Today 101 turned around and re-read the last book "Tongtian Divine Formula", this book is an internal signature, experienced 3 pants push and 1 strong recommendation, the collection reached up to 1485, and even the editor once had the intention of sending this book to the strong push, but unfortunately the collection was very fierce after the score was strong, at that time 101 was anxious enough, looking for someone to see everywhere, the overall evaluation is flat, the plot is scattered, the climax is not much, the climax is not happy.

But these evaluations are really not very useful for 101, because as an author, what you need most is for others to tell you which part of the plot, or even which line of words, which word has a problem, why does it feel bad? We need to point out the problem accurately in order to make targeted improvements.

And sometimes, we are immersed in the perspective of the author's conception, and we can't listen to other people's comments at all, which can also lead to the inability to face up to our own mistakes.

After 4 months of reading, analyzing, and practicing writing, today's 101 picked up the book created in September last year and read it carefully, and actually saw many problems that he didn't see at the time, and he lost patience when he read some plots, and began to skip chapters.

Why? Why did I switch to the reader's perspective at this moment and be able to see a lot of problems, but at that time I was so obsessed with the author's perspective that I didn't realize a lot of problems?

Of course, this has improved the level of appreciation, but it is not so simple, because even if you are a master, there will be problems in what you write that you are not aware of, so you need to let others try it out, and you need to constantly revise it.

Today I finally understood the key, which is-

Author Mentality V.S. Reader Mentality

Author's mentality: My settings are very important, if I don't explain it clearly, it will affect the reader's reading.

Reader's mentality: I don't care about the setting, I care about whether the story is good or not, don't bother me with a bunch of settings.

Solution: Take the advancement of the story as the supreme criterion, and set the explanation must be without traces, so as not to interfere with the reading.

Author's mentality: This plot is very important for the growth of the protagonist, and it is necessary to write more to reflect the hard work of the characters.

Reader's mentality: Although I care about this growth plot, but you write too much, I am more concerned about how to solve the suspense protagonist you set up earlier?

Solution: Always review the elements that create expectations in front of you, and all the plots that can arouse the reader's mentality must be tightly advanced around it, in other words, do not write plots that are irrelevant or related to the expectations but cannot be described too much.

Author's mentality: This supporting role is very important, and it must be portrayed well.

Reader's mentality: I don't care much about this supporting character, because I can't see how much he or she has to do with what the protagonist is currently doing, which distracts me from reading.

Solution: Go back to the protagonist and ask yourself if there is this person in the expectation point set earlier, does the appearance of this person make the plot more attractive, or does it become loose and boring?

Author's mentality: This section of the battle is just a transition, and the focus is on leading to a certain plot.

Reader's mentality: Please, how long has it been since you had an orgasm?

Solution: Review the overall plot more often to see if there has been no conflict for too long, and you need to make some intense plots to arouse the interest of readers?

Author's mentality: My mind is full of exciting plots, I have to hurry up and talk about it.

Reader's mentality: Please! Your text is dry and ungraphic! Even if the content you conceive is interesting, but we readers can't see it, we still need you to give enough descriptions of the situation to be able to substitute for that environment.

Solution: Immerse yourself in the characters and the story, and look back from time to time to see if what you conceive has been built with enough detail?

……

There are many more examples, so I won't mention them one by one, taking "Tongtian Divine Formula" as an example, this time I will look at the problems found from the reader's perspective as follows:

1. The description of the scenery and atmosphere is too weak, and some scenes are not picture-worthy enough.

2. The master is too verbose when he passes on the art, and basically there are 2 chapters that are all nonsense, and readers are tired of reading it.

3. The cultivation plot is too inkblot, at least two-thirds of it is redundant, and the reader was concerned about what was so peculiar about taking the golden finger at that time, and it took a long time to come out.

4. There are too few plots of pretending to be forced after going out of the mountain, and even if there is, it is not cool enough.

On the other hand, as an author, I had the following thoughts when I first created it:

1. I have been focusing on the progress of the story, ignoring the description of the scenery and atmosphere, forgetting that a real story world needs these details to support.

2. Master's art is to throw away the setting, and I think these things are very important, and I can't go on without telling the story clearly.

3. I think that the growth of the protagonist needs these hard practices, which is in line with the growth experience, and I forget that a person's story does not need to be written in such detail as eating, drinking, and sleeping.

4. Always dilute the pretending plot with some useless plots, because you feel that these things are important, and you don't know what the reader wants to see?

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

To sum up, I will review the book, mark everything that I think is problematic, and then reframe a tight and engaging plot, which will definitely help me improve. Otherwise, it will be difficult to find out your own problems by just reading other people's books and reviewing your own books from time to time.

Also, when I was thinking about a new book again, I asked myself every time I designed a plot, what is the main point of expectation for the reader?

For example, in this book, there are 2 expectations at the beginning:

1. How does the protagonist complete the mission and reach Longhu Mountain safely under the pursuit of the Heavenly Demons?

2. What is so strange about Goldfinger and how does the protagonist use it to grow stronger?

Therefore, the follow-up plot should be arranged closely around these 2 points so that the plot is not loose and the story is good-looking.

For example, compressing the cultivation plot, arranging the Heavenly Demon to chase and kill as soon as possible, chasing and killing all the way and escaping, always creating a tense atmosphere, making people worry about the protagonist's heart.

And the characteristics of the golden finger should be developed in time, and the protagonist should use it to pretend to be forced, and he should improve his strength and strength.

It can be seen that if you can jump to the reader's perspective from time to time, figure out what the reader wants to see, and then write according to what the reader wants, you will definitely succeed!

Of course, you also need enough pen power and writing skills to write the plot that the reader wants to brilliantly, so that people have a hearty and unstoppable feeling, which is a skill that needs to be honed for a long time.
