Recently, many readers and friends have commented that the recent plot is too sad.
I'm deeply sorry for this.
Failure to write a work that satisfies everyone is the author's fault.
However, as an author who faces his true feelings and is serious and responsible to his readers, the subsequent plot must still follow the outline. There may be some fine-tuning, but the general direction cannot be changed.
Because the plot here was planned two years ago.
There is an inevitable relationship between each link. Without one link, the entire story chain would be incomplete.
I can only guarantee that these plots are not something I came up with on a whim or just a quick thought. Instead, I decided to write them after a long period of pondering and thinking.
So please understand this point.
But don’t worry too much, I’m not the kind of author who “abuses for the sake of abusing”.
The hardship now is for the pleasure in the future, and the abuse now is for the sweetness in the future.
I said in my final remarks in "Totem of the End of the World" that my purpose in writing the book was to write "stories that can make people feel happy."
So you can rest assured that there is always a rainbow after the storm. When God closes the door, he will open a window.
Indeed, compared to the current mainstream Internet, my book is indeed a bit sadistic.
The main core isn't that mainstream either, maybe that's why it's tepid.
The theme of Data Wasteland is hard work, tenacity, choice, and growth. Little people climb from the bottom to the top step by step.
These factors may be related to my family education and related experiences.
First is family.
My parents taught me since I was a child that I should "eat according to the food" and "act according to my ability."
Therefore, since I was a child, I have never thought about how great I am or how successful I will be in the future. I just need to do what I can do well.
If you are lucky, you can go to the next level. If you are unlucky, you can stay where you are. At least you will have food to eat and at least you can live an ordinary life.
In life, I have also met many people who are proud and ambitious, but most of them have failed. Only a few have succeeded through their adventurous spirit, and most of them may be worse off than they were originally.
The phrase "the heart is higher than the sky and the destiny is thinner than the paper" has never been applied to me.
When I first started writing the book, some friends said that I knew too much about social rules and that writing a book would definitely not be fun enough.
Because society is cruel, the higher you jump, the harder you fall, so my protagonist may lack the kind of ignorant and fearless young maniac, because I have seen too many young maniacs beaten so severely by society that their spines were broken, so that later on Even the most basic work life cannot be sustained.
I have always felt that pride should be placed in the bones, not written on the face or in the mouth. Pride lasts a lifetime, like a long stream, not like a flood. It seems fierce, but in fact it is all over in one wave.
As an author, my bottom line is, even if it doesn’t improve the reader’s level, don’t bring it down.
Next is work.
I once dreamed of opening an Internet cafe. In the first few years after I started working, I didn’t spend a penny except eating lunch boxes. I saved 100,000 yuan and used some money from my family to open an Internet cafe.
Unfortunately, it was 2005, and the Internet cafe business was at the end of its rope, and as a result, it lost most of its money.
During the most difficult period, for four years, I worked during the day and drove illegally at night. I worked twenty hours a day and skipped lunch just to sleep for an extra half hour.
I have struggled all the way until now, and I can’t be considered successful, but at least I have a house to live in a first-tier city, married to a fairly beautiful wife, I can also support the elderly and children, and I can also do something I like to do, such as writing. , play games.
I climbed up step by step, and the hardships were hard to describe, but I climbed to a certain height after all. Maybe this experience affected my values and also affected my creation.
The protagonist doesn't level up fast enough and isn't fun enough.
I say this not to blame myself for my lack of writing ability, but to explain my creative intentions.
After the storm, there must be a rainbow.
But the violent storms and rough seas may continue for some time.
I hope all my friends will be more patient and tolerant, and continue to support the captain in sailing the ship. The plot that follows will definitely not disappoint you.
Thank you!
