Chapter 179 This point is very poisonous and can be added
Ying Ma: "I've been studying the design of a new book recently, and I want to find some poisonous points and avoid them. Can you help me take a look?"
Happiness and peace: "Tell me, I have been writing articles safely for so many years, I can tell with my eyes closed what is poisonous and what is pleasant."
Ying Ma: "Then close your eyes and don't look at the screen. I'll see if you can telepathically sense it."
Happiness and peace: "???"
Ying Ma: "Ahem! Seriously, do you think the maps in the book are often changed? Is that considered a poisonous point?"
Happy and safe: "Oh my god! This is a really big poisonous point! And the most terrifying thing about this poisonous point is that the reader doesn't say it's poisonous, and then he suddenly stops reading, and you can only see the subscriptions dropping sharply.
, but no one said anything. In the past, when online literature first emerged, everyone was used to the protagonist changing the map after a period of time in a place, and then regaining interpersonal relationships and new resources. But it is outdated now, so this is how it is written.
Very poisonous!"
"The family fortune, acquaintances and relationships that we worked so hard to save suddenly disappear later. Readers cannot accept it, and they will all be gone by then. For example, in the later stages of writing my book "My Doomsday Simulator", the protagonist is
I am invincible on the earth, and I am planning to let the protagonist Shatter the Void and go to other worlds. I just got this idea, and after two chapters of Shattered to Other Worlds, my subscription suddenly dropped, and many people gave up the book. I did too.
I didn’t write any more and finished the book after the protagonist became invincible between heaven and earth. Otherwise, the book would be so heavily subscribed that I might as well just close it once it’s done.”
"So, remember! Don't change the map! Don't deliberately suppress the protagonist. He was very awesome at first, but suddenly he went to the next world and became a loser again. Then after he became awesome, he went to the next world and became a loser again.
It’s really poisonous to force people to write like this, and today’s readers won’t be able to accept it. You must avoid this kind of writing in your new book.”
Pu Jie nodded, deeply convinced.
His total subscriptions for "Legend of the Stars" could have been higher, but once the map was changed, a large number of people would instantly drop out.
When the mortal world ascends to the fairy world, a group of people leave.
The immortal world ascends to the divine world, and another group of people leave.
The drop is huge!
Pu Jie feels that most of those who follow the reading are new readers attracted by Douyin advertisements and the TV series "Urban Son-in-Law Dragon King". They have never read online articles before, and they are too easy to be satisfied like an unexperienced little girl.
Okay, there are no high requirements, just read whatever the author writes, as long as you understand it.
One thing I have to say is that if there were not so many new readers, the performance of his "Legend of the Stars" would definitely drop by more than half, and even ten thousand subscriptions would be a bit unsatisfactory. Repeatedly changing maps would hurt readers.
After answering this question, Pu Jie's general idea was formed. Since changing maps will affect readers' follow-up subscriptions, new books should be changed frequently!
You can always find a map you don't like, and in the end everyone will run away.
Poison point +1.
Winning Ma: "God of peace, when designing the plot of the new book, are there any other poisonous points that can be added and avoided?"
Happiness and peace: "That's too much! We can't finish it in a few days, but you have also written a novel with good results. You are not a newbie, and you can avoid many poisonous points based on your feelings. I will tell you directly.
Some special poisonous points, which are poisonous points that you don’t think are very poisonous when you design them, but which greatly affect your performance.”
Ying Ma said: "That's great! I need these!"
Happiness and peace: ". Just need it? Do you need to avoid it? Those who don't know better would think you are going to write a book full of poisonous points."
Ying Ma was stunned: "How could it be! Hahaha~haha~ha."
Happiness and peace: "What I'm going to talk about next is all the practical information I have summarized over the years of writing on the Internet. Most people won't tell them. If you hadn't been innocent and kind-hearted, the most important thing is that you have a good vision! I would have
I won’t tell you.”
Pu Jie's heart was filled with 10,000 idiots. You looked so good back then, you looked so much like a bad boy, didn't you?
I once thought you were the Crouching Dragon I was looking for, but it turned out to be a real dragon!
How unlucky!
Fortunately, now I have found out the true identity of this stinky boss like you. When you finish telling me, I will directly do a reverse operation. It will definitely be stable!
Pu Jie is good at summarizing and getting up from where he fell.
I know what the boss is saying is right, but if I do the opposite, I will definitely fall into the street.
Is this logic impeccable?
Ying Ma: "God of peace, you said, I will remember it."
Happiness and peace: "When you design the plot, you must pay attention to the uniqueness of the protagonist's identity, which is the identity of the protagonist in this world. The adventure is unique and cannot be copied by others, such as my book "My Doomsday"
In "Simulator", the simulator owned by the protagonist is the only one, and no one else has this thing, which highlights the special nature of the protagonist."
Winner: "Um? Is there such a thing? I read some novels that also have group time travel. The group opens the game template, and then competes, helps, fights, etc."
Happiness and peace: "No, this does not mean the same thing as what I am talking about. There is no conflict between the two. Let me give you an example. Suppose you have a system."
Pujie:(*゜ー゜*)
"I don't!"
Happiness and peace: "If only you had."
"I really didn't!"
Happiness and peace: "Just think of yourself as having a system."
"I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!"
Happiness and peace: "."
Winning Ma: "."
The two were silent for a long time.
Happy and safe: "Okay, if I have a system, if I want to be the protagonist of a story, then this system must be unique, so that readers will have a stronger sense of involvement. Only if I have it and you don't have it, I will feel better.
Although readers don't say it, they subconsciously hope that the protagonist will be unique. I have it and others have it, so it's not that cool. As for the group time travel and group gamification you mentioned, look carefully.
In fact, the protagonist has special features, such as group time travel. The protagonist's birthplace is in a special location, and he has received a certain inheritance, and the inheritance is unique. This is what makes the protagonist special. So. No one has me.
Yes, only when people have their own qualities can the special features of the protagonist be reflected. When designing the plot, we must avoid that the protagonist and others are on the same starting line."
Ying Ma: "Oh, I understand if you say that, but I have a question. Do you really have a system?"
Happiness and peace: "."
Winning Ma: "."
Happiness and peace: "Then shall I go?"
Ying Ma said: "Ahem. Just keep talking and I will remember it. It will help me a lot!"
Pu Jie has already memorized it.
This was the first time he had heard of the logic mentioned by the God of Peace. However, everyone usually used it subconsciously, but they did not know that the underlying logic was like this.
If this happens, Pu Jie will have a new idea.
The protagonist's situation at the beginning is the same as everyone else's, there is nothing special about it.
There are even many people who are just like him, others are earlier than him and more awesome than him.
In this way, readers will feel bored at first glance. Not only is the protagonist not special, he is even an ordinary person.
This kind of persuasive effect has no way to win but there is a way to win!
Wonderful!
Poison points +2.
Happiness and peace: "Finally, I give you my exclusive tip, the perspective of writing a book. It must focus closely on the protagonist, the newcomer. Even many veteran authors will make a mistake, thinking that their own strength can control the group portrait, writing about the protagonist
It's absolutely not okay to disappear for several chapters! You can write from other people's perspectives, but don't describe too much. Mainly focus on the protagonist. Other people's perspectives also serve the protagonist, otherwise the sense of immersion will be lost. You are controlling the character.
My ability is not very high. I put my pen and ink on other people and wrote 5 chapters describing the life and experience of a villain. The readers were immediately dizzy and ran away."
"By the way, I would like to add to this point. If you are not a master, you must not write about dual protagonists or multiple protagonists. In fact, masters rarely write like this now. It is difficult to balance the relationship between the characters, and it will affect your novel.
Of course, this is not absolute. Once written, it may be a masterpiece, but most people, including myself, cannot write it well. We should be realistic and consider this as a poisonous point."
Ying Ma said: "Hey~~ It makes sense! I am like this when I am reading a book. Once the protagonist disappears, I will rush to the next page. If I can't see the protagonist after turning ten chapters, I will stop reading."
Moreover, in Pu Jie's previous life, he wrote novels with multiple protagonists. The only one he remembered was "Little Yu'er and Hua Wu Que" which became very popular.
Haven't seen the others.
The same goes for watching TV series. "A Song of Ice and Fire" in his previous life was so popular, but he couldn't watch it because the world view was too big and the protagonist was unclear, which made him, an old reader of online articles, uncomfortable.
I tried it a few times but just couldn't stand it anymore.
The idea for the next book came to me immediately, and I immediately arranged some miscellaneous supporting characters to compete for the protagonist's role!
Each supporting character has his own story and plot.
Whether they are enemies or allies, every character has a backstory.
When one person appears, he or she steals the lead role.
Reader's sense of immersion-N.
Poison points +3.
"Is there more? Is there more? God of Peace will tell you a few more!"
