Volume 1 Sword into the rivers and lakes Testimonials at the end of the volume Do and listen to the book
Before you know it, 300,000 words leap onto the page.
The content of the first volume is coming to an end, and I always feel that I should write something, but I am afraid that everyone will think that Xiao Liuer is hypocritical when I write it.
300,000 words may be nothing more than an inconspicuous stroke in a long writing career for an online writer.
From the opening of the book to the signing of the contract, and now to the 300,000 words, ready to be put on the shelves, seventy-two days, step by step, Xiao Liu'er can be said to have a lot of emotion.
How many days and nights have I worked hard to write, meditate, repeatedly scrutinize one plot after another, and conceive one character after another.
To be honest, without the attention and support of readers and friends, without the corrections and suggestions of the authors and friends around him, and without the continuous encouragement and help of the editors, it would be difficult for Xiao Liuer to get to this point, and it would be difficult for him to have the courage and motivation to continue to move forward.
"I Have a Jianghu", from the initial formulation of the outline, laying the plot, to the later addition of branches and leaves, after several additions and deletions, I don't know how much thought was spent.
The completion of this work is not only Xiao Liuer's vision today, but also the pursuit and continuation of the past dream, and the best interpretation of the sword in his heart.
The rivers and lakes are like a stage, the curtain rises and falls, comes and goes, there are big legends, small and small wonderful.
The structure of this work is relatively large, and the original definition was not a fantasy work, but a genuine martial arts work.
Later, due to some reasons, coupled with repeated scrutiny of the follow-up plot, Xiao Liuer finally defined it as a fantasy work and implanted a unique "Jianghu" system.
In the final analysis, this is a fantasy system with a strong martial arts color, but it is very different from the common system texts on weekdays.
300,000 words, the main plot is about to usher in the two climaxes of the business district and the wind and clouds, and the protagonist will also further come into contact with the various secrets behind the court and the rivers and lakes.
Serialized so far, the overall direction of thought is barely reasonable, and some details and rhythm control are a little unsatisfactory.
In the process of reading, I believe that some readers and friends will also have more or less doubts, and some friends around me have also put forward some valuable suggestions to Xiao Liuer.
Since a single chapter is devoted to these issues, Xiao Liu'er feels that it is necessary to expand on this and further analyze and elaborate on some of the contents and characters in the book.
There are many things to say, and it is not enough to say them in a few words.
Xiao Liu'er is as compressed and streamlined as possible, and will not occupy the precious time of readers and friends.
I hope you don't be idle and bear with me.
One of them: about the system.
The implantation of the "rivers and lakes" system is the result of Xiao Liuer's careful consideration, and the name "I Have a River and Lakes" was born together.
The tide of online literature is turbulent, and countless works are like lonely boats sailing on the waves, rushing around.
Jianghu, it seems that it should be a common noun in martial arts novels, and it is somewhat lacking in meaning when used in fantasy works.
However, the story constructed by Xiao Liu'er is far from being expounded by traditional martial arts works. Perhaps Xiao Liu'er's pen power is limited, and he needs to borrow some ethereal and fantastical means to achieve his goal.
I believe that some readers and friends will wonder why they don't turn to martial arts fantasy because traditional martial arts works can't be controlled, or the background is alternate, and the new school of martial arts.
In this way, it not only preserves the unique martial arts charm of the work, but also adds branches and leaves, and does not stick to one style.
In fact, what Xiao Liu'er wants to say is that whether it is a martial arts novel or a fantasy work, the most important thing is not to be entangled in what kind of expression, but how to write the story to the extent that he is satisfied with his heart, and express it vividly.
After thinking about it again, Xiao Liu'er decided to give up the category of martial arts novels and turn this book into a genuine fantasy work.
Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy.
The biggest feature of fantasy works is that they can give full play to the imagination space, as long as it is logical, it can transcend reality.
Since you want to write fantasy, you should always add something different.
After pondering for a long time, Xiao Liu'er decided to boldly implant a system, a unique golden finger that had never been seen before.
A wordless book, called "Jianghu".
I believe that when everyone sees this plot at first glance, they will think that it is some kind of ancient practice cheats, or it will be the carrier of the soul of some powerful character.
Until later, the mystery of this Jianghu system was unveiled one by one, and some people may be surprised and some people are bored.
To be honest, a system like this is not uncommon in other categories of works, and even in many fantasy works, traces can be captured.
But an elaboration method like Xiao Liu'er, if not the first, should be able to barely be called quite distinctive.
(A small wave of boasting, don't beat it to death with a stick เน><เน)
The system of "rivers and lakes" is actually borrowed from the most common online game plots.
Fight monsters to level up, complete the main quest, and receive mission rewards. From time to time, some kind of adventure is triggered, and the branch lines are spread out like a tree-like map, forming a huge plot network.
The only difference is that this wordless book is able to record all kinds of experiences that have happened in the past and make predictions about what will happen in the future.
The title of the book is Jianghu, and the title of the text is "Jianghu".
The content in the wordless book may be the plot in "I Have a Jianghu".
Seeing this, I believe that some readers and friends will have another classic masterpiece in their minds.
Mr. Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions", also known as "The Story of Stones", borrows the method of stubborn petrified jade and going to the gentle and wealthy countryside to tell this story completely.
Tongling Baoyu is not only the witness of the story, but also the experiencer of the story, and the recorder of the story.
In the same way, the wordless book is not only an extraordinary system, but also the most important key carrier in this work.
A book, a system, a river.
You have me, I have you.
It is by virtue of this means that the protagonist can become strong step by step, maneuvering between the rivers and lakes and temples.
Second: about the protagonist.
There are many readers and friends who have reported this problem to me more than once, from the first chapter to the last chapter of the current serialization, except for individual plots, only a few words, very few can find the name of the protagonist, but all borrowed from the teenager instead.
Regarding this point, what Xiao Liu'er wants to say is that whether it is rivers and lakes or teenagers, it is just a name.
Perhaps for most readers and friends, they are used to seeing works with the names of the protagonists throughout, and it is a little difficult to accept them to change to such a style all of a sudden.
It's really not that Xiao Liu'er is stingy with pen and ink, and it's not that he can't think of any better names.
The protagonist is a medical student who has traveled from modern times, formerly known as Jiang Chen, and now he is in a different world, and he has changed his name to Jianghu.
Jianghu once again mentioned this term.
There may be readers and friends who are puzzled, the left one is one and the right is one Jianghu, even if it is a good thing, if you chew and swallow it repeatedly, I am afraid that you will lose interest and produce aesthetic fatigue.
But this is exactly the case, Xiao Liuer's work is born by relying on the rivers and lakes, and it is naturally inseparable from the rivers and lakes everywhere.
The background of the protagonist's life experience is quite complex, and it can be regarded as a contradiction caused by the integration of rivers and lakes and the court, and it is an extremely alternative existence in itself.
The protagonist walks the rivers and lakes, like a fish in water, relying on the righteousness of the rivers and lakes.
I am for the rivers and lakes, I have the rivers and lakes.
Among the rivers and lakes, there are even more rivers and lakes.
I believe that when the protagonist's life story is revealed later, readers and friends will understand the true intention of Xiao Liu'er to give him this name.
Third: about the heroine.
The soul of a fantasy work, excluding the protagonist and plot, even depends on the heroine in it.
When it comes to this matter, in fact, the most important responsibility lies in Xiao Liuer's thoughtfulness at the beginning and ignoring the issue of the time when the heroine appeared.
So far, there are only a handful of female characters in the book.
Although it is indeed due to the limitations of the plot, Xiao Liuer has to admit that it does ignore the feelings of many readers and friends.
In the next stage of the plot, Shangmeng Dabi and Fengyun Dabi, there will be several important female characters who will appear one after another, including the soul heroine of this book.
There is no shortage of swords and swords in the rivers and lakes, there is no shortage of chivalrous courage, and naturally there will be no shortage of children's affection.
There is blood, tears, and feelings, so that it can be regarded as a real and genuine Jianghu.
Fourth: about the characters in the book.
The role of dialect may make most readers and friends see it in a fog and don't know why.
But according to some of the plots mentioned above, some readers must have guessed his true identity.
At first, it was just a small patrol in Longtan County, but later he was inexplicably involved in a fight, helping the boy break out of the Longtan Tiger's Den, and was willing to follow him into Qingzhou.
With the continuous development of the plot, it seems that the identity of the patrol head can no longer hide his sharp spirit.
Asking the cultivation of the Heavenly Realm, he knows everything about the big and small affairs in Qingzhou, and knows everything.
Such a legendary figure is enough to be regarded as a noble person that the protagonist has met in his life.
If there was no dialect to accompany him and protect him carefully in the early stage, the young man would definitely not be able to maneuver between several forces so easily, and he would still be able to retreat with his whole body and turn the danger into a disaster repeatedly.
The emergence of dialects is not accidental, but the change in their emotional attitude towards teenagers is indeed from the heart and has not been influenced by others.
As for the gray mouse, he loves money like his life, is cunning and resourceful, and reveals an evil spirit in his bones, but when he treats friends and brothers, he is true to the same and puts his heart in his heart.
Such a character who dares to love and hate, sometimes passionate, sometimes absurd, can be said to be the soul of this book.
I'm sure you've noticed the last few chapters, where the gray mouse uses the fangs in his mouth to use strange moves that he has never seen before, and in one fell swoop he repels the masked killer who came to ambush him.
In fact, the identity power represented behind the gray mouse is also extraordinary, and it has a close relationship with the protagonist and has a lot of origins.
These will be revealed in the second volume.
Besides, the two brothers Shi and Shi Man, hunters in the mountains, were born honest and simple. Shi Man is bold and careful, and Shi is reckless.
Looking at the previous article, these two characters don't seem to be as vivid and brilliant as Fang Yan and Gray Mouse, and they can't even be compared with Qin Yun's generation.
But it is precisely because of these two characters with a low sense of existence that the plot is complete and coherent.
In fact, the identities of the two brothers are far from being as simple as they seem.
Part of the plot content in the second volume will be used as a base point for extravagant expansion.
Along with these two in the text, there is a mountain whose origin is still unknown.
Relatively speaking, although Dashan is honest, he is more shrewd and wise, and he seems to have no scheming on the surface, but in fact, he has a hidden city in his heart.
The origin of the incident in Longtan County is caused by the mysterious pendant with fine workmanship on its neck. Behind it is a shocking secret that is enough to make the entire Great Zhou Dynasty and the rivers and lakes tremble.
Some of the contents of the second volume, and even the main content of the third volume, are related to this matter.
The last old Mr. Huang, who has explained his family background in the previous article, has been running around all his life, and is deeply trapped in the sea of blood and hatred, and he knows that he is unable to compete with the enemy, so he has to be forced to let go.
For such a role, it is dispensable, but he helps at countless critical moments.
seems to have a tragic fate, but in fact, it is a portrayal of countless real miniatures in the rivers and lakes.
Or perhaps, there is no supporting role in the rivers and lakes, and everyone can live their own wonderful life.
As for the remaining characters such as Qin Yun and Song Ruhai, they will occupy a lot of space in the second volume, so I will not elaborate too much here.
Fifth: about the plot and rhythm.
Writing this, Xiao Liu'er suddenly felt some inexplicable guilt and sourness in her heart.
This story has been conceived for a long time, constantly adding branches and leaves, rich and perfect, although it is not perfect, but it condenses the countless thoughts of Xiao Liu'er.
There is not much problem with the direction of the plot, but there is a big flaw in the pacing. So much so that Xiao Liu'er now wants to make up for it, but finds that he seems to have no way to start.
In fact, starting from the prologue, the content of each chapter is laying the groundwork and paving the way for the rest of the text.
But what is worth introspecting is that Xiao Liuer has been focusing on telling the story in her heart, but has not considered the feelings of readers and friends too much.
The explosion point is not dense, the pace of the content is slow, and the plot drags slightly.
The valuable suggestions put forward by these readers and friends made Xiao Liu'er think carefully for a long time and be able to make adjustments in time.
Although the first volume is unsatisfactory, Xiao Liuer still hopes that readers and friends can insist on reading the second volume.
Volume 2 will be the first climax of the book, and the most important plot content.
Countless characters compete to appear, and many secrets are revealed one by one.
Xiao Liu'er firmly believes that it will definitely bring you a different experience and feelings.
Sixth: about the update.
Since Xiao Liu'er is still an undergraduate student, he cannot devote himself to the creation of his works.
From the first month's two daily shifts, to the current month's daily shifts. Although the number of updates has decreased, Xiao Liuer is still trying to meet the needs of readers and friends.
There is more time and more energy.
Little Liuer will definitely live up to everyone's support and attention!
When I write this, I still have a thousand words in my heart, but I don't know how to express them.
I have said so much to myself, I don't know how many readers and friends will understand, or feel a little irritable.
It doesn't matter if you're relieved or tangled.
At this moment, Xiao Liu'er can only calm down and work hard to write the next story, so that he can be worthy of your encouragement and support.
Fighting the sword into the rivers and lakes, the road to the rivers and lakes is far from being as flat and wide as imagined, but muddy and rugged, and it is difficult to move an inch.
Finally, I would like to thank all readers, writers, and editors.
The rivers and lakes are far away, it is better to pour tea with warm wine, and listen to books.
