Half Moon Summary 01-220627

It has been half a month since the book was opened, and as of noon today, it has been updated for 15 days, with a total of 91,500+ words, and an average of 6,100 words per day.

Considering the previous speed of writing about 4000+ per day, this could be regarded as a success in rehabilitation, and there has been significant progress.

Looking back a little, I found that it was not easy for this book to meet readers.

After the first draft of 30,000 words was written, although I found Chabao to pass the draft quickly, I was almost abandoned by me to transcribe another fantasy theme because of the small theme, high text quality requirements, and difficult plot construction.

The theme of Western worldview + mysterious style is destined to have the following questions that test the author very much:

1. It's hard to remember people's names

2. The style of the times is difficult to build

3. The sense of substitution in the Western background world is weak

4. A large number of complex settings are linked

Generally speaking, when readers see such a book, they abandon it after looking at it twice if the quality is not good; The quality is barely okay, most of it is "go to the bookshelf and stay, raise it for two years and then look at it".

After all, there is too much information to understand and remember, and it is easy to look at the back and forget the front when chasing and looking at the intermittent.

It makes sense.

At present, this problem is difficult to solve. From the author's point of view, the attempt is to try to use the first about 100,000 words (according to the story structure, it is the "introduction" part), and try to use a detailed "small plot" with no particularly important information to lay out the plot, so that the reader can read it without any pressure.

Here is a comparison of the first volume of "Mystery", which has several story lines designed from the beginning, and the complete plot of the city of Tingen. Every time I look back, I feel that I can show such a strong control of the plot at the beginning, and the platinum god deserves to be the platinum god.

Another note:

There are many people who say that the first few chapters and dozens of chapters of the mystery are really hard to read. In fact, this is because what the squid is doing is "theme pioneering", just like the pioneering works of Xianxia and fantasy, creating a new theme and world view style for readers. It is indeed costly for readers to understand and accept something that has never been seen before.

However, "the predecessors planted trees, and the later generations enjoyed the shade", and after that, if new books of restraint, occultism, and weird styles come out, the difficulty of readers' acceptance will be greatly reduced.

Straight to the point.

The more than 90,000 words of content that "Legend of the Secret Luck" has been updated so far, and it has basically achieved the goal I wanted:

Lowe is already ignorant and understands how to gain a foothold in this world;

The actors of Vito's main stage have already appeared;

The simple world has barely taken on a little shape;

The curtain of the crisis has gradually opened;

The truth of the world is faintly showing the slightest hint......

I'm afraid that readers are tired of these trivial things, and gradually feel that "stories that don't happen big things are boring", right?

Starting with the divination of today's chapter, it's time to push this little broken book into the core of the big plot and move forward into a bigger wave.

About Lawrence, about the Church of the Deathknell, about the Magic Mirror, about the history of the great wizards...... No more spoilers. (Hey)

And the important part: the lack of summarization.

So far, I've found myself having a few problems with my writing:

1. Insufficient pen power

As you can see from the plot of Medwell Manor, I have a lot of things I want to express that I haven't written. Because of the problem of insufficient pen power, many things were laid with foreshadowing, but I didn't have time to mention it at all.

Moreover, I'm really not very good at writing "pretending to be a slap in the face......

Obviously, this is the core skill of writing online articles...... Before I secretly train and achieve great success, I will try not to arrange such a plot again.

Write the story honestly.

2. Deal with stiffness

In many cases, the reader is not given a clear result of the event - it may not affect the reading experience very much, but from the author's point of view, it is because the timing and position of the "result" are not well controlled.

……

The above two problems are not problems that can be fixed immediately. I will try to overcome it step by step in the following stories to bring about a better reading experience.

If there are any other questions that affect my reading, you can feel free to ask me, such as leaving them in this chapter:

……

A casual chat.

It is said that the story that is prepared with the outline is very different from the story that is finally written. I don't seem to have this problem yet.

Because I don't write an outline.

…… Just kidding.

Actually, I only write the core story line of each stage, and as for the direction of the main story, as long as the general direction is right. From this point of view, writing a book is like driving a boat, the course is right, and which line to take depends on the helmsman's own thoughts.

(I love steel ships, and I want to write about big ships in my next book...... )

That's all for the half-moon summary.

This week is the first recommendation of Xiaoposhu, and everyone's follow-up is very important to me. Poor poor child, even if you want to raise a book, just turn to the last few pages casually, and turn out the meaning of "to be continued"~

Thanks to the editor Ginger Tea (Chabao is the world's number one cute)!

Thank you to everyone who supported this little broken book to go down!
