It's a rotten book, and if anyone does see this, then I'm sorry to you, this book, in every sense of the word, is a waste of your time.

What's worse is that it is not rotten from beginning to end, and perhaps when some readers first read this book, they can still get some touches, some experiences, and some good things that can be obtained from the book.

These things build an illusory appearance, which makes people expect that it will surprise everyone in the end and become some kind of pearl shining in memory.

I'm sorry I failed you.

Some of the content is justified, so some readers who hate me can stop when they see this and feel the sincerity of my apology.

For those readers, if you want to continue to understand how the story came to be this way and how things got to this point, then read on.

I'd like to take a look at the original context of the story and why it's the way it is.

I have the same regrets about the book "The Wind Rises in Rome" as everyone else, and the regret is often due to some kind of missing, and the lack of "The Wind Rises in Rome" is that it should not be like this.

In my original plan, the story was a grand one, bringing together all the major historical events in recent European history, and the changes over the centuries, in one volume.

With the vision of the little man 'Eugen' as a window, the reader will be led to a glimpse of the historical style and changes of the times at that time.

Eugen, who was supposed to be a character like Forrest Gump in the movie "Forrest Gump", all the major historical events around him, changed because of his appearance, was led by him, or was influenced by him.

So from the very beginning, I did not intend to use a complete piece of European history, but I was going to extract only historical events, rearrange the order of events, find connections between them, and reshape them around Eugen.

It is no exaggeration to say that a time crossing of the protagonist Eugen is equivalent to a time travel to another parallel world, which is similar to our world, but in fact has no connection.

In that world, Nobel may not have invented a bomb, but a medicine to cure diseases and save people, and Charles VI may not be a soft egg, but a man of great talent who endured humiliation.

Everything, it is possible.

There is no way to say these words in the book, but only for the reader to experience, and I have hinted at them in many places.

But for some reason, looking at the content in the comment section, there are still many readers who cling to the mistakes of historical events, and their attention is not in the story, but on finding the flaws in the book that do not match history, and laying them out to launch a relentless attack.

I don't have anything to say about this, indeed, in terms of European history, my understanding is very limited, basically equivalent to the level at which high school students have just gone through the college entrance examination, that is, everything that should be forgotten has been almost forgotten.

Because of the limitations of knowledge, when many plots are described, I can only write them down by looking at the information in Baidu while consulting books.

I thought that the rhetoric of another world would cover up some of the detailed errors in the article, but unfortunately it turned out that people did not buy it.

I did make the mistake of not having enough knowledge to open the book without adequate preparation, for which I can only apologize to you.

At the same time, I hope that readers will be more tolerant and not take things that are inconsequential.

The second question is about the focus of the story, and many readers don't understand why I spent a lot of time writing about the Black Death, because the world of the Black Death takes up more than half of the book, and it is really unnecessary.

I really feel very aggrieved about this question, because I actually have a lot of content that I haven't written.

According to the plan, Eugen will go through a total of four stages in the whole process, first religion, then politics, then ideology, culture and economy, and finally technology.

In each of these four phases, two major events push each other forward, and Eugen tosses back and forth between these two events, and finally gets a part of the resources as his reserves.

The Black Death is actually just one part of the first story, in which Eugen will build up enough fame and establish a glorious image for himself by fighting against the Black Death, and then he will personally promote the Reformation and take the opportunity to control a part of the religious power in his own hands.

Compared to the whole book as planned, the Black Death was really not huge and bloated.

In my imagination, if the book could have written 1,200 chapters and all the parts of the plan were expressed, the Black Death would have been a bright spot and much more structurally reasonable.

Because the Black Death, on the entire European continent, is definitely an unbearable memory, in line with the principle of making people illusory wishes, I hope that a history of the Black Death being defeated will bring readers some pleasant emotional experience.

Unfortunately, this part of the operation was not done properly, and this part of the content did not satisfy everyone in the end.

The Black Death was an important factor in the Reformation, which was definitely a major event in European history, and Eugen had to be a part of it since he got there.

The use of the Black Death and the Reformation to accumulate fame, and perhaps the support of the religious community, was the content of the entire first phase, and I personally felt that the chapters in this phase were somewhat worth reading, and this part was also the content that I put the most effort into it.

And then came the second stage, the political stage.

At this stage, when I saw that the results of this book were not good, I actually had the idea of giving up this book, but it was just a hazy idea at the time, so I still tried to stumble and write it.

During the political phase, Eugen would use the prestige he had accumulated to promote a culture among the common people of the Holy Roman Empire in which women gained male power.

He also had to try to defeat the threat from several powerful princes in the country, defeat both the Duchy of Prussia and the Duchy of Saxon, and maintain the rule of Charles VI.

And all this he did was for one purpose, that is, to make Princess Maria succeed to the throne.

Princess Maria is the designated number one heroine, there is no problem with this, and Eugen is also in love with Princess Maria, so he wants to make Princess Maria the empress of the entire empire.

Naturally, there are many difficulties and obstacles, the thoughts of ordinary people are on the one hand, and the military oppression of the two Grand Duchyes is also another.

Eugen went to that world, not to be a virgin, he had no sympathetic thoughts, he did not want to be a hero for the liberation of women, etc.

Everything he did was for himself.

It's just that these thoughts are a bit dark after all, so they can only be talked about in the secret room and in the heart, and what is revealed on the outside must be brightened.

His political activities on the European continent will inevitably be like this, if Eugen can still have a trace of kindness when he involves religion, then when he participates in politics, he must be completely blackened.

The face is white, and the inside is all black.

This is what Eugen should look like in European politics.

It's a pity that this stage is not fully described, in fact, it is only the beginning, that is, the whiteness on the face is displayed, so some readers said in the comments that what I wrote is full of the words political correctness, and I also accept such accusations in its entirety.

Because of the fact, those black things were all prepared to be written later, but at that time, the mentality had exploded, and a lot of the content was brushed aside, so on the whole, there was only a bit of politically correct content left.

Then there is the economy and technology, there is nothing to say about these, they are all running accounts typed out in a hundred words a minute with their eyes closed, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is rubbish.

Later, when Eugen finished writing everything there, and in a ridiculous mentality, I wrote about Wang Shaoyu.

Because there were so many criticisms, too many to count, and so many people were annoyed and angry, so I thought of making a little joke with everyone.

I erased Eugen's identity, moved Wang Shaoyu to the stage, and told you that the previous content was all virtual and meaningless, and the story has just begun.

How about it, surprise or not, surprise or not, hahaha, a little joke, don't mind.

With the setting of the virtual world, in fact, I want to find a fig leaf for myself, all the loopholes in the previous story are explained by the fact that the system is wrong, like what historical mistakes, these are the problems of the programmer, and it has nothing to do with the author himself, haha.

When the protagonist became Wang Shaoyu, the style of this article also stepped on a wild horse trained by the Horse Taming Emperor in the earth world, and it was gone in an inexplicable and wonderful direction.

From the beginning of the historical text, it has been transformed into a science fiction article, and then it has been followed by the apocalyptic text, until in the end, it has simply become an absurd and bizarre four-like funny text.

Yes, you guessed that right, I'm just trying to see what genre I'm suitable for writing about and opening up ideas for the next one.

I know that if someone reads it, there will definitely be people here: "Forget it, write such a dish, and open a book, where do sand sculpture netizens have so many titanium eyeballs to read your book." ”

In this regard, I only smiled contemptuously and said, "It doesn't matter if he is watched or not, if he is blind, it will be counted as one...... 233333 you have the ability to bite me. ”

Yes, the next book will definitely be written, and I have somewhat summed up some lessons from this experience.

I was suspected of being inadequately prepared when I opened the book this time, and history is a rather difficult subject to master, so I greatly overestimated my own level, and I'm really sorry for that.

In the next book, I will choose the content I am familiar with, prepare for the collection of materials, and improve my writing level as much as possible, I don't ask for your continued support, I just hope to be able to keep it in mind and see if I, a little white, have the potential to become a god.

Of course, I am confident.

Finally, thank you again for your company this year, "The Wind Rises in Rome" is officially over, I hope that next time, I can bring you a better experience, thank you.
