A small statement about this book
Poof, in fact, when it was over, I already thought that there would be excitement.
But I didn't expect everyone's resentment to be so big.
Let me talk about it in general.
Overall, the book is not unfinished, nor is it a hasty ending.
It's a lot of stories, and there's no way to write them.
I've been working on short stories before.
All the stories are in a small framework, so it will seem very simple, easy and manageable.
But the frame of the coffin is a bit big.
In this way, the limitations of the first-person perspective are very limited.
Let's put it this way.
All I can write in this book is "me (the main character)" that can be seen.
If you want to write the whole story, you can only let "me (the protagonist)" go through it one by one, or let others tell the protagonist.
But there are so many stories in this story that no one can tell the protagonist.
Because no one knows what their fate is all about, except for those who have experienced it firsthand.
If it were in the third person, I believe the book would not be as difficult as it is now.
But since Zixuan came to Black Rock, he has always been a first-person perspective. So I'm used to it, and I think I can control it when I open the book.
But later, it was too trivial to let the first person gradually participate in the small stories one by one.
It's like a lot of readers have said before, it's too watery......
Because there are a lot of things that you don't participate in in the end, and you can't play a decisive role.
Think about it, if the main character is really involved in everything and understands all the layouts, then I will have to spend a lot of time writing about many things. It's also with this in mind, so in the follow-up updates, I took the main line.
But in this way, the story structure is relatively simple, and the protagonist's experience is relatively reduced, which naturally results in a lot of things that are in the first person perspective and the protagonist has no way to experience. The protagonist has no way to experience it, which means that I can't write it down.
I'm really sorry, Zixuan's ability is average, and his level is limited. It's hard to get all the stories in parallel from a first-person perspective.
If you get involved one by one, the story will become very bloated, and the timeline will not be able to be sorted out.
The protagonist has to step into many possibilities to understand, so that the book is too short to say, and five million words should be very easy.
In this way, it's really not that I'm unhappy.
I couldn't be happier, and so was the editor.
Because the book has a good score, when the book was published, the editor told me that I can write as much as I can, even if I write the book to 10 million words, I can guarantee that I will never lose money, and the further I go, the more I will get relatively speaking.
But then the story that everyone sees is really bloated to the point where I feel outrageous.
From a first-person perspective, the larger the pattern, the more difficult it is to grasp, if it is just in a small world, you can encounter a lot of things, you can participate in.
But in the later mountains and seas, and later outside the party, there are too many things that the protagonist can't participate in one by one.
I also saw your grievances, and I also saw your dissatisfaction.
But all I could do was smile wryly.
Because I really don't know how to do the best solution.
Instead, now I need to think about whether the next book will be in the first person or the third person. The first-person sense of substitution is strong, but the perspective is narrow. Although the sense of substitution in the third person is weak, it is better to have a broad perspective and can describe many things that the protagonist can't see, so that the advantages will be more obvious.
In fact, if you read a lot of books, you should also understand some of the differences.
In fact, this break and adjustment will also be a long-term process, because in the continuous writing, I have realized my own shortcomings.
Finally, I'm sorry.
Disappointed everyone.
I will also try my best to adjust myself, and if I can have the next book, I will definitely try my best to do my best.
