It is still not easy to write this book after such a long time. It has been the third year since I started writing this book in 2021. It is estimated that this book will be written at least until 2025. It is really interesting to think back on it.
journey.
If you are a reader who has been following me since "The Mechanic" until now, you should be able to understand that when I wrote this book, my personal life situation was still very ups and downs, so for me, being able to persevere is the greatest
's achievement.
When I wrote "The Mechanic" in 2016, the salary was very low and the work was very busy, so I kept a minimum of three updates a day, and occasionally broke out into four or five updates. Now writing "The Fourth Natural Disaster" is not as easy as before.
The work is even busier and the pressure of raising a baby is even greater. But fortunately, the family crisis that started in the second half of "The Machinist" has been resolved. Although it is very difficult now, at least the couple is working hard together.
Yes, I feel a lot more relaxed mentally.
Then back to the book "The Fourth Natural Disaster", I am really grateful to everyone for supporting me until now. I will naturally do my best to repay everyone with better stories, and I will definitely continue until the book is completed.
The subsequent story line has actually been discussed in occasional live broadcasts before. After defeating the Galactic Empire, there was a fight with the Rebels and the Zane Consortium, and finally the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong, ending in a spectacular climax. Then Tang
Xiao's personal transformation will also be interspersed in it, and he will find his own path. Although my current personal tendency is not to give him a particularly good ending, it will definitely be a complete ending. At least one thing - I want to be safe and stable.
There's no point being that emperor.
The book "The Fourth Natural Disaster" is actually the growth process of the Fourth Empire, so there will be countless people and things in this process. And Tang Xiao is like the trunk of this leafy tree.
, you will find that although there will be no blockbuster plots about Tang Xiao later in the writing, you will also find that the roots of all these plots actually lie with him.
now it's right.
So what I am doing now is to develop some sub-plots to tell the development of the situation and the development of the fourth civilization from different angles. Some people may think that the main plot is too slow and long-winded, but in fact, you should think about these events
It itself is promoting the main plot. For example, the recent plot in Chisland, can you say that it has nothing to do with the main plot? Then I tell you it has a lot to do with the main plot. An important trigger for the early war between the Empire and the Principality, this is one of them
one.
But forget it, it doesn’t matter. When I was writing "The Mechanic", people often scolded me that each copy was too long, but after finishing it, most people really enjoyed it.
After writing books for so many years, I can figure out how to write them with my eyes closed, and it has almost become a muscle memory. And I have to say that although my books are all very long, they may be wordy sometimes, but they are never
I don’t know how to fill it in. Why? “Star Wars” plus so many game contents would really make it difficult to write tens of millions of words, so now I’m doing subtraction.
Many people are asking me why I didn’t write this and why I didn’t write that. I can only say that there are too many things that I haven’t written, but there is no way. The plot must move forward. For example, my biggest regret at the moment is that I can’t do it well.
Writing about two people - Count Dooku and Jabba. In fact, it is because I am worried that writing too much about their side of things will dilute the plot of the Fourth Civilization.
There is no way to do subtraction.
OK, these are probably my thoughts... There are two thousand chapters. Thank you all for your support. I will continue in the future, including the path of writing. Now that I have decided on it, I will definitely continue to move forward. This book
When it’s over, there will be the next one, and the next one, until no one cares about me.
But unfortunately, it is basically certain that "The Mechanic" will not continue to be written. This book is already very unfamiliar to me. Continuing to write it will not matter financially, energetically, personally, or even for the book itself.
None of them are good choices. Therefore, this beautiful fairy tale, which made my dream of writing fly, can only have an imperfect ending.
In the future? I am indeed considering restarting "The Mechanic". There are two ways. The first is to restart Tang Yu's story, and the second is to write another war-themed infinite flow based on the main god rules framework of "The Mechanic". This one is
Let’s see everyone’s opinions.
However, the next book after "The Fourth Natural Disaster" should be a fanfic of "Zhanhong" with Esdeath as the protagonist. I should be able to be more than 70% sure about this at the moment. Of course, the first priority now is definitely to write "The Fourth Natural Disaster".
Write "Four Days of Disaster" and then write it well to the end.
