Experience the gods and horses are all clouds? The mode of the novel

As the title indicates, this article is not an experience at all, it is just me talking to myself when I am full.

First of all, is there a fixed pattern for writing novels?

I will tell you: Yes, whether you write comedy, tragedy, suspense, romance, cultivation, online games, detectives, martial arts, science fiction, or urban. In today's world, any novel has a routine. Since they were

From the day it was created, no one can escape. But since you want to attract everyone's attention, you can naturally do the opposite, so that you can "unconventional".

Those who write romance are nothing more than I love you, you don’t love me, you love him, he doesn’t love you, he loves her, but she loves me... In the end, there is a happy ending, the lovers finally get married, and everyone is happy. If a writer wants her to love her

, if he loves him like this, that’s the scope of Danmei and Lily. On the contrary, they kill each other and never say the four words "I like you" before they die (Cang Yue's "Hua Hua Ling"

》), making the girl hide her tears.

Writing about cultivation is nothing more than a mortal getting a book on cultivating immortals or something, and then practicing Taoism diligently, finding an ancient immortal cave, or practicing dual cultivation with a Taoist companion, and finally achieving eternal life. Well, if you don't want to be conventional, you can let

The protagonist becomes a mortal, and then the finale ends ("Chen Yuan" by Yanyu Jiangnan); or the protagonist suddenly turns into a villain, hahaha (Xiao Ding's "Zhu Xian").

Writing online games is nothing more than defeating monsters, leveling up and becoming the strongest, so I won’t go into details here. Want to be different? Yes, the protagonist is invincible from the beginning, and then naturally you don’t need to level up. Anyway, you can do it without leveling up.

Kill enemies at will (Butterfly Blue's "Online Game Melee Mage").

When you write a detective, you are looking for the murderer anyway. The murderer is usually not dead, and you can prove it if you find it. Is it the opposite, setting up multiple murderers (Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express") or is it

"The Dead" ("No One Survived" by Agatha Christie) is absolutely formidable.

If you write about martial arts, the protagonist will definitely have unparalleled martial arts skills and will be happy in the end. If you play the opposite, how about the protagonist being a woman who does not understand martial arts (Xiao Zhen's "The Ancient Meaning of Chang'an")?

Write a fantasy, where the protagonist develops powerful magic and then becomes a great hero? If this is a villain who has been infamous for thousands of years, and dies in shame in the end, will anyone still read it ("The Necromancer" for readers)?

How about writing a passionate story where the protagonist explodes into the small universe and kills all the evil enemies? No, it would be more fun to let him kill his father ("The Legend of the Life Hunter" in Nine Knives), and then worry about other things after killing his father.

When writing suspense, you must first set up the scene, then let the characters die one by one, and finally reveal the truth. In order to break out of this routine, you can have all the supporting characters die at the beginning, leaving only the protagonist. (I don’t watch suspense, nor do I.

It’s scary =.=, so I don’t recommend it)



In order to impress people (to put it bluntly, it’s just a gimmick), writers and writers are determined to break the shackles and write a work that is completely different from others, so they choose a model that is opposite to the conventional model. However, there are only selling points.

Novel without connotation will not be respected. Novel should have profound universal values, or noble humanistic spirit, or have twists and turns and touching plots and flesh-and-blood characters, or reflect the times or social trends.

Questions, exposing certain dark sides or bad qualities. In short, only works that are thought-provoking and make people unable to extricate themselves can be called novels.

Compared with the next sentence, the above is nonsense.

Writing a novel is telling a story.

How to tell a story well depends on you, and no one can help you. As long as you can express what you want to express completely and make people feel and resonate, then no one is qualified to teach you.

If you want to be the strongest, knock yourself down first.
