As the title states, if nothing unexpected happens, this book will be on the shelves at midnight on September 13th.
That is to say, in about fifteen hours, the subscription will be tested.
As usual, let’s talk about the original intention of the creation first, and then respond to some questions from readers in a unified manner.
Old book friends who are familiar with pudding should know that I belong to that kind of niche author. For example, I really can’t write systematic articles.
After finishing the last book, I planned to cross my comfort zone and write about some subjects that I had never touched before, because I got tired of writing about the same subjects.
But without exception, they all jumped.
There are many reasons.
For example, my understanding and knowledge of different types of novels are too shallow; I am not familiar with the subject matter itself, which leads to confusing plot arrangements...
In short, one word, dish!
This also caused me to fall into deep self-doubt. The pile of writing theories I have accumulated over the years seems especially ridiculous at this moment.
Fortunately, during this process, many people helped me analyze the problem and told me that this was just a confusing stage that the author had to go through. If you can walk past it, you can take a step further.
After learning from the pain, I decided to find a breakthrough point from the subject matter that I was best at, so I came up with this book "Super God-level Academic Master".
The inspiration for this book came from a mother and son I met while walking.
That's right, it's the prototype of Lu Xiuxiu.
I was walking by the river, and they were walking in front. Along the way, the mother scolded the child earnestly, while the child resisted with silence. It can be seen that the mother's abilities and financial conditions are very limited, and the words she expresses seem a bit trivial, but it is obvious that she really hopes that her son will succeed.
At that moment, I was thinking, what if this kid is really promising?
So after I got home, I started to look up the information.
The structure analyzes the image of a protagonist like Qiao Ze.
At the same time, I also suddenly thought that the essence of novels is stories. Why can't I write the vivid faces around me into my novels?
So there was Li Jiangao, Yu Chenggong, Boss Xiao, and Su Lixing...
Su Lixing, in particular, is based on my childhood friend.
You would never have imagined that when a man in his forties talks about his daughter, the tenderness in his eyes can drown people.
Speaking of Su Lixing, we have to talk about the controversial heroine Su Mucheng.
I believe that readers with a basic understanding of novels will feel that it is really difficult to write a protagonist like Qiao Ze.
As a book friend said in a book review, this involves an issue of sense of substitution.
In fact, when I showed this book to a good friend at the beginning, he mentioned this question.
My opening perspective is unacceptable to many readers.
Because mainstream online articles, at least in the first few hundred thousand words, usually unfold the plot from the perspective of the protagonist. Use this to quickly establish a sense of immersion. In fact, all my previous books were designed this way.
This is actually a general cheat formula, reader + cheat = protagonist.
For example, in system flow, the reader's substitution mode is that if I have the system, I can be as invincible as the protagonist.
But this book doesn't work, because I didn't arrange a golden finger for Qiao Ze, and the golden finger formula automatically became invalid. So if I unfolded the plot from Qiao Ze's perspective, the book would become extremely obscure and impossible to read.
Then the article can only be written from a large third-party perspective.
This is actually a very risky way of writing.
Fortunately, the inclusiveness of Qidian still allows me to gain many readers and friends who can see this.
But readers who have seen this, I believe they have accepted Qiao Ze’s character.
At this time, the problem arises. Qiao Ze’s character design can be said to be one of the biggest highlights of the book, so if Qiao Ze’s character design collapses, most of the book will also collapse.
And it just so happens that the love acceptance of a character like Qiao Ze is a very troublesome thing.
So when designing the character of Su Mucheng, I consulted a lot of information, and also discussed the characters and interactions between Qiao Ze and Su Mucheng in detail with a friend who once studied psychology and is now working on a public account.
Qiao Ze's character is one in which rationality takes the absolute initiative.
This kind of personality combined with a super high IQ is theoretically very scary if he turns evil.
Because when faced with a major decision, his amazing rationality will allow him to subconsciously make the decision that is best for him.
In the current writing, Qiao Ze does not have much concept of belonging and emotional sustenance according to the needs of plot development.
Therefore, he actually needs to grow up more than any supporting character in the book, and he needs family, friendship and love to help him subtly establish the concept of family, country and society.
But this kind of persona is extremely passive emotionally.
If he is not proactive enough and takes one more look at the so-called beauty, it will show disrespect for his super high IQ.
If he takes the initiative to pursue a girl, Qiao Ze's character will fall into pieces.
This is also the reason why Su Mucheng is given an extreme personality.
Some book friends suggested, why can’t the heroine be the girl next door? Is it difficult?
It's really difficult.
Also due to perspective issues, in the closed circle of the city, forcibly inserting a girl next door who admires Qiao Ze means that the overall rhythm of the opening story collapses.
As for why Qiao Ze tolerates Su Mucheng's stupidity...
Well, in fact, if you pay attention to the details in this book, you will find that Qiao Ze's inner emotions are actually very sensitive and delicate. He can clearly feel who is really good to him and who just wants to use him.
Qiao Ze felt that his high school classmates were stupid and didn't want to pay attention to them because in that environment, everyone thought he was sick and alienated him. At the same time, he didn't bother to explain anything.
In order to emphasize this, I specially designed a conversation between Qiao Ze and counselor Liu Hao in the previous chapter.
So this is not simply a matter of intellectual exchange, but also the warmth brought by understanding, respect and even admiration.
To put it simply, it is to allow Qiao Ze to have some human emotions and stress responses as he grows up.
Secondly, many book friends feel that the writing pace is too slow, and Qiao Ze has not yet achieved any results.
How to put it this way, while changing the perspective, I tried to arrange a multi-threaded rhythm in this book.
Because once the perspectives are dispersed, multiple branch storylines are needed to promote the development of the main plot.
Each supporting character in the book has its own demands. To transfer these demands to the protagonist in a relatively reasonable manner, the plot layout needs to be more detailed. Get every point in place.
In fact, it is more troublesome to conceive the plot in this way. Relatively speaking, directly promoting the results is my best and favorite way of writing.
There are about 37 papers about this book in my computer. They are converted into successes in a certain order and published directly. Then mixed with some shock flow processing methods, writing does not require too much thinking, and the difficulty of creation plummets. I With instinct, he can write extremely complete plots.
But if that happens, I believe that the book review section will definitely overflow with the argument that the pudding is over and the book is resting on its laurels... which is not interesting.
So let me reiterate again, the story of this book is the growth history of a Chinese genius. Every story line in the book serves this main line.
Okay, I still need to save the manuscript, so I won’t continue to explain other issues.
If you are interested, you can go to the book club to discuss it together.
Next is the update arrangements after launch.
My idea is to guarantee ten updates on the first day of release, with each chapter updated to no less than 4,000 words.
That is to say, about 50,000 words of content were updated on the first day.
Regarding additional updates, let’s talk about the first order.
Because the minimum guarantee is already 50,000 words, the first order starts at 3,000.
4000 plus one extra update, 5000 plus two extra updates, and so on.
At the same time, one update will be added every time the monthly ticket reaches an integer of one thousand this month.
If you give a reward, the leader will add two updates.
(If I reward myself, it doesn’t count)
The fifth update of the Silver Alliance.
As for the Golden Alliance... I basically don’t dare to think about it. If there is one, I won’t say how many updates will be added that day. Before this book is completed, one update will be added every day.
Finally, I would like to thank my editor Wutong, my good friends Hongchen, Erjiang, Thirty-two Transformations, and the teachers who helped me review the manuscript. There are also many teachers and professors who have been pestered by me to ask all kinds of weird questions in the book. I have wasted your time!
I would also like to express my gratitude to the most important book friends who have been reading, giving rewards, and voting for monthly votes and recommendation votes!
Let me tell you a little secret. The author's entire motivation for writing comes from all the book friends who can get pleasure from reading the book.
It is you who have supported the publication of every outstanding work of Qidian, and it is you who have given online novels the power to flourish.
Salute to all respected book friends!
bow!
A bucket of pudding.
