Four thousand one hundred and thirty-four. Write a single chapter to respond!

It was originally planned at the beginning of the year to finish the book in August or September, but because the writing was so slow this year, I could only update 60,000 to 70,000 words a month, so I am still finishing the work.

Updates are slow, let’s shamelessly look for the objective reasons first:

First, this book has nearly 14 million words, and it took more than eight years to write. It was really too long, and the whole thing was like a computer with too many things stored in it, running slower and slower.

There are too many characters, treasures, skills, magical powers, plots, clues, details... and hundreds of different relationships between different characters to be remembered in my mind.

To give an example, this short story about Biluo Pass contains dozens of characters at the same time.

1. The relationship between monks in Heaven and Earth. 2. The relationship between the Meng family and the Eight Tribes. 3. The past and present lives of mortal world and Brahma. 4. The cause and effect between Brahma and the Meng family. 5. The Sixth Patriarch, Gandharva , The story of Ksitigarbha. 6, The grudges between Shang Tian and Huang Tian. 7, Zhang Ruochen’s purpose of coming to Biluoguan. 8, The cause and effect of Shang Tian and the Eight Divisions following the crowd. 9, Baoyin Ksitigarbha and Tan Tuo Ksitigarbha and the Eight Divisions Follow the crowd.10, the fourth Confucian ancestor and the pursuit of ignorance...

Let’s list ten first!

This short story should have more than twenty lines to write. Each character has his own independent story, and there are even more conflicts and storylines between characters.

There are so many characters in this book, and the entire worldview is estimated to have nearly a thousand characters' stories developing and evolving over time.

Therefore, every time I write a chapter now, I almost have to write a detailed outline of more than a thousand words and keep sorting it out.

It can be said that "" may not be very well written, but it is definitely the most difficult book to write in the entire online literature circle in my opinion.

The difficulty in writing lies in the fact that you cannot write randomly. You must write a certain story and readability based on the huge world view and complex character relationships.

At present, the total number of follow-up subscriptions for "" on Qidian and QQ Reading should be around 100,000. In the entire online literary circle, there are only a few serialized books.

I don’t know if there are any books with more than 5 million words that have more than 100,000 back-orders. Anyway, there should be no 100,000 back-orders for serialized books with more than 10 million words. "" is probably the only one.

Of course, Qidian and QQ Reading only account for a small part of the readers of "", less than half.

If we count all the readers who are following up, "" is most likely to be the most read book including all the books in Qidian.

The above are all my guesses.

Readers' follow-up reading is the greatest affirmation of the book. To maintain such a large number of follow-up readers, you must not write randomly. Readers who write randomly will not read it!

Therefore, the second objective reason is that no matter how slow the update is, the book, the characters and the plot must be stable. The pace cannot be too fast, nor too slow.

In terms of the plot, you should never worry about the unfinished ending. A book with more than 10 million words may have many small holes, but the author has been writing for eight years and must understand the book better than the readers and will definitely give readers a better understanding of the book. A satisfactory answer from readers who have been reading it for several years.

Every time I write a chapter, many readers speculate about the next plot.

If you guess correctly, the author will be accused of copying his idea. If you guess wrong, the author will be accused of changing the outline. Unless you guess both, you cannot escape these two results.

In fact, it’s not necessary!

Every time the author writes a plot, he will definitely lay out many foreshadowings. Being able to guess the follow-up shows that he read the book seriously and really loves it, so he analyzed it correctly.

But a book needs not only suspense, but also a reversal, a reversal within the foreshadowing. So, even if you don’t guess right, it’s only in the author’s design.

Writing a novel itself is to tease the reader's psychology and emotions. If you fail to do this, the book will not be readable.

Some readers still think of characters who have been written about many times in the book as new characters, appearing for the first time.

Some readers feel that some plots that have been written many times are repetitive and wordy, while other readers feel that they are imposed settings.

This cannot be reconciled!

Just like the plot of the last two chapters, in fact, 90% of it is the content of the previous chapters, which is the integration of all clues. However, many readers still feel that these things were written only now and were temporarily arranged.

I've analyzed the reasons, and I don't blame everyone, it's my own problem.

The update is too slow, and the timeline of the plot is too long. I am very grateful to the readers who can remember the entire context. You are definitely the most loyal readers of "".

Readers who cannot remember the character clues and story line are actually normal readers, and they are the majority of people. Including myself, I have to read the previous chapters over and over again.

Because it really took too long, was too slow, and was too complicated to write.

This is the author's problem, and I accept all criticism humbly.

The objective reasons for slow updates have been analyzed, and then there are the subjective reasons.

The subjective reason is something that I cannot avoid. I really haven’t worked hard enough and I have slacked off. I will talk about this issue slowly after I finish this book.

Finally, let me talk about some of the confusions that people have had about the recent plot.

First, Brahma Heart and Hades Ancestor, are one good and the other bad?

The answer is that there is no absolute good or bad, their fates are bound together.

Second, cleanse Shang Tian, ​​Gandharva?

Answer: There is no one to whitewash! Because a good person must have a reason for being a good person, and a bad person must have a reason for becoming bad. Again, there is no absolute good or bad in "".

If someone is whitewashed, it must only be about the reasons why he (she) became bad and the logic of what he (she) did. It is impossible for bad people to be born to do bad things, right?

Third, why write the plot between Tianhuang and Huihai?

Answer: This is a plot that must be written, and the whole book will end here. It’s half a spoiler!

Fourth, has Ming Zu been weakened?

Answer: Every immortal is very terrifying, not just in terms of cultivation, but also in wisdom. Everything you see now is just what he wants you to see. You think he is weak, but he wants you to think he is weak.

Whoever laughs last is the winner.

So far, the entire world is still under the control of the immortals. They are very awake, more awake than anyone else.

Fifth, why is it written that Zhang Ruochen can restore his cultivation level with just one thought?

Answer: This was the original setting, and I always planned to write it when I was ready to recover my cultivation. However, I really couldn’t bear the criticism from readers, so I wrote it in advance.

No matter whether the readers criticize me or criticize the slow pace, I never compromise and don’t want to explain. After all, writing a book according to the readers’ ideas will definitely lead to failure. I have always insisted on writing at my own pace. This time, I have compromised!

Of course, this is also because the protagonist will recover his cultivation level immediately, so the impact is not that big.

Sixth, the word "He" is used a lot and does not refer to anyone in particular. As long as the gender is not yet known in the book and the character is mysterious enough, "He" will be used instead.

Finally, there are too many characters and too many story lines. Interested readers can follow the WeChat public account "Flying Fish". Old fans know that this public account has been serialized for many years and will sort out the story lines of new characters every day.

Organize what happened in the past to make it easier for everyone to read.
