"The elixir that gives you the poison will be mine" was actually finished yesterday, but I didn't write the summary because it was late yesterday, so I ended it today.
Since I have no reason to stop, I have finished chasing Suiyi Dalao’s strategy for the old man wearing a ring, so I still have to sit down and write down the words~
This book was serialized on December 14, 2020, which is exactly one year and three months now.
Various things have happened in this year and three months, needless to say to the outside world, repeated epidemics, quarantines and floods, economic downturn, increasing employment pressure, and then the war started next door, and now the stock market has various (I also lost a lot on my fund stocks, but I didn’t use leverage, so I turned off the software and pretended to be dead, haha, let’s all encourage each other)
In addition to these messy things outside, I also have some problems here one after another.
First of all, your body is completely different after you have passed your thirties than when you were in your early twenties. Many minor problems that you wouldn't have thought of before have begun to appear one after another. Many people in this industry have irregular work schedules. When it comes to writing... the later you go, the more inspiration you get.
People generally stay up late, sit for long periods of time, and may not be able to control their diet, so problems can easily arise. I should be considered pretty good. I basically cook my own meals and exercise every day. However, last year’s physical examination was a wake-up call.
Therefore, I would also like to advise everyone to eat on time, keep exercising, and try not to stay up late, because it is very likely that when you are in your teens and twenties, you are very resilient and you can do whatever you want, but it does not mean that it has no impact on your body. , especially when you are in your thirties or forties, you will have to pay off your debts, and when you are older, the decline in your quality of life will be terrifying.
Although it is a bit cliché, health is indeed the most important. No matter what you want to do now and in the future, this is your capital. .
I am also reflecting on myself and hope to maintain a healthier routine in the future.
Then, let’s talk about this book.
My original plan for this book was actually to write a fun novel, because I read a lot of books, including novels about young people, single heroines, harems, and even gender-changing books.
I'm in a good mood. When I've had enough sleep, I want to read something that is logically rigorous, full of characters, and full of twists and turns. But sometimes I feel very tired after a long day's work and can't muster the energy, so I might read some exciting novels to have fun.
"My Day Has 48 Hours" Well, to be more precise, after I finished writing "Interstellar White Rabbit Candy", I was looking for interesting articles to read, but I couldn't find one I particularly liked, so I thought I might write a book. Have fun together for everyone.
But I did underestimate a lot of things at that time.
There are many authors at Qidian, and they all have different styles and topics.
There is a reason why most authors specialize in a certain subject matter, because readers who are looking for books have different tastes. When they find a book they like, they will note the author and tag it.
For example, when talking about Infinite Streaming, everyone will think of a certain author, when talking about basketball and football articles, which great god will come to mind, and when talking about harem, some names will immediately come to mind subconsciously.
I'm the same way myself. Whatever genre I want to read, I always read some articles by my favorite authors first.
In life, it is inevitable to be labeled.
Because tags can help you quickly summarize and find what you want.
But there is also a problem. For example, if you remember an author with a single heroine label, and click on his next book and find out that it is about a harem, you will inevitably be disappointed.
The situation here may be even more serious.
From 48 to Immortal, it is no longer a question of whether I have a harem or not, even my style has changed.
My original plan was to write a cool article about Ben Dihua, and Dihua will inevitably be accompanied by some intellectual decline, and this will make it very painful for some readers who come to follow me because of 48 or Xingbai.
And I should have thought of this kind of thing a long time ago.
Because I had done this kind of trick when I was writing 48, and the style sometimes changed quite a lot between different copies. The most obvious one was the Lego chapter. Looking back afterwards, the evaluation was very polarized.
But because it is an unlimited stream, readers who don’t like it can skip an entire script, so the impact is still controllable.
But when it comes to the elixir, because it is a complete story, the contradictions cannot be suppressed.
To give the simplest example, when Lu Jing went to Gu Caiwei, regarding the issue of whether Gu Caiwei was a virgin, if I followed Shuangwen's standard processing process, I should have written her as a virgin.
Some readers also raised this issue with me, and then I thought about it and made a patch. However, this patch aroused strong resentment from other readers. People even scolded the reader who suggested it in the comment area, which made me feel guilty. of.
Because in my opinion, both sides are actually right... This responsibility lies entirely with me.
I know where everyone's disappointment comes from. Many old readers have been following this book since they were 48 or even earlier. Everyone has a fixed expectation before opening the book.
I failed everyone's expectations, and then I made a second mistake.
——I started to look back, and wanted to write more logically, but in this way, the Dihua part was weak, and the enjoyment was also reduced.
The result of the compromise is that people on both sides are not satisfied, even though my original intention is to satisfy more people.
If I had to choose again, I might want to write a fun article about Bendy's routines according to the original structure.
Hey, but there’s no if…
The story of the elixir is over, but I still hope that everyone who has followed it can find some happiness in it, so I didn’t write this story in vain.
Finally, let’s talk about some personal matters. As you can see, my mental state was not very good at the end of writing this book. In the next month, I basically updated it every day.
Firstly, it is due to the accumulation of fatigue. Writing a story is like a marriage that has experienced the seven-year itch. It lacks a lot of freshness and needs to be filled in and finished. It is more about solving daily trivial matters. Secondly, from 48 to the elixir. Basically there is not much rest in between.
It's like a long march.
Furthermore, I myself also ended a relationship. To be honest, I saw that many of my classmates and friends in my circle of friends had already given birth to their second child, and I was still struggling to go through the emotional cycle, and my mood was quite complicated.
I was confused for a while, and I was looking for videos on site B. I accidentally saw some popular science about HSP (highly sensitive people), and found out that I am a complete HSP.
The characteristics are basically consistent, so I'm quite happy.
Because I discovered that there are quite a few HSPs, about one in five people have them, so I am not a heretic. Moreover, after experiencing the two years of collapse and haze after my first love breakup, I have now mastered the ability to control my emotions.
It's pretty awesome, right?
People always have to grow.
Let’s talk about your next plans.
I want to write a short story, about 200,000 words?
I started writing this after I fell out of love for the first time. I wrote 30,000 words intermittently. I read it out some time ago and found it quite interesting.
So I wanted to finish it, but of course I had to redo the beginning.
Let's do it now. The title of the book has been applied for. It's called "The Recovery Plan for Broken Love in the Cultivation World: Over-the-Counter Edition". It will probably be available tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. If you want to read it, you can save it~
