Chapter 13: Fantasy Fantasy
1. Fantasy class
This is the category with the largest number of works at the starting point, and it is also the most hodgepodge category, most of the works can be called "fantasy", and even at some point, to say that the work is a fantasy genre is to say nothing, because this book is fantasy.
Such a huge amount of works, which means that fantasy works have the largest readership, and at the same time, they are also the easiest to be old-fashioned, the easiest to drown in the sea of books, for newcomers, this is a relatively easy category to get started, but if you want to get ahead, you have to use your brains, in the general direction of clichés, out of your own new ideas, that is, the second mode mentioned above, old bottles of new wine.
Fantasy is a big category, but for newcomers, if you choose the fantasy type, then it is more appropriate to take a small route, small abilities, small people, small stories, small fights, slightly new, such works may not be able to become popular, but the easiest to get ahead, very suitable for newcomers to take the first step. In fact, such a work can even be mass-produced.
Because fantasy types have a lot of similarities to urban abilities, you can refer to the description of urban abilities below for more details.
2. Fantasy class
This is a traditional category, a few years ago, fantasy was even one of the best categories, equivalent to the status of fantasy now, at that time it was a fantasy mode in this book, it was a world of swords and magic, and there were elves, dwarves, and dragons in the book...... And now, the fantasy genre has gradually declined, although there are still a certain number of works, but they are often the genre that is not popular, and there are fewer and fewer fantasy works that can perform well commercially, and its status has been completely replaced by the fantasy genre.
For newcomers, this genre can be tried, but it is not very suitable, because compared with Oriental fantasy, the number of readers and acceptance of Western fantasy are far lower, and writing this kind of work is a bit thankless.
If you have a special preference for fantasy and read the most of this genre, I think it's okay to write about it, but there are a few things to keep in mind.
First, you have to be prepared to be on the street, and you have to be mentally prepared to expect the work to end dismally.
Second, you have to make it clear that you're writing pseudo-fantasy, not authentic orthodox fantasy. Fantasy works have a large market in the West, but this does not mean that it is also feasible in the East, because of the differences in the cultural background of the East and the West, the social composition that readers are familiar with, the familiar knowledge and etiquette system, the familiar language style, Even the familiar name system is very different, if you write completely according to the model of Westerners, then not only the background of the novel is more difficult for readers to accept, but the language of the novel will also cause a lot of reading difficulties, if someone says that the fantasy he writes is accepted by readers without any obstacles, then obviously, what he writes is not authentic, and if it is really authentic, then it will inevitably have a certain impact on popularity.
So, if you still want your work to be a hit, don't stare at the orthodox fantasy system, don't limit your work to any DND rules, or any other rules, you can read the popular Subscribe to some of the highest fantasy titles, see what their settings look like, and then write with similar settings, because, at least, these works have become popular, these settings have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, have a wide mass base, and it will obviously be easier to follow in the footsteps of those who came before you.
Third, try to focus on personal heroism, unfold the story around the protagonist, and highlight the ability and role of the protagonist according to the traditional YY model, don't think about writing big scenes, don't think about writing epic works, that's just looking for servants.
Fourth, you can consider adding elements such as time-travel, such as setting the protagonist as an Oriental who has traveled to a fantasy world, he can be a modern student, an ancient knight, or an Oriental immortal, in short, he must have an Oriental identity background, and have Oriental living habits and thinking patterns. This is not necessary, but if you add this element on the basis of the original work, it will greatly increase the popularity of the work. In fact, making such a change will not affect the original story structure much, it is enough to add a short description or explanation of the time travel at the beginning, and intersperse some small details from time to time in the later text to show the oriental atmosphere of the protagonist.
The author has something to say
The rise of fantasy works began with Huang Yi, and there have been great changes now, but to chase its essence, we still have to look back at Huang Yi and experience what is fantasy and what is illusion.
And fantasy, my first recommendation of blue crystal works - this great god used to be called blood coral.
In fact, the classification of various stories is more in terms of imagery and scenes, when the reader gets a book and says that it is the xx category, his brain will produce a kind of stereotyped thinking, the more books that fit this classification, the stronger the stereotyped thinking, which brings a very obvious consequence, if you write in line with the reader's stereotyped thinking expectations, then you must have a good return, just like you do a survey in a KFC restaurant, the majority will think that KFC is delicious. But if you do a survey on the street, it is likely that KFC is a junk food station.
Therefore, if you want to create innovation that breaks the classification convention, you will often break your head, and even if the innovation is successful, it is a separate classification, which has nothing to do with the original classification, and you can't talk about innovation.
This is the most common mistake newbies make.
