Write a summary, analyze the plot of the second volume, and look forward to the future.
(bow)
Compared with the first volume, the number of words has been controlled. The first volume has 400,000 words, and the second volume has 270,000 words. The main place where the protagonist group activities is Mondstadt. During the period, they went to Longji Snow Mountain, and other places. There was no wandering around the place.
In the author's imagination, the second volume is structurally divided into two parts. The first half is the real world. The forest first arrives in Mondstadt - Dragon's Back Snow Mountain - and returns to Mondstadt.
The chapter [Millennium Time] is the dividing point, and then enters the second half of the second volume.
Starting from the first volume, the author has written without details, only the general plot direction.
Readers who have read both volumes can more or less feel that each volume is a big story, similar to a unit drama. There is a contradiction at the beginning, and this contradiction will be resolved in the end. The process is to look for clues.
The inspiration for the first volume comes from a picture in the author's mind:
Lin Ye held the Dragon Abyss Crack in his hand, stood on the top of Wuwang Slope, and shot a majestic arrow at the resurrected evil chi that was occupying the sky, and then the dragon fell to the continent.
So the plot at the beginning of the first volume serves this picture.
The second volume is also about some pictures in the author's mind. This time there are more, and they are basically about the criticized old Mondstadt. It tells some stories about holy relics and weapons, and tells about unpopular figures in history. .
To be honest, the author suspected that his writing direction was wrong. In the later stages of the Old Mondstadt plot, I was compressing the plot because the data feedback was very bad.
Let's put it this way, the number of back-orders for the first few chapters of the second volume was less than half of what it was the week before the first volume was released. And then when it comes to the Old Mondstadt episode, guess what?
It is roughly one-sixth of the volume of the first few chapters of the second volume.
To be fair, if you put yourself in your shoes, how is your mentality?
One sixth.
(covering face and crying)
I don't dare to read the daily subscriptions and follow-ups, which greatly affects the author's writing status. I am scared, self-denial, and writing is boring?
As mentioned in the parentheses of the introduction, this book is mainly about creating hidden plots. Compared with the one or two world missions in the first volume, the second volume is the original intention of the author.
Old Mondstadt thousands of years ago, the stories behind the sacred relics we usually play with.
A band that wanders the earth.
Gladiator's final act.
Rituals of the clan.
A sinking heart.
And the weapons we pulled out.
Dark alley series.
Flute Sword, Bell Sword, Jue Xian, Wandering Movement, Duel Gun, Clan Shotgun, etc.
There are also tasks that we completed but were confused.
[Ancient Investigation Diary], [The Return of Ni Zi] and so on.
Eberhardt and Parsifal are the core of the old Mondstadt period. You can go to Miyou.com and search for the boss of "Kazami Kazami". He has a detailed summary.
There probably weren’t many players who knew about the Dark Alley series. I was excited at first and thought it was a big deal. Then I realized that not many people knew about it, and my writing was not good, which gave readers a poor sense of immersion and made them confused. inner.
This is not thoughtful enough on my part.
The original "picture" of the second volume was not to tell about Old Mondstadt. By then, characters who are more familiar to everyone, such as Rosalia, Joelle, Amber, etc. would have more scenes, so the follow-up would not be so miserable.
But I like the stories that happened in Old Mondstadt, the righteous thieves in the dark alley, the gladiators, the traitors of the west wind, the witch lady, the sword band... In my eyes, their stories are like the shining stars of mankind.
This is why the name of the second volume is called "The Shining Time", and the Wings of Wind obtained by Lin Ye are also named after this.
The first destiny star is named [War Madness], which means courage without fear of the devil. Courage is the first step to challenge.
The name of the second destiny star is [Gaoge], which means freedom and resistance. Be aware of oppression and have the courage to resist. You should sing for freedom at any time.
When designing the outline of the second volume, the author had this picture in his mind:
At the Badminton Festival, the Knights crusade against the dragon outside the city, and the Sword Band assassinates nobles inside the city. It is full of epic and tragic events.
The old gladiator and the young lion cub Vanessa fight in the arena.
The Rebellious Son of the West Wind staged a scene where no one survived in Longji Snow Mountain. After returning home, in the palace at dusk, he "launched a gorgeous rebellion against my father" and "Frostmourne Arthas sent his father away" and other scenes of sudden killing of blood relatives.
There is also Lin Ye who resists the system and would rather be trapped in the world of memory leylines than stick to his own principles.
etc.
There are many more.
But the follow-up subscription made the author feel a little sad. In addition, I don’t have the habit of writing detailed outlines. The outline of a volume is composed of several events, probably something happened here, something happened there, these are all It’s the main thread, and when I wrote it, I wanted to connect it in series.
This resulted in the foreshadowing and foreshadowing not being done properly, the overall framework not being clear enough, and the emotions failing to arouse when it was burning.
The author has a profound understanding, yes.
In Old Mondstadt, the plot is different from the original one. At least the little boy, Susan, and the sword band are all dead.
Lin Ye awakened at the end. I was too late writing it earlier. In addition, the follow-up order during that period had a great impact on me, so I even asked for leave.
After asking for leave, he kept procrastinating and had to send it, so the pace of the plot accelerated, and the people who died in fate were also saved by Lin Ye.
Do you know what the author is afraid of?
That's what I think is good, but the follow-up is bad.
This really makes me doubt that something is wrong with the world, and whether I am suitable to write. Really, I am afraid that I will please myself and write stories that make people laugh.
Regarding the ending of Miss Witch, when Lin Ye and Sorolla parted ways, the author mentioned later that Miss Witch still had a role to play. Well, wasn’t it in the last chapter? I didn’t forget it.
The chapter "The Shining Time" was originally the climax of the plot, but I was very unsatisfied with the writing. The reason was that the plot was revised, which made me unable to get up emotionally when I was writing. The meeting between Lin Ye and Eberhardt was actually not good enough. A little more exciting.
Anyway, I have finished writing the second volume.
About the next story, volume three.
Originally, it was the Inazuma chapter. Lin Ye had already figured out how to get to Inazuma. It was about Lin Ye having a decisive battle with Eberhardt, entering the turbulence, and arriving at a certain place in Inazuma through the earth's veins.
In this way, I was far away from the familiar characters. I was afraid that I would miss it, so Lin Ye stayed in Mondstadt.
For stories about hidden plots and unpopular characters, the data response told me that I couldn’t engage in this. I comforted myself by saying that it was an unpopular story. In the final analysis, it was still poorly written.
When I thought about the plot later, I found that I could have written it better, that it should have been written like this, etc. But once I wrote it and uploaded it, everyone has read it, so what’s the point of revising it.
The results of this book were pretty good at the beginning, but as of now, it has become so miserable. As expected of a newcomer, I am laughing at myself.
In the third volume, the focus is on daily life, Mondstadt and Liyue. I thought about how to make daily life interesting and short so that everyone can follow it without getting tired. Thought of a few ideas.
Interesting, this is what I want to achieve. Basically, I want everyone to have a very comfortable and relaxing reading experience.
As for hidden plots like Old Mondstadt, I won’t touch them until I’m killed. Should I write the main plot of the game so that everyone can feel more involved?
Regarding the word count of the finished book, after all, it is the first one, at least one million words. You can trust readers on this, as I have guaranteed in the previous chapters.
Tell me what you think after writing the second volume.
very tired.
Want to give up.
I feel like my grades are hopeless.
Let’s see how the third volume goes.
