First of all, I would like to thank the reader "Amaha Ma" for giving some ideas about the confusion of the chapters, and after discussing with this enthusiastic reader, I decided to change the chapter titles to ease the readers' jumping feeling when reading. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Of course, the discussion with "Tenyu Ma" also made me feel the need to explain to readers the idea and original intention of the chapter design.

First, let's talk about the original design of the chapter.

The author himself grew up watching Western chivalric literature, "Dragon Lance", "The Wheel of Time", "The Lord of the Rings", "A Song of Ice and Fire", "The Witcher", "Rhodes" series (although this series was written by Japanese, it is still full of medieval knightly fantasy) and even the official novels of the Warcraft and Baldur's Gate series of games, especially the "Ice and Fire" and "Rhodes" series have had the greatest influence on me. Because I was addicted to the uncertainty and fun of reasoning brought by POV when reading "Ice and Fire", I chose to boldly try POV writing at the beginning of "Sword and the Sigh of the World", and each chapter starts from the perspective of different characters to show readers what they have experienced and the world they know. Of course, as a rookie author, my writing level and ability to control are far inferior to those fantasy writers I admire, and some chapters break the rules of POV in the eyes, so "Sigh" will look like a "semi-POV and not POV defective product", which eventually led me to choose not to add chapter names and leave the judgment of the viewpoint characters completely to the reader. This proved to be extremely unwise, and Tenba's comments on "Sighs" made it clear that not specifying the characters greatly increased the reading burden, making him have to guess who the protagonist was in each chapter. In order to give readers a better reading experience, I will add the names of the viewpoint characters to the titles of all chapters as soon as possible to facilitate readers' reading.

Next, let's talk about the design ideas of the chapter.

The jumping between chapters in Sigh is extremely serious, because I chose time as the logical source of the chapter design, and the order of the chapters is actually in chronological order of the worlds in the book. We all know that a world is happening so many different things at the same time, and the same is true of the world in the novel. I didn't choose to focus on a single person to tell his story, but to extract the more important events from the "many events that happened at the same time" or those that are closely connected to the main story line, and tell them from the perspective of the main characters in the events, so as to use the fragmented and fragmented plot to build the whole world. What I hope is that fragmented stories and uncertain judgments can build the world in the reader's mind, and at the same time make the reader think about events that are not explicitly stated in the book, because when the reader has an independent judgment about certain events or characters, it is interesting for me and the reader to confirm or disprove the reader's ideas.

Since we talk about characters, we have to mention the main character. But who is the main character in Sighs? My answer is -- there is no protagonist, or everybody is the protagonist. This idea still comes from some of the feelings that "Ice and Fire" brought me, at first I thought Ed was the main character, then he was beheaded, and then I took a fancy to Ed's eldest son, unfortunately he died at his own wedding, and there are many similar characters in "Ice and Fire", which shocked and saddened me by their deaths. I think this kind of psychological change is what readers want from the book, after all, no one has so much time to waste on mundane stories. And I believe that a good novel doesn't have to have one or a few protagonists, and when each character in the book is made flesh and blood to impress the reader, then the book will naturally succeed.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone who has supported Sigh. I hope everyone can talk to me about their thoughts on books, characters, and stories, and I'm happy to listen to your opinions, and I'm happy to make "Sigh" better.
