Chapter 1 Intermediate Summary
readx;
To put it simply, I drank quite a bit of alcohol today. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Also because of the drinking, drunk but not yet unconscious, so I plan to share some experiences about the author with readers today. Everyone also knows that "what kind of experience is xxx?" is a certain body, as a person who basically does not answer any questions, but will look at other answers, still knows.
There's a reason why this gibberish is called a "half-level summary", because more than half of the content of the novel "Moon Shield" is written. As for more than half, this is another reason, (at least in the author's eyes, at most more than three-fifths, or possibly more than half).
For a novel that may be cut in half in terms of topic selection and may be stillborn, "Moon Shield" is still strong enough. Why is it strong? Because there are two aspects, for a while its author has been holding on and not giving up easily, and second, because the editors of Zongheng.com also think that it is necessary to exist.
In fact, for the author, whether a work can be published or not is definitely more important than any other outcome. If you don't get the contract of the editor of Zongheng.com, maybe every reader won't be able to see this nonsense, and it will be impossible to see the immature "Moon Shield". So in the current era, sometimes a person who gives you a chance is more important than that opportunity, after all, Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have.
But for me, it's not that Bole is the most important thing. "Moon Shield" did not get many recommended positions, perhaps it has something to do with the content, the subject matter, the writing skills, the author's qualifications, and the right time, place and people. But none of this has hindered the author's determination to continue writing the story, as he said at the beginning of the "Suggest Readers Read It", this novel will not be a half-work for the author, it will have an ending. This ending will not be based on a bad ending or a eunuch (in fact, the editor had already proposed a similar proposal at the beginning of the year), it will eventually have its own ending.
Regarding the ending of "Moon Shield", in fact, the author has planned it for a long time, but when the plot is written by the author, no one, including me, can tell what the ending will be. One thing is for sure, it is closely related to the two protagonists, Fidel and Avi.
Speaking of the two protagonists, at the beginning, the editor asked me about the two protagonists of the novel "Moon Shield" - who is the real protagonist, after all, most novels only have one male protagonist, but I wrote about the two people at the beginning of the novel.
This is not a good thing for the consideration of getting an editor's recommendation, but the author himself did it anyway. After all, the reason for this is because the story I set up at the beginning needs to be narrated by two protagonists at the same time. If you only have one protagonist, it is difficult to use two perspectives (in fact, multiple perspectives, such as Miranda...). to tell the story and the world I want to tell.
As a novice web writer, such a start is difficult and difficult to gain trust. Actually, for me, I don't think there is any difference between online writers and traditional writers, after all, people like me who want to write stories can find the best platform to write stories is the Internet. So I threw myself into online novels without hesitation, not so much as online novels, but rather the transformation of creative novels. Ancient or past novels were written with a pen and written on words, while online novel writers like me typed the text with a keyboard and recorded it in an online document. In fact, it's just a difference in tools, but many of the current "online writers" are also not actually different from the writers of ancient times, as long as you express something.
Of course, many readers will think that the things expressed by online authors are far less profound than those of classic classics, but there are also some online authors who do not want to write profound stories, they just want to write stories. Who can be 100% sure that the authors of the stories you regard as classics have those profound meanings in mind at the beginning of their creation, and that is not the meaning interpreted by the Chinese teacher?
Well, seeing this, there will definitely be many readers who are annoyed, thinking that Xie Fan, the author of this book, is really drunk. But I also feel relieved, at least the readers here must be readers of this book, after all, there are not many people who can put up with my verbose narrative style, and I think "Moon Shield" is such a style.
Then one word comes to mind – long-winded Creator. This title is the most appropriate for "Moon Shield", after all, even the author of the author will find in several drafts that the author of this novel is really verbose and verbose. Compared with what I personally think is a good novel, "Moon Shield" will always use multiple perspectives to analyze one thing and dissect a concept. For online readers who are accustomed to reading the flow of writing, it must be as uncomfortable as being forked by the fire fork of hell.
But.
But I'm going to keep writing it down, in my own way :)
About this thing.
I'm sure it will be improved in the next novel - one might wonder that this author named Xie Fan has plans for a second novel?
I can tell you responsibly that there is. And unlike this one, which is set in the European Middle Ages and involves magic, the second novel will be a new attempt. To some extent, when I was writing Moon Shield, I didn't think that I would always write fantasy novels, after all, it is a difficult thing to choose a foreigner's name, and their surname and first name are different, which requires a lot of brains.
So my second novel in the future (one year or two years?) will use the Chinese name as the name of the protagonist, so that it is easier for readers to remember - I have many characters, but not a distinct personality?
Well, I'll admit that, after all, I don't think I'm good enough, and that's something I really want to improve.
Drunk and sober, in fact, not drunk at all... Self-control is something I've always been proud of, after all, I don't want to let my sanity be lost somewhere, even for a moment.
Regarding experience, the short and medium-sized mini-stories that have been written in the past cannot be a driving force for long novels, and writing novels of more than a million words on the Internet is different, it is completely different. This difference made it difficult for me to move forward, but after a certain amount of perseverance and writing the story according to the outline, I gradually embarked on a "smooth" path.
However, because it is much more laissez-faire, some plots of the novel "Moon Shield" seem unreasonable. These so-called irrationalities seem to me to be inevitable results, but they are not pits, nor are they things that destroy the structure of the plot, they will eventually be solved by me, and then enrich the plot of the whole novel.
Even my best friend couldn't give a better opinion on the plot, after all, the author himself is very subjective, and his sense of autonomy has developed to the point where it can't be overstated.
About the characters, the characters are interesting, and this kind of fun is what the author wanted to invest in at first, but it turned out not to be satisfactory.
In fact, as early as the second volume, I wanted to make a table of characters and put it in the "body related" section, so that readers can easily understand the characters whose names are translated into English. After all, according to my personal statistics, there are more than 200 characters in the novel "Moon Shield", and these characters are definitely characters with names and plots. To the reader, they are like the stars in the sky, and they simply can't write them all down.
However, the author has a "character excel"!, which documents all the characters who appear in the story. Each character has a plot, appearance, and deeds to be introduced, and when he dies in the plot, his name will be changed by the author!
So, while reading my novels, it's a difficult thing to remember the names of the characters, remember the characters, and then correspond to the plot, and it's something I didn't notice from the beginning. Here, the author himself, and I, need to apologize to the readers of "Moon Shield", if possible... You'd better try to memorize it!!
The complaints, feelings, sharing, and what I want to say are almost over here. These things are not aggrieved in the author's heart, but tonight I have a new perspective on certain things, so I hope to find a place to record it with some words. It's like "some words with feelings", and it's the same with feelings. And the "some words sent by feeling" related to the text are indeed sent by feeling.
About the author.
I'm a simple person, and it's simple because my original intention in writing a story is simple, that is, to write a story that I want to write. I say it's simple, because in my eyes, life is very simple, and there are not many complicated things.
But I'm also a complicated person, and those complexities are things that I encounter in life, and those things don't necessarily appear in "Moon Shield".
Finally answer some questions from readers and friends.
Q: Why the dual protagonists?
A: Because the story needs it - actually because of the author's dual personality...
Q: Your novels haven't been on the shelves!
A: Of course, if the grades are not good or the writing is not good, it can't be put on the shelves, and I only write stories, so it's better to leave the matter of how to sell novels to professionals.
Q: Why didn't you build a readership?
A: Actually, I'm quite lazy, the readership will give people a sense of responsibility, and I'm afraid of taking on any responsibility, and the readership is not very large, so it's good now...
Q: How long will this novel be written? The maximum number of novels searched for on the vertical and horizontal network is more than 200w words!
A: It's hard to know for sure, because I belong to the author who believes in the plot after setting the characters, personalities, and endings. Therefore, the original set end word count is estimated to be unattainable, and it may be 15%-30% more than expected.
One final word... This "mid-level summary" may be revised from time to time, after all, it is an accident.
