The arrival of the counterfeit season often signifies a stagnation in innovation, with imitation becoming the mainstream. When the market is flooded with similar products, plotlines, and styles, consumer fatigue also increases. However, behind the phenomenon of counterfeiting lies a desire for guaranteed profits from capital, as well as the dilemma of creators lacking the motivation for originality.

Whenever a certain work or product goes viral, a wave of counterfeits swiftly follows. This short-sighted and profit-driven approach may bring temporary gains, but in the long run, it will only erode the audience's trust and expectations in the entire industry. What can truly endure are those original forces that dare to innovate and stay true to themselves.

Whether the counterfeit season will arrive may be unavoidable, but we can choose not to cater to it, not to indulge it, and to give more support and attention to originality, allowing the market to return to diversity and health. Have you come across any works recently that you found refreshing?
