"So... what you are reading now is the so-called short story." Wang Xu said.
Mr. Cat: "Of course, strictly speaking, it's just a conversation between the two of us."
Wang Xu: “Since the novel’s expression is all written through words, each reader can imagine the scene at this moment to look like an interview program.”
Mr. Mao: "Actually, we don't know why there are chapters in this form. Maybe the author has taken another cue."
Wang Xu: "Yeah, shouldn't he do the introspection himself?"
Mr. Cat: "Forget it... let's get started... Although there is already something like a final statement, we still want to summarize the reasons why this book is so popular from the perspective of bystanders and face the problem head on.
, reflection is very necessary.”
Wang Xu: "Well...as the protagonist, you really have a lot of trouble to do."
Mr. Cat: "The first thing I want to say is the name of the protagonist."
"Hello!"
Master Mao continued calmly: "Wang Xu... hum... what the hell, just copying the names of the ancients, right? This is too lazy, the names of the main supporting characters have been carefully considered.
, there are also many words plagiarized from ancient poems.
I say you, the author, should be a little more careful. Nowadays, the names of the protagonists in online novels are not cool enough. They are like Xuan, Zhe, Feng, Yun, Xie, God. Similar single names are obviously much louder.
Come on. Even if the protagonist has to use an ancient name, just choose a more famous one. What the hell is a name like this that has been serialized for more than a million words and is often mispronounced by people?"
Wang Xu: "You seem very proud! By the way, didn't the name Gu Chen appear in books written by some big names later? Someone like Gu (beep——) Chen is the protagonist. I
I don’t think this name is very cool either! It’s actually a very casual name!”
Master Mao shrugged: "Okay, let's not mention this aspect. Let's talk about other things, such as the cover and the title of the novel that have been criticized for a long time." He touched his chin and said: "By the way, you are also the one on the cover, right?
"
"Well...if I must say it, that image did appear a few times in the first few volumes, but it seems that that setting was completely abandoned later..." Wang Xu replied.
Mr. Mao: "Hey, this is a typical novice approach to internet writing. I planned to make a cover myself out of curiosity, but I randomly searched for a picture on the Internet, used PS to add a book title, and uploaded it. I even forgot my pen name.
It’s written down, does it really matter?”
Wang Xu was helpless: "Ah... Actually, now that I think about it, could it be that I am not confident about such a book title and cover, and am embarrassed to fill in my pen name..."
Master Mao continued: "Another very concerning point is the dividing line in this novel. Using two ellipses connected together is really unusual. Are you deliberately trying to be different from others? According to common sense, it shouldn't be used.
Something like ======== or ********, if you make it longer, you can make up the number of words, and it’s clear at a glance.”
Wang Xu thought for a while: "It seems that using ellipses is purely a lazy act to reduce the number of key presses."
Mr. Mao: "To say that an author like this is lazy or casual is already a compliment. A book that took twenty-seven months to be written is actually said to be a test work. Test your second uncle, you have such a
Nuclear weapons have been successfully tested in a while, you trash! Do you know that any internet writer can write at least four times the number of words you have in the same amount of time?"
Wang Xu sneered: "That is to say, even in the early stage of the update, the trick of roundabout ways to make up the word count is very stupid. The third volume's approach of leaving the protagonist aside to write about the past of a good-for-nothing uncle is indeed the biggest failure.
Bar."
Master Mao: "Huh? What are you talking about? Stories like those in Volume 3 with handsome protagonists and clear main lines are the mainstream, do you understand? Anyone who can describe such an important plot in just a few words can only be a person.
A good-for-nothing with an uncertain future at home, it’s perfect to be the protagonist of a million-word story with no main plot.”
"What are you talking about! You've put all the responsibility on me again!"
"Don't be wordy. As the protagonist, it is necessary to shoulder the responsibility of rounding off the number of words. In works like this, which have a lot of dialogue and are close to the style of light novels, names appear very frequently. In the chapter about the protagonist's name
It can appear at least a dozen times. If your name has three words, each time it appears, you can add up to one more word. By the time you finish the book, you have unknowingly made tens of thousands of words of detours! I think
From now on, you should simply stop calling Wang Xu, and change your name to Life Limit, No Life Limit, No Shit Throwing Machine, The Day Before Yesterday, Xiaoxin’s Underpants, One Third of Shinpachi’s Life, Balumong Ge Feizalion, Isaac Hunnard
The remaining two-thirds of pure love is caring..."
"Hey!!! You're using other people's memes to make a detour while you're talking! It's already a crime for a name that takes more than forty seconds to be read once to appear in a TV animation that's over twenty minutes long! Yes!
It’s a setting that’s even more irritating than BGM + a single frame of freeze-frame! If used in a novel, it would be killed by readers!”
Master Mao snorted coldly: "Anyway, the author of this book has committed suicide in both conscience and self-esteem. It would actually be good if the body is eliminated. A novel like this... is inexplicably classified into the supernatural category, and the result is from the first chapter
It started with the second volume and turned into an urban fantasy. Later on, it turned into a setting like time travel, history, and detective. Finally, it turned into a deformed combination of unlimited streaming, online games, and religious novels.
Throughout the article, there are often fallacies about the relationship between men and women, unrestricted complaints, twisted philosophies of life, tragic and pathological sensational passages, and public expressions of various dissatisfaction with the government and the current social situation. Guys like this actually
It has been included in some kind of undisclosed file by the National Security Bureau and is ready to be erased at any time."
Wang Xu said: "It doesn't matter what happens to that kind of thing, the key is the main line! I think the reason why ghosts are screaming and catching ghosts on the streets is really a problem with the main line! If the outline of the novel is changed to... the handsome and handsome young king with both civil and military skills
Xu, wouldn't it be a good plot to find seven books of Taoism lost in Guigu all over the world?
Sure enough, traditional adventure stories are the most popular way! The basic process is set as follows... During the journey, Wang Xu met trustworthy partners, Qi Bing, Liu Hang, Elbert, and a
The summoned beast - the ugly clock tower monster Cat Lord. After a long hard work, the group finally reached the end of the journey. At this time, everyone except Wang Xu had died, but Wang Xu finally defeated the evil devil.
, gather together seven unique skills and become invincible in the world, and then sit on countless beauties, live forever, and wander around in the clouds and wild cranes, and this will be the end."
Mr. Cat: "Ah...it turns out that it can be written in that way. I suddenly feel that the author's current setting is a bit cute."
Wang Xu: "Then there is another dissatisfaction, that is, there are too many foreshadowings about the supporting characters! As long as they are named guys, I feel like they can write a side story! Like the four fighters
The soy sauce bastard and the righteous madman named Lu are completely capable of starting a new book and starting a new book!
What upsets me the most is that a certain scumbag who had already taken up 100,000 words showed up again in the penultimate volume of Qingyue High School without any warning.
Look! In the second part, I plan to spend another 100,000 words writing about his high school career, right? The traces of plagiarism from Crows are too obvious!
At first, he was very bold and directly used the "Two-sword style Buddha Slash" technique, but in the later stage, he was obviously embarrassed! Like adding an 'X' to the terminator model, and the explanation of fabricated Egyptian myths
.
As a result, we have already made plans to use Crows for surgery after the limelight is over, right! Teacher Takahashi will be angry! If you always directly copy other people's settings, you will be criticized, you bastard!"
Mr. Cat: "Well...I gradually realized that up to this stage, we have been quarreling with each other and slandering the author."
Wang Xu: "Yes, this won't work. Why don't we spray something else? Let's start with the love (beep——) apartment..."
Master Mao interrupted: "That's not what I meant. What I meant is that we should do something meaningful, such as promoting the author's new book or something."
Wang Xu: "Oh, that makes sense. Since the author's update speed has always made people fearful and terrifying, and he has already promised that there will be very awesome new books, it has raised some people's expectations to unprecedented heights.
, we must pour cold water on readers here in order to stabilize the situation."
Mr. Mao: "So... in short, everyone has finished reading the novel "Ghosts Catch Ghosts" or has not finished it, has expectations for the new book or has no expectations, and is unhappy or extremely unhappy with our article.
Readers.
Please don't have any illusions. No matter in terms of plot or update speed, the surprises you imagine are impossible.
Everyone just needs to welcome the new tragedy with a normal heart.
If you get used to this mentality, you can easily pass a crappy game like Life that cannot be SAVE&LOADed."
Wang Xu said: "Finally, it's up to me to make some points. It's my responsibility as the protagonist."
"It doesn't matter, we have agreed on this together." Master Cat said.
