Front-row tip: Today is a chapter, which is considered a half-day off.

And this summary is a bit too many words, everyone can read it if they want to read it, and you can skip it if you don't want to read it.

……

The first volume was finished, and it was actually written very early, but the new book period is not good......

Here, Dabai will talk to you about the creative ideas of this book and the creative ideas of the first volume.

……

The first is the idea of the whole book.

When I opened the book, I told my brothers in the book friend group that I had designed the outline of the first two volumes of this book, and I had not yet designed the outline of the third volume.

Because in the plan, the outline of the first two volumes will be a fairly complete story.

In my humble opinion, a complete story is indispensable for foreshadowing, all kinds of supporting characters, and a story line that at least has to be reasonable and logical.

Well, back to the point.

The inspiration for this book......

Derived from my previous book, the outline of the second volume of the Lord of the Ten Thousand Tribulations......

It's true.

In the previous book, due to physical reasons, I didn't finish the story, but in the outline, I designed the battle for the throne of Jingguo, I personally think it's still a bit interesting and a little feeling.

After a year of recuperation, I wanted to open a book, and after thinking about it, I took out this background and used it.

Therefore, the design logic of the first two volumes of this book follows this logic from top to bottom.

- What does this mean?

That is, there is the biggest main plot of the second volume first, first there are those supporting characters I want to write, and then I will sort out the logical ideas of the story plot on this line, and go down little by little, down to the bottom, Xuanshui City and the protagonist.

There is a story first, there are supporting characters first, and then according to the story and plot ideas, the character design of the protagonist and the matching golden finger are designed.

This idea is a bit incompatible with the current rhythm of online writing.

Because everyone wants to see the protagonist, they want to see the small climax and the big climax, and the heavy feeling is light on the plot.

But it's not like this for all readers, and I was actually struggling with it before I opened this book.

After a year off, I read books and stories every day, and I know what readers like to read, and I know why those books with explosive grades do well.

But there is one thing that you may not understand......

I've tried the kind of essay that wins with structure, which is the kind of three-chapter small climax and ten chapters big climax.

I can't really write well.

We all know that writing cool articles makes money, so why don't I see anyone who can make money from cool articles?

Because some people are not good at this thing, they can't grasp the rhythm of the plot and the rhythm of the refreshing feeling!

So I just gritted my teeth.

Come at my own pace, according to my own style habits.

I've always felt that if the author doesn't have the passion to write a book himself, but just writes it like a machine according to the designed skills, templates, and routines, it probably won't impress the reader - of course, it's more likely that I have limited ability and haven't mastered the technology......

That's not to say.

……

Back to this first volume.

The first volume is based on a crossbow armor smuggling line in Xuanshui City, bringing out the main character, and bringing out some foreshadowing and supporting characters.

The core is the three questions in the rain killing the building.

These three questions run through much of the causal logic of this volume.

From the beginning of the design, the content of this first volume also came from top to bottom - first there was the incident of Zhou Tiyu coming to Xuanshui City, and then the death of Lu Yao triggered a series of follow-up reactions.

And the protagonist's time travel is after the incident.

But in terms of writing, I put the cause of this incident at the end, that is, in the two chapters of One Word.

In doing so, I actually have my own careful eye.

You can't start the book by saying that you're putting the protagonist in a doom that you can't avoid, because that kind of heavy pressure will dissuade most readers.

And I feel like it might be better to write it that way.

It's still a humble opinion, which makes everyone laugh.

Back to the book.

The story of the first volume is actually not complicated, and now that the first volume is finished, if the big guy reviews it, he can clearly see through all the contexts in it.

And there is no plot that reverses for the sake of reversal - everything is logical and logical, everyone, everything they do, may not be the best and best choice, but it must be a reasonable choice that is in line with the character traits of the character.

And the purpose of the first volume is, first, to pave the way for the next story and to lay the groundwork - for example, Emperor Zhou Chang, for example, the big guy feels very abrupt......

Second, and most importantly, this is the most important point.

The ferocity of the protagonist is fierce and bloody.

As mentioned before, the design idea of this book is from top to bottom, with the main plot first, and then the protagonist and Goldfinger.

After the main plot was designed, I thought about what kind of protagonist I wanted to design - the character of this protagonist, he had to fit the rhythm of the story.

And according to the overall idea of the first two volumes, the character traits of the entire protagonist are released.

It has to be fierce, bloody, and ferocious.

There must be a murderous instinct to draw a sword when there is injustice!

He can leave a way out for himself when he knows that he can't do anything, and he can also distinguish the difference between "desperate" and "death".

But if there is a half-star possibility, the protagonist does not lack the courage to fight to the death.

Thus, the plot trend of the first volume came out.

I threw Lu Ming into a dead end of "if you don't fight, you have to die", trying to cultivate this qi in the protagonist's chest.

As for how to shape it, this is a matter of opinion.

……

Let's talk about the disadvantages.

The shortcomings of this book are actually self-explanatory.

First: the way of writing flashbacks will inevitably bring some confusion to everyone's reading experience.

At the same time, due to the reason for the unrevealed story in the early stage, it will also lead to everyone not being able to match the protagonist's thinking, and feel that some of the protagonist's decisions are quite mentally retarded.

- Why don't you run?

Well, that's what I read the most.

However, this is an inevitable controversy brought about by the way it is written, and I haven't found a good way to deal with it.

Second: There are too many supporting character descriptions and psychological descriptions.

As mentioned above, the big guy likes to watch the protagonist, and likes to watch the protagonist pretend to kill and kill all sides with rivers of blood.

But in this book, a lot of the time I will focus on the supporting characters, which is somewhat similar to group portraits, but in fact, this book can't be completely said to be a group portrait essay - I can't deceive myself, count the words in the supporting characters, and then explain to the big guy that this book is about group portraits.

It's really not a group portrait, at least it doesn't deserve the label of a group portrait......

I just wanted to write the supporting role a little more vividly, don't make a supporting role, and then everyone read a few words: Oh, this person is like this. Oh, the man is like this.

Like a puppet.

I don't have the ability to make passers-by vivid and vivid.

But I did want to write a few supporting characters that people will remember.

It is difficult for a person, a protagonist, to bring up a vivid world in the book, a chaotic country and rivers and lakes full of various elements.

This requires many, many supporting characters with different images.

Maybe the protagonist is very dick and awesome, systematic, and his personality traits are also outstanding.

But this does not mean that some supporting roles can only be wildflowers and weeds on the side of the road, not even green leaves.

In fact, I personally feel that the most satisfying thing in this first volume is the shaping of Yuqing's supporting role.

When I wrote about him, I did laugh, and when Yuqing "resigned", I also had some mood swings in my heart.

He was a good brother, a good uncle, and a good elder.

He will protect the children of the weaker side, for example, he protects Lu Ming, for example, Lu Ming's reaction to killing the Jade Rakshasa Yuqing is very excessive.

The second supporting role that satisfies me is actually the two leaders of the Tiger Roar Battalion.

But focusing on them may not be much pen and ink, and my pen power is not enough, so you may not have a deep understanding.

……

Well, if you accidentally talk too much, let's get back to the point.

Focusing on the supporting characters will inevitably lead to a lengthy plot that looks like hydrology......

But there is a solution.

Sometimes, a sentence from a supporting character can actually highlight the character characteristics of the supporting role, and it can also describe the supporting role vividly - I try my best to do this, and it is also where I need to grow and strengthen.

No matter how bad it is, it's even worse.

There is no problem with the quick explosion and bringing the relevant plot over.

And there is no good way to avoid the aspect of too many psychological descriptions.

As I said earlier, in fact, the main purpose of the first volume is to nurture the protagonist with fierceness and fierceness.

As a modern person, after crossing over, there will always be some feelings and experiences, so in the first volume, there will be a little more ink in this regard.

But the first volume is over, and by the second volume, the tone of the protagonist has also been set, and there is no need to be so cumbersome in the second volume.

Third: The Problem of Awkward Poetry......

Uh, this blames me, I've watched too many puppet shows and listened to a lot of storytelling...... The frequency of this will be reduced in the future.

Fourth: Lack of coolness.

This is what I expected, because there is too much external pressure and too much urgency, and there is no room for the protagonist to pretend easily in the first volume.

Survival in death, the first line of desperate struggle is the main theme of this first volume.

However, this problem is much better in the second volume.

……

By the way, let's talk about the story of the second volume.

The story in the second volume, which may be about a million words long, is roughly divided into two parts.

Rivers and lakes.

Kyoto.

Let's talk about this river and lake first.

Everyone's understanding of the rivers and lakes is different.

In my understanding, the rivers and lakes are chivalrous, but they are also hateful.

Chivalrous, vicious.

Chivalrous, happy revenge.

Warriors, so brave and ruthless.

There is justice, there is blood, there is punishment and evil.

There is evil, there is calculation, and there is bullying.

Some book friends commented like this, I think it's quite interesting: underworld rivers and lakes, underworld martial arts, underworld royalty, underworld protagonists......

Strong, weak ignorant.

I pondered for a moment, but there was nothing more to say.

Because it's a fact.

Because the background of this book is dark and bloody, it is the supremacy of fist power, and it is a very naked law of the jungle.

However, in a fantasy world where force is the foundation, this background does not seem to be surprising.

Therefore, the three views of the characters in the book are sometimes different from those of modern people - such as servility.

Of course, it is not to say that all the villains in this book, and the diversity of supporting characters is also what I am pursuing.

In short, fiction is fiction and reality is reality. There are still differences in the background of the three views of countries from country to country, let alone fiction and reality.

It's a big deal, back to the point.

The first half of the second volume will talk about the martial arts of the Zhou Kingdom.

Zhenguo Holy Gate, two giants, two factories in the east and west, four sects of Taoism and Buddhism, five great families, eight great sword gates, nine demons, and thirteen gangs.

Much, right?

Many, too much......

More characters.

In the upper three grades of Zhou alone, there are eleven.

Is it messy?

When I came up with it, it felt like it was too messy.

If you want to write well, you will have more pen and ink, and if you have more pen and ink, the rhythm will be messed up, and it will become very watery.

- Actually, there is a fact that I am not afraid of everyone knowing, any writing travel plot, the grades will plummet.

Therefore, I will use a clever method to show this story, and strive to combine the cool points, characters, supporting roles, and plot together, and make it more streamlined.

Well, when I think of this "tricky method", I get a little excited again.

Now that the ferocity and fierceness have been raised, there is no reason to hold it back, right?

And Kyoto is ...... After writing the first half of the second volume, it will naturally come out.

……

It's a bit lengthy and confusing, and it's basically just thinking of what to say, and everyone laughs.

Finally, let's summarize:

No one is perfect, and no book is perfect.

There are many shortcomings in this book, and I won't say them all, some shortcomings can be avoided, some shortcomings may be advantages in the eyes of some readers, and some shortcomings are really limited by the author's ability, and the level is really not enough.

As for the pros...... I'm not going to talk about that......

One thing is certain, though.

I wrote this book with my heart, and this time I don't want to care about the grades, write well, finish this book, have other feelings, want to make other changes, that is also the next book.

I haven't been back for a year, but this time I'm back, not to mention anything else, to write a complete story for everyone, which still has to be done.

And to be honest, the results of this book are not bad, and Sanjiang's release on the shelves of the new book issue is also considered a success.

I have to thank the big guys for their support, and thank you here.

Now, the plot of the first volume is finished.

The first volume does not talk about foreshadowing, if it is taken out alone, this is also a relatively complete story.

The causal logic of all is traceable, and most of the characters who appear have endings.

And you can actually review it again, any choice made by anyone in the first volume is either reasonable or reasonable.

The only thing that doesn't make sense is the ghost of Ling Ethereal - why does she help the protagonist?

But this is foreshadowing.

Originally, I really wanted the card to be on the shelf, but after a few explosions, the rhythm was chaotic, and there was no way to talk about the card on the shelf.

But I think that's a good thing.

The story of the first volume, I will present it to you, everyone tastes the product, if you feel that the right way, the second volume also asks for your support. If you feel that the wrong way is wrong, I really can't help this point of delaying time, but you can save this aspect of coins.

I think that's an acceptable thing for me and for the big guys.

This book will be on the shelves next Tuesday at 12 p.m., the day after tomorrow.

After that, it began to enter the explosion link.

If you think this story is still a little interesting.

We ask for your support.

Thank you all in advance.

……

By the way, today's update, count as a leave, and start the story of the second volume tomorrow.
