The first volume is a postscript and a testimonial
In fact, those who follow my Bilibili account Shenwu Liuliu should know that the birth of this book was a complete accident.
After the ending of the last book, I was going to play Tears of the Kingdom until August, then Baldur's Gate 3 to September, and finally Starfield.
By the way, the last book "Space Flight Handbook" looks like it is only 600,000 words, but in fact, it has already written all the foreshadowing that can be written and collected, and it is a complete farsighted fairy tale.
Back to the book. In fact, I wrote this book because the night I finished writing my last book, I especially wanted to find a traditional, sword and magic book, preferably like Zhu Xueheng's translation of "Dragon Lance Chronicles" and "Dragon Lance Legend" to read.
As a result, it seems that in the end, I can only turn over "Amber Sword".
But I've seen the Sword of Amber too many times, and I'm probably more familiar with the main character Brando, where to find the ring and what to fight in the first place. The same happens in old books such as Soth's "The Mage's Tale" and Milk Bear's "The Shadow" (aka "Marry a Sister as a Wife").
And then the new work.,There's a system that will send tasks everywhere.,It's so strong that it's a golden finger against the sky.,You can get the power of Balabala by hanging up and signing in.γ It's not that I despise these, I know that these are also well-written, but it's not realistic for you to ask a person who is rushing to find a copy of "Dragon Lance Legend" to look at it.
So the more I watched it that day, the more angry I became, and then in a fit of rage, I threw my phone away, got out of bed and wrote it myself.
It took me forty minutes, scribbled the first chapter of the book, and then threw it to the editor.
Twenty of those forty minutes were spent looking up the Bestiary and selecting mods.
When I wrote the first chapter, I didn't know that there were so many scenes behind the court archmage who mentioned it, and I just wanted to hear through the protagonist that the archmage only thought about his own teacher, highlighting his teacher's awesomeness.
At this time, I didn't even know that the Kosanian Empire was an electoral state like the HRE.
I just wanted to write the kind of introductory paragraph that people who run a group are familiar with - this is a term that refers to the DM (that is, the host in the script kill) making up a story when running a group and bringing the players' characters together.
So, in the tavern, a mage with an extraordinary background took on a mission to meet his client and teammates.
It's such a simple beginning, and it is painted out at once.
Of course, because I'm the one who wrote it, so there was a silver-haired girl in the first chapter.,Originally, I wanted to put on braids and glasses.,But the princess's intelligence doesn't seem to match this image.γ So let's talk about it later.
After writing this beginning, I continued to read old books, and fell asleep after reading them.
I didn't expect to wake up and this opening passed.
In fact, I don't want to write after I wake up, what about the trouble, the tears of the kingdom will come out soon, who opens the book at this time, stupid?
However, the editor had already finished the manuscript and desperately urged me to write a few more chapters, so I couldn't help it, and the story was born.
In fact, looking back now, you will find a lot of traces of changing the direction of the story in the middle. I don't really have an outline. The princess's second brother Bruce was in the villain position from the beginning, and I was portrayed as a villain.
At first, I really planned to write about it.
Mark became an inner ghost, which is also something that only started in chapter 5, and he was a good guy at first. After Mark turned the ghost, my original plan was that he was a nail planted by Don, and I thought so until I wrote the underground chapter, but in the end, I thought, it seems that there is a lack of a boss fight, then you, Mark.
This kind of idea of temporary brain-slapping will definitely have loopholes. So I can only use a few hasty sentences to bring Mark's background check or something.
Loopholes are loopholes, and the effect is good!
There's also a loophole.,It's to resurrect Irwin with a scroll.,It's when I wrote that Bruce promised to use the resurrection scroll to exchange dragon-like magic with the protagonist.,It suddenly remembered.,Is it possible to resurrect Irvin and ask for information.γ After discovering this, I hurriedly hit a bunch of patches.
Fortunately, in order to be able to play Tears of the Kingdom, I suppressed the urge to post after writing this time, and this time I have a manuscript! In the past, I wouldn't make big changes to the chapters that had already been released, I could only make mistakes and make mistakes, and the result would be more and more deviant, and in the end, it would be like the mountain code of some games, and finally I was exhausted and had to give up.
This time, it's really because there are a lot of saved drafts for Tears of the Kingdom, so I can go back to the head and revise it. Personally, I am very grateful to Nintendo. In the future, in order to be able to play other games that I expect to come out again, I decided to keep the manuscript all the time.
In this way, once you find that the writing is wrong, you can go back and change it again.
Back to Erwin.
Originally, this resurrection scroll was intended to be used by the protagonist's team to carry it with a backdrop.,I also thought that when the protagonist tore the scroll to resurrect the princess in the future.,Let him understand the true meaning of love.γ
It's a pity that there is no way for the protagonist to understand the true meaning of love for the time being.
And the picture frame, my original idea was that this frame was Urwin's orphanage when he was a child, and the protagonist found the orphanage, learned about his process of leaving the orphanage, and then followed his path to finally find the Order.
It was only when I was writing about the torture of the resurrected Irvin that it occurred to me: Hey, it seems that it could be more direct, the orphanage is a false memory generated by the ban, and it is actually the headquarters of the Order!
I'll leave this idea here for now, and when I actually hit the Order's headquarters, you can come back and compare what I have a good idea.
For me, writing a book this time is so cool, I can write wherever I want, because I have a manuscript, and I can go back to the front and insert foreshadowing.
There are too many things to change temporarily like this, like the emperor, who was originally a very pure villain, and it was over when he was killed, but in the end he was given a trial, and there was also a "Rainy Season in Casterme".
This "Scarlet Banquet" is also a temporary idea, mainly because Crusader Kings 3 has updated the DLC, and there is a Scarlet Wedding and Scarlet Banquet.
The final judgment of the king was also not originally planned, and it was temporarily stuffed in when it was written.
Of course, not every inspiration can survive to the end, such as writing about the untouchables being escorted to the execution ground, I don't know how to have a brain pump, I wrote that he sang "Beat you with a steel whip", and it was released on a regular basis. Later, I looked back, what is this, so I deleted it.
It's been sent out before it, and it's estimated that I'm already being scolded.
All in all, the fact that this volume was completed and how complete it was to be blessed by the God of Inspiration β and to the fact that Tears of the Kingdom forced me to save the manuscript. Thank you, Link, thank you, Nintendo.
As for those humorous jokes, this is mainly because I am a very humorous person. All of my works basically have this element.
I looked back at this and realized what it was. There are all kinds of lofty things in the aftermath of the volume, and my afterwords in this volume look like a brain teaser record.
But there is no way, what creative concept and intention people talk about, that is what people have. I didn't, I really thought of writing anywhere, really scribbling.
Such a scribbled book did not expect any results in the first place. And you see, I've written all about Western fantasy, and this category can't be cooler anymore.
Write Western fantasy at the starting point, and if you want to be popular, you have to go to the game classification, and take the path of amber flow.
But I don't want that data-based, systematic-based stuff.
So the results you have seen now.,I don't know how I got on Sanjiang.,This book is very bad to read.,And it's the kind of thing that no matter how you add to the collection.,It's bad to read without adding.γ
Who writes Western Fantasy when you come up with results.
At that time, the book was edited very quickly, and there was no mention of revisions, so I asked with a glimmer of hope: "Is this book particularly top?" β
The editor smiled: "You have written DND, and I can't give you advice." If I really want to make a suggestion, I would advise you not to write about this subject. β
But I wrote it anyway.
My original intention was to write a serious 800 Western fantasy like "Dragon Lance Chronicles" and "Dragon Lance Legend", of course, because of personal preference, there may be a little bit of Japanese fantasy elements like "Rhode Island Wars".
So far, it seems that this goal has been achieved quite well.
The first volume is currently over in a way that I'm more satisfied with, with the main characters descending the river, ready to follow the clues that were hard to obtain. The cat people set off in reverse, in search of their own tribe.
The departure of the cat man is to pave the way for the elven archers to join in the future, a fantasy story, why is there no elven archers? However, her departure from the team has also become the nourishment for the growth of the protagonist, but this nerd immediately began to do quantitative analysis.
My vision for the main character squad is this: everyone has their own irreplaceability, so there can be no duplicate classes.
Then try to be as diverse as ethnically possible. So you see that the cat and the werewolf overlap a bit, they are both characters with animal ears, and one is enough. In the future, there will be a soul sucker or a Ventini, and there will only be one.
I wanted everyone to have enough distinctive characteristics, so Marika gave up the possibility of becoming a drow ranger, and she didn't have an animal companion Sekihaefa. In the future, in some plots, let Cui Sanye appear as a rescuer to save the end, I don't know, after all, there is no outline.
Elf I was going to let Legolas appear as it is, but according to the rules of the starting point, with the addition of the original character of the Lord of the Rings, this book will be defined as the doujin of the Lord of the Rings. So you're probably going to see an elf sister who's as sassy as Legolas.
And then the dwarf bard, the halflingβthe halfling didn't think about anything, after all, there was already a wanderer, and there was no need to add another snitch.
Of course, there are also paladins, how can a fantasy story be without a paladin? It's also a pleasure to see how the paladins are fooled into teaming up with the drow elves. I haven't figured out how to fool me yet, though.
In the future, it will probably follow the rhythm of adding a new character to one volume.
However, I don't have an outline, and I can mess around.
There is also an element of farming.
Actually, I personally like the kingdom system in "The King", although it is very badly done, but there is a feeling that I have really become the king of a country in the fantasy world.
I also like the stronghold system in Pillars of Eternity.
But this book, in general, is an adventure story, and the main character is on the move the whole time, from one place to another. So this farming might be done by running a ship or an airship or something.
I don't know exactly how to add it, but maybe I'll add it tomorrow as soon as I pat my head.
That's all for the next plan of the book, I really don't have an outline, I don't know what to talk about.
Oh yes, there's still something certain.,For example, the protagonist will get the ogre power glove later.,Or just recognize him.,Why add this.,One is that when I was in junior high school, I liked Li Rongdao's "Dragon Family" (not the Jiangnan one), so pay tribute.
Second, the mage, the mage's ultimate dream is to go up to hand-to-hand combat, and the protagonist can't perform Tansen Transfiguration for the time being, so give him the ogre power glove and let him slash with a two-handed sword.
I'll tell you the truth, it's easy for me to deviate from this kind of brain-beating creation, and I won't be able to pull it back in the future, and there is also the possibility of eunuchs.
That's why I'm just putting it on the shelves in this position.
Except for the clues of the church, I did not leave the so-called "buckle" at all, for every reader, the first volume is a relatively complete story, and there should be nothing to worry about.
So if you're worried about eunuchs or something, you don't have to continue watching it, or wait until I'm done to read the evaluation and then decide whether to watch it or not.
If you are willing to continue watching, then today (June 8, 2023) at 20:05 pm, welcome back, our journey continues.
In order to quickly enter the plot of the second volume, at 20:05 tonight, I am preparing ten watches, which will include the first small climax of the second volume.
Later, as usual, it's eight in the morning and eight in the evening, and there are too many games this year, such as July 14th, there is "Predator 3" that I've been looking forward to for a long time.
Every one of them wants to spend a few days forgetting to eat and sleep, so I have to save the manuscript. My output is about three chapters a day, save one chapter and send two chapters, and I can free up time for the game.
Of course, sometimes there are particularly intriguing episodes, and I will post an extra chapter as appropriate to keep you from falling asleep with concerns.
That's it.
