🚨THE SITUATION HAS OFFICIALLY ESCALATED TO LEGAL PROCEEDINGS!🚨
Here, I'll explain the story from the beginning up to the present. It may be a long read, but it's interesting.
On May 28, 'I Fix Air-Conditioners', the author of My House of Horrors, revealed that 'Sanjiu Yinyu', the author of (I'm Not the God of Drama, Slay the Gods, and Superpower: I Have a Duplication Mirror,) had been accused of copying My House of Horrors in Superpower: I Have a Duplication Mirror.
According to the author, some character and location names were changed, while certain passages were allegedly copied almost verbatim with minor modifications. He also claimed that various settings and story elements were reused, and readers compiled numerous detailed comparisons highlighting the similarities.
At the time, he urged readers to remain calm because he was busy preparing his new novel. As a result, he entrusted Yuewen to communicate with the other party (Sanjiu Yinyu).
However, according to 'I Fix Air-Conditioners', Sanjiu Yinyu insisted that nothing had been copied, refused to change even a single word, and displayed what he described as an extremely arrogant attitude. He added, "Anyone with functioning eyes can see this level of similarity, can't they?"
On May 29, Sanjiu Yinyu released a statement saying that he had been a huge fan of My House of Horrors at the time. Therefore, he intentionally included a small horror-house segment in the novel as a tribute to My House of Horrors, claiming that the relevant plotline lasted no more than three chapters.
He also stated that if the author of My House of Horrors wished to pursue legal action, he would fully cooperate.
Furthermore, he denied committing plagiarism in any of his three novels mentioned above and added:
"If there are any further instances of maliciously spreading such baseless rumors that infringe upon my right to reputation, I will take up legal weapons and defend myself to the absolute bitter end."
Up to this point, Cuttlefish had no involvement in the matter.
However, during the dispute between the two authors, someone commented that Sanjiu Yinyu had also copied elements from Cuttlefish's worldbuilding ( the post i made yesterday)
The moment this accusation surfaced, a portion of Sanjiu Yinyu's fanbase exploded in response. Instead of addressing the plagiarism allegations, they shifted their attention toward attacking both Cuttlefish and I Fix Air-Conditioners.
Some fans even threatened to scrutinize Cuttlefish's upcoming novel line by line in an attempt to prove that it had copied material from somewhere else.
Then, readers began compiling accusations that Superpower: I Have a Duplication Mirror, Slay the Gods, and I'm Not the God of Drama had borrowed elements from multiple works, including lotm, My House of Horrors, Dragon Raja, Under the Dome, Bizarre Immortal, Little Mushroom and others.
These discussions continued until yesterday, when a large anti plagiarism initiative supported by hundreds of well known Chinese authors was launched.
Today, the author of My House of Horrors announced that he has officially begun legal proceedings against Sanjiu Yinyu and that he intends to pursue the case to the very end together with Yuewen.
He also apologized to his readers, stating that he most likely will not be able to release his new novel this year because of the case, which could take more than six months to resolve.
He wants to focus entirely on seeing this matter through before anything else, hoping that the final outcome will be a fair judgment that respects original creators and their work.
