It’s over!
Eleven months, 1.9 million words. The story of the national master comes to an end.
In fact, the original ending was another version, but there was a small twist. After Ji Ping'an killed the Four Saints, he was faced with the crisis of the dome shattering and was not able to easily solve it.
A group of people began to discuss, anxiously, and in an atmosphere of despair, they found a way, which was the "Sky-Mending Plan."
The reborn people need to die again and send their souls and fragments to the sky to complete the repair of the sky.
A group of reborns will be killed first, but it won't be enough.
As a result, the remaining reborn people faced a choice, whether to ignore the common people and survive, or to sacrifice themselves and commit suicide.
Some main characters will choose to commit suicide to achieve the goal of saving the common people.
This is a very collectivist version that pokes fun at our aesthetics. In the face of a crisis, everyone will risk their lives, sacrifice themselves, and achieve greater self...
If a happy ending is taken into consideration, the protagonist can also find a way to summon the dead back at the end. "Just like back then" is a portrayal of a group of reborn people being recalled again.
But in the end, I still didn’t choose this version with more dramatic drama and sublimation. I still made Ji Ping’an more powerful and solved everything directly.
Why choose this? Actually, I don’t know either, just like Jiang Jiang, it’s based on intuition.
…
This postscript chapter was thought up a long time ago, so the character "Ji Yuan" was created.
What I want to express is a kind of reincarnation. The starry sky is reincarnation, rebirth is reincarnation, and stories are also reincarnation.
Just like the competition in the first volume of the God's Capital Awards and the Battle of the Dome that corresponds to the ending, many plots before and after this book correspond to each other.
There are no other benefits to this design. It’s just my preference. It’s a kind of self-pleasure that doesn’t affect reading.
Moderate self-pleasure is necessary, because in this way, writing stories can not only earn royalties, but also make the author feel happy.
Besides money, sense of accomplishment is also important, right?
When I was writing my acceptance speech, I said that before I started this book, several beginnings were cut off, and I was faced with the problem of how to regain my passion for creation.
So I chose this theme, and because of the prototype of this theme, the first volume of this book seemed a bit cliché.
This issue was discussed in the summary of Volume 1, so I won’t go into details, but there was an unexpected surprise recently.
It’s just that after this book was released on the channel not long ago, its performance in the channel was unexpectedly good... Of course, it’s not that great, it’s just better than the performance of my previous books.
I have to marvel at this wonder.
…
Talk about not enough.
Many readers can tell that the plot in the later part of the book is very fast-paced and dry, and it keeps pushing the main line. In fact, if the writing is more watery, the viewing experience will be better.
It was originally planned that way. It was expected that he would write just over 2 million words. After Ji Ping'an came back from the Pole, he would go to the Lanzhou front line to cause trouble, and then advance to the next level and then fight...
But in the end, I kept pushing it back, and my mentality was still affected by some results. This is something I didn't do well, and I must admit it.
There are also good points. The holes dug have basically been filled. Well, except for Ji Ping'an's own setting of the time traveler's reincarnation, there is basically nothing missing.
The main reason for the time traveler is that I didn’t think about it at all.
I also wrote about time travel in my last book, but I wrote about the reasons behind the protagonist’s time travel. I didn’t want to write about it in this book because I didn’t want to repeat it, and I didn’t think it was very important.
Since time travel itself is a very unreasonable thing, then let it continue to be unreasonable. Why do you have to make up a reason and leave some suspense?
Because they are all immortal heroes, when writing this book, I wanted to distinguish it from the previous one.
The original version is closer to Gao Wu's "alternative history", with a stronger historical flavor.
This one has a stronger fantasy flavor.
But it turns out that I am more suitable for writing down-to-earth stories about people. Simply writing stories between monks always feels a bit erratic and not solid.
This is why the second volume was more comfortable to write than the first.
Learn from the experience and try to be more down-to-earth when writing stories in the future.
Emotional drama is also a focus of this attempt. Although the writing is a mess and not very good, it has made great progress compared to what I used to do.
At least a few of the female characters are relatively clear. From beginning to end, except for Mu Jiuyao, who appears too little and is relatively vague, the rest of them accompany the protagonist completely, and even made me feel in my heart when I finished the book. This is the end of the story of these characters who are reluctant to let go.
But there is no such thing as a banquet that never ends, and it will eventually come to an end.
I hope that the next book can learn from experience and write better.
Although the performance of this book is average, and readers also think it is average, in fact, I personally feel that the progress has been great. I have learned and practiced a lot of things. I hope it is not an illusion. Whether there is any specific improvement will have to be seen in the next book. .
The Chinese New Year is in February, so the new book will most likely be released after the New Year. In the next period of time, I will read more books and watch more movies... I will recharge my batteries seriously. I haven’t thought of what to write yet, but I hope to find a story that will excite me.
Finally, thank you for reading my story, thank you.
goodbye.
