Temple of Stone.

Compared with ordinary online games, one of the biggest features of the Phantom World is the combat system in the Phantom World......

Yes, the combat system!

Compared to other games, the most important feature of the battle in the fantasy world is that it can be understood and learned......

Yes, understand and learn......

To put it simply, in other online games, what kind of skills does the game character have, what kind of ability to master, in fact, there is no such concept as a principle, even if the character has the ability to destroy the world, for the player, it is just a set of data, there is no need to understand the skills like a game character, nor do you need to learn skills like a game, master skills, as long as you press the keys on the mouse and keyboard, you can easily release a variety of skills......

This point, just like the black technology in the black technology novel, the black technology is undoubtedly beyond people's imagination of technology, and the biggest feature of black technology is that the fantasy component is far greater than the practical significance, the achievement of a black technology itself can not be understood in the existing scientific way, and if it can be understood, it will not be called black technology......

In a practical sense, the existence of black technology is actually meaningless for the development of science and technology, because black technology itself is not a branch on the science and technology tree, so it has no positive influence on the growth and development of science and technology itself......

In fact, the game characters and game world view in many online games, even including game skills and the like, belong to the existence of similar black technology, in short, it is a concept that players cannot understand, identify with and master, but it is inexplicable......

And this will lead to players' sense of immersion in the game will be greatly affected......

Yes, substitution!

Just like in online novels, the most important thing for players is the strength of the sense of substitution, the stronger the sense of substitution, the more it can attract the attention and recognition of players, and on the contrary, the weaker the sense of substitution, even if the writing is overwhelmed, it may not be able to attract readers......

To take a simple example, there are many very good works of foreign literature, and after translation, it will definitely not affect the reading, but for Chinese people, how many people really like to read foreign literature? I'm afraid that among the people who go to read foreign literature, except for a very small number of people who really have a hobby, the vast majority of them are more or less just pretending to be X......

Is it because foreign literature is not wonderful enough? The answer, of course, is no, in the final analysis, it is just the difference in cultural background, which makes it difficult for readers to get a sense of substitution, that's all, if you can't get a sense of substitution, then even a very classic novel will look like chewing wax......

Speaking of which, this is one of the fundamental reasons why the Nobel Prize in Literature has not been won by Chinese authors for a long time, cultural differences will make different readers have completely different perceptions of different literature......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

This point, just like many online novels, is clearly written, why it is sought after, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than because some plots in the author's novel have resonated with readers, nothing more......

Why is a movie adapted from a game so average, but it is still sought after, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than because the movie itself represents not only a movie, but also a kind of game feelings......

This is the value of substitution!

And although many novels are written wildly, and the protagonist has an identity, background, rights and force, why are there so few readers? In the final analysis, it's actually very simple,It's nothing more than the relationship between the lack of substitution,There are two factors in the lack of substitution,On the one hand, the gap between the identity of the protagonist and ordinary people is too large,Resulting in a difference in the sense of substitution,Of course,This is actually not the key,Because many readers also prefer this very strong protagonist,Many times,The strength of the protagonist is also a kind of enjoyment for readers,Even if the sense of substitution is not so strong,Quietly watching the protagonist pretend to X,It's also a very pleasant experience......

On the other hand, it is the element that really leads to the disgust of readers, that is, because the author himself sets a lofty identity for the protagonist in order to pursue refreshment, but his own vision is limited, which leads to the protagonist's words and deeds always cannot match his identity and status, resulting in a series of contradictions and mistakes......

For example, a protagonist who is an official always has to meet hooligans on the road at every turn, and then the girls around him are always molested, and then the protagonist is sometimes beaten up, or simply takes the initiative to fight back, in the final analysis, such a plot is, in a sense, very unreasonable in itself......

In other words, even if such a plot has a certain degree of rationality under the author's deliberate arrangement, such a plot should not happen......

A person's identity and status always have to match his circumstances......

A senior white-collar worker in a company or a young and promising civil servant with a certain level, whether they usually work or live and play, it is almost difficult to meet hooligans in the pure sense, because the level of their lives is already different from those hooligans, and this kind of chance encounter is actually very abrupt......

The kind of plot where you can often encounter hooligans and gangsters on the street is almost impossible to happen in real life......

A hooligan gangster, the most basic element is to have a certain eyesight, what kind of people can afford to offend, what kind of people can't afford to offend, they all have a scale in their hearts, they see the familiar lady A Fei or something on the road, they may have a lustful heart to go up and tease, but if it is really a beauty dressed in fashionable clothes, even if they are given ten guts, they will never dare to come forward to tease, let alone have a male partner around......

There are many plots like this, and the sense of substitution in the novel is naturally not much better......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The sense of substitution is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it can really affect the reader's emotional state......

Here's a very simple example......

There is a mini-game called Counterattack Star Journey Shine......

The content of the game tells the story of a female assistant who struggles and counterattacks along the way and finally becomes a big star......

It's a very inspirational game, and you can't stop playing it at all......

However, in fact, if you think about the content of the game, it is nothing more than a heroine romance novel above the average level......

Because in the game, although players need to face some choices, but many choices often lead to BADEND, in the process of the game, as long as the game is constantly saved, the path that the player finally chooses must be the only main line......

In the final analysis, it's nothing more than a bloody and inspirational romance novel......

And such a novel, in normal times, I am afraid that it will not attract the attention of ordinary readers at all, and even if I see it, I am afraid that I will be defeated by words such as starry or domineering president......

After all, male and female frequencies are two completely different worlds......

However, if the plot is promoted in a game-like way, so that the player becomes the protagonist of the novel, even for male players, this is a very good game...... (Here's a little bit to add, I recently watched the live broadcast of the game in Betta at night, and I saw it from 12 o'clock to 4 o'clock in the morning every night, just to watch others play this game, and the plot is really good...... ）

In fact, the sense of substitution itself is made up of two parts......

The first part is the role itself, whether it fits with itself, and the more the character fits with itself, the stronger the sense of substitution that it often brings to readers......

Of course, this part is actually not the most important part, because many times, in fact, for readers, they can substitute into many roles, although the vast majority of readers are very ordinary, but almost everyone has a heart that is unwilling to be ordinary, as long as the character description is brilliant enough, then it will be recognized by readers......

The second part is about the world I have substituted into......

Yes, the world!

Whether it's the world of novels, games, movies and TV series......

No matter what kind of world it is, it must always conform to the most basic logic and the common sense in the cognition of the vast majority of people, so as to be recognized by readers......

On the contrary, if the author depicts a world that is too bizarre and cannot give the most reasonable explanation, then it is easy for readers to have a sense of disagreement with this world from the heart, and then it will naturally greatly reduce the sense of substitution for the character, no matter how powerful the character is, it is difficult for people to identify with it......

For example, to take a simple example, the most typical is a kind of novel routine that is the enemy of the world, in this kind of novel, no matter what the protagonist does, whether it is good or bad, no matter what he wants to do, he will be hindered and suppressed, everyone in the world is the enemy, and will naturally be hostile to the protagonist, and the protagonist will be framed when he becomes a hero, no matter what the protagonist does, he is always hunted down, misunderstood and excluded every day......

This kind of novel is actually a typical plot for the sake of the plot, and it is difficult for readers to identify with such a world......

While it is true that there are very few novels that can be successful in this way, such novels and such authors are only a minority......

The most basic point of a good novel background is that it must have a worldview and values that are roughly equivalent to the real world, and only such novels will make it easier for readers to identify with them......

On this basis, the more delicate the character portrayal, the more normal the character's IQ, and the stronger the sense of substitution in the novel......

This is the most fundamental reason why sometimes, some novels where the protagonist can obviously explode the planet may not necessarily be as good as urban novels in terms of substitution......

Readers want to see the protagonist strong, but they don't want the protagonist to be strong beyond common sense, or inexplicably powerful, such a world is very disgusting......

The balance between giving and gaining is the measure that any novel must put me well, just like the world of infinite horror, in this world of the main god, people can become stronger, but the premise is that they need to gamble with their lives as bargaining chips again and again, which is also a balance between giving and gaining......

In a sense, those protagonists who have great power, in many cases, from the perspective of substitution, are far inferior to the protagonists in the city, because the city is closer to us, so our sense of substitution for the background of the city is far higher than that of the fantasy and fantasy worlds......

In a fantasy world, the power to explode the immortality of the planet can be exploded, but from a refreshing point of view, there is not necessarily a reality in which the refreshing feeling brought by a thirty-year-old civil servant is more powerful......

Because the former has no basis for comparison, while the latter is a real power that anyone can understand!

To be fair, in ordinary online games, although players will not have a strong sense of substitution, the most basic sense of substitution will still be there......

But this sense of substitution is completely worthless compared to the phantom world! (To be continued.) )
