Sorry, I'm back (update starts tomorrow!)
First of all, I have been breaking off for so many days, although there are many reasons, but this approach is not good in the end.
I apologize in advance.
So, let me share some of my personal thoughts.
I do have a job that is enough to make ends meet, and I didn't write this book to make money at all.
I'm not a full-time writer, but that doesn't mean that this book doesn't mean anything to me, this book is very important to me, as I said before this is the first fantasy book I've ever written, and I've only written a few messy beginnings before that, and I can't even read it myself, I'm really speechless (ˉ▽ˉ;)...
Actually, this is not the first time I've written a book, I've written about cities before, and although the pay can't be compared to my official job, I have made some money and my popularity is okay.
However, this fantasy can be said to be extremely miserable.
There's a reason for that, of course.
I'm the one who likes to read fantasy the most, and I read most of the fantasy on the list with relish, but if I ask me to evaluate my own book, I can only say that this book looks really boring. It's not salty, it's not poisonous, but it's not refreshing, but it's also seriously lacking, so what am I looking at? Ordinary language, clichéd stories, and the structure of the fantasy worldview? And these factors that have no bright spots, readers are often tired of reading them.
Of course, the efficiency of my updates is also a big problem.
I have reflected more than once on why I can write about the city with decent grades, but the fantasy is so miserable, you must know that the fantasy is my true love, and the number of fantasy I read far exceeds the city.
I'm afraid I've figured it out now.
The city has a natural but yet authentic and substitutional feeling.
When it comes to Chanel, everyone knows that it is a luxury skirt, and when it comes to Tsinghua University, everyone knows that it is a famous school, and when it comes to the specific positions of the school, everyone will naturally fill it with the existing knowledge, because this is a specific and detailed concept.
This is the innate advantage of the city or reality, just like the author of the same person, there is no need to construct an image, explain every concept, and the characters and settings of the original work can be used as they are.
Therefore, when I wrote about urban success, it was not mainly my own credit, but the general nouns I used were filled in by readers in combination with real life.
And when it comes to fantasy, all of this is different.
For example, when it comes to "aura" and "internal force", even the author, I, don't know what it looks like, let alone impress readers. In the final analysis, my pen is too weak to depict the imaginary world as if it were real.
Of course, no matter what, I will definitely continue to write this book, and I will finish it. It's my first fantasy, it's my favorite category, and it means so much to me that I can't and don't need to be a eunuch.
Actually, today's update has been written, but I have to go on a business trip on Sunday, and it's even worse, so it's better to update it tomorrow.
Next, there will be no interruption for at least half a year from tomorrow.
