The first volume is finally finished. Thank you very much for your continued support.

I have to say that writing a book part-time is a very laborious thing. Recently, because of my busy work, I often code words in the middle of the night, I feel tired, and my hair has fallen out a lot.

However, in recent times, subscription performance has also been steadily rising. Pudding's mood can be said to be tired and happy.

The first volume of this book is written in a "light and dark line" style. Two months before the book was opened, Pudding prepared a more detailed outline.

On the one hand, when I read the book, I like the suspenseful reversal of the plot, the emotional outburst after the long foreshadowing, and the shocking feeling when the mystery is revealed in the grand layout;

But on the other hand, now there are a large number of online articles, and the pace is getting faster and faster, for new authors who have no readership, if there are no attractive highlights and cool points at the beginning, it is likely to be the life of the street, and it is even difficult to sign a contract.

In order to find a balance between personal preferences and subscription results, Pudding made a small attempt with the help of this volume.

The "bright line" of this volume is the process of the protagonist slaying demons and getting stronger, in which "cultivation", "task", "harvest", and "daily" alternate, forming a relaxed and cool rhythm.

The "dark line" of this volume is naturally the layout and planning secretly carried out by the Kongxuansan people in order to promote the ghost king.

The "bright line" and "dark line" advance in parallel as the story develops.

During this period, the "dark line" quietly surfaced many times, and it formed a foreshadowing.

For example, the "rat play" in chapter 64, the "books gnawed by rats and moths" mentioned in chapter 71, the hint of the identity and strength of the hunchbacked old man in chapter 135, and the discussion of "name" and cause and effect in chapter 155......

And several of the larger events in this volume—the Lu family's murderous mansion, the ruins of Laoshan Mountain, and the disaster of the Nine Infants—are also closely related to the "dark line".

Eventually, in the last few chapters of the volume, the "dark line" comes to the light completely, collides violently with the bright line, and the suspense is revealed, forming a climax.

Pudding is still quite satisfied with the first volume, and basically wrote out the original plot concept. Compared to when it was put on the shelves, the average order has almost doubled.

Of course, there are many shortcomings.

First, I'm not very good at writing big scenes of battles and disasters - Pudding's pen power as a new author is limited, and the section of the Nine Baby Snake Demon is very difficult to write, and he didn't write the kind of despair he wanted to destroy the world (maybe because Pudding was soft-hearted and reluctant to send a knife), and finally he could only delete a planned battle plot and enter the confrontation stage with the empty Xuansan people in advance. In this regard, I will have to read more books of the great gods and learn more in the future.

Second, the rhythm of the long story is not quite perfect. When a major event is over, the follow-up connection is not handled very well.

For example, after the "Lu's Murder House" case, the protagonist came into contact with high-level things, and the emotional tone of the story also changed to a certain extent. At this time, when I returned to Yishui County, it was difficult to enter the relaxed and refreshing rhythm of alternating "tasks" and "daily life" before. It's not right to write it myself, and I lost some of it. In the end, two small cases were deleted, and the progress of the plot was accelerated, so that the feeling was restored.

Third, pudding math is not very goodQAQ At the beginning, in order to make the background of the story more realistic, I checked a lot of salary and price information during the Ming Dynasty, but in the process of borrowing, I was dizzy...... So a lot of numbers were blurred in the future.

In the future, we should try to avoid these problems and strive to write better.

The first volume is called "Don't Use the Hidden Dragon", which comes from the Book of Changes, which is the first line of the Qiangua, which means "the hidden dragon, temporarily do not display talents", which is a metaphor for things at the beginning of development, although the momentum is better, but relatively weak, so we should be cautious and not rash.

It matches the protagonist's situation, state of mind, and "stability-seeking" style in the first volume.

In fact, after writing the first volume, Pudding really wanted to take two days off to sort out the follow-up details, but unfortunately this month because of illness and overtime used up the leave note (tears), so he could only hurry up and continue writing.

Updated normally tonight, by the way, ask for a monthly pass! (According to the previous commitment, every 400 monthly passes this month will be updated with a chapter, and the additional changes will be carried out in October)

The next volume of "Seeing the Dragon in the Field", everyone is looking forward to it! Read 10,000 volumes
