I don’t know why today, but the cold white water I drank was a bit bitter. It reminded me of the salty sea water Gao Jie swallowed.
Looking back at the writing of the entire ninth volume, it is really a dream.
The chapter of Mirror Flower, Water Moon can be divided into two parts, the Demon Realm Chapter and the Mysterious Realm Chapter.
Although I had already expected the difficulty of writing and was progressing strictly according to the writing plan, it was indeed more difficult than expected.
The Demon Realm Chapter is a completely new way of writing for me. The entire Demon Realm setting is laid out while the protagonist barely shows up and can only watch.
The first half may be classified as "behind the scenes"?
But it can't describe the fun behind the scenes. You can't write about playing big chess, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, jumping out and overturning the chessboard... none of it can be written.
Because our Jiang Wang cannot jump out of the mirror world, he has to say goodbye when he comes out.
Compared to the vast number of strong men in the entire demon clan, he doesn't have to pretend to be a pig, he is. Only what is eaten.
And being targeted by the demon world’s will throughout the entire process, the chess game he played was destined to be fruitless.
When the protagonist does not appear, and the story is completely advanced with a new character, and a lot of settings need to be laid out, and there are so many restrictions, how to write the story in a good-looking and attractive way is a question I have to think about.
So after Jiang Wang suddenly fell, I first had a battle in Wu'an City, using the collision between Zuo Xiao, Jiang Mengxiong, Yuan Xianting, and Zhu Yi to raise my expectations.
Many characters related to Jiang Wang are used to jointly outline the waiting for Jiang Wang to return home. Put readers in an atmosphere of anticipation and waiting.
Then the picture of the demon world began to unfold slowly.
Of course, laying down the foreshadowing while outlining the expectations is also what a qualified author should do.
As the most powerful opponent of the human race, the old enemy that has been inherited from ancient times, the demon race is too important and must be highlighted. Otherwise, what will be lost is the depth of the entire story.
But Jiang Wang cannot move, which is the biggest limitation. He could only sit at the bottom of the well and wait for the sun to rise and the moon to set. Use a narrow perspective to observe everything in the demon world.
This is a chapter destined to be depressing, very depressing. Because all Jiang Wang's efforts will fail and all his plans will come to nothing. Keep hoping, keep despairing, keep working hard, keep being knocked down... keep repeating this process.
So I tried to write more relaxedly and use a relatively humorous writing style to alleviate this depression.
But in fact, after stripping away Chai Ah Si's overconfidence, Yuan Mengji's only true stupidity, and Yu Xin's live broadcast of swearing... the background of this part of the story is very cruel.
When the Shenxiao Bureau unfolds, the story reaches its climax.
This is the most difficult copy to write so far. There are so many characters, the clues are extremely complex and entangled with each other, and it travels infinitely through time and space.
Let's review their names now -
Xiong Sansi (Rao Bingzhang), Yu Xin, Zhu Lanruo, Zhu Xie, Yang Yu, Quan Xihua, Shu Jialan, Lu Qilang, Yuan Mengji, Chai Asi, Zhu Dali, Shegu Yu.
Spider string and dog respond to Yang.
Cicada's Dharma Yuan, Muntjac Xingkong, Tiger Taisui, Lu Ximing, Zhu Yi, Xuan Nangong, Yuan Xianting, Qi Zhiben.
Think about it, express your gratitude,
He Huating, Yuan Xi, Yu Zhen, Chai Yin.
In just one Shenxiao game, twenty-nine characters, including Jiang Wang, danced together.
Everyone has his own plans and desires.
Do you still remember these names when you see them again after a few months?
Horizontally expanded is the power structure of the entire demon clan, Black Lotus Temple, Ancient Nan Mountain, Conferred God Platform, and the Ancient Imperial City.
The vertical shuttle is a trace of history, He Huating in the depths of time, Chai Yin thousands of years ago, Yu Zhen and Yuan Xi ten thousand years ago, and even the more ancient Bu Lian.
When I wrote about Zen Master Xingnian crossing the Tianhe River alone, Mr. Qin asked me in the group that it was so big here and if Jiang Wang didn’t go home, how could he continue?
This is already considered the climax, and the wave is endless. From the reader's point of view, you can also feel how difficult it is to write the rest.
I just say, don't worry.
When I wrote about Xu Xiangqian's "A Journey Here" and about the Fountain of Youth recognizing its owner, I completely felt that the readers' emotions were already full, and the readers' expectations had reached their highest peak.
The chapter "Being a proud and famous person in the world" is a short chapter of 4,000 words, but the chapter contains 3,000 words!
On average, three people commented for every four words. Everyone is discussing the plot enthusiastically, and the chapters are longer than the main text.
If the book were to end here and reach a higher climax to let Jiang Wang go home, the reader's emotions would be comparable to that of the Sword Immortal in The Meeting of the Yellow River.
But Jiang Wang couldn't just go back.
Because the depiction of the demon clan is not enough, the pattern of the demon clan has not yet been revealed.
A person's strength is reflected by his opponent. If the demon clan is not magnificent enough, how can the human race that overthrow the demon clan be called great?
The momentary peak destroys the overall structure.
However, when the emotion reaches its climax, it cannot burst out immediately. It has to be endured and endured, which feels very tortured.
This is Chapter 1,030, and the end of Shenxiao Bureau is Chapter 122.
The interval between chapters nineteen is actually not that long.
But because I could only write one chapter a day, I spent more than half a month writing it.
I also want to accomplish it in one stroke, but after all, writing is not about moving bricks. I can’t just grit my teeth and move a few more bricks. I also need to be energetic, emotionally stable, and inspired to advance the story with stable quality.
I understand the torture that slow writing can cause a reader to read, especially when emotions are already building up. But I really can’t say a single word. I had to update for many days, but I really had a headache and couldn't write anymore at night. I set an alarm clock the next morning, got up early at 6 or 7 o'clock to write, and always finished writing by the update time.
So I always say please keep reading. If some readers are anxious to read, they can wait until the end.
Most readers have given me patience. But there are still a few people who bother me by refreshing the screen at certain times every day, and scold me back and forth.
I'm almost used to it. I just want to give a word of advice at the end of the chapter. It’s okay if you don’t like it or just think it’s a bad book. Nowadays, the Internet is very developed and there are many good works. You can read other books first. Put your true heart aside before talking.
Then someone posted a message in response to me - you told me not to read the book, and I told you not to read how I scolded you. Isn't this very reasonable?
So damn reasonable.
I can only ignore it.
Why do I say writing for Shenxiao Bureau is too difficult?
After arriving at the Fountain of Youth and recognizing his master, Jiang Wang can't leave yet, and of course he can't die either, and the story still has its ups and downs.
Each character must have his own behavioral logic, and Jiang Wang must navigate through the gaps. As the protagonist, he must connect the story lines and give readers a main perspective. As the opposite ant in the Shenxiao Bureau, he must also shine his own light.
So I gave a lot of settings to make the whole story evolve reasonably. Zen master Xing Nian is innocent, Quan Yingyang seeks a new world in the cave, Xingkong sees the three-life orchid flower, Xuan Nan Gong wants to cast the body of a divine king...
All his wishes came to nothing, and finally Yu Zhen got 10%.
I used it to pick up the lonely boat to cross the Tianhe River, and pick up the fountain of youth to recognize its owner... It was Yuan Xi who asked about time, Chai Yin was unrestrained and detached, Yu Zhenwan lost 10%, and Bu Lian completely disappeared in time.
Of course, readers who have read so far know better that there is another very important clue in Bu Lian - his destiny starts with Bu Lian and ends with Yu Beidou.
The entire Shenxiao Bureau is about you singing and me appearing. Many characters are very charming and I personally like them very much. Of course, in addition to the dazzling excitement, there are too many intertwined clues, which will indeed make some readers who are impatient to enter that world "dazzled", dizzy, hard and tired.
There is no way around this, and no plot can satisfy everyone.
I have to thank readers for their support.
With my steady updates of 4,000 words every day, the number of subscriptions for the Demon World chapter has steadily increased. After the Shenxiao Bureau was launched, the skyrocketing mode started, and it rose to 38,000!
You should know that He Chongtian's follow-up orders have always been between 18,000 and 20,000, which has given me a lot of pressure. And the Shenxiao Bureau has nearly doubled.
This is a book with six million words!
And "Red Heart Patrol" can still have such reader stickiness, with so many and more and more readers following the updates of only 4,000 words every day.
It was these readers who made me sure that I could try out more writing possibilities. These readers told me that what really impresses readers is the quality of the story and the emotion poured into the words.
In a fast-paced society, people generally pursue the results of "instantaneous thinking", but my readers can tolerate my slow writing.
I have always said that your expression of this world is your choice of this world.
If you like it, vote for it, subscribe to it, support it with real money, and express your love with true feelings, you are telling the world what kind of work you want.
Similarly, if you hate it, criticize it, and spurn it on various occasions, you are also telling the world what kind of works you don't want.
I think they all understand.
The only kind of people I can't understand are those who have to read every chapter, and because Qidian piracy is now so good, they have to spend money to read every chapter, and then scold them every chapter.
Picture what?
After more than six million words, you still follow every chapter and read the four thousand words on time. That can only be because I wrote it so well that you can't stop.
Otherwise, can I still love me because of you?
There are tens of thousands of updates every day on the entire network. You, like the 38,000 current readers who have subscribed, have chosen to be sincere... You are very honest with your body!
I'm really in a good state of mind now. You know, I am someone who found it unbearable even when someone talked about water at first. I think I wrote so carefully, how can you talk about water?
】
Later I discovered that in any book there are many people talking about water...
One day I saw an author friend saying in the group, "I really wonder if my readers are in the desert, why are they sending me distress signals every day?"
Ha ha ha ha.
Let me tell you seriously, really, if no one gives you money, if you don't hate me to the core, don't mess with my mentality anymore.
It’s been a long time since I competed for the rankings, and I haven’t asked for a monthly ticket for a long time.
My energy in Shenlinjuan has been exhausted by those people who attack the screen all day long. That’s why I can only update 4,000 per day now.
I just want to finish writing this story safely and completely outline my fairy world without leaving any regrets.
There are people who intercede for the reason why there is a negative emotion collection system. The more people criticize, the better the writing is.
damn it! I really am not!
What do you think the author faces every day?
You think you are just venting one's emotions. If you are unhappy, you have to vent.
Hundreds and thousands of negative emotions add up. Have you ever thought about whether you can bear it?
So far, I have been scolded the most since I wrote "Red Heart Patrolling the Sky".
One is Zhu Biqiong who returned from the secret realm of Tianfu. People have always said that she was rescued by the alliance with krypton gold. My allies are all readers who really like this book, and no one has ever tried to interfere with my creation.
One is The Meeting of the Yellow River. At that time, many people talked about water and why it portrayed so many useless characters. They said they should stop reading this book after reading this point.
One was Jiang Wangdian's duel on the stage and lost to Zhong Xuanzun.
One is Lin Youxie. Many people say that she always targets Jiang Wang and that this character is too disgusting and annoying.
Now that I have written it, and looking back on these stories, is there really anything worth criticizing?
If Zhu Biqiong died at that time, how could the sea-covering line be closed? Should I re-write a pair of twin flowers and add a plot?
The story has advanced to this point, which character in The Yellow River has not shined? Which character is useless? Still need to question?
If Zhongxuanzun lost that battle, his sense of oppression would immediately collapse. After his battle losses and his fight side by side with Jiang Wang, is it still touching?
Not to mention Lin Youxie, she is now one of the most missed female characters.
I have written six million words. The quality can be seen, and the six million words of hard work can be felt. Can it give me a little more confidence? A lot of the time...wait a minute?
On January 29th of the Gregorian calendar, a person named "xxx" on Weibo (originally I wrote his ID, but I deleted it after thinking about it) sent me three comments.
One is "Happy Death Day".
As many of you know, that day is my birthday.
One was "Hurry up and hang up", and the comment was on a Weibo post where I said I had a bad cough.
One is "Congratulations." This Weibo comment is about my memory of my grandma. On December 27, 2022, my grandma passed away. I wrote a Weibo message that day, and this was what he congratulated me on.
Until now, I have never spent money to buy a leader, a monthly ticket, or even a monthly ticket red envelope (this is a formal channel recognized by the platform to compete for the rankings).
Some people say that Chixin became popular through operations and rankings. They say that so many alliance leaders bought it.
I offered a reward of 200,000 yuan to prove my identity, but no one has come to take the money so far. Do they not love money? I slapped them in the face with 200,000 yuan, but they didn't dare to react! They kept barking in the gutter, but never dared to come to me.
I write with such innocence.
This is true when there are two hundred monthly passes, and it is also true when there are twenty thousand monthly passes.
This is true when sixty is ordered, and it is also true when twenty-seven thousand are ordered, and thirty-eight thousand are followed.
All the readers have been brought back by me word by word, with a lot of effort and blood.
All results are voted for by readers and promoted one by one spontaneously.
It will only reach the position that readers hold it in.
I cherish readers more than anyone else.
But I never imagined that a person I had never known or interacted with could hate me so much.
I rely on my own talent and hard work to win everything openly.
Just because you are stubborn about your writing ideas, should you endure this?
I couldn't understand it, they were so sick.
I was so angry in the alliance group that day that it was my birthday. I originally asked for leave to rest, but in the end I didn't get any rest. I ran to the police station to call the police on the spot, but the police said they couldn't control me and wanted me to go to court.
It was the end of the year and it was very cold. I was stuck in traffic for two hours. The court is closed.
At seven o'clock in the evening, I have to rush to my grandma's house for dinner, because my grandma has the same birthday as me, and my family is waiting for me. The next day I had to rush back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year, because my grandma had just left and needed to keep a vigil.
I can't say this to my family. I can only complain to my friends in the alliance group.
How to calculate time cost? I previously sold an 8,000-word short story for 200,000 yuan plus box office share. On average, a word costs more than twenty-five yuan.
But after running around in the cold wind all afternoon, all I gained was anger, anger, anger.
My huge time cost means that I can just leave it alone. I need to update every day, so I have to endure it silently and digest my emotions by myself.
Is writing difficult?
I enjoy it!
I love writing, and I like to challenge the difficulty of writing. My greatest pain lies in my inability to do so, and my greatest joy lies in the improvement of my writing ability.
What is difficult about serialization?
The hard part is absorbing so much negative emotions and still insisting on what you feel is right!
I am not a strong person, I am far inferior to the characters I write about.
Their hearts are as strong as iron and they won't be bothered by anything.
I don't care about anything.
I am sincerely grateful to those who have always supported me and given me strength.
My readers!
I will not resent those who are dissatisfied with me and criticize me.
But I will not forgive those who hurt me and slandered me.
We may meet by chance, or we may never meet again in our lifetime, just because of this book.
I start well and finish well.
You can stay or go as you wish.
I don't want to repeat myself. So if there is another one, I won’t write about Xianxia.
Therefore, "Bare Heart Patrol" carries all my fairy tale dreams so far.
I am going to write what I think is best, not what anyone else thinks is best.
I may write slower and slower, and even slower.
But I will definitely be worthy of the first six million words.
I should have summarized the writing of the Mysterious Realm chapter, but it got further and further away.
I was a little sleepy, so I made an appointment to have dinner with someone in the evening.
Then stop here and just treat it like a flower in the mirror!
Or, one sentence is enough to describe it - it catches the Shenxiao Bureau.
As we all know, it is not high if you tune it up high, but it is high if you can catch it.
…
Finally, let’s report the results:
When Crane Climbs to the Sky ended, the average booking was 19,500, with the highest follow-up booking being 24,000.
At the end of Jinghua Shuiyue, the average subscription reached 27,000, and the follow-up order reached a maximum of 38,000.
By the way, if you haven’t ordered all of it, you can order Chapter 119 of the first volume, “Pressing the Sword and Looking Around with a Confused Heart.”
That's the first chapter on the shelves, and it's also a reflection of the book's high order.
I want to see how many real readers this book has. How can it be possible that with an average subscription price of less than 30,000 yuan, thousands of chapters are discussed, and so many readers discuss the plot!
This is where I stop writing and end the entire ninth volume.
Take four days off (five days including today).
Updates will resume on Wednesday, March 15th in the Gregorian calendar.
…
The name of the next volume is——
"Everyone has become who I am today"
