"Judging by the situation in the past few days since I flew to the Intermediate Universe. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info First, the mid-level universe is obviously very different from the low-level universe. There is no doubt about it. Due to the suppression of the cosmic level, the original power of us, the new 'Ascendants', can hardly be reflected. The most obvious situation is that spiritual power cannot be used, and the pure physical quality is not even comparable to that of an ordinary person in the intermediate universe. ”

"What kind of existence is Longkong Comprehensive College? Judging from the existing situation, it is a subordinate organization of the Plane Grandfather Guild, and is directly responsible for cultivating the 'novice' grandfathers who have flown from the Nether. Alternatively, it has another mission, which is to mentor enterprising locals in the vicinity of the college. But the main task is to serve newcomers like me. ”

"After listening to lectures for several days, I noticed a peculiar situation. In the mouths of lecturers, the traditional professional term 'grandfather' is being replaced by the new title of 'author', consciously or unconsciously. Why? The terms 'plane' and 'plane will' are replaced by heterogeneous titles such as 'work' and 'reader', respectively. From this, it can be seen that there must be something greasy in the middle. ”

Tang Zhu stopped his pen, took a breath, glanced at the dormitory with closed doors and windows, and continued to list his doubts on the paper.

"Then a couple of conjectures can be proposed. Why should the title of 'old man' be replaced, which has lasted for tens of thousands of years? Obviously not just because someone's interests change, or because they want to serve their leader. Is it because the guild has discovered something, for example, another organization in another time and space that is similar to the Plane Grandpa's Guild? Or ......"

Recalling the moment when he met the self-proclaimed 'online writer' more than forty years ago, Tang Zhu was a little panicked.

"Or the creation of this so-called Plane Old Grandfather Guild, behind it, someone is playing ghosts!"

The President's Office of Yongkong Comprehensive College.

Principal Chen Qiqu was on the phone with someone.

"President Tang, don't worry, our college will definitely listen to your advice. But I have a doubt...... Oh, then I'll get straight to the point. Did you really discover the Origin World? Listening to the gossip, there is an advance party who has gone through many obstacles and actually returned alive, and also brought back news about 'reality'? ”

"Ahem, it's not because of anything, I'm just curious...... Oh, good, good! I know! You can rest assured, our academy has recruited 20,000 new people, accounting for more than half of the total, and they are all leaders from various low-level universes! ”

"Just look at it! In terms of strength, in terms of creativity, the old man of the Nether, oh no, hehe, it's the 'author', isn't this a new word that has been circulating in the guild's upper echelons recently...... Our newcomer and grandfather, if he is put into the origin world, he will definitely be able to write a good 'plane'! ”

"I know, what is the situation in the origin world, we still don't know, but didn't the precursor already say a piece of news, although our power cannot be exerted in the origin world, but we have accidentally found out that the formation of our pan-universe is related to a thing called 'net text' in the origin world......"

"What's so hard about 'online articles'? Isn't it just talking! can serve the guild, I Chen Qiqu deserves to die! Now, I have secretly instructed the instructors to begin to teach the first batch of new 'authors', if we can exert influence on the origin world through the online texts created by our guild group itself, and then feed back to reality-our reality, then with this power, what main god space, what plane protagonist federation, what plane will federation, are all just flies and dogs, and they are completely vulnerable! ”

Longkong University, special lecture of the Department of Rebirth.

There was no rest for several days, but Tang Zhu didn't dare to close his eyes. Supporting his blood-red eyes, Tang Zhu looked at the majestic professor in the distance.

Faster, more! Be more detailed! Tang Zhu roared in his heart.

“…… Many new authors are stuck in the selection of topics, and some have blank heads and have no idea what topics to choose; Some people feel that there are countless themes, and they also don't know which one to choose. In fact, there are several fixed routines for topic selection, and the subject matter and even the outline can be easily deduced step by step. ”

"All YY novels, in the final analysis, can be summed up in one word, that is, a "strong" word. No matter what, no matter which aspect, only when it is strong, will readers like to read it. This can be called the first law of YY novels, and its status can be said to be equivalent to the law of conservation of energy, that is, the status of the first law of thermodynamics in physics. ”

The so-called YY novel expansion sentence starts from the word "strong". ”

"Who's stronger? Of course, it has to be the main character. The protagonist himself is not strong, but his father is Li Gang, and this model is also feasible, but this can be attributed to the fact that the protagonist is strong, so in the final analysis, the protagonist is strong, and it is always right. ”

Now, the sentence is expanded to "the protagonist is strong". ”

"For YY novels, the protagonist's general strength is not good, and the same is not good for the two or three, if the protagonist is only a little stronger among ordinary people, then obviously not many people will be interested, therefore, he must be very strong, very strong, particularly strong, and the first strong."

Therefore, the sentence is expanded to "the protagonist is super strong". ”

The above is a fixed model, and the following expansion needs to be chosen by the author. That is, where is the protagonist strong? ”

"The strength of the protagonist can be reflected in many different directions, such as the simplest and most common, that is, the protagonist's strength is strong, and in addition to force, the protagonist can also be strong in knowledge, wealth, status, power, and so on."

"Here, different choices will determine the general type of subject matter of the work, it should be said that there is no good or bad choice, it depends on the author's own style characteristics and writing strengths, try to develop his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and choose the most suitable subject for himself."

For example, if the author is engaged in the financial industry, or has a better understanding of this industry, he can choose the protagonist to be strong in wealth, so as to determine that the work is a business war theme, generally speaking, it should be an urban business war article. And if the author is good at various business ideas, familiar with various marketing methods, but does not know much about the details of the current financial industry, then it is okay to put the background of the story in ancient times and write it as a historical business war novel, or write it as a fantasy business war text. ”

In short, the author's choice here should definitely not focus on which types are popular and which types have more readers, but should focus on their own abilities, see what they are familiar with, what they are good at, and what they like, so as to draw the most appropriate choice. For example, if the author's writing style is hot-blooded and sensational, then you can consider strong force or power, corresponding to the hot-blooded escalation essay and the war military text. ”

Now, the sentence becomes "The protagonist is super strong in the xx field". ”

"After determining the domain, the next step is to consider the reason why the protagonist is so strong, or the reason. In a sense, this is the most important core of the book, and it is also the true essence of YY. ”

"This can also be prioritized when expanding sentences, moving steps before domains, or combining two points and considering them together."

"Why is the protagonist strong? This question may make many new authors at a loss and can't think of any reason, but in fact, as long as you think about it a little in the usual reading process, you will find that in fact, the strength of the protagonist is nothing more than a few old routines. ”

"Taking traditional martial arts as an example, the protagonist has roughly these common reasons for being strong."

"First of all, good luck. This is the most common martial arts routine, the so-called falling off the cliff and not dying, learning magic skills, swallowing the 10,000-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and meeting the eccentric old man who calls himself "Brother...... and so on, which have been used countless times, creating one strong protagonist after another. And in the final analysis, it's actually the luck of the protagonist. ”

"The second is to inherit a good family background. This is a common routine of the earlier batch of martial arts, at the beginning, a handsome and dashing young man riding a white horse and carrying a sword on his back makes his debut, obviously, the background of the young man is unusual, either there is a strong school of mentorship, or from an extraordinary wealthy family. This is the reason why the protagonist is strong. ”

"The third is talent. If you don't want to arrange too good a background for the protagonist, and don't give him adventures again and again, the protagonist can only rely on his talent to excel. Correspondingly, there is another kind of relying on the diligence of the protagonist, but this reason is really not very convincing, after all, it is only 24 hours a day, and the protagonist does not sleep every day, how much better can he be than others? This can make the protagonist strong, but it doesn't quite fit the premise of being super strong. ”

"In general, martial arts novels are these three types of routines. However, don't look at each one very old-fashioned, but these classic routines can be said to be eternal, even if you continue to use them now, as long as you change your coat, with different settings, different characters, and different plots, it is still a new novel, and it can still attract a large number of readers. ”

"Of course, in web novels...... You've probably heard the term 'online text'. To be honest with you, it is very useful to listen well. This is about the discovery of another world, and now the upper echelons of the guild have gone crazy, and the middle and lower levels are no longer airtight. It is estimated that it will not be long before organizations such as the main god space will also learn about this. ”

"'Online text' is just like our grandfathers of different levels of various genres, after so many years of rise, there are now more than the above three routines, and the reasons why the protagonist is super strong have also become varied. There are as many kinds of routines as there are online articles, you can understand it this way. ”

"Travel, Rebirth, Reincarnation, Possession of the Gods, Alien Favor, Ancient Relic, Innate Abilities, Intelligent Computers, Racial Alien ......"

There are all kinds of strange reasons, you can choose one that fits more closely with other settings, so as to continue to expand the sentence to "Because of xx, the protagonist is super strong in the xx field." ””

"At this point, there is only one last thing left that needs to be expanded, that is, after the protagonist is strong, what will he do, and what is his goal?"

"If strong reason is the core of the novel, then the goal of the protagonist, and the process of accomplishing it, is the main body of the novel. This is a point that many new authors tend to overlook, and without this goal, the strength of the protagonist will become meaningless. ”

"One of the simplest ways to set a goal is to unify the goal with the field itself. For example, the protagonist is strong in wealth, so he sets making money and becoming the richest man in the world as his goal. ”

"This goal can be common to most works, except for the invincible text where the protagonist appears to be the first in the world."

"Outside of the goal of becoming stronger, the most common setting is revenge. The hatred of killing the father, the pain of destroying the door, the humiliation of the crotch, and the hatred of the race...... The protagonist's various grievances can become the driving force for his revenge, and can also be the driving force for the development of the story. ”

"Revenge can be said to be a destructive move, and on the contrary, construction, whether it is to make the family better, or to make the sect live well, or to make the country rich and strong, can also become the goal of the protagonist and the direction of the development of the plot."

"Whether it's revenge or revenge, whether it's destruction or construction, whether you want to be strong or want to live an ordinary life, in fact, it's not the most important goal, but the protagonist must have a goal, whatever it is."

In addition, it should be noted that for a work of two or three million words, this goal can be phased, such as revenge, not that revenge is successful, the work must be over, and a new goal can be set for the protagonist. Therefore, there is no need to deliberately delay the time for the protagonist to reach his goal for the sake of writing long. ”

At this point, the first stage of the sentence expansion work has been completed. The sentence has become "Because of xx, the protagonist is super strong in the xx realm, and he will complete xx by his ability." ”

"Up to now, the theme concept, the type of work, and the main story line of the whole book have basically been determined. However, if you want to write more smoothly, you have to continue the sentence expansion work. ”

"The first is to complete the personal information of the protagonist, just like filling in the marriage information, and try to put the protagonist's appearance, figure, family background, occupation, income, family and friend relationships, ability, and personality as much as possible...... And so on, the more detailed it is, the more helpful it will be for future writing. ”

"And the choice of these settings is mainly based on two principles."

"First of all, it must be in line with the premise of YY, or in other words, don't artificially increase the difficulty of writing."

"For example, set up the main character as a woman, an ugly-looking disabled person with a cowardly personality and good for nothing...... In this way, it obviously increases the difficulty of writing, and I believe that under normal circumstances, no author will deliberately choose to do so. So that's actually pretty easy to do. ”

"Secondly, there is the principle of non-conflict. For example, while setting the protagonist's family origins, and setting him to be an orphan since he was a child, his parents died and became an orphan, these two settings are in conflict with each other, and one must be modified. ”

"This point, it seems easy, but it is actually a bit troublesome, which requires us to first improve the settings, then find out the conflicting parts, and then modify them, and then find out the conflicting parts, and then modify the ......"

"If you're lucky, you'll be able to fix it quickly, but if you're unlucky, you'll find that one conflict is changed, and another conflict is created at the same time...... Here, you have to be a little patient, and you have to resolve all the conflicts before you can start writing in earnest. ”

The second thing to expand is the process of the protagonist to complete the goal, and this is actually equivalent to the outline of the work. ”

"Leaving aside the specific way of writing the outline for the time being, what we need to focus on now is how to expand it mechanically. Basically, there are two easiest ways to do it. ”

"One is the cutting method. Divide the protagonist's distance from the goal into many equal parts, and then complete them in sections. For example, if the protagonist's goal is to be the best player in the world, then this requires the protagonist to reach level 100, and the protagonist is now level 0. In this way, the whole process is evenly divided into 100 equal parts, and then you can design the specific plot paragraph by paragraph and write it paragraph by paragraph. ”

"The second is the tortuous method. deliberately set up all kinds of obstacles for the protagonist, so that a thing that was originally very smooth can add many twists and turns to make the plot more twists and turns, and then, between each twist and turn, continue to set up obstacles and continue to increase twists and turns, so that it can also become the skeleton of the outline after a few times. ”

After doing all of the above, the sentence becomes "The protagonist is a xx person, because xx, he is super strong in the xx field, and he will rely on his ability to complete xx, although there will be xx and xx difficulties in it." ””

"At this point, the sentence expansion work has been completed, and the overall concept of the novel has actually been completed."

"Maybe everyone will feel confused when they see this, let me give you an example, and I believe you will understand."

Starting with "the protagonist is super strong", the first step is to imagine where he is strong. ”

"Let's just pick the most common one, the protagonist is strong. At this point, there is no need to think about anything new. ”

"The second step, why is the protagonist so strong?"

"Here, it's better to be a little more original. Of course, the so-called novelty is only relative, and in essence, it can't get rid of those old routines, and all we can do is to put on a coat that hasn't been written. ”

"Let's first pick an old routine at random, for example, the protagonist's master is strong."

Then, put a slightly fresh coat on the old routine, so that the reader doesn't look at it as the same old content. So, what kind of cloak do you wear? ”

"Is the protagonist's master reborn or time-traveled? This is rare, but think about it again, this is just the first impression that makes people feel fresh, and then you still have to use the old routine of crossing and rebirth to carry out YY, and once the freshness is over, it is better to let the protagonist go through directly. ”

"The protagonist is possessed by a demon king, and the soul of an incomparably strong man is attached to the protagonist and becomes the protagonist's master? This is possible, at least more reliable than the previous one, but it is also not new. ”

"Then, let the protagonist get the alien teaching instrument, let him get the Elder Scrolls, let him get the guidance of the mortal beasts, let him get the guidance of his future self, and let him ......"

"These, it doesn't seem to be appropriate, such as getting your own guidance in the future, this is a good choice, but to put it bluntly, it's actually a rebirth text."

"After thinking about it a lot, we made a premise where the protagonist had an ability to see what had happened in the past in a certain place."

"In this way, it is equivalent to the protagonist can have many good masters."

"For example, if there is a famous teacher in a certain sect, the protagonist can go to that sect to sweep the floor and do chores, and he can go there to clean up after the famous teacher lectures, and by the way, listen to what he said before."

"He can go to the battle site to witness a dragon fight after the battle of the strong, and absorb the rare actual combat experience up close."

He can get a powerful secret in someone, study it alone and leave, and then go to this place to "watch" the secret secret. ”

“…… Countless opportunities have arisen, which is equivalent to the protagonist having countless super masters. ”

"In addition, this ability should also be able to be upgraded, from the beginning it can only be seen a few minutes ago, gradually increasing, as the protagonist's strength increases, the protagonist can see what happened earlier, he can even see the fierce battles of the ancient gods and demons, and see the tricks that can destroy the heavens and the earth."

In this way, there is no problem with the reason why the protagonist is strong. The protagonist is super strong in force because he can see the ability to see the past. ”

"Next, it's the protagonist's purpose."

"This, on the one hand, you can conventionally choose a target that the protagonist wants to become stronger, and on the other hand, you can casually make up a story for the protagonist that belongs to him, so as to create a purpose."

"For example, the family of the protagonist has a strange curse, the family is passed down from generation to generation, and the only male in each generation does not live to be forty years old. And this prompts the protagonist to find the answer, he not only wants to save himself, but also his children and grandchildren. ”

"This in itself can be one of the goals of the protagonist, which is to find the cause of the family curse and find a solution."

And this goal can also be further concretized and staged. For example, the protagonist knows that there is a castle in the sky, where there is a legendary temple, which contains all-encompassing knowledge, and no matter what difficult questions people have, they can be answered in it, but only strong people who have reached the level of the sacred realm can enter, and each person can only ask one question. ”

"In this way, the protagonist's goal in the first stage is determined, he wants to reach the Sanctuary level and enter the temple as soon as possible before the age of forty, or even thirty."

"At this point, the theme and main line of the story have actually been determined."

"The protagonist has the ability to see the past, so that he can become a strong man, and his goal is to reach the Sanctuary level as soon as possible and enter the temple of Sky City."

"And here, the protagonist's settings are actually half completed."

"He comes from a family of Ding Buwang, his father died early because of the mysterious curse of the family, and his mother can live or die, depending on the author's depiction of family affection."

"The character of the protagonist should have an element of perseverance and perseverance, preferably with kindness attributes as well."

"Considering the setting of the story, the protagonist has a lot of opportunities to play roles such as servants, so it can be set that he is a very ordinary-looking teenager with a mediocre appearance and an ordinary figure. In this way, it is more suitable for him to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. ”

"However, the protagonist should not blindly be low-key, he is more suitable to have a spirit of not being afraid of power, because he can see the opponent's previous battle scenes again and again, and carefully look for the opponent's weaknesses and loopholes, so it is more appropriate to design him to challenge the strong again and again."

"And emotionally, this theme is more suitable for the opposite sex to be upside down, many people of the opposite sex like him because of the protagonist's strength or kindness, but the protagonist takes into account his curse and does not dare to accept any feelings, and this makes every opposite sex who has a good impression of him have the opportunity, do not give up, and surround him."

"The setting of the protagonist is roughly completed, and the specific process of his completion of the goal, that is, the outline of the work, is not difficult to set. He rises level by level, especially with more powerful masters over and over again, which means that the protagonist needs to constantly change maps. ”

"The protagonist first finds a weaker master, such as a small martial arts hall nearby, and after he learns the skills of the martial arts master with the help of his ability, the protagonist changes places, such as going to a third-rate sect and being a handyman...... Then go in search of a more powerful master. ”

"With this as the backbone, join the protagonist's continuous escalation, clash with enemies again and again, make friends one by one, discover more and more treasures, and maneuver between multiple members of the opposite sex...... Naturally, the outline of the work was born. ”

"The next thing to do is nothing more than to determine the specific background of the story, set the name of the main character, the specific age, set the personality of each main character, set a more specific outline, and so on."

"A novel that can write two or three million words is actually just like that."

"If you're a new author, do you still find it difficult to conceive a work? You all have a lot of experience before you came here. The grandfathers here, as long as they describe their real experiences...... It doesn't matter, it's just a different host. Class! ”

[Makes sense! Reasonable! 】

Tang Zhu's eyes lit up, and he was secretly glad that he had caught up with such a class.

[Next, it seems that another famous old professor of the Department of Rebirth will also teach in this classroom.] Why don't you look for another class and just stay here? 】

Tang Zhu took out the pen and paper again and put it on the table.

After a while, a man in a green shirt walked in with a serious expression.

"In this lesson, I'm going to tell you what it means to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. Many other experimental areas have mature experience, but our area is still just a wasteland, so we have to talk about it in detail. ”

"Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is to let the powerful protagonist hide his strength, hide his identity, pretend to be an ordinary person, or even pretend to be a weakling, to deal with people, and to exert his power at critical moments. This is a fairly common and well-loved way of YY. So, how can we make good use of this YY weapon? ”

"To write a good job of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, what is the most important point? Is the protagonist's martial arts high enough, or is the protagonist hidden deep enough, or is the protagonist cool enough to be powerful at the end? In fact, none of this is right, the most important thing about pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is the reason, the reason why the protagonist hides his strength. ”

"If the protagonist is in a situation where he has to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, or if pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger can bring him great benefits, then using this technique, everything will be logical, and the reader will be very excited and enjoyable."

"On the contrary, if the protagonist does not have a very good reason, just that the author knows that it is beneficial to write like this, so he forcibly lets the protagonist play in order to play a pig and eat a tiger, then the novel must be a failure, no matter how wonderful the plot is later, the reader will ask, why does the protagonist have such a strong strength, but must go around in a big circle to solve the problem, is he a fool?"

"The reason for pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is actually not difficult to find, the most traditional situation is that although the protagonist is very strong, his enemy is a stronger powerhouse, or a very powerful organization, so the protagonist has to hide his identity in order to save his life; Similarly, the protagonist has to avoid people who are not necessarily stronger than him, maybe the protagonist owes debts to the other party, including love debts, or maybe the protagonist does not want to be seen by the other party, for example, the protagonist's parents want to arrest him and get married, but the protagonist is unwilling to ......"

"The above is a more traditional method in the past, and recently, there is a setting that is gradually rising, that is, invincible text with pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. In this kind of work, the protagonist is often invincible in the world as soon as he appears, and at this time, the traditional YY method of upgrading has lost its meaning, so it is particularly important to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. ”

"The more common reason is that the protagonist has come to the end of a certain path, and in order to make a further breakthrough, he has to choose another direction and start from scratch, for example, a certain demon leader has practiced to the extreme, and decides to join the decent after disguise, starting from a junior apprentice, trying to take another path, and helping him comprehend the way of heaven through comparison; Or, the protagonist has been practicing penance all his life and finally becoming the best in the world, and at this time, he realizes that he has never enjoyed life, so he decides to pretend to be a young man and re-experience the various states of life......"

"In addition to the above two types, there are many situations of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, such as the protagonist being ordered to be an undercover agent and pretending to be a gangster; Or the protagonist has received great favors from others, and now wants to repay the debt without a trace, so he pretends to be an ordinary person to approach the benefactor's children and protect them; Or the girl that the protagonist likes hates to fight and kill the most, so the protagonist pretends to be a weak scholar to approach her; Or, the protagonist has a heavy responsibility and doesn't want to make trouble, so he pretends to be an ordinary person......"

"All of the above can be regarded as self-justifying explanations, on the basis of them, to set up how the protagonist to play a pig and how to eat a tiger, as long as you grasp the basic YY elements, there will be basically no problem."

"However, it should be noted that pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is not just a situation based on force as mentioned above, the protagonist can be a high-ranking official or even an emperor pretending to be a commoner, a rich man pretending to be a beggar, or a scientist pretending to be a student, or even, a computer pretending to be a human ......"

"In addition, in pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, the protagonist does not have to be outstanding, he does not have to reach the peak of strength, he can be a medium-level master pretending to be a low-level beginner, or he can be a seven-grade sesame official micro-service private visit, as long as the comparison of strength or identity is handled, the YY point is just as prominent."

"There is also a special form of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, that is, the protagonist really becomes a pig. The protagonist used to have super strength in the past, but now, because of various accidents, such as serious injuries, amnesia, reincarnation, soul transfer, etc., the protagonist has temporarily lost his ability, but he is different from ordinary weaklings, when he is too strong, he can also recover to be strong at any time, and his insight and experience are not comparable to ordinary people......"

"This kind of work is very different in nature from pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but the YY point actually has a lot in common, such as the protagonist does not rely on showing strength to subdue the enemy, but inadvertently reveals some unusual features, with this as the main YY point."

"On the premise of having a good reason, to write a good pretence of a pig and a tiger, it is more important to create a strong contrast, so that the protagonist's ability and his revealed strength and weakness form a huge contrast, so that the YY point can be most prominently reflected. As for the manufacturing comparison, this has already been explained above, so I will not repeat it here. ”

"Another important point of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is secrecy. Although the protagonist is weak, he is actually very strong, and this secret, the protagonist himself knows, and the reader also knows, this is a secret shared by the reader and the protagonist, which is unknown to the others in the book. ”

Generally speaking, the tighter this secret is kept, the more successful the novel will be, on the contrary, if the details of the protagonist are known to the world, then the novel will not be interesting. For newcomer authors, it is especially necessary to be calm here, the protagonist is not not to show off, he can inadvertently reveal the breath of some strong people, and he can also exert a small range of power on appropriate occasions, but he must not consciously publicize it. ”

"This involves another element of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, that is, the passivity of showing off your might. The same show of strength, the protagonist should not be consciously displayed, but forced to shoot helplessly, the protagonist should not intentionally shoot in front of others, but because of the accident discovered by others, these seem to have the same result, but one is active, one passive, and the difference in pleasure in reading is very large. ”

"Active exaltation will make the protagonist appear psychologically naïve, making the story much less exciting, and passive, helpless being discovered, will not damage the protagonist and the story, as long as the exposure is controlled within a small range, and, preferably, it is between exposed and unexposed, so that other characters doubt the protagonist's ability, but there is no evidence, and the protagonist resolutely denies it, the story will develop in such an unclear way, always hanging the reader's appetite, but from time to time give them some small sweetness, let the protagonist play a little."

"In short, if you can do the above points well, the novel will basically not be too bad."

"For newcomers, it may be difficult to grasp the balance between keeping the identity of the protagonist secret and making him look prestigious, and here is a trick, that is, let the protagonist have a dual identity and have two images. For example, the simplest is to have the protagonist appear masked when he is majestic, or to allow him to change his appearance, including disguise, wearing a mask, etc. In this way, the protagonist can appear as a "masked superman" at any time when needed. ”

"Let's talk about another thing."

"I've talked about some conceptual and principled things in the first few times, and I'll break them down later with specific novels. Concepts and principles, like axioms in geometry, make the truth clear, and it will be easier later. ”

"I don't need to elaborate on what the sense of substitution is, right? If you don't know, do more self-criticism. This is a must-know. ”

"As we all know, the most important thing for readers is to bring in a sense of immersion."

"A novel without a sense of substitution, no matter how profound, touching, thought-provoking, the plot is tense and exciting, even to the point of making people blame themselves and enlightened, readers will only give you a thumbs up, but unfortunately, there will be no sense of urgency to read. That's what it means to be applauded or not. ”

"On the other hand, maybe your book is average, the plot is dry, not vivid, and the content is not new, but the sense of substitution is full, then this is a book that the editor likes very much, because such a book has been popular for many people. "

"It's not that there are no online novels with a poor sense of substitution and other good ones. For example, you once had a senior in the Rebirth Department, who also graduated from here twenty years ago, and he once wrote a book "1871 Divine Impact", which is like this, and the author is simply the reincarnation of Lu Xun. ”

"I am not satirizing the author, on the contrary, I admire the author Lord Nelson very, very much, first, he made it clear that he did not come to make money, and second, he wrote very well, showing the ugliness of Chinese human nature to the fullest, so that I can't bear to read it, reading this book is like criticizing myself."

"Of course, there's nothing about this book."

"A book with a sense of substitution, the reader regards himself as the protagonist, so in the next chapter, the protagonist is going to be cool, to get super awesome equipment, to kill the enemy, to soak in MM, of course the reader can't wait to read it, because in the case of being cool right away, what's the point of spending a dime or two?"

That's where the sense of substitution comes in. There's no sense of substitution.,Even if that stupid protagonist is about to be awesome.,But what does it have to do with me? What's more,There's no sense of the book.,The stupid protagonist may not be able to be awesome once in eight hundred years.,That's why there's no sense of substitution.,I found that it turned out to be awesome when it should have been.,Isn't this a cheat? ”

"Then the question of where the sense of bringing comes from comes, the first source is given above, the protagonist should be often awesome, often cool. The protagonist is often awesome and often cool, and the reader will naturally bring it in and feel the same coolness. ”

"Of course, I want to explain that what I am talking about today is for popular works, if you are a niche author, such as writing bitter love dramas to attract that part of the audience, you can refer to my opinion, don't be too entangled."

"This is the source of fantasy and obscene novels, which are often in a very YY state. The authors of our online novels should spend their brains on how to make the protagonist often in YY's place and the plot is reasonable, if it can be unexpected, it would be better. ”

"How to make the protagonist awesome, how to make the protagonist cool? I won't answer this question, if your personality is not particularly weird, then the things that can make you cool will naturally make readers happy. Each author has his own way of making the protagonist awesome and cool.,This thing is the core strength of the author of online novels.,If this has to be taught.,It's better to let people write books for you directly.,If you don't have this quality, rewrite romance novels as soon as possible.,It's quite profitable to write romance novels well......"

"T and cool will produce a sense of substitution, and the sense of substitution does not only come from the bull and cool."

"If you want to know what content will bring a sense of involvement, in fact, there is a simple way for authors who read a lot of books, which is to look at what type of novel is written at the beginning of the most people. Because the beginning of the novel is actually used to exert a sense of involvement, a place to grab the reader, and the development of the plot is a matter of the future. ”

"For example, in many otherworldly novels, the protagonist belongs to a big force, and the author makes the protagonist be bullied, especially by his cousins and sisters, which makes people feel like a thousand people. According to the previous hints, an answer is given, being bullied, being bullied by bad relatives, and especially being divorced, makes people feel a sense of substitution. It is precisely because of being bullied by bad relatives and being divorced that people have a sense of substitution, so many people write and are written rotten. ”

"I'm going to spit it out here, malicious conjecture, among those authors who write bad relatives and waste materials to get married, I'm afraid that the vast majority of them don't know why they write like this, but everyone else writes like this, then I will follow the trend, anyway, it will not be wrong to follow the crowd, right?"

"Actually, no, the comrades are outrageously wrong. The result of knowing what is true and not knowing why it is is the result is that although they also arrange this kind of plot, it may not be able to play its due role, it may not appear in the right place, it may not be able to stimulate the reader's sense of involvement, and even backfire, the plot itself is annoying, and then it is the same, which is not a hell of a thing. ”

"Let's talk about being bullied first, who said that writing about being bullied will definitely make readers feel involved?"

"For example, I once saw a book that roughly wrote like this, the protagonist is a heavenly power, very powerful, and then descends to the earth, enters a certain academy and pretends to be a weakling, and is bullied."

"Do students feel brought in when they see this plot? Maybe there was one more point before, and I'm afraid it will be gone here, right? ”

"Why is that? Because this author doesn't know why being bullied has a sense of substitution, and under what circumstances being bullied will have a sense of substitution. This question is back to the front, where does the sense of substitution come from? ”

"The first source of the sense of bringing in is to make the reader feel that the protagonist is awesome, and then bring himself in, and feel that he is awesome, so it is very cool. The second source is to make the reader resonate, so that the reader can empathize with the plot in the novel, which is why "being bullied". ”

"You are invincible after a heavenly power, and you see an ant showing off your might in front of you, and then you have to be bullied by ants, do you make the reader empathize? You don't hurt yourself and you still want the reader to have a sense of involvement, do you dream? Writing like this will do nothing but make the reader call you stupid. ”

"What situation does a person encounter with intense mood swings? Don't talk about the good times such as winning the 5 million grand prize, talk about the negative, it's nothing more than being bullied, insulted, framed, robbed of love, taken away from your own things, wronged and wronged, etc., so that readers can hate the same enemy. ”

When encountering this kind of plot, will readers definitely empathize? No, it has to make the reader feel pain, it has to be a "real" negative plot, like that celestial power, who has not been hurt at all, is it useful to just show the ugliness of the opponent? The reader doesn't care. Conversely, is it cool to abuse each other and bully ants? ”

"We write online novels, and we can't make up the plot so that the reader doesn't care, and we can't let the protagonist don't care. When you encounter an event, it seems to be very loud, but in fact it has no effect on the protagonist, and the protagonist seems to be affected by it, but the reader knows very well that this thing will not affect the protagonist (or can't figure out what the impact will be), and it has nothing to do with the protagonist's short, medium and long-term goals, so even if you are pointed at and scolded, what can you do? Anyway, my protagonist is here to make soy sauce. ”

"The occurrence of this kind of plot shows that the plot made up by the author has nothing to do with the setting and environment of the novel itself, in short, it is out of tune."

"Relatively speaking, it is much better to quit the marriage, even if the author himself does not know that this kind of plot is to strengthen the reader's sense of substitution, make the reader empathize, and stimulate empathy, but it is difficult to write wrong. This bridge is so classic, you come and go with every move and style are fixed, so you can't make a mistake if you want to write wrong. ”

""Waste materials", "divorce", the conditions have been set to death, so it is difficult to arrange a wrong environment and the wrong position to let this kind of plot appear. And it must appear at the beginning, this is also conventional, and no genius author writes in the middle of it, so it's hard to make a mistake. ”

"That's why I'm going to spit out being bullied and quitting the marriage, can't I make up other jokes to resonate with readers except this kind of joke? Use your brain, there are a lot of plots like this! ”

"Of course, the classic bridge of waste material and divorce still needs to be skillfully used, which is the basic skill."

"Being bullied by bad relatives, being divorced, and being looked down upon is nothing more than mobilizing the reader's negative emotions, as mentioned earlier, being bullied, insulted, framed, being robbed of love, being taken away from one's own things, suffering injustice and grievances, etc., as long as the plot is appropriate, so that these emotions are real, not irrelevant to the protagonist, all can be written, and the effect will not be worse than the waste material divorce. Why do you have to hang yourself on being bullied and dismissed? ”

"Let the reader have a sense of substitution, nothing more than pain and happiness, as long as the reader really feels cool, really feel angry, anger burns through the nine heavens, the sense of substitution will naturally come. This requires work on the plot, first of all, the protagonist must not act like a fool and make the reader disagree, the reader must agree with the protagonist's way of doing things; Secondly, the key plot should appear, and in a rhythm that conforms to the protagonist's way of doing things, there will be joy or anger. ”

Don't be cautious about using the sad emotion of "helpless, pitiful" here, if the author of fantasy and erotic novels wants to arouse the reader's helpless and pitiful emotions, it is easy for the reader to give up your work. ”

"For example, on the Water Margin, Lin Chong was framed in the White Tiger Festival, I think this kind of joke is okay to use in fantasy novels, and it's pretty good, but on the way to distribution, he was abused by Dong Chao and Xue Ba, Lin Chong was miserable, the sky should not be called the earth, this kind of plot must not be had, readers of fantasy novels will basically say goodbye to you."

"In the same way, Yang Zhi escorted Shengchengang, a group of carts first had to rest, and the dead skin had to buy wine and drink, and then everything happened to Yang Zhi, which is quite good, but Yang Zhi ran to hang himself, this is absolutely not okay."

That is to say, you can be bullied, but the protagonist cannot be without the ability to resist. The heart cannot give in. You can't give up on yourself. ”

"I won't give other examples of how to do it, this is a necessary skill for the author of fantasy and obscene novels, so there is no need to repeat it."

In addition to the above two aspects, there is also an important source of involvement, which is the identification with the protagonist. For example, the identity of identity, the identity of the style of acting. This emphasizes the need for the protagonist to do things in a way that the reader can agree with, and then the key plot appears at the critical moment. ”

"First of all, identity, many otherworldly novels make the protagonist a time-traveler, the purpose is to add some sense of involvement, so that readers feel that the protagonist is not a dummy from another world, but a person who is similar to his own identity experience."

"The key to this sense of substitution is to make the reader feel that he can be the protagonist, so let the protagonist's identity be ordinary, rather than making the protagonist feel unattainable. After all, the mass readership is ordinary people, if it was originally the second generation of the emperor's relatives and officials, the second generation of the rich second, so the setting, obviously the sense of substitution from the identity will be very poor. ”

"Based on the above reasons, even if it is not an otherworldly theme, but a variety of cities, fairytales, ancient overheads, etc., the origin of the protagonist of the novel should also be as close to ordinary readers as possible, unless the theme is to write palace fights, then there is no way, it has to be a prince, a princess, etc., this can't be lowered, and there is no need to, because readers who like this kind of novel have already brought themselves into that kind of environment, and they all think that they are the fourth elder brother or a certain concubine, nobleman, always there, and promised...... Wait a minute, you know. ”

In order to increase the sense of involvement, it is even better to write some novels that are more difficult to write in the first person, because although first-person novels are not good in one way or another, but with "I" as the protagonist, the innate sense of bringing in the novel is very strong, and if the plot is still cool, it will give the reader a very strong reading pleasure, and it is easier to make people immersive. ”

"The sense of substitution brought about by the identification of the protagonist's acting style is a little complicated to deal with, the main reason is that the style of acting does not matter whether it is right or wrong, this style is liked by some readers, others may scoff, another style is liked by other readers, and some readers choose to give up."

"For this situation, I can only suggest that the protagonist's style be kept constant and not swayed, for example, you said earlier that the protagonist is all kinds of courageous, all kinds of killing decisions, and forge ahead, so the reader who likes the protagonist's steady character has already left, and then you wrote later that he is not in a hurry to make a decision when he encounters something, and it seems very stable, yes, the sense of substitution of other readers disappears, and another batch of them go."

"The recognition of the protagonist's style is actually very important for whether a novel can attract readers, and a very large proportion of readers close a book because they see the plot that makes him unhappy, and this unhappiness is not that the protagonist encounters something unpleasant and has an unhappy plot, but that the protagonist does something that makes the reader unhappy and makes the reader feel that the protagonist is stupid. Please appreciate this carefully. ”

As an example, the protagonist knows that a woman he meets by chance has a powerful and unreasonable bodyguard who can kill anyone who comes into contact with her at any time, without any reason. The protagonist knows this, and he subjectively wants to stay away from that woman, but there is another self-cooked pig brother who doesn't know that woman, and he doesn't know the protagonist, and he doesn't know about the murderous bodyguard, so he pulls the protagonist to contact the woman, so the protagonist is "half-pushed". ”

"Seeing this kind of plot, I believe that the readers of Point X will not be a minority. This is a disagreement with the protagonist's style of acting, the reader will think, you, the protagonist, know the danger, and you have to go up, and you want to go far in your head, and the little brother will come forward if he is disobedient, is this protagonist too cheap? ”

"The protagonist who can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman is very unpleasant. Therefore, when encountering this kind of plot, the author has to write a plot that interacts with this beauty, it is better to write that the protagonist knows the danger, but for some reason takes the initiative to contact her, is willing to take risks, is willing to dance on the tip of the knife, and contacts the woman for some very positive reason, which is a completely acceptable way for the reader to describe it. ”

"The bodyguard was drugged by Brother Pig, the protagonist hero saves the beauty, it's okay to say this, but it's still not so proactive, go back and think about it yourself. "

"Let the protagonist often be refreshed, in the plot of YY; Let the protagonist trigger the plot can make the reader empathize and resonate; Let readers agree, let's talk about these three points today. And then add a special case. ”

"There's a very dangerous situation, and that is that you write a supporting character that makes the reader feel particularly immersed."

"This is very dangerous, and many authors don't know that there is a danger here, and they just think that writing has a good sense of substitution, but they don't know that it may backfire."

"It is impossible for a supporting character to be written like a protagonist, because a supporting character does not have the privilege of a protagonist."

"When the supporting characters are in danger, facing embarrassment, doing bad things and being exposed, etc., it is fatal, readers may speak highly of your book, but they may abandon the book at that time. "

If it is the main character, because the protagonist is a "special one", the reader subconsciously knows that the protagonist will not die. But the supporting character that the reader has successfully substituted is going to die, and I don't want to see him die, so I don't watch it, that's all. ”

And the protagonist, even if he is divorced, will not let the reader abandon the book, this is the difference between the protagonist and the supporting role. Therefore, the description of the supporting role must be mastered, if it is really not well mastered, and the ability is not enough to have self-knowledge, then try not to spend pen and ink on the supporting role, because it may backfire. ”

"Extremely lacking in the sense of substitution of the negative textbook, I recommend one, "Book God" written by Shooting Tiger. This book was written 110 years ago, when the second group of Advance Workers had just set out...... Well, you don't have to worry about that. There is also a biographical literature written by the full-time boss "The Strongest Grandfather in the Plane", which is very creative and full of expectations, but there is little sense of substitution, and almost all the mistakes that can be made are made, forming a sharp contrast, so it must hit the street. ”

When Tang Zhu heard this, he silently lowered his head. Then he raised his hand.

"Teacher, what the 'author' is, I know, it's the old man. But there are too few readers, how can those people in the examination office be qualified to judge the quality of the work? ”

"Also, what exactly is a 'reader'? Plane Will also read novels? Who the hell is it for-" Tang Zhu suddenly stood up, "I seem to have heard a word recently, called 'Origin World'?" ”

When the lecturer heard this, his face changed greatly, he swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, and opened his lips.

"Uh...... In fact, this problem has been solved in some places. And the guild is also in full swing with a certain reform, as you'll find out in a moment...... Actually, there's so much more you don't know......"
