Listing Testimonials:
"The Literary Thief" was uploaded on September 1st, put on the shelves on November 1st, the new book period is two months, 300,000 words, and finally on the shelves, this is the seventh shelf testimonial written by Lao Mu, first of all, thank you for your support in the new book period, and my responsible editor Kangaroo, it is you who make "The Literary Thief" have the current results and opportunities to put on the shelves, thank you!
Let's start with my thoughts on this book!
Before "The Literary Thief", Lao Mu wrote a similar book "Rebirth 2003", like many friends who have watched 2003, the bits and pieces of 2003, Lu Yang, Cao Xue, Tong Yaqian, Dao Xinyi, Rui Xiaoxiu, Xing Xinxin...... A lot of things I can't forget.
If I just wanted to simply get a similar work and mix a manuscript fee, I could write a new book easily, and the grades should not be bad, but I finally chose to write a story like "The Literary Thief", why?
Because I don't want to repeat myself!
I think the new book has something new! I want to make progress and write a different story!
It's just that the character of Lu Yang has left too deep traces in my mind, and I think the same is true for all of you who have watched 2003, so at the beginning of the book, I set up a character like Zhao Yan, who is not pleasing at first glance.
For me, the hardest part of writing "The Literary Thief" is not the plot! It's about creating a protagonist who is different from Lu Yang!
Seeing this, some friends may laugh - it's different from Lu Yang, but do you need to set Zhao Yan like this?
How so?
This may have something to do with my character, when I read books, I don't like the protagonist who is pure and great, and I don't like the protagonist who is purely dark, and the protagonist I like is not a pure good person, nor is it a pure bad person! Just like when I watched "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", some people liked Kou Zhong and some people liked Xu Ziling, but my favorite was the evil king Shi Zhixuan! Watching "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", my favorite is the Eastern Evil Yellow Pharmacist.
I like Huang Yaoshi's words very much - in my eyes, there is no difference between right and wrong!
Actually, I personally think that Zhao Yan is the same as Lu Yang, and the advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious! It's just that at the beginning of "Rebirth 2003" and "The Literary Thief", the two had different ages and experiences, which created their different personalities!
Lu Yang appeared with a mature character, and Zhao Yan started from a young and frivolous age.
In terms of the overall plot of "The Literary Thief", I used the way of writing that I want to promote and suppress first! Zhao Yan had a lot of problems at the beginning, I knew that such a setting would make some people disgusted, which I had expected, but I was thinking about the beginning and end of the whole story, and I hope that this book will be written from the beginning to the end, and the more you write it, the more you like it. It's not a high point at the beginning, and the more you go to the back, the more boring it becomes.
"The Literary Thief" should be the last book I wrote on this subject, maybe in a few years, I will write another one, make up a trilogy, maybe, there will be no third! But one thing is certain: I won't be writing about this subject anytime soon!
Regarding "The Literary Thief", there are many interesting ideas and plots in the future, and I will write them out for you one by one! My expectation was that the book would be more than 3 million words.
Of course, this is just my expectation, whether I can write as planned depends on whether everyone gives me a chance.
Lao Mu is currently making a living with code words, and the subscription results on the shelves after 12 o'clock tonight directly determine the living standards of Lao Mu, on the eve of this shelf, Lao Mu is not false.
If the number of subscribers is large enough, "The Literary Thief" will definitely be completed as planned with quality and quantity; If the subscription results are too bleak, in order to live, Lao Mu can only finish the book in a hurry, maybe he will stop here, and he will no longer write online articles from now on, this is the truth! Personally, I think it is the point of you subscribing to this book and supporting the genuine version!
Subscribing to "The Literary Thief", a few dollars a month should be enough.
Don't talk more nonsense, put it on the shelves tonight, see life and death!
Finally, thank you again!
