I've been hesitant to write a postscript. After thinking about it, I still think it's time to summarize this story that has haunted me for 9 years. Whether it is for the reader or himself, it can be regarded as a final explanation.

"The Legend of the Swordsman of the Autumn Rain" was born from an online game 'Sword Network III', which is why I named it 'The Legend of the Swordsman'. The original purpose was to have fun, and at that time, classmates and friends who played together got together and proposed to write a martial arts story. This task was given to me.

At that time, I didn't have any special ideas, and I didn't want to write about any achievements or benefits, it was all for the entertainment of everyone. I used my spare time to start writing after a rough idea. At first, it was just posted in the post bar for friends to read, and it was a few hours to write each time, and then I suddenly realized that it was not so easy to write, and it can be said that it was quite hard.

Posting at the starting point is completely accidental.,Because sometimes you don't let it be sent after writing the post.,Say it's illegal content.,I won't tell you what the specific violation is.,Just can't send it.。 A few hours of hard work are left there, and the frustration in my heart is not to be mentioned, and this happens often.

Later, someone suggested that it would be better to send it to the regular station, and you should write it anyway. That's where I started. It was originally released in 2010, and because of my studies, I also wrote and stopped. When I graduated at the end of the year, there were many and complicated things, and I couldn't even bother to write. Later, more and more things in my work and life took up almost all of my time. At that time, the friends who played together had already gone their separate ways.

But strangely, during those years, I never stopped thinking about finishing the book. For reasons that have nothing to do with any interests, I feel that the story I conceived is very interesting and must be written. But then I think about it, there are other reasons. Maybe it's because every boy has martial arts feelings when he is a child, the kind of dream of wandering the rivers and lakes and being chic. That's why I love to play martial arts games. Or maybe it's my memories of the time when I went to school and my reluctance to give up friendship. This feeling became stronger after entering society.

In any case, although I didn't write in those years, I continued to write and polish the whole story in my mind whenever I had free time, and during this time, I gradually perfected and enriched the initial rough plot.

Later, a few years later, a little bit later, I quickly picked it up again and wrote it intermittently, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and whenever I wanted to drop everything and sprint to completion, there would always be something like and that that made me have to stop.

I don't know how other people create, but in my own experience, it's very uncomfortable to continue writing after writing a book after it has been interrupted, especially when it's been interrupted for a long time, the plot can't be connected in my head, and the emotions are different. Therefore, it is necessary to read the previous content carefully every time and slowly enter the story. I was interrupted so many times that I decided not to write for the time being, and a few more years have passed.

To my surprise, in the past few years, many readers have found this only half, and they like it very much, and many people have left messages to ask, and some have expressed regret. I occasionally open the web page and see these messages, and I am very encouraged. At the same time, I feel very sorry for these readers, because I know very well how bad it feels to like a book and not read it halfway. However, I really couldn't write stably, so I had nothing to do.

I secretly made up my mind that I would either not publish an article in the future, and as long as I started posting, the whole book would be completed. I don't want to be in the same situation as before, and I will leave all the readers out of the way.

In 2018, a lot of things happened around me, and I had more time than before. It took me about 5 months to finish the book. This is the entire creative process of "The Legend of the Swordsman of the Autumn Rain", and I have changed from a two-word prefix to a three-character prefix.

Someone said to me that in today's era of online writing, no one writes books like this. They all open one or several books at the same time, and if they are not popular, they will immediately abandon the book and open a new book, and so on until the contract is signed, and efficiency is the first. It took me 9 years to finish, and I didn't earn a penny during this period and I still have to continue to write. I replied that because of the different starting points, this book has placed too many feelings and memories on me, and completing it is more like a mission than a goal for me. If I had waited for this book to make money, I would have starved to death and had 9 years in my life.

But I don't think I can write like this anymore, it's too painful. Every time you finish a chapter, you save it and don't publish it, that is, there is no monetary motivation, and no readers can see it, and they can give you a thumbs up, or give you a few words of encouragement and praise, nothing. It's just that I keep writing and saving. I describe it as the sea floating in the dark, with no lighthouse and nothing to see. Of course, this also has to do with my lack of experience.

Speaking of Ye Suiyun, the protagonist of the story, to a certain extent, he represents a certain ideal of mine, or he embodies my personal value orientation. I never wanted to be educational throughout the story, but I unconsciously wrote a lot of my thoughts into it, and it was interesting to look back.

The whole story has a huge number of characters and many forces, and it is really not easy to make all the lines closely connected and echo before and after. I joked to my wife that other people's first books were basically practiced, and my first book was in hell mode. It's good to think about it, if you can finish this story, you can also be more comfortable with smaller stories in the future.

I wanted to portray a colorful and warm and romantic martial arts world, with less swords and swords. As a result, when I looked back, I saw that there was no shortage of swords and swords (laughs). In order to make the whole story more vivid, I tried to add a lot of cultural elements to it, and I also made a lot of poems for the characters and plots in the book.

Of course, there are regrets, some of the plot doubts and suspense in the story are not fully explained, but fortunately, it does not affect the main line and smoothness of the whole book. I hope that in the future, I will have the opportunity to write a sequel and fill in these small holes. On the other hand, readers can expand their imagination for themselves, which is not bad.

There is another small reason that prompted me to complete, which is very naïve and ridiculous to say, and that is the name Ye Suiyun. Although I don't play games anymore, I like the name very much, it represents a feeling of freedom, in reality each of us is bound by various reasons in our own situation, not to mention freedom, this word is not even a luxury, it is simply a fantasy. The name represents my youth and aspirations, and thanks to this film for helping me keep it forever and not die away with quitting the game.

In the future, I will continue to write, because through "Autumn Rain", I fell in love with writing. It's a peculiar feeling to figure out the state of mind of each different character. There is also a new idea when it is conceived, and the excitement of discovering a new continent is like. It is also a wonderful feeling to feel like you are in that strange and colorful world in writing. The only painful part is that I often have to go through a lot of information for a detail, and it is often so, and it is really hard. Of course, with this experience, there will never be a situation of 'sharpening a sword in 9 years' when writing in the future, and it will definitely be written quickly, so please rest assured that this point is reassuring.

It's over, whether it's good or bad in the end, I've done my best, and I have no regrets. Special thanks to my wife and mom for their support.

Finally, I would like to say thank you to all the readers and friends who love this book. You may not know how much it means to me to read a chapter every time you open it, and thank you for being with me along the way. In particular, I would like to say sorry to the earliest readers, and I will never keep updating it in the future. If there is a new work in the future, I will post a notice in "The Legend of the Swordsman of the Autumn Rain".

Since this book is based on the game Sword Net III.,Finally, I'll end it with a word from a game fansong.。

"Fate comes and goes, clouds disperse and reunite. The wind is bleak, the clouds are vast, the years are firm, how can this river and lake be forgotten? ”

Dear book friends, he is destined to meet in the future, let's see you in the rivers and lakes. ----- autumn leaves
