Volume six is over!
I wrote until about four o'clock last night, and finally coded out the last chapter. When I turned around and saw that it was getting dark outside, I gave up my plan of continuing my speeches and went to take a nap.
Before writing the sixth volume, I felt that this volume was difficult to write.
It’s not that it’s “difficult to write” in the literal sense, but it feels like it will make many elderly readers look awkward.
In fact, there is a difference between the original outline and what is written now.
The sixth volume in the original plan was the end of the "Fengning Civil War Chapter", and Wei Changtian entered a larger stage.
Of course, this main goal has definitely been achieved.
But to be honest, due to the reactions of many readers, the development of some characters actually deviated from the outline.
So in my remarks, I will try my best to explain why it was written this way according to each character, and why some characters were changed.
...
The first one is Qin Zhengqiu.
The plot of Qin Zhengqiu has not been changed.
This character was foreshadowed in the fourth and fifth volumes, and completely transformed in the sixth volume.
His relationship with Wei Changtian also changed from "superior and subordinate" to "neither enemy nor friend."
The main question about him may be why he wanted to kill Wei Changtian.
This is actually explained in the article.
Because Wei Changtian once told him in the story of "Meeting an Immortal in a Dream" that "there is only room for one person to become an immortal in this world."
Qin Zhengqiu was only in the second rank before, so he didn't care about this matter.
And when the Moon-Challenging Sword appeared, although he found an opportunity to break through to the first level, he still didn't think about becoming an immortal.
It wasn't until Wei Changtian exposed the true dragon's forehead scales that he completely inspired Qin Zhengqiu's desire to "become an immortal".
A lot of things are like that.
If there is no hope, the National People's Congress will probably not have expectations.
But if there is a glimmer of hope, that person may be able to pursue this glimmer of hope desperately, even sacrificing everything.
...
The second one is Chu Xianping.
Chu Xianping’s plot has not changed.
The original plan was for his identity in this volume to have a breakthrough.
He is no longer just Wei Changtian's military advisor, but is slowly changing to be completely independent.
If you are looking for a reference...
There is a high probability that it is Chu Xuan from "Infinite Horror" or Zhuge Liang.
...
The third one is Ning Yongnian.
The plot of Ning Yongnian has been changed.
And it’s a big change.
According to the outline, he should die in the next volume, or the one after that, and the cause of his death was also that he voluntarily sacrificed himself to fight the enemy.
In fact, I originally wanted to use such a big plot to completely portray the image of Ning Yongnian as a traitor and make the complexity of this important character more three-dimensional.
At the same time, you can also leave a branch line for the next grand battle.
However, when I wrote about Ling Boting's negotiations, maybe it was because I read the comments, or maybe because the whole volume lacked a climax plot, so I let him die temporarily.
Of course, Wei Changtian wanted to kill him wholeheartedly, and this would not change.
Now that I think about it, it’s actually quite good to write it this way. After all, Ning Yongnian has been hanging around for so long without dying, and I feel a little delayed.
Due to the limitation of length, the sublimation part of his character in the end was not done particularly well, which is a bit regretful.
...
The fourth one is Yangliu Poetry.
There’s not much to say about this. The increased role of Yang Liushi in Volume 6 is to pave the way for her plot in the future.
I said before that each character has a complete story line, and Comrade Xiao Yang is the main focus next.
...
The fifth one is Xu Suisui.
About the character Xu Suisui...
To be honest, I didn't expect her to be so annoying before writing.
In fact, I spent a lot of space in the fifth volume writing about her daily interactions with Wei Changtian. I originally wanted to give her some favorability.
But since her series of "Riddler" operations, her popularity has dropped rapidly, and all the comments are scolding her.
I even posted a single chapter to explain...
First of all, Xu Suisui’s plot has not been changed and cannot be changed.
She has a great influence on the subsequent plot. If it is changed, the outline will most likely have to be redone.
Secondly, I now understand why everyone hates Xu Suisui so much.
The key point may not be this "character", but that I made a mistake in writing technique, or in plot design.
For online articles, especially cool articles, the core of all "good points" is "information gap".
To put it bluntly, there is a gap in the information held by the protagonist and the supporting characters.
I'm already pretty awesome, but you don't know that.
I can recite ancient poems from my past life, but you think I am illiterate.
I am a hidden rich second generation, but my girlfriend thinks I am poor.
I am actually the boss behind the company, but my boss only treats me as an ordinary social creature...
It is because of these information gaps that readers want to see the moment when the protagonist uses these information gaps to show off.
As the saying goes, it’s called “a sense of anticipation.”
Wei Changtian's previous information gap was full...until Xu Suisui appeared.
As soon as this figure appeared, Wei Changtian became the weaker party on both sides of the information gap.
Xu Suisui knew what he was going to do, and even knew his character and thoughts.
This will undoubtedly make people very unhappy.
After all, most people must take on the role of the protagonist.
After understanding this, I became more determined not to change the outline.
Because what Wei Changtian did in the game with Xu Suisui was to break the information gap and make the situation develop in a completely uncontrollable direction.
And by now, Xu Suisui's information advantage has basically disappeared.
In other words, in future plots, she is actually an important character who also has system cheats and has similar but not exactly the same goals as Wei Changtian.
...
The sixth one is Li Wutong.
I actually changed the plot of Li Wutong a little bit.
She is different from Xu Suisui. When I wrote about her leaving Fengyuan, I knew that she would be very unpleasant in the future.
But I still want to say a few words for her.
In fact, she is not stupid.
All her motivations are for "Da Feng", the name of Da Feng.
Preserving Dafeng is more important than Wei Changtian.
That's why she made a series of seemingly stupid decisions.
how to say......
From God's perspective, whether it is Wei Changtian, Li Qi, or even anyone else, they can see the situation between Fengning and Fengning better than she does.
But this actually means that in the minds of others, the country "Dafeng" is not the most important.
Needless to say, Wei Changtian didn't actually care much about Dafeng's subjugation.
What Li Qi really values is not the nominal "great service", but the dignity of the country.
Li Wutong was the only one who wanted to do his best to prevent Dafeng from subjugating the country.
So she gave up almost everything she could.
I have read all the comments from all readers.
Some people think she is hopeless, some think she is a useless waste, some think she is extremely stupid, and some think she should be written to death.
In fact, I really thought about writing her to death.
But in the end I thought about it.
I even changed her ending to be better than originally planned.
It refers to the fact that Wei Changtian finally allowed Li Qi to restore Dafeng in Jianchang Mansion.
Although there was only one state, Dafeng did not lose his country in name after all, and it was considered the last thing he did for Li Wutong.
As for Li Wutong's ambition of "Every time he kills someone, I will save someone", it actually represents Li Wutong's transformation after experiencing so many things.
In short, Li Wutong's plot ends here.
Even if it appears again later, it should be the finale.
...
The above is the explanation of several important characters in Volume 6.
Long-form online articles actually have a common problem.
In order to advance the plot, new characters must continue to appear.
But in order to take care of the readers' emotions, positive characters rarely leave the scene.
This leads to more and more characters being written, and in the end most of them are ignored, and even the author almost forgets that there is such a person by the end of the writing.
I don’t really like this way of writing, but it’s impossible for everyone to give it too much space.
Just like a book friend said -
"Wei Changtian's wife said a word, and a chapter passed."
In this case, someone must have to leave.
Rather than slowly fading away until it is forgotten by me and the readers, I prefer to give everyone an ending.
Youjia's ending is sad.
Li Wutong's ending is happy.
Another example is the previous important roles such as Xiao Feng, Lao Zhangtou, and Ning Yongnian, as well as supporting roles such as Wu Ding and Bai Youheng, and even extremely small roles such as Wang Qian and Yunlian.
Everyone has played an important role in a certain paragraph or plot, and then at some point in the future, it will come to an end in an "irregular" and reasonable way.
I think it’s pretty good, and I will still write like this in the future.
alright.
After so many words, it turned out to be 3,000 words.
So the purpose of this speech can finally be revealed!
It is clear! I want to take a day off!
Updates will resume tomorrow!
Finally, as usual, I wish everyone that all your wishes will come true and good health! !
