Some sincere words written before they hit the shelves (read them)
On April 1st, April Fool's Day, the book "The Richest Man" will be on the shelves.
In fact, about the achievements of this book, to be honest, it has not been very good, from the opening of the book to the present, Lao Jian has indeed experienced confusion, frustration, and loss, and now at this moment, it can be regarded as a heart like water.
Of course, the main reason why books are not popular in the market is me.
But I have to tell you that I put a lot of thought into the setting and the construction of the world framework in this book, not to mention the basics of the map and cultivation system, I even wrote the main map of the first three volumes, the chronicle of the Great Xuan Dynasty, well, the outline and the setting together, almost a full four pages.
But so what?
Should pounce or pounce.
From the time the book was published to the present, readers have abandoned a chapter, all kinds of brainless sprays, and the brainless black of the peers, the old sword has been through it all, I have never been a glass heart, I feel very normal for these, what really disappoints me is-
I'm starting to doubt myself.
Yes, in the early days of my conception, I always thought it was a wonderful story, or shamelessly, judging from the outline of the second volume of "Immortality of Empires", I thought it was quite an epic weight, and I was fully confident that I could write the kind of royal road that reigned over the world and the tragedy of the hero's end.
It's a pity that all the development is contrary to my hope.
Except for a small number of hardcore book lovers, this book has been abandoned by most readers after all......
So, as a newcomer to the Internet, I began to frantically study the fire books and bestsellers on the list, and during this time, I can be regarded as having figured out a lot of routines and experiences.
Yes, as I learn more and more about the trends and hot spots of online articles, the more I feel that the story I am writing now is rubbish.
You may be able to see from my style of writing that I have hardly been exposed to online literature before, and what I read the most are some traditional martial arts novels and physical urban novels.
So, not counting the previous articles that were updated in Tieba Entertainment, this book with more than 200,000 words is really Lao Jian's first book.
Lao Jian is born in the 90s, neither big nor small, and his ability to accept new things and create brain holes is still at the peak. So I can say that my next book, if not excellent, is at least ten times better than this one.
Therefore, there has always been a voice in my head, telling me, cut it, these years, you are not the only one who has entered the palace, and the outline setting of tens of thousands of words, delete it, anyway, it's all rubbish, no one reads it.
But I didn't in the end.
Even when I was at the bottom of my mood in the past two days, I honestly coded out a chapter according to the outline.
What made a street-fighting author firm in his mind and cut off the dream of entering the palace?
It's you.
It's you who are holding your mobile phone and seeing you here word by word!
For this old, depressing, and uncool online article, you can tolerate and stick to this point, you are not only Shennong, but also an angel, you know?
It's my angel who fights the streets.
I don't know if you have followed the book friends from the first week of the book?
If there is, there should be an old sword kowtow here, please accept it.
Let's go back to the book "The Richest Man", although I also think that this book is very rubbish in business, but after all, it is my own child, I still don't say it responsibly, the plot behind it is very good.
I can't sleep for a while, so let's talk about the current characters by the way.
Protagonist: I've always been ambitious about his character, and in the early stages of the story, he's an out-and-out tease of the weak, but he has one advantage, he's an ordinary "person" in the true sense of the word.
What is an ordinary person?
When he bought a shop for the first time, he would forcibly pretend to be with an intermediary for the sake of face because he was shy in his pocket.
When he saw Bi'er in the Fengxian Tower being locked in an iron cage, although he sympathized, his first reaction was to leave this place and never be involved.
But when he saw Bi'er being tortured and killed, the righteous attribute hidden in his heart as a "human" was stimulated again, although his standing up was also based on his judgment of his own safety.
Although this paragraph was abandoned by countless readers, leaving messages to the Virgin, Lao Jian never thought of changing half of the sentence.
Yes, I prefer him before me to the blackened protagonist, because he is closer to us, and the "demon" in his heart has not yet been stimulated, and he is more like a "person".
Attentive readers can probably feel that even after blackening, the ruthless protagonist, he often falls into confusion, and the goodness in his heart will occasionally come out to make trouble, so he is still not strong enough, and he still does not look like a world-famous - big man.
In the second volume of the story of "The Immortality of the Empire", you will see the protagonist's all-round growth, his heart, realm, and concept of good and evil, and then he will become the existence in the title of the book, the richest man in the empire.
Let's talk about Yun Zheng.
He is the saddest, most depressing, and most endured character in this book.
Such a character who has no cool points can't be the protagonist for the rest of his life. (Joke)
His strength comes from the tempering of hell, and he has never tasted defeat in his life, but he has never tasted the taste of being treated sincerely.
He has always lived for others, for an illusory dream, he practiced swords, killed people, made money, all of which he wanted.
And in his heart, he just wants to be a pure and quiet swordsman.
As for his origins, it will probably be fully revealed later in the second volume, of course, if Old Sword can write there.
At that point, he will taste his first major defeat (with a slight spoiler, he will be defeated by one of the characters who appeared earlier in the book)
After that, he would remove the blindfold from his right eye, and that moment, I promise, would be a very exciting scene.
Of course, his life story will also be revealed at that moment.
At the end of the second volume, the protagonist will help him find the "sword" in his heart, and truly live for himself.
The story thus enters the plot of the third volume "The King Doesn't See the King".
......
As for Bi'er and Yun Zheng, there is no doubt that they must have met before, and I won't spoil them here, but I estimate that some readers with big brains have probably guessed a general direction.
Wing King: He's a charismatic character, and he'll have a lot of roles in the second volume, when everyone gets to see all the faces of the black-bellied prince.
In short, in this story, each of the main supporting characters lives for their own beliefs, and they are never tools to cooperate with the protagonist's coercion (maybe that's why this book hits the streets). )
That's all for now.
Ladies and gentlemen, if we can witness the story of the second volume together, I will write a detailed review of the characters at that time, which is better than the main text, because the second volume is really beautiful.
......
Thousands of words into one sentence, on the shelves on April 1st, everyone can support it, subscribe to it, genuine readers are few to a certain extent, there are probably no good stories to see in this world.
Therefore, the student party book friends also hope to support the first order.
In addition, Lao Jian is a straightforward person, and I treat the book friends who can see this place as if they were confidants and friends, so I have nothing to say.
If the subscription is passable, Lao Jian will naturally write this book wholeheartedly, and it is necessary to update it more stably and steadily, but even if the subscription is bleak, I will not be a eunuch, what Lao Jian promised you, I still remember.
Therefore, even if it is a daily update, or even a weekly update, I will finish this story.
In addition, I don't hide it from everyone, these days, I have conceived a new book, which is the theme of the other world and the city, and the style of writing is the most popular relaxed and witty at present, if the book "The Richest Man" is too popular, Lao Jian will definitely choose the "double open" new book, it is not easy for everyone, as a confidant, you must understand.
Of course, what I hope more is that the richest man can get up, I also love this story very much, Shuangkai is really tiring.......
