Some thoughts after writing chapter 259

When I first conceived the whole story, I expected that the first half of the book would be difficult - and it was.

Because many readers don't know a new author, when they encounter a seemingly unreasonable plot, their first reaction is that the author's IQ is too low. Few people would have thought that these might all be the holes dug by the author.

There are too many examples of this, such as when Donner first came to another world, and did nothing for ten years - even considering the isolation of the island of Lant and the fact that the protagonist is just a child, there are still people who say that this is not reasonable, or that this is too cowardly.

For example, some people say that you can't write otherworldly novels like you do with the units and calendars on Earth.

When I saw such a voice, I could only shake my head and smile bitterly, or occasionally justify two sentences: I write like this, and it has a deep meaning.

Well, now that some of the 258 chapters have finally been revealed, well, there may be all sorts of more amazing and bizarre reasons.

When I wrote this book, I was probably influenced by two writers, and I would like to mention that I should be credited - people should not care about my credits.

The first writer was the hard science fiction writer, Hal Claremont.

Seeing the current friends, you should already know that this world is not a slope, but a saucer-shaped planet (not so extreme, more like a flat hamburger), this idea originated from Hal Claremont's "Gravity Mission".

When I read Claremont's hard science fiction, I had the idea that if there was a planet with different gravity, creatures of different sizes would live in different latitudes. For example, dwarves live near the poles, and giant dragons live near the equator, which may be quite an interesting world.

Years later, I was finally able to put this idea into practice.

Of course, on the saucer-shaped planet in "Gravity Mission", the difference in gravity between different latitudes is even more exaggerated, and the reason for the formation of the planet's shape, the high-speed rotation, is also completely different from the world of "knights to the north and mages to the south".

Another novelist is Keigo Higashino. I remember a long time ago, when I read "Malice" about a quarter of the way through, I realized that it was all a lie.

This kind of astonishment and shock is also the tone I set when I wrote this little book - you can see the real world only when you cut through the fog - but wait a minute, what you think is real may also be false.

Well, having said that, I would like to thank my friends who have always supported this book, without your support, I might have given up a long time ago.

Thank you!(To be continued.) )
