[Written to you]
"The Legend of Situ Mountain" ended today.
This is the third and final part of the "Ghost Hunter" trilogy after "Fourteen Years of Ghost Hunters" and "Strange Road Hu Zongren".
The book didn't last a long time, but it was four months long, and those of you who know me well will know that I'm a very lazy person, so it's quite a challenge for me to keep updating every day. I'm very happy that I actually did it, and I have never stopped changing it for the past four months.
Let's talk about my thoughts, I actually prepared this book for a long time before I started writing it, and the reason why I chose to write in the first person "I" is to let everyone have a better sense of substitution, and imagine what I should do when I am the protagonist and encounter the same thing. In fact, like most of my friends who read this book, I didn't go through that kind of time, especially that tumultuous decade. Therefore, when describing these scenes, I read a lot of other people's accounts and put them into my own perspective, trying to restore the era that had to be mentioned. (Although I have been greatly requested to revise by the editors of the review for this reason many times, it has been hard work.) )
The process of writing this book was a stumble, as almost all of my ideas before publication were denied. The main responsibility for this lies in myself, probably because I am not a professional author, and I am always unable to grasp the main points of current online literature, perhaps I need to firmly grasp the hearts of readers in the first three thousand words of the first chapter, so that readers can feel interesting when they finish reading the first chapter, and are willing to chase after reading it, rather than scolding the author for writing something stupid X or something after reading it.
Obviously, I belong to the latter, because I don't know the rules of online literature so much that I want to understand this character before everyone takes on this role, so I have to spend a lot of space to explain the life experience of the protagonist, and even recount the story of the protagonist's ancestor who was an official, met a strange monk on the road, and begged for a bowl of water to drink.
In my opinion, these stories are the premise and the means not to make the reader look abrupt, but in online literature, such an update method can only be a dead end.
So I have to thank my editor-in-charge, Maitreya. It was he who hit the nail on the head and told me what the problem was with writing like this, how it would be very dangerous to do it, and it was precisely because of his encouragement to me after I repeatedly stabbed Lou Zi and gave me suggestions for revisions to help me promote that this book has not been written by me until now.
So when you go back and read the previous chapters, you will find that the pace has become much faster, and I have kneaded the content of about ten chapters into one chapter, just to give readers a sense of happiness and revenge, only in this way can it meet the writing standards of online literature, and it is also where I need to learn.
Therefore, when I wrote the end of the first volume, I began to get used to this way of writing, but because of the fast pace of pushing, many of the plots that I started to write after I had listed the outline and outline, especially about some traditional folklore knowledge, I can't go into details, which means that the article I updated today was not actually in last night's plan.
I know that when this book is finished, everyone will be sure to make a mental comparison of these trilogies, and I mean all of you who know me well. Maybe the viral popularity of "Fourteen Years" at the beginning gave everyone an expectation of my new story, hoping that I could copy the classics of "Fourteen Years", but as I often say, I am just a storyteller, and of all the stories I have said, the current "The Legend of Situ Mountain" is the one that I think is the highest and largest in depth and pattern, and it is also my favorite one.
Therefore, in the midst of different opinions, it is better to spend their own eyes. "The Legend of Situ Mountain" may be my last supernatural work about "ghosts and gods", and after the trilogy is over, it should be time to say goodbye.
Finally, I would like to thank the friends who collected and read my book, as well as those who followed me all the way, my most loyal and lovely old readers, I really hope that I did not disappoint you, and borrowed a sentence from "Lin Qishan" in the book to Situ Shankong: "Let them know why I am proud of you." ”
I want to be your pride in my lifetime.
Thank you for four months of companionship and listening, may we cherish goodbye.
