1
00:00:08,349 --> 00:00:08,866
Mina?

2
00:00:10,133 --> 00:00:10,750
Zane?

3
00:00:14,650 --> 00:00:16,466
Flowers for Algernon.

4
00:00:17,216 --> 00:00:18,083
It's a pretty good book.

5
00:00:18,233 --> 00:00:19,266
But when I first started reading it,

6
00:00:19,283 --> 00:00:20,633
I just couldn't get into it.

7
00:00:22,183 --> 00:00:22,766
Yeah,

8
00:00:23,149 --> 00:00:24,583
this kind of diary-style novel

9
00:00:24,933 --> 00:00:26,216
really takes some patience.

10
00:00:27,783 --> 00:00:28,716
Later, I saw someone online

11
00:00:28,733 --> 00:00:29,666
sum it up

12
00:00:29,683 --> 00:00:30,733
in one sentence,

13
00:00:30,883 --> 00:00:32,049
and suddenly, I got hooked.

14
00:00:32,933 --> 00:00:33,850
What did they say?

15
00:00:35,549 --> 00:00:35,916
Right.

16
00:00:36,216 --> 00:00:37,333
"After years of being humiliated,

17
00:00:37,516 --> 00:00:39,149
I came back with genius-level IQ."

18
00:00:43,750 --> 00:00:44,933
You know what? That's actually spot on.

19
00:00:45,649 --> 00:00:46,033
See?

20
00:00:46,216 --> 00:00:46,866
Then I thought,

21
00:00:46,933 --> 00:00:48,366
maybe you can summarize

22
00:00:48,466 --> 00:00:50,016
all those classic literary works like this.

23
00:00:51,833 --> 00:00:53,616
It kinda works for this one, sure.

24
00:00:54,683 --> 00:00:55,883
But for those

25
00:00:56,016 --> 00:00:57,233
massive hundred-thousand-word novels?

26
00:00:58,066 --> 00:00:59,633
Probably won't cut it.

27
00:00:59,816 --> 00:01:00,633
Wanna try?

28
00:01:03,549 --> 00:01:04,866
Let's do a little experiment.

29
00:01:05,516 --> 00:01:06,083
I'll search for

30
00:01:06,150 --> 00:01:07,316
popular web novels.

31
00:01:07,366 --> 00:01:08,733
You look up a list of classics.

32
00:01:08,983 --> 00:01:09,816
Every classic you name,

33
00:01:09,916 --> 00:01:11,683
I bet I can find a similar story from my list.

34
00:01:11,833 --> 00:01:12,849
If I can't, I lose.

35
00:01:16,849 --> 00:01:17,216
Deal.
