Tsai Yuan-huang, professor of foreign languages and literature at National Taiwan University, shares this view: "After the lifting of martial law, although the volume of published material greatly increased, neither in quantity nor quality does serious literature of high artistic value meet the past."
另一位文學評論家、台大外文系教授蔡源煌也有類似看法：「解嚴後，儘管出版品大量增加，但無論從質和量來看，嚴肅的、藝術價值高的文學創作都不如從前」，他說。
