Testimonial: Hardship and hardship are successful

When I wrote the title, I really had mixed feelings in my heart, and now I can finally say frankly about my position in "Arcane": a science fiction novel under the category of fantasy and a fantasy skin, well, at least by the standards of the starting point, this is indeed a science fiction book.

At the beginning, I didn't know why I wanted to write such a strange book, but my love for popular science and science fiction since I was a child, my previous resentment against the eunuchs of "Future Library", and some things that I usually deduced from my imagination in a convulsive way, finally converged into the "Arcane Throne" you see.

It's a very strange book, as I define it myself, it has a complete setting first, and then the story and characters.

It is clearly based on the confrontation between the council and the church, the growth of Lucian, the development of arcane and music, and the change of society into several alternating main lines, but the dark main line has always remained the same, that is, the gradual exploration of the setting of the overall world, which should be regarded as a relatively rare writing structure arrangement.

Therefore, in my heart, the real climax of the arcane can be compared to the Jindan and the Yuan Shen in the Doom There is only one complete and three halves, one of which is when Lucien played "Destiny" for the first time, which is an outburst of the previous depressing and suffering life, a foreshadowing of the main tone of the whole book, and a melody throughout the whole text.

The second half, when Lucian helps Levsky and says that your eyes will deceive you, is a reflection of the regret and regret that many scientists have not been recognized before they die, and is the mathematical tone that runs through the entire arcane content.

The third half is in the "Burning Throne". Lucien proposed the general theory of relativity after the battle of Rentat, and Douglas looked forward to the starry sky, this is, well, this is the victory of the arcane, the opportunity for the Speaker's soul to become alive, and the detonation of most of the contradictions and conflicts in the early stage.

However, there is only one complete climax, which is the scene where Lucien's "mouth cannon" defeats Viken in the last moment, which is the bloom of the dark line of the whole book, that is, the real main line. Crossing the path. Discover the Library of Souls, see the Arcane journal for the first time, and know the strange beginning of the planet, the entire book is nearly three million words. Layer by layer. Layer upon layer. It's for the splendor and splendor of that moment.

To be honest, in order to write this book in such a strange structure, I have experienced or encountered many more difficulties than when I wrote about doom.

There will always be some people who scold me. Because the introduction of science into Western fantasy seems to have tarnished their "beliefs", in fact, there are many people who don't like arcane fantasy for similar reasons, but they are all rational and normal, after all, everyone has different tastes, you can't force it, just ignore each other, but there are always some mad dogs, self-centered guys, who always go black and spray over and over again for this reason.

There will always be people who question the unscientific here, and I don't know how to explain it, I obviously put the difference there, saying that it is a pit after that, but what can some people always turn a blind eye to, over and over again, "the loophole is really big", "completely collapsed", "garbage novel" scolded?

This is an external difficulty, and for me, it is only a momentary anger, there is no need to say a lot of words, you just need to tell your own setting and story little by little without hurry, and let the arcane shine as it should, you can prove everything, and doing is more important than talking!

In order to make up for the shortcomings accumulated after years of work, I spent more time reading reference books and materials, and spent more time on ideologies than I actually wrote.

What should I do if I feel dizzy and dizzy? Take a break and continue to read! People live a breath, the Buddha fights for a stick of incense, and the more ruthlessly others scold, the better I must write, and everyone's support also makes me dare not have any perfunctory responsibility, for fear of disappointing your love.

After writing the text, I really have a feeling of exhaustion, the whole person has an empty head, weak limbs, and no energy to do anything, but in addition to exhaustion, there is satisfaction, and finally the thing that I have been thinking about for a long time is presented in front of everyone more completely! Nearly three million words of narration, finally in the last scene, the whole text is through, and the whole arcane has a backbone!

It's not much "science" or "science fiction", but at least it's self-justifying in the arcane tone of the whole text, and it can deduce some details.

In fact, when Arcane was written later, many friends were surprised, whether it was readers or author friends, because it was only a year, and it seemed that it was about to end?

Many friends have told me that it will take at least one and a half to two years for the current work to maximize its value, so that readers can get used to following it, become hardcore, and lay a good foundation for the next book.

Many readers have also told me that they haven't read enough and want to see more.

Moreover, the game side of Arcane also hopes to be serialized at a rate of 100,000 words per month, that is, one chapter a day until September, to maintain its popularity, otherwise the game is likely to be unpopular at that time.

Moreover, the starting point here is that Nanami-kun is also helping me make radio dramas, information collection brochures, accessories, music collections and other peripherals, and I've been doing it for a while, so if I want to make it in May and June, and if I want to play the role of the peripherals, it's best to end it in September and October.

To be honest, I was really hesitant at the time, on the one hand, it was the love of Nanami-kun, and on the other hand, it was a lot of money in the game, who doesn't love it, but, at that time, I had already finished writing the necromantic world, and from the main line of the whole text, it was the last moment to solve the puzzle, and for the sake of the overall completeness, it was time for it to end, and I couldn't open a new map and give a new level, which simply didn't match the tone and atmosphere of the whole book.

At that time, I was not very happy with the development of the world and tried to start from this aspect, but in the end I found that the arcane system was contradictory to the adventure and the development of the world and the world world, so there was no way, what should I do or what, I had to give the arcane an ending that matched it enough, a "final battle" that I had thought about before writing the first word.

I'm not ambitious to write a classic, circulating novel, nor am I being high-minded. But I'm stubborn, I'm stubborn about being worthy of you who have subscribed to the arcane and voted for the arcane, and I'm going to give you a perfect orgasm in my heart.

This is my attitude towards Arcane, and it is also my attitude towards writing!

I know very well that I don't have the genius of many authors, nor do I have the speed and ability to explode ten more, and even before writing about the doom, I have written articles except for 800-word essays. It's hard to say if there are 5,000 words in total. When I was studying, I was also good at mathematics and physics, not Chinese writing, so I didn't have any capital to squander. I can only treat each book with the utmost sincerity. Write with your heart. To learn, to absorb, to correct. Only in this way can I go far and walk steadily!

Therefore, every time I write a chapter, the pre-scrutiny and post-event revision are equal to or even exceed the writing time, so I can go from the sloppy writing at the beginning of the extinction, to the middle and late stages of the extinction, and then to the basic level of the arcane, so that I can recognize my own shortcomings, make up for them with my heart, and make progress slowly but continuously.

This attitude is the capital I rely on to live and live, the only capital, so I can only choose to end it in the best way, and don't think about anything else, even if it will lose a lot of opportunities, even if it will be because the book is not long enough and the fan cohesion is not enough, I don't have any regrets, I just feel sorry for Daoye, Starfish MM, Aoyama-kun and Nanami-kun for their love, and the efforts they have made for it.

I believe that even if the next book does not do well for various reasons, as long as I always hold such an attitude and such a belief, then the next book, and then the next book, I will eventually return to the current position on the monthly ticket list, or even stand higher!

Luckily, things turned around.

Thanks to Dao Ye and the game party for their understanding, thank you to Qingshan-kun and Kangaroo-kun for their hard work, so, after the end of the text, you must write a few novellas, at least one chapter a day to serialize until September.

Originally, after I finished writing the Olympics, I was exhausted, and I wanted to rest for three months and then prepare a new book, but now, people understand it this way, and I can't be shameless, and I can write a lot of extras, so, friends who are willing to read extras, starting from April 10th, a chapter is updated at 8:50 every morning, for everyone to pass the time before going to work, before that, I have to ask for leave to go home to the grave, by the way, rest and recuperate, do some personal chores.

Initially, I have already thought of two extra ideas and stories, both of which are about 100,000 words, and the first one is about twenty or thirty years later, shrouded in the shadow of Lucian, uh, no, the "arcane industrialized" society in the halo, there will be many supporting characters in the text, and it can be regarded as giving them a side ending.

The second side is the "secret history" of the establishment of the Magic Council recorded from the perspective of another magician in the late Dawning War.

In addition, there may be two extras, but for the time being, there are only ideas, no specific stories, and then I will make a preview after writing the first two.

Having said that, this is a summary of the routine, and there is no doubt that you have to praise yourself first.

First, compared to the end of the day, Arcane has improved in character creation, at least Natasha, Rhine, Etna, Felipe, Fernando, Douglas and others have their own personalities and different temperaments; second, the writing has improved; third, they have a better grasp of the beginning and the end, and their storytelling ability is better; fourth, the entire arcane system has not collapsed, and the headshot is quite innovative; fifth, many of the plots are very good, and I feel most satisfied with the part of the Nightmare King when Xiaolu sends the letter to the Dark Mountains, the part of the Nightmare King outlines the soul with dreams; fifth, the changes in society are outlined from the perspective of small people, showing the overall arcane society, which happens to be one main and one auxiliary with the essay line, complementing each other。

There is still a lot of self-praise to be given, but this is not the point, the point is to summarize the problem and correct the problem.

The most important deficiency also lies in the creation of characters, due to the strangeness of their own real main line setting, and due to the system of improving the strength of the paper, Lucian's progress is very fast, and the progress is very fast, so that the supporting characters can't keep up, and many of the more brilliant characters who were initially created gradually can't keep up, there is no role, or they are slowly face-painted, and even Natasha, the heroine, can't find the opportunity to "bloom" her light for a while, and she only "reluctantly" returns after the last.

I have long been aware of this problem, but I can't deliberately suppress the arcane line, so I can only accumulate a lot of difficulties, of course, there is also a relationship that my own character shaping skills are not enough, and I need to summarize, refine and learn well.

The second shortcoming, but also the flaw of the setting itself, here the arcane line is an academic debate, leisurely with intense, no matter the atmosphere, character building, or environment, it is incompatible with the adventure line, which makes it difficult for me to write an adventure plot to bring out the atmosphere, it seems messy, it seems that the whole plot is unnecessary, it doesn't matter, in this case, the fight is naturally difficult to write.

The third, or this problem, caused the world to be unable to expand, so I could only focus on the three places of Aalto, Alinge, and Rentat, after all, in the case of arcane arts, if the path was out of the road for a long time, it would definitely be spurned.

Fourth, magic fighting is weak, not as easy as Xianxia.

Fifth, there are problems with the setting of a small part of the plot and it does not achieve the desired atmosphere, in comparison, when the "silver and white horns" were in front, the overall atmosphere was set off.

There are a lot of other bits and pieces of problems.,I'll summarize it myself slowly.,When I write for more than four months,I'll start preparing a new book.,The theme of the new book is Xianxia.,There's no problem with fantasy.,A small part is more classical.,Most of them,How to say it.,When the time comes, I'll know the way.,Anyway, it's a brain-opening product.,I hope that from the setting, we can avoid some problems with arcane in the characters and plot advancement.。

Many of these episodes I already have a belly case, which makes me very excited and reverie, and in the same way, I need a lot of knowledge and information to make up for it, and when the time comes, in September and October, we will set off again!

After the last,April 10th,Friends who like to watch outside the fan, please continue to support,After that, the entity and peripherals will be launched one after another。

After the most and the last, thank you to those who accuse me, curse me, and look down on me, and thank you for the many hardships and hardships along the way, so that I can polish my own brilliance step by step.

Thank you for being nothing.

Squid worships.
