From November to April, the fifth volume that lasted for half a year was finally completed. It was almost as long as the longest second volume. This was something I did not expect. After all, in my plan, the length of the volume should be as long as that of a girl.
The same as the skirt, it should be shorter towards the back, which is a big mistake.
The fifth volume is very torturous to write. In addition to mental torture, there are also physical ones: I was ganked by the new crown in December, I was ganked by kidney stones in March, and I was ganked again in April because I had to remove the double J tube... Now I have been ganked every day
2 liters of water is available regardless of rain or shine. Readers who see this should go and drink water!
Before talking about the fifth volume, I think it is necessary to talk about my emotional expectations for this book before I started it - that is, the ambiguous comradeship.
Yes, in my plan, the relationship between Ash, Sonia, Diya, Weisel, and Vichy until the finale should be like moonlight, hazy and beautiful, shining but not blazing. Because it is easier to write like this.
There are many, occasionally non-violent Shura scenes, so that their relationship always stays at the level of campus love, and they can avoid the intimate scenes that are very easy to be ganked. Just like Ren Suo in Small World, Ya Xiu has always been a virgin.
Ending - This is the route I am most accustomed to and the easiest.
However, it started to go crazy from the third volume. To put it mildly, it’s like “the author can’t control the characters. He’s awesome.” At worst, it’s like “the author’s writing skills are so bad. He’s rubbish.” In short, I will give you a very sharp comment.
The issue is put before the characters: the conflict between Ash's growing harem expectations and the heroines' desire for pure love.
To be honest, this is an unsolvable issue. I just can't solve it in my small world, so I let Ren Suo remain a virgin until the end, and then get married and get over it, but I don't regret breaking this layer of paper - because it is really true to write.
Very interesting, hey hey hey.
But until the fifth volume, I was still avoiding dealing with this issue: Let Ash and others be in a long-distance relationship, trade space for time, so that everyone cannot meet even the most basic emotional needs, and naturally it will not breed more
Advanced contradiction.
So at the end of the fourth volume, I really thought about letting Ash continue to run away with Yingula and Harvey. The trio of death row criminals were rampaging through the six levels of hell, and the queen group and the princess group were trying to break through the hell outside.
This is also the way I have always dealt with it. It is a high-definition reprint of the fourth volume, and then everyone unites to the ending... But as you can see, the loved ones stay in the world, and the lonely people continue to trek.
I chose to end the long distance relationship of the protagonists, let them all get their wish, and let all the conflicts come to the surface. Therefore, the main plot of the fifth volume is two, one is "The conflict between the Final Five and Ash", and the other is "
The quartet of Sword Princesses are in conflict with Ash."
Only the princess team has no conflict with Ash, but if the princess formed the queen team, there will probably still be conflicts... The opposition party can't believe it!
What’s more worth mentioning is that I added the setting “Selling the soul will cause amnesia” to Ash. The original intention was to develop a sadomasochistic relationship, but after reading it, I felt that it didn’t suit Ash’s personality to cause sadomasochism.
IQ, after writing it, I still write it in a sweet direction, and it becomes "Everyone quickly starts the history book to revise the past while Ash has lost his memory." I feel that this is the right flavor.

I had been working on three acts before I started the book.
The first act is a two-parter's flight across the ocean of knowledge.
The second act is the promotion trial of "Knowing and Coming" in Ruby Mountain.
The third act is the end of the death maniac saying, "Viewer, come die with me."
This is the rare time that I carefully arrange the origin of the golden fingers obtained by the protagonist, and recycle the golden fingers in the writing process. Like Taipar, Ren Suo and Le Yu, I just insert the golden fingers directly and finish the work.
Why are you doing so much? Just face the strong wind!
The significance of the existence of the Final Five is not to recycle the foreshadowing of "Aurora's". In fact, in the Final Five, the person I most want to write about is not the viewer or the death fanatic, but the black man.
magic.
This is probably the doubt I had when watching FSN. Will Red A feel jealous when he sees Shirou who is happier than himself? Based on this idea, the Final Five was born. When they see "another world"
"You will live happier lives if you live better." What are they thinking?
The mirror demon and the ghost demon are a control group. Although they are both indifferent, the ghost demon's indifference is "Destroy it quickly", while the mirror demon is "I don't care". The death maniac and the black demon are also a control group.
The other self who lives a happier life, the death fanatic is a heartfelt blessing, and the black devil is jealous. I think this is a topic that is rarely seen in online articles, even if most of them are from the kind-hearted camp of death fanatics,
Therefore, the dark demon of the evil camp is the direction I most want to explore.
In fact, if something like "my current self changes my past self" really happens, I think my mood will probably transition from a death craziness to a black devil. At first, I will be optimistic and see that "myself" is getting better and better, just like
When you develop a game character, you continue to add equipment and skills to "you" to make up for past regrets and satisfy unfulfilled wishes. But after a certain threshold is exceeded, you will gradually start to envy "you" why you are so lucky and why you are so lucky.
Happiness... In fact, this trend also started to happen later on when Death Madness became a rage. It was just that she vented her resentment towards Sonia towards Ash. She deliberately picked on Vichy, and it wasn't because she disliked Vichy. Sonia could see it.
Can't Death Kuang see Wei Xi's sincerity? She just wants to quarrel with Ash.
It seems that some readers are looking forward to the head-on confrontation between the viewer and Ash, but Tingri has never thought of letting them go head-to-head with each other. The main reason is that Tingri feels that his writing skills are not strong enough to write it... The prototype of the viewer's character is Aizen.
, it is already the limit to establish his character through the descriptions of others. If the viewer and Ash are directly described as head-on, I feel that I cannot write that kind of flavor.
But just as Ash said to the black devil that the only person in this world who can understand her is the witch, the only person who can understand the viewer is actually Ash. The only time the viewer and Ash came into contact was in Senluo Juan.
During the Divine Fire Trial, Ya Xiu was as close to him as an older brother.
It was also from that time that I realized that the viewer and Ash will never meet again. Because the viewer is not a death fanatic, a death fanatic can give everything for Sonia and Ash; the viewer is not a black devil, a black devil can
Accept your own crazy behavior... The viewer is the leader of the team. Others can be emotional, but he must be patient and carry out the plan to the end.
When the viewer realizes that Ya Xiu can touch him, he will never see Ya Xiu again. He will not give Ya Xiu any chance to soften himself. This is in line with his cold and cautious character. His reason must always occupy
The upper hand, so I won't arrange their second meeting.
In fact, the Final Five and the Ash Five have never met each other, so I occasionally imagine these happy reunion scenes in my mind——
The helpless spectators were embraced by Ash, like a naughty younger brother and a calm older brother; Sonia happily dragged Death Kuang shopping, the two most beautiful reds in the mall; Black Devil and Diya were in the amusement park together
While playing in the house, it was completely impossible to tell who was the sister and who was the younger sister; the Mirror Demon and Visser were reading the latest magic papers at home. They were far apart from each other and their eyes would not cross each other normally. They would only do so when Visser went to make coffee.
Asks the Mirror Demon if he wants a drink; the Phantom and Vichy are busy taking care of her baby (Huh? Why is Vichy the only one giving birth?)
But in the end it was just a thought.

The character cards of Niya and Death Maniac are both out, so this book actually has three sword queens, the future, the body, and the shadow. I hope these three sword queens can leave you with different beautiful images.
I haven't thought about the next volume yet. In addition to the outline, there is one more thing I need to deal with: the change of Ash's status. In the first five volumes, Ash has been wandering around in anonymity, and even in the fifth volume, he only travels as a tourist.
Five Kingdoms, but in the sixth volume, he is actually the only second supreme, with four six-winged warriors under him.
He is no longer a weakling who is always ravaged by fate. This time there is no existence above him. He is fate itself.
Even if he does not have this intention, resources and power will naturally gather towards him, his every move will be speculated by countless people, and his words and deeds can change the fate of countless people... He adapts to his new identity.
In addition, because the relationship between Ash and Sonia has entered a new stage, there should also be corresponding changes.
But in any case, the sixth volume is the final volume responsible for the ending. It will probably (at least I hope) not be very long. It would be best if it can be completed in twenty or thirty chapters.
Speaking of this, I have to mention one thing. In February, Ah Mao (Buqi Shixian) told me that he would finish the book in February, and I also said he would finish the book in February. However, he only finished the book in early April, and I even delayed it until April.
At the end of the month... Now I see him every day without coding and I feel jealous!
I had the ending figured out before I started the book. It was based on a very old-fashioned scene in a classic online novel. But after the ending, it will probably be like a small world, and I will write a few more chapters similar to what I will talk about later.
Something like that.

I should take two or three days off this time, not only because I am thinking about the outline, but also because I have very serious sleep problems in the past half month. I often wake up after four hours of sleep, and I can't fall asleep no matter what. I am really scared now.
Whether it's exercise or conditioning, I have to solve this problem in the next few days.
Like today, I went to bed at 8:30 and woke up at 12:00.
I need to sleep for at least six hours every day so that I can work with peace of mind.
In addition, I don’t know if it’s because of spring, but I seem to be in a bit of heat. Every day I have a strong, irrepressible desire to read romance comics (maybe not just romance comics, but currently I only have the desire to read romance comics)
), almost to the point of "I don't want to write until I finish reading it", so the updates are getting later and later these days.
I have watched several movies in the past few days, and the one that left the deepest impression on me was "A Town with You", but I don't recommend it to you. Don't turn around and scold me. By the way, I would like to think about why Japanese comics don't exist. I really don't want to be reborn.
, relived, this type of urban harem is either a stomachache or a harem comedy, can't it be a harem even if it has a stomachache...
All in all, it was very reasonable for me to take a few days off.
Rest for __ days and then come back!

Next volume, Seventh Heaven.
I wrote a 3,000-word essay at the end of the volume. I’ll update it today. Here’s my monthly ticket (hold out your hand).
