What is an online game novel?

Today, there are many online game novels.

Anyone can write online game novels, because the background of the game can be completely set by oneself, history can be imaginary, different worlds can be created, and classics can be relied on... Therefore, there are so many online game novels. What makes online game novels fascinating is that

There is a different life. Even a small person in the real world can dominate the virtual world. Even if he dies, he can be resurrected and start over. It can be said that many writers do not write about cultivation or fantasy.

It is precisely because of the various characteristics of online game novels that writers themselves like them very much.

"The Invisible Way of the Online Game" is a cultivation-type online game (Shushan style), in which flying swords and magic weapons are dazzling, and there are endless immortals and monsters. "The Piaotian Literature Game: The Sword Intent" is a martial arts online game, with lines rich in the flavor of ancient dragons and

The unique "field" system makes people immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves;

"Online Games: Legend of Eternal Life" is a cultivation-type (prehistoric) online game, in which saints plot innately, and all beings are ashes the day after tomorrow. The Western divine world... also has its own unique charm, which can be regarded as a continuation of the past and the future;

"Online Game: Headshot" and "Online Game: Gun Shot" are both gun-fighting online games, which express the sniper's style vividly and make people fascinated;

"The World of Online Games" is an introductory work on Piaotian literary games. Its first part (about an assassin who has become a hidden person) is classified as a fantasy online game. Dragons, unicorns, mermaids and other Western fantasy elements are also well regarded.

To describe it, in this Piaotian literature game, the protagonist gradually becomes stronger by recruiting subordinates, building dungeons, and defeating enemies. It is currently a very popular Piaotian literature game. The focus is on the confrontation between the protagonist and other great gods. Every game

You can see the excitement of the battle, and you can see the minds and operations of both parties in the battle.

"Starting from Scratch" can be regarded as a hodgepodge of online games. It is full of scientific knowledge, geographical knowledge and even psychological knowledge. In a virtual world that includes various civilizations, races, and countries, this knowledge plays an "edutainment and entertainment" role.

The effect (I laughed shamefully); and the national war system and the divine system are both eye-catching.

"Invincible Heroes" is a classic online game. Many writers have written novels based on "Diablo", "Warcraft", "Invincible Heroes" and "Legend". Although they are not called fan works, they are

It can also be regarded as borrowing from Qingyun. These novels are very strict in the settings of relevant arms and equipment (nonsense, other game companies are very strict when they set them up). In the same way, "Heart of Canaan" also relies on

Online games born from "Dungeons and Dragons", with the continuous rise of tabletop games, perhaps it is time to open up a special genre for them.

"Dark Necromancer" and "Master System" can be regarded as otherworldly online games. This type of novel is difficult to define, because the protagonist does not go to play in the online game, but to play in another world; but you

Just go, why can you upgrade there? You can also get experience by killing monsters? You can add points to your skills? Sometimes you can open the system mall and so on?... Should you be classified as a "different world" or an "online game"

"Woolen cloth?

"Online Games: The World" should be a romance online game. Everyone generally likes to watch the protagonist collect a harem and so on. The description of emotions and women is very delicate, and the writer may consider writing urban novels.



There are countless classics of online game novels. Many people like to read online game novels, but what is the definition of online game novels?

It's very simple, it's just the word "online game". I'm not trying to be mysterious, but I want to say that "online game" contains two elements at the same time. One is the "cultivation/fantasy/shooting/development/competition" mentioned just now.

, the other is "reality". Yes, any Piaotian literature game novel that likes online game novels is an important part and an inseparable part. From this perspective, the Piaotian literature game novel just listed must take into account both "online games" and

"Reality", so there will be a switch between two story lines. For many traditional readers, this is dizzying: I can't understand why you pinch it up and down for a while! My mother is like this. And

For experienced book lovers of online games, there is another question, which one is more exciting, "game" or "reality". It is undeniable that life in games is always more exciting, and reality cannot compare with it. So,

If you still want to watch it act like a bird, just skip over and watch it.

Therefore, how to handle the two story lines well is the most challenging aspect for writers. Let me summarize, there are several methods:

1. Erase "reality" and create a single story line. This method is very simple, but very effective. For example, everyone loves to see the game warehouse (scientific name is the health warehouse). As long as people lie down in it, there will be nutrient solution and high-tech instruments.

To maintain human physiological functions (simply put, it saves you from eating, drinking, sleeping), and the muscles do not degenerate. Once you lie down in the game cabin, you can play the game with all your heart; or the protagonist accidentally dies.

, consciousness cannot leave the game. There are too many games like this, so I won’t list them. Among the classics, "Online Game: Sword Intent" is the most amazing. I have never seen the protagonist go offline. The plot develops and develops, and all players are interested.

To live in the game, you cannot go offline.

Second, downplay the "reality" and have a single story line. This method is better than the previous one. For example, when humans conduct a collective interstellar voyage, everyone has to hibernate on the spacecraft, so the government launches a game so that everyone does not

As for boredom (although sleeping is also a matter of closing and opening your eyes, there is nothing boring); another example is that in reality, if you have certain assets and a family, you can usually leave it alone (see "The Invisible Way of Online Games" for details);

Or if both parents are dead or something, then you don’t have to see your parents every day (the protagonist is really miserable). After downplaying, the content of this astronomy tour has been maintained.

Third, deify "reality" and have dual story lines. Since people don't like to see reality, writers try their best to make reality attractive: In "Starting from Scratch", the protagonist Shenlin is a combination of many kinds of characters.

The "Dragon Clan" of biogenetic technology and electronic technology. Playing online games can lead to genetic modification, immortality and superpowers (see "Online Games: Legend of Immortality" for details); playing online games can also cure AIDS or other difficult and complicated diseases (see for details

"Online Games: Bloody Dream"); ​​playing online games can also exercise combat awareness. I remember that a certain Piaotian literature game was so magical. The reason for the magic lies in the game system. The setting of "Online Games: Legend of Eternal Life" is quite reasonable, but

In some online game novels, the main core of the game system is a black ball found from an ancient ruins (probably left by aliens). This ball has incredible power, or it is simply made of

Created by a god. Well, isn’t this cheating? Although there is no connotation in doing so, looking at it objectively, this is also the writer’s painstaking effort.

Fourth, flesh out "reality" and have two storylines. Online games are just tools. I want to use them to seduce my sister. I just want to play casually and have a prosperous life, and then marry a beautiful wife. This kind of thing

Literary travel in Piaotian seems not so important, but the reality is very addictive. To be honest, you should write urban novels about Lost Leaves, which must be read by many people. And "The Master" is a representative work of this type. How does the protagonist get it back?

Everything you once had, rise again?

Five, the most amazing thing is this. It erases both "reality" and "online games" and directly turns it into a "different world" with a single story line. The protagonist travels to a different world, and then fights monsters and upgrades like a game character, but cannot survive after death.

Resurrection. In this category, as long as the writer's writing skills are good, the story can be enhanced (the settings are provided by classic games anyway), so it is an easier category to write. I won't go into details here.

I mentioned five categories in one breath, just to introduce you to the different styles of online game novels. I didn't say which one is better and which one is not. After all, whether it is good or not depends on the "Invisible Way of Piaotian Literature Tour", its online game part

It's fascinating and really a rare masterpiece. Even if the protagonist is a shemale in reality, I will continue to watch it. This is a typical "flaws do not hide the flaws".

My thoughts on the literary travel novel "I Am a Piaotian":

A good online game novel is actually no different from novels such as fantasy and cultivation. As long as the characters are created with flesh and blood, the storyline can be smooth and attractive, and the Piaotian literature game novel can be used in the narrative. And an excellent online game novel must not

It is limited to online games, but it must also take into account reality and work on two lines in parallel.

Isn’t reality important? If all the fun can only be found in online games, then does reality still have meaning? Is it really okay to let book friends be instilled with such concepts? If you ignore life, it is just an emotion

Missing. And such a protagonist... will everyone really like it? The spirit can soar in the world of literature and fantasy, but we always live in reality, and there is no way to escape reality forever, unless committing suicide (this behavior has been guided by experts)

, it is very dangerous, children under the age of 180 please do not imitate it).

Therefore, what I recommend is the "dual story line" type, which is the "deification" and "enrichment" of online game novels. Among them, the connotation of the story is inevitably reflected - what "Online Games: The Legend of Eternal Life" wants to get

Eternal life and a free life; "Online Games: The World" allows you to stay with your loved ones until old age and keep in touch with your former good brothers; "Starting from Scratch" embodies the sense of mission and responsibility of the Dragon Clan (

They want to help humans navigate the interstellar space and protect humans); "The King's Avatar" is the many challenges they have to face when the king returns. The novel is the story, how to set up the idea for the story, and how to convey what you want to express without missing a beat.

For book friends, this is the responsibility of the writer. The writer should carry forward the spirit of "The Red Army is not afraid of the difficulties of the expedition" and work hard to write the dual story lines. If there are difficulties, go straight to them. If there are no difficulties, just go straight. Of course, if the writer does not

I'm so serious, I just want to write a YY flow that I like, so I can write whatever I want.
