Listing Testimonial: It's a challenge

The new book "Infinite Blood Core" is about to be put on the shelves, and it has been about 6 years since the last book "Gu Zhenren" was put on the shelves.

Time is like a carving knife, carving everyone's face and heart.

6 years ago, I just wrote Gu Zhenren, and I was still a single dog. Now, six years later, I have a family and my son is in kindergarten.

The experience of writing "Gu Zhenren" has given me a lot of rich writing experience and a lot of important inspiration.

I have read a lot of books in the past 6 years, and I have found many excellent books. Thanks to my colleagues, there are many excellent online articles that have emerged in the past 6 years, and they are my spiritual appetite.

Not only online articles, but also traditional classics. I couldn't sleep all night watching "The Moon and Sixpence", I watched "The Little Prince" with tears in my eyes, and I watched "Red and Black" with a lot of emotion. I also read professional books on writing, such as "What is Writing", "Story Mechanics", "Screenwriter's Guide to Writing", etc.

I finally have a systematic and private evaluation standard for the quality of the novel. I call it the triadic standard, which covers both online and traditional literature.

I began to have a new understanding of the beauty of the novel.

When I wrote "Gu Zhenren" 6 years ago, I regarded the golden three chapters, rapid updates, contradictions and conflicts, and so on as the golden rules. Now, 6 years later, I think an author should have more room to write.

The ban on "Gu Zhenren" was a major ordeal for me. Because I write books, regardless of my grades, I have never been a eunuch. I did my best to finish each book, because I love writing and love each book as if it were one of my children. I don't want to see any child die in the middle of it.

Of all the books, "Gu Zhenren" has a different meaning to me, because it is my old dream.

It was still sealed and forced to be a eunuch.

It was very painful for me. For a period of time before it happened, I felt like I was cut off from the world, like I was alone in the boundless darkness, like falling off a cliff in a gale, constantly falling, and helpless.

During this time, I experienced one of the biggest ordeals of my writing career.

This experience forced me to torture my own mind. Let me stand in a new perspective and examine my relationship with readers, my relationship with the writing platform, and my relationship with the country and society.

I began to face up to my own influence, began to think about how to assume family responsibilities and social responsibilities, and I also began to ponder the relationship between online literature and traditional literature, and even thought: as a small online writer, how to send a small light and heat to the cultural revival of the motherland.

Over the past 6 years, I have gradually felt that the value of a literary work (including online texts) is not only commercial value, but also its literary value. It's like – a good movie doesn't have to be a big hit, and a big hit isn't necessarily a good movie.

Compared to the hot data at the time of the update, I hope to create a book that can withstand the erosion of time.

With this in mind, I decided to create Infinite Blood Core.

Truth be told, it's a tough challenge.

I try to take the essence of the structure of an excellent movie or stage play and integrate it into the creation of online novels, forming a more refined, more closely integrated, and echoing overall layout of the novel.

I try to absorb the advantages of traditional literature and integrate them into online literature. For example, the excavation of human nature and the thinking of the world.

I tried to add delicate descriptions to the article, descriptions of landscapes, detailed changes in people's hearts.

I tried to focus on the theme, unify the setting, plot, and characters all together, and give "Infinite Blood Core" a soul.

This is my first attempt.

Because I was nervous, because I knew that I was weak, I made a lot of preparations.

For the outline of "Infinite Blood Core", I conceived it for more than two months.

In terms of the outline, I have made emergency adjustments to the outline of the first volume five or six times this month.

On top of that, I read a lot of biological stuff. Excellent documentaries such as "Natural History", "World Animal Encyclopedia", "Illustrated Wildlife", "Encyclopedia of Animal Life", "Animal Dynasty", as well as "Supernatural Animal Transfiguration Guide", "Pokémon Study Illustrated Guide", "World of Warcraft", "Dungeons & Dragons", "Monster Hunter" and many more. It involves real, virtual, and classic excellent results. I believe you have already felt the results in the updated article.

In order to write a good plot for survival, I watched all of Bei Ye's survival documentaries, and I also knew about starvation. "Robinson Crusoe" was also rewatched.

Because the background of the novel involves ancient Europe, I read "History of the Middle Ages in Europe", "The Age of Knights - Medieval Europe", and "History of Medieval Life".

Among them, he also focused on "The Noble Symbolic Heraldic System", "Building a Castle", "Costume in the Middle World", "Reference Atlas of Foreign Architecture", "Castles in the Middle Ages", "Travels in the Middle World", and "Legend of the Medieval Knight".

Recently this week I started working on boats, especially European sailing boats. "The History of Sailing", "A Discussion on the Development of Sailing in the World", "The Basis of Shipbuilding Principles", and "Simple Shipbuilding" are all being read.

I tried to write the web article in detail. Fill in a lot of details, even if it is a fantasy text, there will be realistic theory filling, which will make it more realistic.

Speaking of which, I actually hesitated.

My past writing experience tells me that the first choice for opening a new book is actually to write a protagonist similar to Fang Yuan. You can write fantasy wizard streams, and this genre is actually very close to Xianxia Wen. Or write farming essays, I have a lot of descriptions of farming plots in "Gu Zhenren". Writing in this way is not tiring, and it also meets the expectations of book friends. At the same time, it's something I'm good at, so I don't have to worry about not being able to eat.

The second choice is to try new creations. I know it's risky. It's riskier than adopting a new power system and starting a genre. Because this time, I used a different writing logic.

I don't know the answer to the outcome, and I can't estimate it at all. But I know that book friends will have a conversion rate, and some book friends will think that I have changed, and they will find it not good-looking. The data can also be bad......

But in the end, I chose the second option.

Because I was worried that if I chose the first one, I would not be able to step out of my comfort zone.

And in the end, what prompted me to choose the second one was a realization that I was no longer young.

Guys, I've been writing books for many years.

Before, I used to stay up all night, and it wasn't a big deal. If you stay up late once now, you won't be able to stand it the next day.

When I sit for more than half an hour, I feel a sore back.

I also had rhinitis. It will be sent every time the season changes, which is very torturous.

I'm playing games now, and I don't always react in time. In a shootout, my hand is unstable. Overwatch: I used to be able to get to Gold, now I'm Bronze. I used to play Dota in college, and now I occasionally play Heroes of the Storm to remember my youth.

Games like Hearthstone and Plants vs. Zombies First Edition are becoming more and more suitable for me.

As I watched my grandparents pass away, watched my parents age rapidly, and watched my sons grow up rapidly, I felt that time was like the wind, and the sound of the wind became louder and louder in my ears. It's like sand in my hand, I clench it tightly, but it flows faster and faster.

Whenever I couldn't sleep at night, I felt a fire burning my increasingly fat belly and burning my thin bones like dry wood.

This fire makes me hungry.

This fire made me panic and impatient.

I know that this fire is my literary dream.

If you compromise this time, because you are afraid of the unknown, and seek the so-called security, go and choose the first option.

How many years will I have after that?

My youth is gone, and I don't have much time to squander it.

I'm not young anymore, guys.

And the dreams of literature in the past are burning more and more fiercely. I really felt that there was a desire to create, a desire to create something that met the standards of my heart, and it was pushing me strongly.

This time, I decided to take the plunge!

I left my youth to "Gu Zhenren", and I pinned my pursuit of literature on "Infinite Blood Core".

In fact, there are many people who have advised me - be safe, consolidate the godhead, take a big step, easy to twist your feet, easy to pull eggs.

Thank you for your care.

Smile.

6 years ago, I looked at the great god, I looked at platinum, I was very envious, I looked up.

Today, 6 years later, especially after experiencing the incident of "Gu Zhenren" being blocked, I am bearish.

Of course, I'm also vulgar, I'm also human, and I have to eat.

Godhead, I want it too.

But I understand: it is not my pursuit, nor should it be my shackles.

It's good if you have a godhead, forget it if you don't.

I am willing to be a small author, to pursue the literary dream that has always been there and gradually expanded. There is money in this dream, there is vulgarity, but it is more about literature.

As the Moon and Sixpence intended, I picked up a coin on the ground, then got up, looked up, and stretched out my hand. This time...... I want enough for the moon.

This is from the bottom of my heart.

So, Infinite Blood Core was a major challenge for me.

Challenging my determination, my writing, my structure, my new writing concept is tested for the first time in practice.

I've been all there for the past few months, and for now, to this end.

Again, I have to be honest, I have to tell you – as I said in the preface – that this is also a challenge for you!

Because this time, I adopted my creative concept, and the logical layer of writing has changed, so "Infinite Blood Core" does not have three golden chapters, and there is no rhythm unique to online articles. But you will see a more refined and unified overall structure of the novel, a large number of foreshadowing and echoes before and after, and many plot reversals that are caught off guard but are very reasonable when you think about it.

Because the entire structure adopts the creative methods of movies and stage plays, "Infinite Blood Core" is no longer the usual linear assembly line structure, and it will not be the appearance of the protagonist upgrading again and again, and the copies one after another. It's more like a script, and each big roll is a stage. For example, the stage of the first big volume is the island, so some book friends asked, why don't you leave the island yet? It doesn't exist in this book. The entire first volume is on this island.

Because of the pursuit of literary value, I will use a lot of delicate writing methods. If you don't write about the landscape and environment delicately, there is no style. If you don't write about the psychology of the characters in detail, you can't explore human nature. And when I actively explore human nature, there will be a problem - it is easy to be reported. So this book is equally risky. In this regard, I am sure you have already felt it.

The tragic fate of the brothers cyanobacteria and xanthophyllum is my exploration of human nature and the torture of the meaning of life. One of the characteristics of the protagonist of Needle Gold, which is different from most online protagonists, is that he has abundant psychological activities, he is constantly thinking about himself and torturing the soul, which is also my excavation of human nature and the development of literary value.

All of the above leads to the definition of climax in "Infinite Blood Core", which is different from most online articles. The usual climax of venting grievances and being looked down upon and trampled on people is also available in "Infinite Blood Core", but its real climax lies in the excavation of human nature and the exploration of how people get along. So the first climax of the book is around verses 66-70.

I have to admit that the book "Infinite Blood Core" was a big challenge for the creator and me.

For those who are familiar with online texts, there are also certain reading challenges.

I implore everyone to be a little more patient, a little more tolerant, a little more understanding, and a little less common expectation when reading.

Friendly reminder - only after reading the complete first large volume can it be easier to discover the unique flavor of the book "Infinite Blood Core". Of course, the current chapters are also relatively full, and when you read about 70 verses, you can also touch the soul corner of "Infinite Blood Core".

If you read these and think that I wrote well, or look forward to seeing a different online work, please genuinely support!

At present, "Infinite Blood Core" debuts at the starting point.

The book will be officially released on Friday, May 15.

Every genuine reading is a firm support and encouragement for me.

I especially need your support.

Because I know that there are not many readers who can accept the challenge, and even fewer who succeed in the challenge. The taste is indeed a little higher, and it will only be such a small number of people.

I'm also very eager to write about it this time. You can succeed in your own creative challenges.

If "Infinite Blood Core" is successful, it will be of great significance!

It allows me to see a new way, to write with better creative means, to create more in-depth, more brain-burning, and more exciting novels, and this novel still has a certain market, which can allow me to eat a bite of porridge and live.

It may also allow other authors to see that this path can be taken, and create more wonderful novels with both commercial value and literary value, which would be great!

Since the book was opened, I have rarely asked for votes.

This time, I would like to ask everyone, if you approve of this novel, please support me and vote for the recommendation of this book, monthly pass.

At the moment, what is most needed is the first order of this book. On Fridays, subscribing to the first VIP chapter released at 12 noon only costs a few cents, but this data is important for the book.

After all, in these years, the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys.

I know a lot of people are keeping this book, and now it's getting better and better. Of course, it's okay to continue to raise, and it's more refreshing to look at it again when it's enough. But I hope that in the process of raising books, book lovers don't forget to vote and remember to subscribe to the genuine version.

If you want to support me, please support me.

To love, please love deeply!

Gu Zhenren thanked him here.
