say something
This notice was originally mainly intended to talk about the recent updates, but everyone seems to have quite a lot of opinions on the final volume, so I will also talk about this matter by the way.
I just thought of everything and said it, it may be a bit confusing, everyone can watch it together.
Let’s talk about the recent update first. After the battle with Zhong Mo, the core chapter of this book has come to an end temporarily and has officially entered the final volume.
Many people may not have read the "author's words" below my picture, otherwise they wouldn't have started to finish it.
Below, I wrote it very clearly, and there is still a certain amount of space in the final volume.
The final volume and the previous content are actually related, but they can be regarded as two parts, so I have maintained the state and finished writing the battle. I also plan to use this as a dividing line to adjust myself.
status, and also sort out the outline.
The original plan was to adjust it for about a week and start to slowly restore the original update volume.
But it turns out that I was too naive. I can’t even imagine now how I managed to maintain three, four, and even five updates a day for a long time. It was simply terrifying.
During this period, it was often two or three o'clock in the morning when I came back to my senses, but I ended up coding two chapters.
So for the update issue, I can only say that I will try my best to adjust it at the moment.
Because this period of long-term updates is really tiring.
I took a look at the time when my first chapter was uploaded. It was April 16, 2018. Up to now, this book has been updated continuously for more than three years.
In the past three years or so, and even to this day, I can say with considerable confidence that there has not been a single day without interruption. Even when something happened, I have maintained two updates a day.
In other words, I have been working continuously for more than three years without a break.
The fatigue accumulated over a long period of time has made my condition very bad, and it is no longer something that can be solved by sleeping or sleeping for a few days.
Because you will find that when you are extremely tired, you will fall into a state of insomnia. At the same time, you want to sleep more and sleep later, but you can't. The whole person's mental state is completely confused, but the person wakes up (useless
Knowledge has increased)
This made me feel obviously not in a good state. After this state lasted for a few days, I began to completely adjust my state.
The first thing is to disconnect from all social software that can be disconnected. Now I turn on the computer every day, I don’t log into social software at all, and I don’t surf the Internet. I don’t care about what is happening outside. I completely isolate myself from the world.
, apart from coding, sorting out outlines, and uploading chapters, I basically don’t do anything else.
Apart from that, apart from eating, sleeping, and spending time with my girlfriend, I just stare at my turtle in a daze.
At the beginning, you will definitely feel uncomfortable, but gradually, you will find that you are getting calmer and calmer, and you are slowing down.
After maintaining this state for a period of time, the most exciting thing for me now is that I have been able to sleep in until after 11 o'clock in the past two days. Before, I had time, and I couldn't sleep even if I wanted to sleep for a while. I would wake up at 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning.
.
Next, I should continue to adjust my status.
This is basically my state during this period.
From here on it’s about the final volume
Regarding the final volume, I actually had several ideas when I started.
What I am implementing now is the most risky and difficult idea for me.
In fact, I can write this book casually and finish it directly after finishing the book with Zhong Mo. This is very easy for me and very safe at the same time.
At that time, everyone will finish spreading flowers. Although this ending may be satisfactory and many pitfalls have not been filled in, I can basically confirm that everyone can accept it, because this is the ending that everyone expected. After the final battle, it is about to end.
, this is everyone’s habitual thinking, and as everyone expected, it is very comfortable.
Some people may not be satisfied with the ending later, but you will soon reach self-reconciliation, or someone will come to enlighten you.
Because all books are like this, there are very few books in the world with good endings, so I write it this way, regardless of whether I understand it or accept it, but I am very sure that everyone will definitely understand and accept it by then.
of.
But I obviously didn't make this choice.
Because for this kind of ending, no matter whether readers accept it or not, I don’t accept it myself. I am a person who attaches great importance to having a beginning and an end, and figuring out the cause and effect of something. This kind of personality also allows me to get a lot of miscellaneous and inexplicable things in my life.
, useless knowledge.
To give a simple example, most people who read novels about time travel to different worlds should have read them.
For an author, writing a novel about time travel to another world is easy, because you can put aside all settings and inherent concepts and ignore it.
But most of these books have a common problem, that is, until the finale, they don’t explain why the protagonist traveled through time. Since there is such a different world, does the original real world also exist, or is there any connection?
, causation and the like?
Many people don't struggle with this issue, but I am someone who does.
Time-travel novels that can arrange this issue clearly and make people accept it will be more difficult.
Although my book is not a time-travel novel, I am currently in this stage.
Let's talk about the transition issue. It seems that many readers say that the transition is abrupt. I am personally surprised by this, because in the chapter connected to the final volume, the words "memory awakening" and "cognitive error" clearly appear.
Personally, I feel that the category vocabulary has been clearly pointed out.
Of course, it is also possible that my own thinking is more out-of-the-box. Most readers may need a more detailed description. If there is a similar situation in the future, I will pay attention to this point.
Then there is the issue of the content of the final volume.
In fact, I have said before in the 'Author's Note' that all the puzzles will be answered in the final volume.
At first I thought about squeezing all the settings together and writing them as quickly as possible within a certain number of pictures.
But then I thought about it carefully, and I felt that the overall effect of writing it like this would not be good. It would be like leaving a thick manual for you to read.
At the same time, there are many causal connections in this chapter. Without clearly explaining the causes and consequences, it will be difficult to explain clearly.
I have already chosen the most risky and laborious writing method, so how could I be in a hurry when writing the final volume? Why not calm down and finish it slowly?
But I can feel that everyone seems to be very anxious and impatient, as if the final exam is tomorrow and you are a candidate who has not even reviewed a word.
In fact, I also understand that in modern society, everyone is very anxious and impatient. In other books, three chapters have already been about pretending to pick up girls, a set of combos, and you will be in the sage mode in less than a minute, but I just
Got up.
If you come to my place, you will definitely not be accustomed to it. I know this very well.
Many people are talking about this water, that water, why a battle is so long, etc., but when I write a plot, I mostly start from a rational perspective. Assume that you are Luo Ji's enemy.
Will you be killed by Luo Ji like a fool?
Everyone is alive, has their own ideas, and will do what is best for themselves. In those important battles, when writing about the enemy, my whole state will be completely on the enemy's side, and
We don't just look at everything from Luo Ji's perspective.
You watch a battle entirely from Luo Ji's perspective. At a certain point, it makes you feel uncomfortable. That's normal, because people don't want to die, and they don't want to lose either.
And why I often explain a lot when writing books
Of course I don’t want to explain it, and I trust your thinking ability, but the reality is that if I don’t explain it, some people really won’t understand it.
In fact, even if I explain it clearly and in detail, some people will still not understand some things.
One thing that makes me speechless is that one reader said, ‘There is a BUG here’, and then another reader replied, ‘Read the novel, don’t pay too much attention to the details.
Although I know that the reader means well, but in this case, most of the time I just want to say that it is really not a BUG. I have written it in great detail before!!!
Another reason why I always write other characters is that the protagonist is often offline for a long time.
On the one hand, there was no protagonist at that time, and on the other hand, the reason is similar to what I said before. I hope that every character in the book can be more fleshed out. I don’t mean that every character is three-dimensional, but at least that character
Not stupid, do you understand what I mean?
And the simplest and most direct way to achieve this effect is to write about him.
For example, in the chapters of the final volume, Huo Qiguang is currently a character with a lot of roles, because he is an important figure on Karen Bell's side, and the main events here revolve around Huo Qiguang and Ye Qingxuan.
So of course I will write about him.
Ye Qingxuan's purpose is to use Huo Qiguang to change the system of Kalumber, and then form an alliance so that the Seven Star Alliance to which he belongs can enter the third universe. This is a very difficult thing. It is impossible for you to just write a few chapters casually.
That’s it. Isn’t that nonsense? How can it be that simple? So this section must have a certain length.
From the perspective of the entire final volume, the core character is Ye Qingxuan. Luo Ji also has a considerable role, but not too much. He is more like a bystander of the historical process.
As for why Luo Ji became a machine race, and why some races were in chaos and some were not, these will be explained later, and I have no interest in spoiling them.
All I can say is that in this final volume, in addition to filling in all the pitfalls, I will also give a more comprehensive explanation of many characters and civilizations.
Because in the previous plot situation, I sometimes wanted to write a character or a civilization in more detail, but there was actually no space for you, and there was just that in the final volume.
For example, the Orcs' planet-level unit Leviathan, and the Goblin's annihilator-level weapon Starburst. In previous chapters, due to the particularity of Luo Ji's civilization, you may only be able to see part of a civilization.
, or even a small part.
Chapter completed!
