After thinking about it, I am still going to finish this volume on the last day of 2023.
Compared with the 140 chapters in the first volume and the 170 chapters in the second volume, this volume is shorter, with only 108 chapters, about 400,000 words.
Generally speaking, there was originally a plot after Amon became a god, but after writing Amon becoming a god and Amon making a choice, I suddenly felt that there was no need to write it, and it just ended here.
Although this volume is not particularly satisfying to me, there are still several plots that satisfy me. One is the plot related to the Blood Emperor, which rarely appears, but Tudor’s crazy and unique mental state finally Still very satisfying to me. At first, the role of Tuduo was really just intended to pave the way for Xiaohong and Taozi, but in the end Tuzi got a lot of scenes with his own performance.
All I can say is that it was a coincidence. It was indeed a coincidence. Another satisfying plot is the part where Amon becomes a god. I had already thought about this part from the beginning, so I didn’t have too many superfluous thoughts. It’s just that my brain was a little burnt when I was writing it. However, writing a large number of plots at once does give me more inspiration. When writing the next volume, I can follow this writing method.
There are also parts that I am dissatisfied with. Adam is one of them, and it is also the most dissatisfied part. Now that I think about it, if I had written it in a different way, would the plot developing now be beyond my expectations?
But there is really no way to modify it now. If it is modified, the overall plot will basically change. The consequences will be too disastrous. I guess I will be confused after the modification, so it is better not to change it.
Summarized in this volume, it basically establishes Xiao Ke’s concept of becoming the Lord of Mysteries, which is why Xiao Ke has the will to become the Master of Mysteries without the powerful threat of “Amon”; at the same time, “ Similarly, Miss Justice, after losing the "audience" channel, Miss Justice will inevitably not have an "audience" perspective, and her view of things will inevitably become extreme when she can only see corruption.
So later I arranged a coal mining town for Miss Justice, which happened to give Miss Justice a little shock to the medieval people - and the plot of the Honakis Mountains happened to be connected to the plot of Klein, so, This can be regarded as the missing life experience of Miss Justice before Yuan came back.
When writing this volume, I probably also figured out my personal writing habits. The plot arrangement of the next volume will be more reasonable and interesting, rather than ending abruptly like part of the plot in this volume. Or the problem is discovered only after writing.
——Of course, this is related to the fact that the plot of this volume basically broke away from the original work and started to be edited by myself. The more I wrote, the more I found that controlling the rhythm was quite difficult.
I thought about the title of the next volume for a long time, and finally chose the more promising "Star" among "Stars" and "Darkness", which can be regarded as a blessing to myself and the New Year. After this volume, there will probably be one more volume to complete the book, estimated to be 2 million or 2.5 million words.
Then, in view of tomorrow - it seems to be today after 12 o'clock now, Yue Hu has to work overtime today, and also needs to sort out the follow-up plot, I am taking a day off today (the 1st), I am extremely sorry.
I wish you all a happy new year and all the best.
Good night.
