Writing is an exhausting task, especially long stories.
The writing of this volume should be regarded as completing the planned plan.
After this volume, I was finally able to discuss the creation of the protagonist.
Time travel and rebirth are two very powerful ideas. The biggest advantage of it for the Internet is that it allows the author to skip the growth process of the protagonist and directly present the character of the protagonist to the readers. Moreover, various branch lines can be added at any time with the "memory" that can be added at any time, and the logic itself can be completely ignored. This saves a huge amount of energy!
This is wonderful.
I definitely don’t mean to say it’s bad. In fact, I didn’t choose these two ideas just because it doesn’t fit in with the logic of the self-consistent world of Sky Survey, that’s all.
This is not a world without extraordinary power. After rebirth and time travel, you don't need to worry about it, just treat it as a miracle.
In a world like Chixin Tianxian, it can be done, detected, and explained. However, it cannot be used.
I want to create a real fairy world, and it must first be logically feasible. If I can't even explain the origin of the protagonist, how can I convince readers that this is a real world?
Choose to create a native protagonist, a living person in the world of Heart Patrol.
Creating a protagonist from scratch and writing about his changes and growth are actually very difficult to achieve in online writing.
For example, many people ask why the protagonist was deceived by Dong A, and why Bai Lian led the way in the three-way agreement... Is the protagonist stupid?
Regarding Dong A, Jiang Wang's psychology went through a process from vigilance and alertness to acceptance and trust. Regarding the details of psychological changes, I have only seen one comment from a reader so far. Give me some comfort.
The protagonist was born in a small town in a small country, with limited horizons and limited knowledge.
Many times it's not that he is not smart, but that he can't see that high or that far!
How can the son of a medicinal herb merchant stand on the world and judge national affairs? Is it possible to observe the sky while sitting in a well?
Unlike the first volume, which was more of a story clue and a bystander of events, in the second volume, the protagonist has grown to a certain extent, his horizons have broadened, and his worldly skills have been honed, including employment, including cultivation...in all aspects. Logical growth, and in this volume, he becomes more of a participant in the event.
The protagonist's influence grows.
At the beginning of the second volume, I roughly showed the outline of this great world, with the Yun Kingdom and the You Kingdom as representatives, and highlighted Jiang Wang’s Thousand Miles Away, including the Luo Kingdom on the Water and the Unredeemed City of the Sinful King. place.
The entire second half of the second volume is basically deconstructing the demise of a kingdom.
Why did Yang Kingdom perish?
The writing and calendar were all lost.
Bureaucrats at all levels are selfish, ranging from the chief of the pavilion, to the city lord, to the county guard, and even the entire Yangting rulers. They all have their own ideas and interests.
There are also some people from the Yang State who have long been spiritually natives of the Qi State.
The infiltration of Qi State into Yang State was comprehensive. Politics, economy, culture, military... Even when fighting the plague, the Yang Kingdom's Four Seas Merchant Alliance was required to take on the logistics of supplies.
The root of all this is that Yang State is located on the side of Qi State, a powerful country in the world.
Its fate had long been sealed.
Yang Jiande was fighting against fate, but he failed.
This country is not without heroes, from Sun Ping who passed through the city in a prison car, to Mr. Qin who was ten miles away from home, to the veteran Ji Cheng...
The history of the collapse of the Tianxiong Ji clan can be regarded as a microcosm of the history of the Yang Kingdom's struggle.
The son dies, the grandson dies again, the man dies, the woman dies again. Young people die, then old people die.
In the end, the whole family was full of loyalists, and even the pile of corpses could not withstand the torrent.
The desolation of the country being destroyed, the tragedy of dying for the country, and the sadness of being powerless.
I think I wrote it out.
…
also.
Many of the foreshadowings left in the first volume have also been solved in the second volume.
For example, if Rat Face is not that powerful, why can he still be the leader of the Twelve Bone Faces?
For example, why Mingzhu can warn Jiang Wang.
For example, the Ghost Gate that Zhang Linchuan took away in the battle of Maplewood City, and the tears shed by Wang Changji... ruined the will of the Bone God to come to the world in the second volume...
All kinds of things.
There are some details that readers may just skim over, but they are my efforts to enrich this world.
For example, some slang and common sayings are actually original and adapted to the world of Chixin.
For example, the slang terms such as "songkuai", "boiling oil" and "private room" in Yuecheng Prison were actually made up by the author himself. In order to make the world more colorful, even if it is just a very small branch line, A fleeting scene...
These small details are expensive and difficult to benefit, and may not be loved by readers, but the hard work is very useful, but I still do it.
I am an easy-going person in life and a perfectionist in words.
The entire second volume, as far as the creative part is concerned, I am quite satisfied with it.
Taking the celestite vein as the starting point, the Hu family, and then the Xi family, one mine, one town, one city, one region, one country, are interconnected, from small to large, and there is no useless stroke.
The competition between Chongxuan Sheng and Chongxuan Zun is one line, and the various demands within the White Bone Road are another line.
There are two places that left a deep impression.
One is the secret realm of Tianfu. Even though it has been reversed again and again, I feel that it has been tossing and turning very wonderfully. However, many readers reported that the Secret Realm was not too long, which also shows that this Secret Realm is very popular.
But I feel... it ends when it should end, what needs to be expressed has been expressed, and the thread that needs to be buried has been buried, so just let it go, no matter how wonderful it is. Watering is pointless.
One is that when I was deconstructing the destruction of the Yang Kingdom from multiple angles, before the peak at the end of the volume, some readers expressed that they did not want to see the shattering of bricks and tiles. I found it boring, confused, and didn't understand what the author wanted to express.
In order not to affect the reading pleasure of readers, I cannot explain it.
But by the end of writing, all questions must have been answered.
I would like to ask, if there is no shaking of the foundation, would it be too abrupt for the building to collapse?
The shattering of that tile and brick was the prelude to the collapse of the entire house.
They symphony and progress together to complete the final finale.
In this way, when the entire Yang Kingdom was destroyed in the end, it was able to move so many readers.
I've tried my best to make the foreshadowing and foreshadowing as exciting as possible, but it still seems to lack balance and not be gripping enough.
I hope the third volume can do better - if there is still enough energy.
…
In the process of writing the second volume.
Anxiety always plagues me.
This anxiety started when I was laughed at by the crowd just after I wrote five chapters of "Red Heart Patrol", and it has been tormenting me until now.
I often collapse and encourage myself at the same time.
My spirit went back and forth between a state of collapse and a state of intoxication.
In the end, I still haven’t updated it once, and I don’t know how I persisted.
Now the two volumes have been completed according to my plan, with a total of more than 800,000 words, and I finally have an explanation for the readers.
I can say that I am worthy of anyone.
Hope you can sleep well tonight.
…
My grades are still very poor. I hope everyone can give me some strength.
It’s really hard.
at last.
The name of the next volume is, "Breaking Through the Galaxy to the End of the World".
It comes from a song I wrote personally called "It's Difficult to Travel".
"The journey is difficult, the journey is difficult, and this body is only heading higher."
"It's not enough to reach the sky and embrace the moon. It's the end of the world to break through the stars."
