Although from a data point of view, because of the strong sense of fragmentation, Backlund's story of running a team is quite a failure.
Of course, there is also a certain reason why it is a bit difficult to write the story in the later stages.
But as far as the author is concerned, I still like this story very much.
Because essentially, this entire fourth volume is an experiment.
Try to inject something new and different into a story that is almost finalized and has lost its vitality, and then persist in completing the work.
Because to be honest, before Lu Yao was forced to appear, the story was already close to getting out of control.
This is something that is difficult to avoid, because the plot that I originally wanted to write was later not dared to be written due to various reasons. Lu Yuan was unable to gradually gain higher power and status, or even surpass the country and government, and obtain the status of savior.
I didn't dare to write it like this, so I could only transfer this role to Lu Yao.
And when Lu Yao inherited this position, Lu Yuan's original role positioning was gone.
So he can only sleep and start a new story line.
This is the second story line about wandering around with Su Mei again after the sun goes out.
This story line actually tells what happened to Lu Yuan and Lu Yao.
And the Bronze Gate is a slightly violent chapter.
Originally, the original idea of the Bronze Gate was just a node and key, guiding Lu Yuan and Lu Yao to further secrets. However, as the plot went wild, the Bronze Gate really became the doomsday ship of ancient civilization.

And let’s talk about the story of Backlund itself. Due to its size, Backlund’s story was directly extracted as a separate volume, so that the previous content was just the prologue of Backlund’s story.
After looking at Backlund, the name was of course taken from Lord of Mysteries, so there were two Kleins in it.
A Klein is a tribute, that is Mr. Klein of the Seahawk Country Police.
Another gang leader, Klein, is a tribute from the mod author.
I would like to thank the Happy Prince mod author 47 again. He wrote an excellent mod. Everyone has their own position and code of action, especially the character Cynthia, Miss Swallow who is kind-hearted and full of self-sacrifice. , but in the end the wish itself was twisted by the evil god, which made people sigh.
The group was quite interesting at the time, and the theme behind The Happy Prince happened to be in line with the setting of a great being in this world, so we used it to tell the setting through a story.
What I want to test about the Backlund story is the feasibility of adapting the running team script. After all, running team scripts have rich settings, and generally emphasize conflicts, have certain logical reasoning, and appropriate combat development and skill use. In principle, it should be very suitable for adaptation.
I once had the idea of writing a running group, and the story of Stars in the Fog City is really a running group story with an excellent script, so I wrote this story based on this module and added a death retrospective. This concept helps the protagonist experience different ways to die. However, because there is only one save point for death retrospection, if you run for too long and die, you will have to play the game until the end and be killed by the boss and have to start from the beginning. I was frustrated at the beginning, so I had to delete several death endings and let the plot go directly to the end.
However, in this way, Fog Stars still looks a little bloated.
Perhaps this is also due to the author's limited ability.
For the time being, it is relatively difficult to write a running group module that fully follows the COC rules, because the abilities and attributes of investigators in COC are limited, and they are completely defenseless against those behind the scenes. They really know it. The more, the closer to madness.
This is somewhat contradictory to the basic requirement of online literature that the protagonist appears in front of others, but if the protagonist is too strong, it will not be enough.
Therefore, the final result of the story of Stars in the Fog City is quite satisfactory. Lu Yuan and Su Mei just did what two normal people can do. The only golden finger is to look back at death with memories, and then get closer to the truth again and again, and finally Put together the complete puzzle.
From this perspective, the story is unsatisfactory.
And through the bronze door, it explains the great existence of the extinguishing of the sun, the life-cleansing of those who turn off the lights, the resistance and attempts of ancient civilizations, and various paradoxes and operational examples of time travel.
In the end, I managed to achieve a fairly so-so fit between the initial setting and the final story.
As for the future.
Probably this story of Tomorrow Never Comes is coming to an end.
Although it was difficult to write a long time ago, I still persisted in writing all the plots I wanted to write.
The next volume should be the last volume, and it won't be very long.
It can be regarded as a happy ending to this story.
Stay tuned.
