Before I knew it, the book had already reached 1.6 million words. To be honest, it was very painful when I was writing it, but when I looked back, I felt that it went by so fast and it was like a blur.
I rarely publish single chapters. This time, I will explain some issues and plan for the completion of the book.
First of all, there is the problem of typos... This is really not correct. In fact, I have commented and replied several times, but some readers may not have noticed.
The permissions of many chapters are locked and cannot be modified. I have basically changed the ones I have permission to modify. I haven’t figured out what the reason for locking this chapter is related to. You might say it has something to do with time. Some chapters can’t be modified after I publish them.
I personally estimate that it may have something to do with sensitive words and publishing time. I haven’t asked the editor about the specifics, so I don’t really know.
There are also chapter names. This is something that is locked directly after release and cannot be changed... It is also very helpless. It is a new arrival and there are many things that are really opaque. I am also relatively lonely and have no friends. I just try to figure it out on my own. In fact, After taking many detours, this book has caused a lot of ridiculous problems since it was published.
Then let’s talk about the subsequent plot...
First of all, make sure that there will be no such thing as cultivating immortals or reviving spiritual energy in this book. You will just climb the science and technology tree as usual and open up new territory and expand your territory and policy reforms.
In fact, according to my outline plan, the subsequent plot should be between 500,000 and 800,000.
Having said that, the results of this book are not bad. If I just lay down and waste money, I could still have a few million words.
But to be honest, as of now, there is not much to write about the plot. Someone may ask, isn’t the protagonist still young, and will he ascend to the throne or something like that later...
Write about these things. It doesn’t mean that you can’t write. For the author, there is nothing that cannot be written. It’s about whether you are willing to write and whether you can write well.
To be honest, the one with whom I have the most emotional attachment to this book is the First Emperor.
I don’t really want to write a story about a declining hero who dies in his twilight years. I know how to write it, but I can’t bear to write it, let alone write it in a long form.
So the conclusion of the main plot, I hope, is family-friendly.
In fact, when the plot has progressed to this point, almost all the land that can be conquered has been conquered, and there are no named opponents left.
Therefore, the subsequent plot can actually be understood as the redemption of the First Emperor in the first half of his life, and the story of Zhao Si gradually becoming the new First Emperor.
Therefore, changes will be written about family affection, sustenance, and hope, which are also very important points and will occupy a lot of space.
I set the tone long ago and I won't change it.
What I'm actually doing now is finishing...
Let the matter be spread out, all the schools of thought will appear on stage, and Great Qin will move towards a completely new situation.
As for the closed loop, I plan to put it in the extra chapter...
In the final analysis, it is because of my obsession with family fun.
While I am an author, I am also a reader. I basically can’t write the plots I don’t want to see, even if I can write...
What I have said so much is just to report the follow-up plot to the gentlemen. In fact, the gentlemen who have followed here should all know the direction of the subsequent plot. I basically don’t hide it very much, and many places have been made clear.
The reason why I write so much is simply to say something to the gentlemen and reassure them.
March will not do anything to make money. Of course, some people may think that March is just making money now, but I have already planned the ending, the approximate number of words, and the prepared extras are also within the plan.
The overall completion of the book means that it will have 500,000 words in the future. It is basically certain that I will rarely have problems with the length of the plot, and even if there is a fluctuation, it will not be too big.
Of course, there may be another 50,000 to 60,000 words in the extra chapter, and this is counted separately.
Because there are a lot of interesting things that can be included in the extras.
For example, archaeological excavations thousands of years later? For example, the First Emperor’s small handbag? For example, Zhao Si’s bad taste before his death? The future of Da Qin? Evaluation of later history books?
Of course, in addition to these interesting little stories, the knife will also be included in the extra story.
The departure of the First Emperor, the old king's twilight years... the awkward father-son relationship between Fusu and the First Emperor was formed, and the First Emperor continued to cultivate into a true king under the betrayal of those closest to him.
Still the same sentence, the main text, will not draw a sword...
Extra, you guys can just take a look at it, hahahahahaha...
In fact, every time I write a chapter, my reluctance becomes heavier. As readers, you don’t have to look at it, but as an author, I will still think about it even if I don’t write.
In fact, this book is a family fun, but behind the family fun is a heavy history.
The First Emperor did not have any good saints or grandsons, nor did he have any childish slaves that he liked...
There are always many people around him, but he is always alone.
I had already thought about it a lot when I wrote this character, but I focused on emotions rather than the brilliance and strategy of the First Emperor.
This is my little cleverness and my self-knowledge.
I don’t want to judge the merits and demerits of the First Emperor. I don’t have the qualifications, and I also don’t have the ability to write about the First Emperor who was born as a king because of his great talent and strategy.
So, I can only find another way...
Because from the beginning to the end, when I read the information about the Emperor Shihuang, what I regretted and shocked me was his life.
Abandoned by Zhao for father and son
Because of mother and son, Zhao Ji regarded her as an enemy.
Although he is an older brother, he is regarded as his mortal enemy by his younger brother.
He was a close friend but was hated to death...
I can't write about his talents and strategies. I can only write about his life and his character...
The First Emperor was not a perfect man, and he had his rights and wrongs, but his life experience was not false. Everything can be traced back to the source, and it is clearly there...
And I am just imagining that these life experiences led him to become the First Emperor.
In the final analysis, I still don’t have enough internal strength, my level is not good enough, and after all, I can’t write comprehensively.
As for this book? Rather than saying that the protagonist is Zhao Si, it is better to say that he is the First Emperor. The halo of raw jade is Zhao Si’s golden finger. Isn’t Zhao Si the golden finger of the First Emperor?
In the final analysis, it’s just my own will that can’t be settled...
From this perspective, I believe readers can also guess the changes in the relationship between Xiao Zhinu, Zhao Si, and even Fusu and the First Emperor.
In essence, what was rewritten was the regret that belonged to the First Emperor himself.
Having said so much, I still want to thank the readers for accompanying me all the way.
When I first started writing, I didn’t really think that much about it, but as I wrote more and more, I inevitably poured my emotions into it. Fortunately, March is self-aware and doesn’t suffer from literary youth syndrome. At the same time, March itself only likes family fun.
It's essentially a novel, and the picture is about perfection.
Why make yourself uncomfortable?
Mountains and rivers meet, and meeting is fate. As I write this, the follow-up is already a foregone conclusion.
By the way, today is February 14th, Valentine’s Day. My readers are so handsome. You have already gone to Valentine’s Day with your partner, right?
