I just received an urgent notice from the editor, saying that it will be directly put on the shelves this Friday. You can take a look at it tonight, and please ask the officials who like this book to make a first order to support it, as long as it is about a dime.

After a few rounds of recommendations for this book, the data is basically stuck here and remains stable. Unless I can do a big job against the sky in the future, there is no point in continuing to drag it out.

The book's grades are subtle. It ranked ninth on the new book list and third on the new book list of light novels. Originally, I thought I should be able to go to Sanjiang, but I didn't. Later, I saw that Sanjiang only selected two books from one category in each issue, and I happened to be the third in my classification in the same period, but it was the new book list that ranked below me and entered Sanjiang. Please call me Sanjiang Goalkeeper this time.

Of course, it was helpless not to go to Sanjiang, after all, I met two bigwigs at the same time. One is the author of the great god, and the other is the seamless opening of a new book after the end of the boutique, and the influence is basically equal to the half-step god. In addition, they all have peers in the early stage to help promote the chapter, and I don't know my peers, so I don't need to get the promotion. So if you look at my comment area, you basically can't see the message "recommended from "XXX" at all.

Besides, both of them wrote a more trendy royal road online article, and I wrote a more unpopular Tokyo article this time. If neither of them is as good as me, they should reflect on themselves if they are too strained.

Push some nonsense a little, and then it's time to get down to business, which is what I've been trying to say since I serialized this novel.

First of all, "Tokyo People Don't Speak of Martial Virtues" is a magical realist novel that focuses on memes and funny, and there is nothing worth digging into, nor does it have the will to reflect social reality. The words and actions of any character represent only their fictitious values and are not associated with the author himself. The author only aims to express a diverse, multi-minded world, and create characters with multiple facets and complexities, rather than all bad good guys and bad villains to the bone.

My goal in writing this book must be the same as that of 99.9% of the contracted authors at the starting point, all of which are to earn manuscript fees and share some of my novel ideas by the way. Internet literature is different from traditional literature in that the core is to be used for people's amusement and enjoyment, rather than to disseminate and express any fierce personal opinions. Therefore, please do not have to sit in the right seat, let alone be indignant.

When planning this book, I originally planned to write a Tokyo love essay, so I played "Sifu", "Persona 5", "Like a Dragon 7", "Judgment Eye & Death", "Black Soul III" and other relatively warm popular love development games, and I happened to encounter unlimited martial arts, so I finally finalized this book "Tokyo People Don't Speak of Martial Arts".

Before I put it on the shelves, I read a lot of readers' opinions – rather, more opinions are inevitable. If I write a book about reality, readers will only slam me for not being realistic enough. If I write a book about magic, readers will only spray me for not writing magic enough. But this book is a "magical reality theme", so there are readers who will spray me for not being magical enough, and readers who will spray me for not being realistic enough, and pull me crazy on both sides.

The first concentrated question is about the behavioral logic of the book. Because it is a magical reality theme, it is easy for readers who only want to watch pure reality or pure magic to find faults. For example, in chapter 14, there is a reader who claims to have "chewed three Japanese legal texts", and finally concluded that the male protagonist was bound to go to prison, and then threatened to abandon the book if he couldn't read it. For another example, another reader in chapter 244 said: "Since you want to write about unlimited martial arts, just let the protagonist drive a mud truck into the school and hit the students of the news department, otherwise you will sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, and I will abandon the book." ”

Both of the above are more extreme cases. The former kind of my reply is: If you imagine that the real law enforcement is so strong, and assume that the world is extremely malicious to the protagonist, then why don't you say that the protagonist will be filmed by the other party and sent to the detention center with "intimidation" and "reputation insult" before he scolds a cruel word before fighting with the ruffians?

I don't have much to say about the second one. If the founder of "Unlimited Fighting" is really a jealous knight, then you are the first villain he wants to get rid of.

Of course, these are just the examples I have given, but in fact, there are quite a few readers who have raised opinions in this regard. It's not so much that I write very poorly, but that I didn't pick a good subject. I'll focus on the theme of magic in the next book, after all, I think my level is not low in the magic whole life.

The second concentrated opinion is still more funny, which is about the background story of the protagonist in the third chapter who died bravely in his previous life while traveling in Akihabara. Although the Akihabara incident in the book neta a male gun, it is essentially based on the "Akihabara random murder incident" in 2008. So there was a group of "patriotic youths" who were red-rooted, running out and scolding the protagonist for saving the Japanese as a fool, and it was better to save a Chinese crossing the road who was hit and killed by a big truck. There are also people who bring out the history of the World War II period, and it is rare to denounce the author as ungrateful.

In these years, there is indeed a group of so-called "patriotic youths", and as soon as they read a novel with Dongying as the stage, they can't wait for the protagonist to read the sentence "All things are born to support people". It's best to have some more bridges like "Monkey King makes trouble in Gao Tianyuan", and they will be excited to climax.

I have always agreed with one sentence: "The Chinese people and the Japanese people have only one enemy, that is, Japanese militarism and China's national scum." If some readers think that they are more patriotic than the person who said this, I think you should put down the novel and do more meaningful things, instead of using the act of "smashing a Nissan car" to make things difficult for a low-level author, and then run around and say, "I have made a meritorious service!" I'm done! ”

This topic will stop here, I'm afraid that something will happen if I continue to talk about it...

The rest are trivial comments. For example, some people think that the protagonist's behavior is not violent and extreme enough, some people think that the protagonist is too extreme, some people think that the little villain can't be good at degeneration and whitewashing, and he must be sentenced to death, and some people think that the protagonist Rao Xuejie is licking her life (but if you dare to "lick" a woman like this in reality, no one will provoke you in the future)... In short, I think these problems are caused by the poor design of the book, but the bigger reason is that it is more likely to be nitpicked because it is a "magical reality" book.

In addition, there is another big problem with despicable books, that is, they are more "anti-trend" and too anti-bone.

There are two main types of popular online texts: one is Feilu Feng, which simply uses the plot and brain holes as the selling point, dilutes the meaning of the character's existence as much as possible, and lets the character serve the plot; The other is the traditional online writing style, although it will focus on the plot and setting, but it will focus more on shaping the characters.

But no matter how flowery the various styles are, most authors will choose to create a "selfish" protagonist. Because this kind of protagonist is ordinary enough, it can make the general reader feel more immersed. To give a few examples, the protagonist of "The Master of Mystery" starts thinking about how to find a good job and backer, as well as worrying about his own firewood, rice, oil and salt; The protagonist of "The Strange Fairy" starts with thinking about curing his mental illness and protecting his family and friends. Even if they become great later and become heroes who save the world, they are all selfish little people in the beginning.

In order to satisfy readers with high moral needs, some smart authors will also deliberately arrange for the protagonist to save a few people "by the way" without affecting their own interests, or arrange for the protagonist to obtain greater benefits while helping others, so as to achieve a win-win situation. In this way, the reader can complacently publicize to the outside world: "Look, the protagonist of this book is a great benevolent man who is willing to do good, and his values are absolutely positive!" ”

To put it simply, the basic logic of those best-selling novels is that "the protagonist helps others for the sake of profit". But the logic of my book is the other way around: "The protagonist benefits from helping others." I did create an obsessive protagonist who is a bit detached from ordinary people. There is no intuitive golden finger (such as a system), and there is no very intuitive harvest (the harvest is basically network and reputation). He is an altruist, and he can be the protagonist purely because he has a lot of skills and is not stupid, and he knows how to keep a back hand to prevent being pitted. And for the sake of the general structure of the online text, I will design it so that he will be rewarded after every good deed, so that the reader will not feel that the protagonist's behavior is meaningless.

I think this book is indeed the opposite, and it is no wonder that many readers have a lot of opinions and think that they can't read it. I understand this, but it is better to say that I am a bit of a sword, so I did not write a novel that "the people like to see".

My purpose in writing this book is simple. I just think that the starting point can be a little fresh blood, and although this blood may be rejected (meaning that the public cannot accept it), I just want to try this kind of excitement. Originally, I planned to write a book of Xianxia Fun Humanities, and the routine should be similar to the previous wasteland love essay, but I think that if I don't try new things and don't use my brains to break through my own possibilities, even if I become a great god, I will become stubborn, and eventually I will be oblivious to everyone.

If I want to say that the biggest mistake I made in the early stage of this book, it was that I paid too much attention to the comments of readers, and even pulled myself into trouble. After writing the first volume (the Department of Public Information), I was in a state that was not quite right, and I didn't know how to write it, and I always wanted to meet the expectations of all my readers, but I was hesitant to move forward.

This problem finally erupted in chapters 80-82, like the late silver period, and the whole underworld was a big job, and many readers who liked this book sent long comments and scolded me. Originally, these chapters were a small climax, and the plot was very simple. Chapter 80 The senior sister went undercover and found out that she was in trouble with the underworld, and then immediately kidnapped the hostages and confronted them in a stalemate; Chapters 81-82 The protagonist rushes in to save people. In fact, I wrote the outline, as long as I was free to play in the middle. But the mental state of that time was not right, I wanted to write that the protagonist was a lone wolf at a banquet and rushed in alone to kill the underworld, but I was afraid that the "reality party" would say that the protagonist was impulsive and reduced his intelligence, why didn't he call the police for help; I want to write that the protagonist Gou is outside to call the police and shake people, but I am afraid that the "magic party" will say that the protagonist is bloodless.

The most terrible thing is that I didn't write a strong sense of crisis in 80 chapters, the enemy is a gang of underworld fraudsters, and they don't dare to move after the senior sister kidnaps a hostage against the guest, for fear that the dead will be in trouble. The two sides were in a stalemate for half an hour, and there was absolutely time for the protagonist to shake the circle of people and then rush in. As a result, many readers suddenly said that "the villain is not strong enough, and I am very disappointed". To be honest, this kind of comment doesn't make any sense to me. A villain who has just entered college and will instigate juvenile delinquency must be terrifying in reality, but how much can he force his character against our righteous madman protagonist? It can't be said that the people of Wano Country are outstanding and every criminal organization must have a Moriarty professor as standard, right?

But I was still in a hurry, and as soon as my mind was hot, I listened to the reader's opinion and temporarily revised the 80 chapters. I raised the threat of the villain a little higher, and wrote the crisis of the senior sister as a matter of seconds, and if I came to save someone a minute late, I would die. But I changed the front and forgot to change it, and in the end, the logic collapsed, and the coherence was not smooth, and this oolong incident occurred.

But this is mainly my fault, after all, maintaining a normal heart for readers is a quality that an online writer must have. Readers have the right to comment as they like (otherwise I would have opened a featured comment section a long time ago), but the author also has his own principles.

Compared to the Japanese bow and apology, I am better at correcting mistakes. I rewrote all these chapters that night, and then changed them 2-3 times, and also changed some of the previous chapters to correct the protagonist's character logic as much as possible. Now in the latest version, I've basically remedied the logic problems and character problems, and the plot is more passionate than the first version. If I can think of a better idea in the future, I will change it again. I don't think it's too much to praise me for the "craftsman spirit" that I wrote three times for a few chapters, right?

Actually, I'm glad that this problem broke out early. If this problem only happened after I put it on the shelves, then I wouldn't be able to change the chapters as I want now.

After this big job, I also began to reflect on why my state had deteriorated. In order to understand this problem, I was learning the ghost screaming of smoke mirrors at home and beating sandbags desperately, and I didn't stop bleeding until my fist peaks were bleeding. After three days, I finally realized a truth...

The ghost of the smoke mirror is quite nice.

No... I found that I was a bit misguided and focused too much on the reader's evaluation and opinion. Everyone wants to please, and in the end they raise the requirements too high, beyond their own capabilities, and instead self-defeating, forgetting what their original intention was in writing this book.

My motivation for writing this book is simple. I think that even when people grow up and mature, they start to become apathetic, selfish, oblivious, blind to other people's cries for help, and think that this is a sign of "high intelligence" and "high emotional intelligence"... But I still believe that there is a noble and crazy hero in people's hearts, with a yearning for all good things.

This book is like a spiritual continuation of the previous book - the fun man who just wants to speed up the fireworks is finally saved by love, and this book is a crazy man story about love and salvation.

Yes, this book seems to many to be very naïve and full of slots. They prefer to watch self-serving protagonists, solipsistic style stories, which are called "IQ online essays". I might think I'm being sarcastic, but I don't, because that's what I've written before, and I love reading it, and I'm just trying to write something new this time.

Finally, I wanted to ask myself again, "Do you think you're a writer?" ”

I don't think I'm not.

People like me who write books for the sake of manuscript fees and grandstanding can only be called "codeword service industry workers". Lu Xun once expressed a very interesting point of view: "Poetry exists in everyone's soul, and poets are to awaken the poetry that sleeps in people's hearts." I think that only those who have such an awareness are qualified to be called writers.

Oh yes, please order again! Thank you! I'll add more when it's on the shelves.,I'm still thinking about how much to add.,It should be between 3-5?
