Hi hi hi, after months of writing that I can’t even count, I finally finished the third volume of this book. It’s 1.87 million words, which is about the same length as expected. Most of what I wanted to write. It’s been written, and I’m quite satisfied with it hhh. I don’t know what you think_(:з」∠)_. If you have any suggestions, you can tell me in the book review area, or you can join the group to chat with me. , anyway, the author writes books purely as a hobby, and chatting with readers is always the happiest thing for me.
Then let’s talk about the third volume according to several themes as before, and the plans for the fourth and final volume, right? (ˉ?ˉ?).
(1) Regarding the plot of this volume, this volume basically follows the outline very smoothly and is written all the way to the end. Basically, there are no major changes. Except for the plot of the male protagonist, female protagonist and the devil at the beginning, the previous volume The summary at the end of the volume also mentioned that it was originally a more serious ending, but after thinking about it, it was unnecessary and I changed it.
As for the other parts, it just goes along the way. As mentioned before, the main plot of the third volume is not so clear, but it is there. You should be able to see it when you see it. The plot is about the protagonist getting to know the world outside Aleister, which will be more grand. The world is shown.
Tide barriers, abyssal creatures, starry sky, bottomless sea eyes, etc. These special things, the characteristics of the void, past history, lost civilizations, the origin of magic, and a series of "question marks" are all revealed bit by bit as the plot progresses. Well, this is a slight change compared to before. All these revelations are placed in the protagonist's experience, and the long story is reduced as much as possible hahh.
Then the main plot is about the dragon clan. From the moment when the protagonist knew Sieg's true identity, he slowly laid out some things about this plot, and then directed the direction here. In the end, it was relatively smooth. The plot has come to this point.
As the protagonist said in the end, this is not a perfect result, but it is also an acceptable ending. Meeros has been solved, the dragons have also gained their freedom, and the threat of abyssal creatures that potentially threatened the entire continent has been eliminated, but in the end Great people have passed away, and regrets will last forever.
"Grand narrative" is a way of writing about epics that I am very interested in. It is about the rise and fall of entire civilizations, and the choices of one planet and one era. For example, it is the feeling of "Stars" and "Civilization 6". The ups and downs of an entire planet and an entire kingdom, this grand feeling can particularly exaggerate the epic feeling.
So I also used some grand narratives in the book, such as the resistance of the previous civilization, the tide barrier, and the past battles at the bottom of the abyss, and the Morning Star bombs. These things have affected the wonders of the entire continent. I don’t know if there are any Let you feel that grand feeling hhh, my personal level is not very high, please forgive me for not writing it well?(ˉ?ˉ?).
But after writing the grand narrative, I have to return to the "individual narrative". I don't know if any readers are like me. They don't feel much about how many people have died in a certain place, but when they go to one of the individuals and see their You can only feel something when you are suffering.
That's pretty much it. After all, grand narratives are performed by individuals. When writing stories, you still have to put your perspective on these people, their reasons for doing things, their motivations for doing things, their sorrows and joys, satisfactions and regrets. , in the third volume, it will be placed on the Sieg family and those heretical dragons.
As for the life and death of Sieg, a great being, we will leave it to talk about it later. The third volume can be regarded as officially over. I personally think it is a good node. I understand the major disasters and the Dragon Clan. A new life begins, and the protagonist's strength also grows further in the process hahh.
(2) The tone of this book. After reading this, I think everyone has made some judgments about the style of this book. Of course, the "style" here refers to the cruelty of the plot, not the cruelty of the plot. As for writing style and the like, at my level, I definitely haven’t been able to imitate the style of my idols like Big Eyeballs and A Guy hahh.
The style of this book can actually be seen from the protagonist. It is serious, but not too cruel, and has a lot of lightheartedness. In other words, the protagonist does not actually suffer too much pressure.
As an earthling, what does the world care about to him?
Just those, Aviya, and those friends are gone, so he is actually a guy who has always been a little "out of touch" with the world.
It is precisely because of this "freedom from the world" that the protagonist seems to be particularly free, and some of his actions are always beyond the imagination of people in this world, because they care about and demand many things. This is the same as the protagonist. Completely different.
The protagonist's character is like this. He basically doesn't care much about other people's opinions and will not deliberately be influenced by others to put burdens on his shoulders. This can actually be seen from Sieg and those beings who have missions. These beings He is the one who can truly be called "great", and the protagonist is neither self-proclaimed nor can he be considered one.
This freedom makes the overall tone of the article relatively relaxed, because the protagonist has never been under any pressure. He can leave whenever he wants and is not afraid of death. This is what I want to write in this book, hhh, I can only say Being able to "wander" is also a considerable wealth~
This tone allows me to write more freely, and I can also write what I want to write in this book. As an outsider, the protagonist changes the direction of the entire world as an intruder. He is not the strongest, but he is always Can bring changes at critical moments.
However, there is also a problem, which is the emotional ups and downs. Because of this freedom, all the events experienced by the protagonist are relatively dull. This is not to say that there are no twists and turns, but it is just that the pressure will never cover the protagonist. I think you all have it too. It feels like this. When you watch the protagonist, you won't feel that kind of tension.
This is a pretty big problem. Although I can say that the protagonist is such an existence, and being around this guy can make some particularly bad things less bad, the lack of emotional ups and downs is indeed a fact.
This aspect is also the reason why the protagonist has a "too tough personality". His will is so strong that he won't collapse, won't be afraid, and won't be sad. His mood that doesn't fluctuate much is both a characteristic and a flaw.
So the next book, yes, hhh, I am planning the next book, don’t worry, I have too many random thoughts every day. I am thinking about the plot of this book, and I am also thinking about the next book, and I will not lose sight of one thing or the other.
The next book will be a very serious, cruel, and crazy world, including the protagonist. I will also delve into his emotions, and it will not be like this one, where a "firm will" can cover up all the suffering. , he will suffer oppression and suffering, and there will be a knife hanging high above his head that may fall at any time.
Of course, if you dig deep into the core of the protagonist and take off the outer layer of emotions that are closer to ordinary people, he will still be the outrageous macho man. As for why I like to write about macho men, oh, I just like this kind of character who is not entangled.
As for the theme, it will be "Cyber Evil God", a chaotic and disordered world, a world where future technology, superpowers, wasteland and a bunch of elements are mixed together. The protagonist's experience will be based on the "Travel" of this book. ” becomes a real struggle for survival.
Mechas, transformations, and big guns are all romances that men can write ruthlessly, so there is no need to worry about being too complicated and confusing. After all, if you think about this book carefully, it actually just borrows the outer layer of "Western Fantasy", and the inner part All the settings were made by me, and they are quite complicated. So far, they are not too confusing, at least there are no obvious contradictory settings and plots hahhh.
That’s it for me to talk about the planning of the next book. After all, I haven’t finished this book yet, so it’s better to be too ambitious when talking about the next book. The point is actually to talk about the tone of this book, about cruelty and ease. this topic.
Regarding the life and death of characters, for me, the difference between cruelty and ease is whether they "die a worthy death" and whether their death is meaningful. For example, the sacrifice of the professor at the end of this volume is actually completely great. He followed his own wishes. , burning one's own life, this kind of death can actually only be called a regret, far from being cruel. qδ.net
The real cruelty is when a character tries his best to do something, but in the end it is meaningless. Human life is like grass. He may be talking the next moment and be torn to pieces by a monster that suddenly appears. For example, " "Escape from the Food Chain" is a book that I have read before. It may still be talking on the last page, but it will be broken into two parts the next moment.
Moreover, these characters have to be supporting characters along the way with the protagonist. Only then will you realize this
It has a cruel feeling. In fact, many people died in the war in this book, but I deliberately did not write about it in detail.
People whom Night Blade knew, a group of old members of the Night Church, may have interacted with the protagonist, and they suddenly disappeared when they experienced certain things. This is normal. After all, various dangers exist, but if you think about it carefully, The feeling of writing about it is completely different from not mentioning it.
I will definitely not write this book in this way, because the tone is like this. Only in the next book can I really reveal those extremely cruel facts. If I deliberately write like this now, it will be a failure. So a worthy death is what these characters are bound to have.
(3) After talking about the third volume and the tone of the whole book, it’s time to talk about the story of the fourth volume. The title of the fourth volume is "Utopia". When you hear this name, you will know that it does not look like Wang Yu. This guy will sort things out, so the specifics of what he will write will be kept secret for the time being.
I mentioned before that this book has four volumes in total.
"Welcome to the New World, Wang Yu"
"Surge of Storm"
"Wandering"
"Utopia"
That's it. Now I have finished writing three volumes to the last volume. The fourth volume will not be too long. As I mentioned before, it will probably be slightly longer than the first volume, but it will definitely not be as long as the second and third volumes.
This can be regarded as some of my personal habits. If I don’t procrastinate, I will finish the story I want to write and it will end peacefully. If I force the extension to be completed, it will be meaningless. It’s not hhhh.
The plot has progressed to this point and has slowly reached its final stage. Many things are gradually revealed, including the origin of magic, past stories, and the special characteristics of the protagonist...
The protagonist's strength has also begun to reach a level that can greatly affect the world. When it reaches the levels I want to write about, participation → influence → change → dominance. At this level, that limited ability will gradually grow to the point where it can The level of turbulence caused by the front.
So, that’s the summary at the end of Volume 3. Tomorrow I will update the protagonist’s character attribute skill cards as of Volume 3. I will write about Volume 4 carefully. See you then! ~(￣▽￣~)~
