I have always had a lot to say, but I have been hesitant.
Because I am worried that my readers will think that I am forcing my thoughts on you.
But now I really have to say something.
Since the beginning of this book, many questions have been lingering. Let’s talk about them all in this summary.
…
First, regarding the issue of not changing the general trend of history.
Many readers actually have some misunderstandings. They think that the reason for not changing the historical trend is because it is convenient to write. Many readers said that I plagiarized for convenience and that I was incapable of deduction.
In fact, this is really a typical layman’s idea. At least for me, alternate history is very easy to write.
I have countless historical stories in my mind. I can make up a whole historical story by changing my appearance, and I don’t need to be bound by the personality of the historical figure.
For example, in the Bangzhou chapter, except for the first few chapters, the entire Bangzhou chapter is almost empty and has nothing to do with the history of the Zhou Dynasty.
Why do I have to challenge the difficulty and follow the historical process, even sacrificing some logic to some extent?
Very simply, in order to increase the sense of immersion, it is to have a sense of participation of historical figures.
Many readers said that the Bang Zhou chapter was well written, but when I looked through the background data, the best data was from the period after the demise of the Six Kingdoms to Emperor Wen of Han, Emperor Wu of Han, and the Fengtian Jingnan.
Isn’t that outrageous?
Now the maximum subscription for a single chapter of my book is more than 70,000, and the average subscription is 27,800. Logically speaking, as the first chapter, the general subscription should be 40,000 to 50,000.
However, the subscriptions for most chapters of the Bangzhou chapter are less than 35,000, which is so outrageous. It is not a hit, but there are about 20,000 to 30,000 readers, who have skipped at least half of the content of the Bangzhou chapter.
Similarly, let me give you an example. Many readers asked me not to limit myself to the Central Plains and write outside the country. Do you think I, a professional author, can think of this?
As long as there is a chapter about the Western Regions, how low is the subscription?
It's even lower than the Bang Zhou chapter. There really aren't many readers who like overseas. After all, there's no sense of immersion. Just mention it. There's no need to spend energy writing.
I myself also feel that my Bangzhou chapter is awesome. How much effort did I put into writing about that era of hegemony with passion? The boss of Nuanyang 1314 of the Silver Alliance rewarded me and said that my writing skills are good and I can go there. I’ll talk about the fictional dynasty’s struggle for hegemony later.
…
The second point is about changes in writing style.
After entering the Qin Dynasty, it immediately exploded. The results were actually quite good, but I made some mistakes because the plot of Qin Shihuang caused a lot of controversy.
At that time, I was very high-spirited and felt that I was really awesome and wanted to write something new.
As a result, I encountered so much opposition for the first time, which is what a newcomer to history should suffer. I later learned that I never had any sharp opinions in my book, and I became a peacemaker.
When facing historical figures, I just want everyone to be nice and amiable, because I don’t know which historical figure has more fans and wants to slap me again.
Many readers said that I did not write Qin Shihuang well. In fact, it was because I was so overwhelmed by the criticism at that time that I could no longer write. I could only make him collapse. I could only fight a crushing game in the future. This was the first time that I was criticized. The off-field influence is on the field, cutting off part of the outline.
During the Chengdu Author Salon, I talked about the issue of Qin Shihuang. There were a lot of big guys there, and they were dumbfounded when they heard what I wrote. It’s amazing that this book could be written without eunuchs.
Now that everything has passed, I went back to writing Emperor Hui of Han, which I am best at. I also wrote Emperor Han Wen as a half-template of Emperor Hui of Han, and it was really popular. I like this kind of character, and so does everyone.
There are so many stories I want to write about the Han Dynasty. I think everyone can write a lot, and Luo Shi can have a main line, so this is a very long story.
But I know that detailed description will lose the sense of epicness. This is a matter of choice. I want to write a heroic spirit, which is a kind of practice.
Because I can’t write a book with such a huge timeline in my whole life, the first book has enough space for me to try.
So the style of writing is always changing.
…
Third, Luo Shizi's changes.
In the Bangzhou chapter, although each Luozi has its own characteristics, the core is exactly the same.
The first Luo son who decided to change was Luo Xin. He was written to create a contrast with Luo Ling. He valued the family very much, but he had other important things in his heart. He seemed like a human being.
The Luo family of Bangzhou had both family and Bangzhou in their hearts. Now that Bangzhou is gone, a new core has to be filled in the Luo family's heart.
I chose Zhongyi and Zhu Xiaxia for the Luo family. Every Luo family member vacillates between the world and loyalty. He must have righteousness in his heart and be loyal to his master.
I talked with the editor that the same characters will soon make readers tired, especially the characters of Wei Guangzheng.
It is necessary to write about some special children, even if these children will be scolded, they must still be written. This is a method of suppressing the desire before promoting. How can there be talented children without special children, for example, without Azhi and the later family head, The character of Luo Xuangong would not be so full until now.
So Luo Qi came out like this, and sure enough, he was scolded. The foreshadowing starting from Luo Xin, and the humanity that gradually appeared in Luo Shizi, seemed to be of no use. This is a problem with my writing skills.
…
Fourth, regarding the reasons why Luo Shi is becoming more and more unpleasant to people.
1. Luo Shi’s frequent intervention: This is actually very helpless. I know readers think that staying in seclusion is a strong character, and I myself know that this will make Luo Shi appear to be a strong character.
But in fact, you can try to deduce it yourself. This is a dead end for creation, just like those immortality essays that are bound to be unfinished. Hiding from the world is a story that sounds wonderful to say, but cannot be published without a million words. An idea that will kill you suddenly.
2. I feel that there is not much change: This is another problem, the sense of violation. One of the most terrifying things in historical literature in recent years, such as the emergence of large-scale firearms before the Ming Dynasty, such as the mixing of modern supplies, as long as the sense of violation appears, a This historical article is not far from death.
I would rather be criticized and change little, but I also want to write with a sense of substitution. Every era progresses a little bit. The Han Dynasty abolished the exclusive respect for Confucianism, and eradicated the Five Husbands. Don't completely enter the era of clans. Just change it bit by bit. Just make a complete change in the end.
3. You have the ability but don’t do it: This really makes me angry when I see it. I don’t understand to what extent it counts as doing something. How can digging out all Luo’s heart, liver, spleen and lungs count as doing something?
Now I really believe that those who are forcing donations online are not the navy. This is really outrageous. In my book, Luo Shi has never been sorry to anyone. The Western Regions have been bleeding Luo Shi. In a feudal era, this is all. I can still be accused of hypocrisy all the time, but I really wrote that Luo Shi can equal the world, and the book will be finished with 200,000 words.
…
Fifth, about historical figures.
1. Questions about beauties: When I communicated with the bosses last time, I mentioned that I married off two women in my family, Cainiang and Jinxiu. Then after being reminded, I realized that this was equivalent to Marrying a daughter-in-law, this kind of plot never appears again in the book.
It’s not a bad idea to accept beautiful women with names and surnames into Rockwell’s. I know some readers think it’s unnecessary, but at most I just say a few words and don’t think it’s a big problem. But if you don’t accept them, it’s a bit poisonous. This is a typical gift of a girl, especially when the world's most beautiful woman has attribute bonuses, it is not appropriate to not accept her due to emotional reasons.
And I didn’t accept everything. I didn’t dismantle the good CPs in history. Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, Cai Wenji, and Xiao Qiao. Did any of them turn out well?
2. As for the issue of stepping on historical figures, I won’t talk about the more extreme things in other historical texts. The setting of Luo Xiao is like this. Then Luo Kong is not as good as Huangfu Song. Why haven’t I seen anyone saying that the Luo family is not as good as ordinary people? ?
Except for Luo Xiao, Luo Kong and Luo Chuan's military power could not defeat those ten thousand enemies.
After Luo Wuji, it took two hundred years before an invincible figure finally appeared.
Moreover, Guan Yu and the others have not yet reached the peak of their growth. Isn't it normal for a group of people who have just debuted to be unable to defeat Luo Xiao, who is at full level? After that, they all grew to 95 or 97. Luo Xiao would definitely not be able to beat six of them one at a time.
From this book to now, since the Qin Shihuang incident, have I hacked any historical figures?
The ones I hack are all my own original characters.
…
Sixth, regarding the issue of banning.
Many readers may not be aware that the online literary world is to some extent a scaled-down version of the entertainment industry. In such a small circle, can you imagine that there is a navy?
There are other authors who deliberately mess up the rhythm, throw dirty water, and jump up and down in the comment area. This is nothing.
There are even people who go to the fan group to make trouble, and some authors are not satisfied with the writing, and then they hate the author. They deliberately adopt the author's mentality, and some authors are made to change their accounts directly. This is really awesome and idle.
I don’t want to follow in this footsteps, so I try not to be exposed to these things now, and let them speak, as long as I can’t hear them. But when it comes to people who come knocking on my door, I don’t show mercy. If they say something unpleasant, I will directly silence them without discussion.
The truth becomes clearer with more debate. This sentence is actually false. Never try to convince someone on the Internet. No one is willing to admit that they are wrong. The best way is not to argue and go their separate ways.
Sometimes when I see some comments backstage, I can't help but want to scold him, because he still doesn't practice enough.
I will definitely write well. The more they do this, the more I will write well. Let them know that slandering others will not make their grades better, and let them watch my grades skyrocket and jump around in a hurry.
…
Seventh, regarding Zhang Jiao, let me tell you about my mental journey.
Regarding the characterization of the characters: What are the good emperors in history like? They are mean and ungrateful, full of imperial ideas. It doesn’t matter whether you have merit or not, you will be killed when you deserve it. But in my book, I feel that during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, I should have written a little bit about the emperor's mental skills, but I was immediately criticized.
Later, after talking with the big guys, I understood one thing. Many reasonable things cannot be put in online articles. In history, a mean and unkind emperor like Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty was either the protagonist or the villain. In short, I couldn't be a teammate of the protagonist, because from a simple emotional point of view, everyone hated this kind of person, so I wrote Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty again, and the results really improved.
But this led to another problem. I originally planned that as time goes by, people's hearts will change. Luo's allies all have their own thoughts. Logically speaking, people in the world have long forgotten Luo's kindness. This is very reasonable. , but cannot be written because it will make readers feel betrayed.
Throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty, the rise of aristocratic families who were preparing to write scriptures inevitably impacted Luo Shi's right to interpret scriptures. The decline of Jin Ling's princes basically caused Luo Shi's influence on the army to disappear. The rise of powerful aristocratic families not only cut off the power of the imperial power. The county also blocked the downward spread of Luo's influence.
The only thing that still exists is the political influence, which allows Luo to reasonably follow the family that shares the world and become the second in the world. This is a small and depressing plot, but after going through so much, I dare not write it. After all, it is a cool article to write this. It's just weird.
So I cut off the entire outline of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Without the suppression, Zhang Jue's outburst didn't seem very exciting.
However, my writing skills are pretty good, and it can be considered a climax. Both the number of comments and the data are pretty good.
I have actually been preparing this paragraph for a long time. From the classical Chinese text at the end, you can see how much thought I put into creating this character. I didn't even use a combined biography, but a separate biography.
In fact, in the middle of writing this volume, I felt that without depression, there would be no fun. But if you ask me if I want to write something depressed, I am still very hesitant, because if I continue to feel this way, even though I will achieve great results There won't be any improvement, but at least it will be stable.
If you want to suppress it first, you might start complaining before it is promoted. I have experienced this book too many times, and the subsequent changes have not yet been written, but it directly sprayed me bloody. I really don’t want to Dare to write.
The subsequent battle between heroes will probably be another more detailed battle for hegemony between states and states. I have re-edited a combined biography based on the respective endings of civil servants and generals, so stay tuned.
But I might try a little bit. If, I mean if, a popular character dies tragically, is this considered poisonous?
I know that most readers are the silent majority and are unwilling to comment, so I generally don’t follow comments now.
But sometimes I still want to know what readers like. If you don’t like the comments, you can like the comments that you agree with, so that I can determine what most readers think.
