generations for convenience. ”

It's just that this concept has spread widely and has become "recognized".

When Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, she wondered if it was science fiction or fantasy.

She might just think about where the story was so hard to write and stuck for hours......

System: "So?"

"So let them pass it on, science fiction is science fiction, we just need to be clear about our positioning, it's a big deal...... Take Cthulhu on top?"

You must know that the "SCP Foundation" in the previous life was also widely regarded as science fiction by the public, and when it was not popularized by people, he still had a blank face, "Huh?"

The Cthulhu Mythos system, whose origin is standard science fiction, is even worse, and has long been written as a classic fantasy element.

Wait until the Cthulhu of this world comes out...... Seriously, if anyone tells others that this thing full of evil gods and sacrifices is science fiction, does anyone really believe it?

It doesn't matter if others believe it or not, Guan Li believes it anyway.

- When the time comes, the official stance will be on the line, and he will not bother to care what the masses think.

In today's world where a single work is stuffed with countless composite elements, how is it possible to define an entire book in just one word?

The most important thing when reading is the content, the plot and ideas brought by the words.

Forget about hard and soft science, and to hell with the concepts of classification, labeling, and genres!

You don't even have to worry about whether it's a film or not, you just need to read and experience it slowly.

Let the article abandon all additional definitions and return to its most original form - narrative and communication.

“...... Oh. "The system just didn't know what to go on.

Everything that can be said has been said by Guan Li.

He is the one who says that he should go with the flow and leave it alone, and he is the one who says that he should continue to pay attention to it as a guide.

Can't you say a specific degree in the middle?

Alas, it hurts the brain.

"I see it, I'll pay attention to this, you don't have to worry about it. Guan Li was replying to Ye Lingxing, "The SCP Foundation will not be shaken in any way due to external factors, and the production of 3999 will continue as usual." ”

If he is interested, he can also intervene and try, and we will not restrict the spread of Foundation-related culture on the Internet. Only "bootstrap".

"There's nothing to worry about, the Foundation isn't science fiction in the first place, and we're invincible. And now the world of science fiction literature is ...... Someone dares to come forward at this time to criticize innovative works, is it intended to be sprayed out of the science fiction circle?"

Year after year of disappointment, the accumulation of unwillingness.

Obviously, it is such an era of change when cultural trends and subcultures are exploding one after another, but science fiction, which claims to be the pinnacle of fantasy literature, is like a pool of stagnant water.

Occasionally, there is a persistent struggle that spreads out ripples, and after all, it is no longer the endless depth that reflected the galaxy universe in the past.

"Now we just have to wait, and an enlightenment will come and illuminate this immortal temple!"

This is a phrase that circulated at the end of the golden age of the last century.

In the time when the pioneers and navigators left one after another, and the new generation of authors was in their prime, it suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The exact author is unknown.

Three years after this phrase was first published, Robert Lem, known as the "father of the aesthetics of evil", was born.
