Let’s briefly talk about the original conception and thoughts of this book.
Because of the failure of the prince - by the way, the prince is a work that completely collapsed due to his own laziness. If interested students can see the last part of the plot of the prince, they will know. To put it simply, it is my attempt to put the past into perspective. The novel he had written was used as a copy to be incorporated into the prince, but due to his condition at the time, he used a lot of the original novel manuscript. The result was that the plot collapsed, to the point where it was completely impossible to save, and with it... The state of immortality during double updates at that time was getting worse and worse.
Let me briefly mention here, after finishing this book, I will give the ending of Immortality, and for the prince.
The book itself is the end of The Prince.
Because the storyline of the protagonists in the world view is actually the same, it’s just that the setting of the Linglong Pearl of the Ten Thousand Realms in The Prince has been removed.
Then return to the book.
My original name for this book was The Unknown Person, but because of the editor’s opinion, I changed it to the current name. The person behind the scenes who is more popular is actually me. In fact, the name itself is not important. I have already It's past this age.
The most important thing is that the story is good.
At the beginning of the preparation of the first volume, there were actually only two plots, namely Ye Ye's three trials and the assassination that Su Ziye would face because the Emperor of Ste was about to die. The original idea was that the interval between each three trials was Insert an assassination, and then gradually increase the level of the assassination, and finally let Xingxi appear. The corresponding three characters that appear in the article, Bei Zhou, Mo Yun, and Xingxi, represent this gradient improvement, and correspondingly, Xie Yan Luo, Xiye, and Liu Ru correspond to these three levels of victims.
These initial plot settings also changed as the plot of the novel progressed. For example, the three assassinations were reduced to two, Bei Zhou was directly solved by Mo Yun to advance the plot, and the third audition of the three trials, Hua Shuiyue, also It was directly deleted to almost non-existence, because after the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and then describing the mirror, flowers, water and moon, the sense of repetition would be very abrupt.
As for the beginning of the novel, I originally wanted to start with the third test, that is, let Carotes directly auction the test questions. Then Su Ziye sent Liu Ru to take the test questions. Everyone was shocked and started the third test. .
As for Su Ziye's partner, I originally wanted to use senior Zhou Yi, but later I wanted to change it to someone like Xie Yanluo, because compared to Su Ziye, a type who likes behind-the-scenes planning and rarely does things himself, there is someone in front of the stage to help. He will seem more comfortable doing things. Of course, Liu Ru is the most suitable role. In fact, in the original setting, Liu Ru was a boy, and he was a boy brought directly from the St. Palace by Su Ziye. It can be regarded as his childhood. Cultivated confidant.
However, when I wrote the beginning, I considered that the male-male combination was not very good, so in the end Liu Ru was changed to a female, and the starting story also became a slave who was sold and rescued by the male protagonist.
The biggest advantage of this setting is that Liu Ru can directly enter the story as a blank sheet of paper, and describe the power system in the novel through the depiction of her power growth. After all, at this time, Su Ziye's body is in the Cave Mystic Realm. The whole state is in the heavenly realm, and ordinary cultivation is meaningless to him.
Not only is it meaningless, he was able to single-handedly allow Liu Ru to receive an adventure treatment comparable to that of a heroine, which in itself is an affirmation of Su Ziye's strength and resources.
The reason why the starting story is so long, even six chapters, is actually just because of one picture.
It was what Su Ziye would do if he knew about Liu Ru's experience. I thought about it for a moment, and then the picture appeared in my mind in an instant.
Su Ziye will also nail those soldiers there with wooden stakes.
This scene has many meanings. The most typical meaning is that Su Ziye is not a traditional protagonist.
He is not afraid of using violence to fight violence, and even said that he often uses very bad means to achieve his goals, but in essence, this guy is a good person.
The reason why I wanted to write this story was because of a sentence I wrote a long time ago, "Who said good people won't kill each other?"
Of course, Su Ziye is the male protagonist of this novel, and the story of the unknown person will not be too long. It will probably only cover about five years in the novel, because he himself is the prequel of Xia Dian, and by the end, it is almost It’s also time for Su Ziye’s character arc to come to fruition.
Next, let’s talk about the structure of the entire story in the first volume.
The first structure is that Su Ziye rescued Liu Ru, helped Liu Ru get revenge, explained his purpose, and began to train Liu Ru to become his shadow.
The second structure is that the two go to Ye Ye Academy, get to know His Highness the Third, and obtain the questions for the third test through auction and make them public. At the same time, Su Ziye directly obtains the quota through the deal with Carotes, so that Liu Ru can participate in the third test alone. , and at the same time, targeted assassinations began.
The third structure is the final climax structure. As I said at the beginning, the three tests are stacked with the assassination, and the final ending is done by alternating between relatively gentle examinations and tense assassinations, and at the same time, Liu Ru's upgrade is used to make the statement. The power structure ends with Xingxi appearing and the two meeting and fighting.
The final ending is what has been planned before the beginning. The old emperor is dead, the new emperor ascends the throne, and Su Ziye's parents and brothers are killed. All his future actions must bear the natural driving force of revenge. Of course, he may not He didn't care that much, but it was something he had to do.
In fact, from the perspective of the structure of the novel, this first volume is relatively complete, but there are still many shortcomings in the writing process. Among them are the ups and downs of one's own status, resulting in some details not being polished, and some plots are still adopted. A lot of dialogue is required to promote it, but overall the degree of completion is not high.
But as far as I'm concerned, I'm still happy with it.
Because this is indeed a true reflection of my current level.
I hope I can maintain this level until I finish writing this story.
Let me say it again, telling a story and making readers happy are not contradictory in themselves, but if the framework of the story has been formulated and then work within this framework, it depends very much on the author's ability.
I originally thought Su Ziye's story was a cool article, but after I wrote it, I discovered that although he had an unfavorable start, his parents died when he was fourteen, all his brothers died, and he was hunted down all the way. Although in some way In a sense, it is indeed the treatment of the protagonist, but the protagonist of the abusive novel does not deserve to be a human being.
This also makes the first volume itself full of Riddler flavor and seems rather depressing.
You see, it’s really hard to keep readers happy in this environment.
But these settings are very important basic settings. If you want to tell this story, there is no way to change it. Of course, if you really want to say it, there is indeed a way to change it. Just like Liu Ru, a man turned into a girl. You can change anything.
But I still want to tell this story, because it is actually quite interesting, and the protagonist Su Ziye also has his own unique charm.
Including plots that could only be written through him.
For example, the plot that will be shown in the second volume.
Compared with the obscurity and heaviness of the first volume, the campus life in the second volume will appear much more relaxed and enjoyable.
And this is a story that almost only Su Ziye can show.
Finally, writing is actually something that makes me happy, but it is not easy to live my life through writing.
I still hope to make this my lifelong career, which requires me to put in more professional attitude and efforts, and to improve my storytelling abilities step by step.
I hope this continues.
So that more and more people like the stories I tell.
There is no doubt that relatively few people have read this book, and this is undoubtedly my own reason.
But I will still finish writing this story and tell myself that this is the best story I can write at my current level.
Xia Dian, Punk, Tomorrow, Assassin, and even Prince Tianwei and Immortality are all the best stories I can write at my current level, but some have succeeded and some have failed.
Don't boast about your successes and don't hide your failures.
Every book is its own child. Just raise your own children well, and then dress them up to meet others.
Okay, that’s it for today.
I will continue to write the story of the second volume.
What I need to tell myself now is not that I have to finish writing this story.
But don’t stop updating.
Not only should updates not be discontinued, but the number of daily updates must also be gradually increased.
It's not an easy thing, but it's something I can do.
above.
Goodnight everybody.
