Thank you letter to readers
First of all, thank you to all the readers who have always loved "The Legend of the Stars", thank you very much for your support!
The update of "The Legend of the Stars and Dust" will slow down in the future, and it won't be said that the pit will be deleted after all, if it is not updated for a long time, it may be deleted by the website? Because of the reason for going to work, it is okay to feel a little boring to write the same article for too long, and it will maintain a relatively slow update speed, I'm really sorry! But what is certain is that the story of "The Legend of the Stars" is still very long, and I have already thought about the content of the second part, so I just need to write.
Originally, the novel was based on a game of his own design, which is unlikely to come out with the current domestic system of repression of the game industry and the attitude of domestic game companies to make games. I put a lot of effort into describing the gameplay of the game at the beginning of the novel, so readers who read 200 chapters should be able to understand the mechanics of the game a little, right? Its design prototype is the popular chicken mode game last year, but the theme of eating chicken is not recognized by the above, so the game has added the design of "Star Warcraft", players do not necessarily have to kill all players to win, as long as other players before defeating each game of the Star Monster and possess its Star Soul for a period of time (may be designed for 5~10 minutes), within the specified time is not defeated by other players to keep the Star Soul Martial then you are the winner of this game, At the same time, in order to avoid the murder and treasure hunting theme prohibited above, before the Tiangang Cataclysm, no character was in the battle for the Star Soul Martial Arts to receive a bento, as long as they received a certain amount of serious injury, they would automatically enable the Feiyun Fu to leave the battlefield.
Including the rule that immortal cultivators can't kill people was originally set up for the game of river crabs, but later when I wrote the plot, I found that this "can't kill" is a wonderful setting, if all immortal cultivators can kill innocents indiscriminately like walking in the underworld at night, then there will be no order in mortal society. (Maybe you see some Xianxia, fantasy, Xiuzhen novels protagonists or high-level enemies casually kill tens of millions of mortals, but as long as you think about it, you will find that there are no mortals alive in such a background, unless they reproduce as fast as mosquitoes and cockroaches)
With the basic design template in hand, the next step is to expand the content, and when I was writing the first chapter of the novel, I was thinking about whether to write a single or group mode. In the single row mode, all players are your enemies (the same as eating chicken), and in this mode, the Star Monster is not strong, and the player alone can easily crusade, when you get the Star Soul Martial Arts, it will send a global announcement to the remaining players in the game and expose your location, other players will inevitably use the Flying Cloud Step to come to you from a long distance to try to snatch the Star Soul Martial and your Flying Cloud Step is naturally forbidden, but you are not without nothing to face the siege of all players, you can use the Star Soul Martial Arts you get back to greatly enhance your combat effectiveness! This is described in the novel "Ethereal Mountains and Forests, Surveying the Stars" in the protagonist Feng Shuang when he obtained the White Tiger Ice and Snow Sword, the initial debut of Feng Shuang was very weak, and he would only use the Red Maple Gate Sword Technique with very low skill requirements, it can be said that he could not beat any of the immortal cultivators present in that "game", and when he got the help of the Star Soul Martial Arts, he was still comfortable in the face of the surrounding masters.
Let's talk about the group mode, when the player starts the game with the same faction of characters, it is no longer a survival game of chicken, but a cooperative game, the star monster will be greatly enhanced in the group mode, and it will become difficult for a single player to go head-to-head, and the player's way to win is also changed to any member of his own team, after obtaining the star soul martial arts, as long as the teammates cooperate to hold the specified time and not be taken away, the whole team can win. The main descriptive mode used in the novel is the group mode, because in the first chapter, I can't think of a reason for the infighting between Maple Frost and Maple Rin, but the single row mode was still added to the novel by me, and the civil war with the same door is played out a lot on the characters of Feng Wuji, Emperor Xing, and Crazy Moth, and at the same time, I try to write a variety of ways to win, like Emperor Xing in the Bronze Emperor's Mausoleum with his strength to overturn all the competitors and win; Tang Hao, who had a relatively high level of strength, also won the victory by finding an opportunity to steal the Star Soul Martial by going to the end and immediately slipping away. Just like the game of Chicken, it is easier for a player with good marksmanship to eat chicken, but that doesn't mean that he will definitely be able to eat chicken, and the situation in the game is always changeable.
It's boring to say that there are too many things about the game.,Let's talk about the plot.,The content of the hundred chapters before the Tiangang catastrophe may be too focused on telling the game mechanics and gameplay.,Some plots serve the taste of game explanation.,The many immortal cultivators in it seem to have some plot intermingling only in each game.,This leads to a vacuum and no plot progress in the four-year period between each game (although there are small chapters of "Jianghu Anecdotes" for some content transitions, but it still gives people a weird feeling)
Since the big chapter of the Tiangang catastrophe, I have left the game to focus on the plot telling, so everyone has seen the debut of Kwai Yuan and the future palace fight chapter about the struggle for power in the mortal world, and before that, because the player of the game played the role of an immortal cultivator, there would not be too many descriptions of mortals, so the prelude is more about improving the entire story worldview, so that everyone can see the relationship between immortal cultivators and mortals, and how to live together on the basis of being human beings. By the way, at first, Kwai Yuan was not designed to be a contender for the emperor, she was conceived by me as a very kind princess, and the Emperor tortured her in various ways after knowing that she was the princess of the Kwai tribe who seized her dynasty, but she still did not resent the Emperor Xing, and finally the princess influenced the Emperor to help the Kwai Dynasty survive the catastrophe of the Tiangang Catastrophe. But later, the role of the probation emperor was changed to Qiluo mosquito, the reason was that when writing the Wanhua Butterfly Valley chapter, I felt that Qiluo mosquito was shaped into another black face and a bit of a villain, so Qiluo mosquito added his life experience and hooked up with the wandering emperor, although Qiluo mosquito looked like a little maid next to the emperor, funny and responsible, but it was her companionship that made the emperor's personality no longer manic and willing to listen to others, and then Kwai Yuan changed to a partner with the same ambition as the emperor.
And another big change in the Tiangang catastrophe is the bento, before I started to write, I have been struggling with whether to continue the river crab immortal or less dead people or a large number of bento? In the end, I chose the latter, because I wanted to downplay the game and focus on the plot, and in the previous chapters, I had described the horror of the Tiangang catastrophe destroying the world more than once, and if the Tiangang catastrophe ended without sacrifice by humans this time, wouldn't it slap my own face...... Therefore, there are many characters who have exited in the big chapter of Tiangang Cataclysm, and of course a lot of new characters have been added, and there will be new character background introductions when the second part is written.
"Tiangang Cataclysmic Day" was supposed to be a server-wide event in the game, and all players could use the Star Soul Martial Arts that won in the previous game at will, but they had to face the Tiangang Divine Beast, which was far more difficult than the Earth Demon Beast, and because the focus on the plot was greater than the game explanation, it was impossible to see the original design and gameplay......
It's almost the same thing I want to say.,Finally, let's talk about the role of Feng Wuji.,His shaping is the top of the combat power of the immortal cultivator in the whole text.,Handsome and martial arts.,The character is also very good.,Treat people very well.、Selfless.,Fighting with human immortal cultivators, regardless of the other party's good and evil, he will leave a hand and do not do his best.,There is no pursuit of fame and fortune.,So when competing with the sword and the goose, even if you know that the other party is cheating, you have no complaints, and the other party is willing to admit defeat.,And for saving people and crusading against the stars and monsters, I have always done my best.,It can be said that in the world, the "hero" One of the most well-deserved is Kaede Wuji. However, I feel that Feng Wuji doesn't seem to be popular in the hearts of female readers, because he "flirts with girls" everywhere but never settles on any woman who feels like a scumbag? Or is it that he left Feng Rin and didn't marry her, like a bad man who abandoned his wife and children? In fact, in the last chapter, I told a fact about Feng Wuji through Tang Ying's mouth, that is, no matter which female character he was with, he was a disaster to others, and Feng Wuji himself did not really love any female character who had an affair with him, including making a marriage contract with Feng Rin just so that Feng Chen and Feng Luo would no longer nag themselves all day about this matter, which was agreed with Feng Rin at the beginning, but at that time, Feng Rin was still young and still dreamed of being a girl, thinking that Feng Wu Ji would eventually go to the end with him, if there was no incident of his younger brother Feng Shuang's falling into the devil, Feng Rin may have to wait forever, after all, immortal cultivators can wait forever to get rid of birth, old age, sickness and death.
Feng Wuji uses reality as an analogy like a police officer who does his duty for the people, if you look at him as an outsider, you will think that he is a very good person, but if you look at him as his wife, you will feel that he is busy with construction work all night and does not take time to accompany him, and even when he makes a mistake, he will definitely stand on the side of the public and punish you ruthlessly, this may be the reason why you don't like Feng Wuji, right?
At the end, let's talk about the longevity of immortal cultivators.,Recently watched a classic old animation "Vampire Hunter D", very good-looking, I suggest you have time to make up for it, which at the end is a good show of the loneliness caused by the difference between the life span of the half-human and half-vampire male protagonist D and the female protagonist Layla, D is not with Layla, Layla also died as a human woman, D came to Layla's grave to see her last face in order to abide by the original agreement. In "The Legend of the Stars and Dust", the early plot does not have much concept of the theory of life because it focuses on describing immortal cultivators, but the appearance of Kwai Yuan in the back will make the plot experienced, when Kwai Yuan was in his fifties and old and gray-haired, the Emperor Xing was still handsome and young to meet him, of course, this is the plot of the second part.
