Hello everyone, my name is Saku Shigure.
This book will be officially put on the shelves tomorrow. Let me talk about the update first. The chapter in the early morning will be updated at 12 noon.
The VIP chapter should be updated to ten chapters at a time. As for regular updates in the future, two chapters are guaranteed, and more than three chapters will be counted as additional chapters. I will write as much as possible.
I also know that everyone hopes to see more content, but at my age, it is inevitable that there are many things in the real world, such as the problem of supporting the elderly.
Especially these days, I go to the hospital every day and know everything about the hospital. As a mortal, I really feel the unparalleled gravity of reality...
As for the specific situation, I won’t go into details here, so as not to convey negative emotions to everyone.
Walking all the way to the shelves, I felt like I was stumbling.
I wrote several opening chapters, and was rejected several times by the editor Bacon. At that time, I was a little skeptical about my life, but fortunately I passed this opening.
Facts have proved that as a professional editor, Bacon has a very precise professional vision, and the opening effect is quite good.
She also supported me all the way later, helped me obtain various recommendation resources, and even helped me PK to Sanjiang. I am really grateful.
I have been writing a book for a while, but I am always jumping around when it comes to the choice of subject matter. I want to write about everything with a hammer and a stick. This also makes me feel like I am just starting out whenever I start a new book.
The more this time, the more I feel that Squid Girl is awesome. The young author cannot imagine his state of writing one book on one subject, whatever is popular.
In the future, I should pay more attention to exploring a subject and try my best to accumulate as much experience as possible in certain aspects.
I felt trembling before it was put on the shelves. It was finally time to test the results of this book, and I didn’t know what kind of answer sheet I could turn in.
If you think about it carefully, the style of my book is actually a bit fragmented.
Apart from revenge, the first volume is basically a simple escape + apprenticeship story. It is essentially relaxed, even pure, and it does not involve too many things.
Starting from the second volume, I wrote about things inside and outside the world.
No matter how young I am, when I write a book, I still hope to build a more realistic world as much as possible.
I have also been thinking about how a world would develop if great power were gathered into one body. Then the world would probably have a narrower path of advancement than ancient China, and there would really be "ancient families" that have been passed down for thousands of years.
Martial arts, cultivation methods, and even ordinary written knowledge are all monopolized.
The strong always stay strong.
That is the so-called... generational review!
For example, during the Han Dynasty in ancient China, during the dispute between ancient classics and modern classics, they could even rely on their right to interpret a classic and then become a scholarly power. This is the so-called "family study".
Coupled with the combination with power, the classics interpreted by scholars without a prestigious background are basically not recognized by the mainstream.
It is precisely because of this that even many middle-class landowners were forced to learn Huang Lao's teachings, which indirectly led to the rise of the Five Pecks of Rice Cult.
It is even said that the ancient Chinese imperial examination was essentially a miracle. Throughout world history, the imperial examination model of talent selection is almost unique.
When our neighbors were young, the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty learned so many things from our ancestors, but they didn't learn the imperial examination.
We often hear words like "retainer" and "xx practice". At first glance, they sound quite high-class, but aren't these things from the Warring States Period?
People at the bottom don't even have a ladder, not to mention a way to ascend, so they just go down and get up.
As for the official system in Western Europe, that is also a matter of modern times.
In the end, I chose the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties as the prototype.
There is no humble family in the lower class, and there is no noble family in the lower class.
In the world I set, it is a world where practitioners and ordinary people live together, but they are somewhat distinct from each other.
To describe it, it's a bit like the world of gods.
Practitioners usually practice alone, but they still have a decisive influence on the development of world trends.
The difference is that the mainstream of Fengshen is more like a sect, while I am more inclined to aristocratic families.
You must have noticed that the background of my book is based on the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. The current mainstream trend is the confrontation between the North and the South, and the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.
I hope as much as possible to present a completely logical world, where everything is settled in money both inside and outside the world.
The purpose is also to avoid escaping from reality so early. I always feel that the story will be very illogical.
For this reason, I even wrote "The Days of Immortals". The material life of practitioners is far better than that of ordinary people, and they know how to enjoy it better than them.
Then he was criticized, saying that immortal cultivators can't even control their appetites.
I thought about it, isn’t this “precept”?
Precepts are usually painful. Taoism is natural and freedom may be the best.
For example, the Buddhist precepts, such as not eating meat, were also stipulated by the emperor, and were a compromise under the supremacy of the imperial power.
Otherwise, do you think that all monks are really moral?
If extended to the world of unparalleled power, it seems a little hypocritical that the moral golden immortals are really all moral models.
As for the Taoist sect, perhaps many people don’t know about the Celestial Master lineage, which is hereditary. Isn’t this more aristocratic than an aristocratic family?
certainly.
When one reaches a high level of cultivation, these may all be put aside, because the temptation of the great road is often greater.
At the same time, I was also thinking that in the classical novel "The Legend of the Gods", the Immortal Cave in it is a small world, sitting on the resources of a whole world, and then calling itself a "poor Taoist".
As for the Sanxing Cave in Journey to the West, it is "a deep pavilion and a palace, and once you enter the pearl palace, it is like a shell." It's like Zhen Yuanzi, the great immortal, planted his own food and was laughed at by Wukong.
The Queen Mother held a peach banquet, but she didn't say that she would invite all kinds of gods to dine and drink dew... It felt like the gods only played high-end games!
Reflected in reality, the happy mortals of rich people simply cannot imagine it.
Then many people felt that the second volume was not "fairy" enough. The core reason is that it contains too much weight of reality, and reality is inherently heavy.
Or at the age of eighteen years and N months, it feels really difficult to write a novel in which a young man's spirit is unparalleled!
For young people, the world is going to be destroyed, oh, I want to save the world.
For adults, what world is about to end?
Tired, destroy it.
I know that my thoughts are a bit old-fashioned and too overbearing with reality, so I don’t insist on doing things according to my mentality. I try my best to write novels that are more in line with my current mood.
then.
The protagonist in my novel is not Long Aotian, a man who hates heaven and earth, but an old man who does not offend others easily.
This made many readers who read the first volume of the decisive killing protagonist feel that the second volume was written by a different person.
emmmmm......
Who can write my novel? Who can appreciate it?
The wine is not enough to add a plate of peanuts...
Another thing is, when you see the protagonist killing decisively, have you never considered why he kills decisively?
The reason he started like this was because he had nothing to lose, and he also needed to do a life-threatening thing, which was to kill as many times as he wanted.
Otherwise, why should we keep our enemies to celebrate the New Year?
The protagonist at this time really has nothing but a bad life.
As for the second volume, the protagonist is wearing shoes, his identity is basically cleared, and he has a bright future. He is no longer a desperado.
Even in the first volume, when the protagonist was being chased in Panlong Mountain, his first choice was to break He Qianyu's legs and create an injury for Xi Minglan to hinder him.
What the protagonist was thinking about at that time was to preserve himself, practice well, and live the best.
As for the grudge with the He family, the protagonist has almost wiped out all the enemies. The grudge with He Qianyu and He Qianxing is more like a "revenge of injustice".
There is no justice, only life and death. It is a true unjust war in the Spring and Autumn Period.
As for the young geniuses of the Zheng family and other families, there is absolutely no need to offend them for no reason.
He won the battle, and he won extremely beautifully. The reputation belongs to the Zheng family, but the enemy belongs to him!
I explained in the article that the master, the head of the Zheng family, was fighting He Qi behind closed doors, so you went up and slapped all the young people of the Zhao family... Is it appropriate?
certainly.
This may indeed be a bit unpleasant, because the story of Long Aotian is not as exciting!
The second volume does have a lot of problems. I feel that the biggest problem is that I forgot to change some resources at the end of the battle with Cloud Gun.
This is my fault. I probably didn’t think about it well when I wrote it, which resulted in too little sense of reward from this battle.
In fact, the most reasonable one should be to replace it with a treasure energy and add some elixirs.
I did this later when I fought with other aristocratic families!
By the third volume, the resources exchanged in the second volume have basically come in handy, which is also the purpose of writing the second volume.
As for complaining that it sounds like martial arts, emmmm, I initially positioned it as a fantasy, a bit like Jiang Ye.
One realm at a time, the first realm is indeed like a high-level martial arts, and as the subsequent realms get higher, the combat performance will be more high-end.
As for the rest, some people say they don't like the fact that there is an enemy of life and death at the beginning, and they suggest reading other better books from Qidian.
for example.
Dong Ge’s perfect world; Tudou’s Yuan Zun.
Well, there are two haters... evil smile (dog head saves life)!
Next, let’s talk about the deletion of comments. I just want to say that it is natural to criticize comments. Many people may think that the author is disrespectful and disgusting.
emmmm...that's it.
It can only be said that you know too little about this world.
If you feel dissatisfied and leave a bunch of negative comments, you will be happy and you will not support the author a penny, but you will accurately convey the negative emotions to the author and subsequent readers.
My book is an online article and a product. As an author, I naturally need to make the packaging beautiful while consolidating the quality of the product.
People follow blindly. It doesn't matter at first. They say something to you and I say something, and then it becomes whatever they say.
New readers come to the book review area to take a look, oh, thank Shennong... only the author's injured world has been achieved!
The author is a human being too!
The most important thing is that when you choose a book, you won’t choose a bunch of books with bad reviews!
There are many books in Qidian, millions of them. If you don’t like them, you can find other books that you like more.
You and I are not destined to each other in the first place, and there will be no destiny in the future, so why bother hurting each other.
You may not like my book and think the author himself is rubbish, but please don’t send a bunch of bad reviews for nothing.
After the book is on the shelves, I will raise the threshold for speaking to 100 starting coins.
Just purple.
Finally, I want to add more updates. I currently have 24,567 collections of this book. According to the subscription ratio of 10:1, it is estimated that the first order may be around 2,400.
But this is the most ideal situation. Based on the first 2,000 subscriptions, an additional chapter will be added for every 100 additional subscriptions.
As for rewards, 5,000 starting coins plus one chapter.
If there is an alliance leader, three more chapters will be added. Well, there is a high probability that there is not. Just treat it as a dream.
As for monthly tickets, one chapter will be added for every 200 votes.
Finally, thank you to all the readers who have read all the way and encouraged me to vote and collect.
