It's on the shelves, let's talk about it
To be honest, the results of the book are so miserable, I really don't have the face to write any testimonials on the shelves......
But there is something I do want to say to the reader, so write it.
First of all, I would definitely like to thank the supporters of this book, without whom the book might not have survived.
Thank you, really, on your knees.
……
Next, let's talk about the history of this book.
This book, in fact, is a continuation of the book "This Old Dominator is Definitely Problematic".
That book was written by me as a joke with netizens, and the main character is Qi, a pure psychopath.
The source of the character is a netizen I met on the Internet, and he has a failed love. I feel that his experience is very legendary, and in order to be funny, we will write about his experience.
So the main element of the book is love.
Later, because he liked the Cthulhu element, we played with the Cthulhu element.
The book becomes ...... Cthulhu Love Flow Novel.
There was no outline at all in that book, and the plot was something I came up with every day, focusing on funny and nonsensical.
Later, after a few discussions, we decided to add some elements of infinite flow, so we wrote about the crossing of the worlds.
The book becomes ...... Cthulhu Love Infinite Flow Novel.
Later, the release of Cyberpunk 2077, during a few of our chats, I thought this theme was good, and I happened to be a cyber fan, so I integrated the cyber theme into it.
The book becomes ...... Cthulhu cyberpunk love infinite stream novel.
Later, netizens wanted me to write him into the book, that is, Ning Yuan, who was a UP master, so I gave the UP master this character.
In the process of writing this supporting role, I found his character design too interesting, so I wrote and wrote...... He became the main character.
Accidentally, the protagonist made me write nothing......
Later, everyone was busy, so they stopped chatting, and the book became written by myself, and since it was originally a playful work, I completely let myself go.
It just so happened that during that time, I was fascinated by the Xianxia elements, and I integrated the Xianxia elements into it.
The book becomes ...... Cthulhu cyberpunk fairy love infinite stream novel.
Writing and writing, when I saw the movie Mad Max 4, my blood was pumping, so I added the wasteland element.
The book becomes ...... Cthulhu Cyberpunk Fairy Wasteland Love Infinite Flow Novel.
After that, I fancy Middle-earth and like the elf setting, so I added a little bit of Western fantasy.
The book becomes ...... Cthulhu Cyberpunk Fairy Land Wasteland Western Fantasy Love Infinite Flow Novel.
In short, the consequences of self-indulgence are...... The book collapsed.
Sure enough, it collapsed.
I didn't know how to write it down, so I gave up after three days.
I'm tired, love what's wrong.
……
And then a year passed.
The world was bustling, coming and going, and I lived alone like a silly dog, eager to have my own story.
Out of boredom, I picked up this worldview again.
In that period of the world, I watched Nolan's interstellar crossing several times, and the hard sci-fi plot in it deeply fascinated me.
Hence the worldview of this book.
One is based on multi-world quantum field theory, string theory.
Development, technological routes, and social structures are similar to those of the real world, but they are incomparably grand and mysterious.
A giant world with abilities, the ancient gods of Cthulhu, and a cyberpunk style.
Because of the previous foundation, from the setting of the ancient gods, to the social structure, the consciousness of the people, and to the scientific and technological life, all of them are formed in my mind.
The moment this worldview appeared in my mind, I knew that I was definitely going to write about it.
I don't have the ability to write it.
If I don't write it, I'll regret it for the rest of my life.
So I polished my worldview and wrote the beginning of the internal investment editing.
Really, I was about to be rejected during this time, and if it weren't for Lu Mingda's big take-in, I really wouldn't have been able to get a contract.
Haha, in my opinion, the contract is a street fighting certificate.
Now I finally have the qualifications to hit the street!
Immediately after that, I started creating.
……
Let's talk about the original intention.
When I was writing, I found that the worldview was too big for me, and it was very difficult to write.
And the style is not easy to master.
I don't want to write this book into a set of leather upgrade essays, I want to put cyberpunk, Cthulhu, sci-fi, web text...... The kernel of those various styles is written, so the plot has been changed, and it is really difficult to write.
The core of cyberpunk is...... The alienation and resistance of technology and capital to human beings.
And the core of Cthulhu is...... Fear of the unknown.
Sci-fi...... It's essentially a rhapsody of technology.
I have made a lot of efforts to integrate the three.
The unknown that Cthulhu represents reminds me of the history of physics.
Newton used classical mechanics to construct a flawless world and ruled physics for more than 300 years.
However, when the building encountered the problem of blackbody radiation, it collapsed in an instant.
Immediately after that, the emergence of quantum mechanics caused a dark cloud to surge over the head of the physics community, that is, the endless unknown at the bottom of the world.
But because the quantum realm is too small, all the detection methods of human beings will show a series of changes when they get there, which is the observer effect, which brings a fatal problem.
Being in the system of the universe, humans cannot directly observe the underlying movements, and it may always be unknown......
So I took this a step further and added the setting of the ancient gods to make the clouds at the bottom of the physical world more terrifying.
Immediately afterwards, Gabriel Stewart and Rowling Conrad, the two characters jumped on the paper, facing the unknown at the bottom of physics, is it to stay san?
Or is it sinking into eternal madness?
That's how I came up with the idea of embodying the Cthulhu element.
Immediately after that, there is science fiction, a scientific rhapsody.
From the first bonfire lit by human beings to today's nuclear fusion, thousands of years have passed, but technology has continued to evolve and soar.
Human beings are crazy to transform the world through technology, and in my opinion, this is precisely the courage of human beings to resist the unknown.
In order to highlight this courage, I thought of a lot of black technology coming out.
Abilities, Master Control System, Energy System, Biochemical Prosthetics, Plasma Railgun, Laser Cannon, Gravitational Field Generator, Artificial Black Hole, Essentia Chip, Outer God Chip, World Annihilation, World Transformation Seal, Big Data, Observer Mind Network......
Next, there will be a variety of outrageous scientific and technological means in this book, which is a magic weapon for human beings to fight against the ancient gods.
Black technology fights black mystery, and what is played is to fight violence with violence.
Immediately afterwards, the core of cyberpunk is the alienation of human beings by technology and capital.
For this, I have a lot of classics to learn from, Neuromaniac, The Matrix, Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, Gunner, Cyberpunk 2077...... Too much.
With the advancement of industrial civilization, science and technology are constantly evolving, becoming a new god.
Body Transformation, Brain Domain Transformation, Human-Computer Interaction, Mind Network...... These are miracles.
And these miracles, with the blessing of capital, are not for the sake of creating a better life, but for better exploitation, so there is the core of cyberpunk: alienation.
Man is no longer human, but a machine in human skin.
As an aside, Cyberpunk is a spelling of two words, Cyberpunk and Punk.
"Cybernetics" is "cybernetics" and means cyber technology, for example, the English word for "cyberspace" is Cyberspace. "Punk" was originally a genre of rock music, and later referred to rebellious alternative youth, out of step with mainstream society.
One is the communication control between network machines and people, and the other is the spirit of rebellion......
If you cut out the part of the network and the machine, and talk about control and rebellion...... I think the history of dynastic change in ancient times is very cyberpunk.
One is the tight control of the feudal dynasty, and the other is the courage of the suffering people......
Just kidding, haha.
However, where there is oppression, there must be resistance.
Those who had no way to retreat, took up guns and rebelled against the company.
However, because of the serious isolation between high-tech and the bottom, no matter how much the people with steel guns resist, they can't deal with the companies that master the core technology, so they can only turn the guns and turn them on other poor people...... This is also the fundamental reason for the division of the gangs in the lower district of Bravel in this book.
I will also present these through the plot in the future.
In the entanglement between humans and the ancient gods, the spell of capital follows each other like a shadow, pushing the world to absurdity.
……
Okay, don't say much, if you talk about it, it feels like the bottom has fallen, haha.
After talking about the original intention of creation, let's talk about the problems of this book.
Summarize the things you encounter while writing.
The most important thing is definitely that the rhythm has exploded.
The first four plots, escaping from the laboratory, the hospital gang war, the company round-up, and Ning Lin's mechanical séance.
The four plots are completed in one go, and a large number of complex worldviews are directly explained.
The company's careless human life, ancient gods and technology, ability setting, technology level, gang pattern on the street, company struggle, a corner of the worldview, the protagonist's life experience, by the way, through Ning Lin to lead out the main line, protect Stewart...... Wait a minute.
A lot of information is fused in the four plots, and the plot is my own thought, which can be regarded as an okay beginning.
Because it's a rookie author...... At the moment, I can't do my best.
After these four plots, I believe what readers want to see next is: the protagonist climbs step by step from the bottom, improves his strength, harvests the prosthesis, develops his power, fights against the company, and fights against the ancient gods......
But...... I can't help but want to play with some flowers......
In my opinion, the protagonist starts the game with the top ability, blowing up two nuclear bombs in a row......
That's it, next, why can't you just beat an ancient god?
So I wrote the line of Dukalda.
There's a lot of stuff inside.
The game world, the characteristics of the Holy Spirit of Heaven, the invasion of the abyssal ruins, the calculations of the mysterious people behind the scenes, the double Rashomon world, the boundary between virtual and reality, the pros and cons of popularity, the system of the abyssal society, the influence of the main control system on the human brain......
This plot, like the first four plots, is to explain the setting and expand the world view.
In order to be able to highlight the conspiracy behind the scenes, Dukalda recurs layer by layer, and renders the profound proposition of the virtual and the real.
So I played a flower job.
deliberately made a lot of fun in front of this plot, and deliberately downplayed the flavor rendered in front.
The flow of the text hasn't changed, but the style has changed.
In this paragraph, it is written in the way of a brainless cool article, writing that the protagonist gains popularity, gambles, and pries open the space of the ancient gods.
Along the way, the protagonist is like a bamboo, and the commotion is constant, as if nothing can stump the protagonist.
At last...... Direct 180-degree reversal.
I believe that only by rendering with such a routine can we reflect Dukalda's terrifying mind and ability, and only then can we reflect the final climax.
But here's the problem...... This plot is too lengthy and out of touch with the previous plot.
Previously written about the Demon Cave Military Industry, Street Gangs, Prosthetic Doctors, and Ning Lin of the Homeland Security Agency...... And so on, it is not presented in the first half of this plot, and it is seriously disjointed.
Although the Dukalda plot is full of foreshadowing, and the previous plot can be linked to each other in the larger structure, it ...... Under the huge volume of 180,000 words, it was washed into a mess.
Many readers left directly in the early part of this plot, and I was stupid to watch.
Eh~
Even if I say that there will be a wonderful plot later, there must be very few viewers.
It is estimated that by the time I write a million words, the plot foreshadowing and other things will be coherently reflected, and the situation will be better.
It was my mistake and I paid a lot for it.
It also reminded me that I would not play such a long flower job in the future.
Now that I think about it, I should have taken this plot apart and written it in sections, with two lines progressive, and layers of unraveling, the situation would be much better.
To be honest, I really didn't expect me to be able to write so much about this plot.
In the original estimate, this paragraph was more than 50,000 words, and more than ten chapters were completed, which would not take up too much space.
But...... There are too many plots involved, too many settings, and in order to write it completely, I really got more and more yards, and the yards went to the top.
Anyway, it's too late to change the plot now, and it's hard to go back, so be it.
I promise that there will be no such mistakes in the future.
……
Finally, let's talk about the next steps.
First of all, after it is put on the shelf, I will reward more than 100 people, and I will explode more.
The current chapter is about 6,000 words per chapter, and I will be double-changed if I am rewarded, 12,000 a day...... I can't resist any more, this book is difficult to write, I hope you can understand, thank you.
While making sure to update, I'll try to streamline the first part of the Dukalda plot as much as possible.
Delete some redundant remarks, delete some drunken words written too much, and let readers have a better experience without changing the plot.
Old readers don't have to read it, and they won't change any plot, just change some descriptions and sentences.
That's all, above!
We hope that readers will be able to support you a lot.
