First of all, before talking about the setting, let's talk about what is called "online literature", which was only briefly talked about before, and then deleted.

As the name suggests, "online literature" is literature published on online platforms, and online literature itself is no different from traditional literature, but it is strange that with the rise of data-based reading and the lowering of the threshold for writing and publishing, most of the readers' reading modes are fragmented reading modes.

This so-called literature was born, because of the pressure of the real world and fragmented reading, as well as the reduction of publishing costs, some brisk, fantastical, and whimsical stories are becoming more and more eye-catching and more and more popular.

This can bring economic benefits, and naturally a large number of people will pour into the creation of this so-called "Internet literature", and fantasy always has a limit, so the form and content of this so-called "Internet literature" are becoming more and more perfunctory, and the plot is becoming more and more formulaic, and even presented as a pan-brain hole.

Including the themes that have become popular in recent years, you can find many things in common - the novelty of the setting, and this novel setting can make you read on.

So is all this "online literature" with gold leaf really considered literature? I do not rule out that some "online literature" has value, but we must also see that a large amount of online literature is meaningless.

What is literature? Literature is the symbolic embodiment of the author's ideological contradictions, the person's thinking about life, society, nature and human nature, and something that can bring people feelings. It is the ideology of a certain society, the idea of the whole of this author's social class.

So what do you think about this so-called "online literature"? Where is its value? Is it just to let some children who have suffered from secondary two diseases fantasize about tearing up the space to marry Bai Fumei?

What are those vulgar, boring, disgusting, and anti-human books, those stallion texts, dark texts, slaughter texts, god hao texts, and books mixed with a lot of vulgar images purely for YY, what do they bring to immature children? is a middle and second disease who shouts about depression and blackening all day long, and is full of vulgar pictures in his head, and he should be slapped twice to make him recognize the reality.

We can't deny that many pan-brain works are not mixed with any redundant and distorted thoughts, such as the Lord of Mysteries and the like, the sword and the like, and even these books can give you some normal fantasies, which can temporarily help you stay away from the pressure of the real world.

So, why, why, do we become obsessed with these books? Why don't many people like to read books that are truly intellectually valuable?

Because we can't read, because we feel that we are too tired, because of the rise of pan-entertainment, whether it is because of academic pressure or work pressure, we all want to escape from the world at some point and shrink into a small corner.

This corner can be a game, a web novel, a short video, an online dating partner on the web, anything lighthearted.

Although these things don't have much meaning, they can make people relax for a while, and then devote themselves to life is the only meaning, and it is its own value.

What I never expected was that teenagers could actually absorb their own growth factors, absorb their own values and concepts from online novels and short videos, and grow their own distorted values from a lot of dross.

The nature of entertainment has changed here, into an alienated religion, into an ideal country from which you can escape your pain and immerse yourself in it.

I'm one of them, and even now I don't dare to install any short video software on my phone because I can't control myself.

The author was also addicted to this kind of illusory thing when he was a child, and he was addicted to this kind of thing, and it was not until he went to college that he got a little better.

In the first year of college, I read a lot of meaningful books, including philosophy, social science, and literature.

When I first wanted to write a novel, I didn't have many requirements, as long as I could make money, as long as I could make money, even if it was just a few dozen dollars, it was just to pass my free time.

The author's family is not happy, my parents divorced when I was in junior high school, because my mother cheated, but in the end, because I was still young, I didn't get married.

At that time, I hated my mother very much, I forgot to bring my textbook home that day, I saw that scene with my own eyes, I didn't even dare to think that this thing was real, I even lost my mind, I just kept crying, crying from home to school, I washed my face when I arrived at school, and I didn't say a word, but she never even came to look for me, and she didn't worry about where I went.

No matter who asks me, I don't dare to tell anyone what happened, I'm ashamed, I don't dare to say.

The relationship lasted for two years before it gradually got better, after all, she was still my mother and still loved me no matter what she did. I'm a soft-hearted person, and I can't see her crying when she doesn't speak.

Slowly, my parents got better again, I went to college, my sister also worked, and everything went in a good direction.

It wasn't until this summer that my father became seriously ill and spent a lot of money, which made me feel for the first time that I should grow up, that I am an adult, and that I should do everything I can to lighten the burden on the family.

I wanted to go to work, but my sister disagreed, saying that there was no shortage of my money, but I persuaded her through social practice research to work for two months in the summer vacation and earn some money, not much, only a few thousand yuan.

In the days and nights of my part-time job, I had to endure the torture, the heavy and monotonous work, the loneliness and helplessness of being alone in a different place, and every time my mother called me, she cried and complained about why she became like this, how difficult it was for me, and how difficult it was for me to take care of a patient.

I also had to cry that my father was not well recovered, and the quarrel between the two of them always put a chord on my fragile spirit, making me powerless and tired to regulate her emotions.

I almost lost myself, I felt like I was dead, I didn't even want to touch a short video game during that time, I just wanted to lie quietly, smoke a cigarette, and think about nothing.

It wasn't until I worked for more than a month that my sister made a video call to me, and she looked at me and cried, saying how the original delicate child had become like this, with a scruffy beard, like a forty-year-old uncle, there was no little girl around you when I went back to school this time.

Say let me go home, there is no shortage of money at home, just work for two days to do a social research, just go home, there is no need to stay there all the time.

I hadn't paid the salary that day, I didn't have any money, and I didn't want to ask for money from home, so the canteen in the factory could eat with the label card, but I had to solve the problem of eating by myself on Sunday with a day off.

My sister sent me 2,000 yuan that day, and I was crying outside the factory dormitory, I don't know why, maybe it was just to vent my pent-up emotions.

My father's illness improved, but he needed someone to watch him, so my mother quit her job and took care of my father at home. I also have a sister who still has a little income, and she pays a salary of more than 10,000 yuan a month.

In the end, I went home for half a month, the author was very irritable during the time at home, I couldn't stay, I finished writing the social practice report, wrote about the factory I saw, and wrote about the numb people. For the rest of the day, I used games and short videos to numb myself every day.

But it didn't work, I still have to face the cruel reality, I want to do something meaningful, I want to make a little bit of money.

So I aimed at online novels, without it, just two points, low entry threshold, free time.

I started to think about the plot and started reading all kinds of other people's books and highlights.

But my sister told me to write something meaningful if you want to write, you shouldn't worry about money at your age, you should be a little energetic, a little ideal, the family doesn't spend much money, the house can be rented out, grow some vegetables in your hometown, at least your parents' food and clothing and daily medicine money basically don't have to worry.

As for my schooling, the student loan can give me some money, my sister can also afford to provide for my schooling, she also has an allocated house as a public official, the monthly rent is also very low, and the daily expenses are not very much, everything is going in a good direction.

I really felt like I was a brute when I was a kid, I actually felt that my own family didn't love me, I used to talk to my sister, the two of us called to talk about what happened recently, and sometimes I thought about my fragile mother.

I have no doubt about my family's love for me, and although my mother is not a good wife and mother, I still love her.

I want to say that in the final analysis, "online literature" is to give you a safe house, a safe house for you to temporarily disconnect from reality, but we have to face reality after all.

Don't bring these things into reality, and don't uncritically absorb any ideas from any online literature.

Don't think that your parents slap you twice and feel that they don't love you anymore, don't think they are bad when they quarrel with you, they are also parents for the first time, maybe not perfect, maybe there are many flaws, but the vast majority of them love their children very much.

Next, let's talk about the setting of the whole book, as I said earlier, I want to write a book that I think has a little bit of meaning, a book that makes me feel a little bit of the past, and a book that meets my own standards.

So I'm going to make the process as perfect as possible, to meet my own standards as much as possible, maybe I don't have a good control over the plot, details, writing, etc., but I'll still write carefully.

I think the ending of the book is the only essence, and although it may not be well liked, I think it's important.

The author has always believed that the greatest thing about human beings is their own wisdom, and that human beings are naturally great because of their wisdom, and that as long as there is any law of order, human beings can develop and use it to transform the world.

I don't plan to write a rigid, paper-based history like the original, I want to write about the world as it really is.

I want to dismantle some of the elements of pure fantasy and add a little theoretical basis of fantasy to these factors, even if it is still a fantasy, but this fantasy is also an orderly fantasy, a logical fantasy.

The author will not write anything that is contrary to natural science, but will use other means, a science-based way to argue the theory of this matter.

One might ask, does that make sense? Isn't pure fantasy better?

But this is very meaningful, because it determines that everything in this world is still orderly, and it can still be understood and classified by human beings.

With this, the civilians themselves can stand up, otherwise the world is a breeding ground of utter despair.

I often mention that the people of Douluo Continent are like monkeys, they don't know how to develop science and technology, just like they are not humans, they only know how to eat, drink, and sleep.

But this is not in accordance with the social sciences, because with the development of the productive forces, there will inevitably be people who can participate in mental work instead of physical labor, to produce a series of superstructures such as art, culture, philosophy, science, etc.

Therefore, there will inevitably be scientific and technological development in the Douluo Continent, but why hasn't it developed?

I added a setting here, that is, the technology lock of the upper layer, the technology lock of the world above, the purpose of their cultivation of the Douluo Continent is to harvest souls, the more complicated, the more intelligent the souls can attract their attention.

Therefore, the Douluo Continent has been ossified here, and since the end of the world, it has been completely ossified here, without development, and stagnant.

As for those people earlier, it was just the mistakes caused by the mistakes of the outside world's caretaker instruments that led to the development of science and technology in the Douluo Continent.

You may question how the group of monkeys in the Douluo Continent can develop technology? Isn't that a hydrogen continent?

However, I want to say that the development of science and technology is often driven by some people, I just imagined a genius, he is the crystallization of countless scientists, he leads others to work in these aspects, not to mention that there are still many spiritual soul masters in the Douluo Continent, and the heads of these spiritual soul masters are quite normal.

As for the unreasonable setting of the original book, I will make up for and modify it, including the hydrogen continent, because it is impossible, even if you use the common sense of physics in middle school, you can distinguish it.

I will write specifically what soul power is, what martial soul is, what soul is, and what spiritual power is, and explain the rationality of this thing through existing theories, so that it will no longer become a fog.

I will explain everything that seems metaphysical, and explain this part of the phenomenon through theory.

Oh, and by the way, I'm not going to say anything about tearing space, absolute zero, or anything like that, because this part is too degrading for me to watch.

I will make sure that every setting I write is logically and theoretically based.

and will be mixed with the replacement of dynasties in the Douluo Continent, the reform of the monetary system, and even describe the customs, cultural habits, and the existence of the rebel organizations of the past dynasties.

I'm trying to write a living Douluo Continent, which is difficult for me, but it's also interesting.

I will add theoretical pillars to all the products of fantasy, so that they can stand up to scrutiny and logical deduction.

Even if it's a crossing thing, I have a setting, what is going on with this thing, how can people cross it?

I want to depict something normal through my clumsy brushstrokes, maybe it's family affection, maybe it's love, maybe it's compassion for people, maybe it's what it's called resistance, maybe it's some theoretical knowledge, maybe it's the ability to think alone.

I want others to comment when they read my book, the thinking is very good, and the characters are very lively, instead of asking, "The author and the author, can you let the protagonist get on the base quickly", "The author and the author, can you step on the so-and-so in the original book".

I wanted people to see what they could get out of this book, so I decided from the beginning that this book couldn't be too cool, and I didn't like personal heroism.

I want some immature middle school students hiding in safe houses to understand that this world is not just about money and lust, and there is more than just a jungle society of refined egoism and the jungle of the jungle.

I want them to be able to improve their worldview that has been brainwashed by something when they are relaxed, and to be able to break away from the illusion and face reality bravely.

In the same way, this book is also the author's own dream, his own sweet dream, his own fantasy hometown.

This book is a tribute to my dead ideals, to the idealists of everything in history.

Some are pretentious, and I hope to forgive myself for wearing a high hat.

Originally, I was going to explain most of the settings clearly, but there is still a class tomorrow morning, so I have to go to bed early, so I'm sorry.
