Let’s put what readers are most concerned about first——
Save time: 8,500 words have been updated today. I will take the next three days off. I will start updating the second volume at 12 noon on the 9th. The key words of the second volume are Theocracy, Archeology, Star Antimony, Empire, Iris,
The ceremony of the coronation ring and asking for monthly votes.
Then friends who have time to listen to the cat’s chatter can sit down and listen to the cat’s chatter.
Four hundred and forty-two chapters, 1.43 million words, this is the end of the first volume of this book.
I have been writing books for ten years, with more than 10 million words, and this is undoubtedly the longest volume I have ever written...
But Maomao is also very satisfied...whether it is the results, income or the growth of my writing skills, I am very satisfied!
To report the results, the average number of orders for this volume so far has exceeded 22,000, and the lowest reading was over 8,000. This is my best result so far, three to four times higher than the second best player in the same period.
Times, thank you all very much!
In fact, to be honest, Amu can be regarded as my creative low point.
I once said that I hope that each book will be about a different subject. Try enough subjects while I'm still young, so that when I get older and my creativity declines, I won't have to take risks.
When I wrote this book, which in a sense combines the advantages of Mercury, Players, and other books, it also shows that my physical condition and creative status have declined significantly.
Readers who have read my earliest version of Mercury Blood should know that the cat’s mental state was obviously not very good to the naked eye. Players were also very anxious during the Super Justice Period, and the content could be said to be overwhelming - all I wanted to see at the time was
When the reading rate dropped, I felt that my writing was too slow, so I immediately started a new plot and a new copy.
As a result, there were probably a lot of players communicating with each other, but the story became less and less, and then the reading dropped further, and I wondered if I had to continue to speed up... This cycle became more obvious when I reached the tower.
Because of some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder, Cat focused on "telling a story in a month" during the Fallen Tower period. This is because when I was a player, I often felt that the plot needed to be written more than the number of words in the outline I wrote, so I hope
This is how you "dehydrate".
As a result, I wrote in a hurry. Many places that could be further explored were quickly skipped because I had to keep up with the pace. The purpose was to have a structure like "write one volume in a month, and one volume is a complete story."
It can be said that he is a bit crazy.
And at the end of the tower, when Russell reconciled with himself, I almost reconciled with myself. I finally realized that maybe I was not too slow, but too fast - I was too impatient.
Although the cat looks very lazy, I am actually a quick-tempered person. But my personality is relatively soft, so I am always angry at myself.
Life has crushed me repeatedly, but it has made me softer and more comfortable. If you dare to mess with me, you are just kicking the cotton.jpg
For example, even when playing mobile games, I have never been able to stock up on the resources to draw cards. I obviously know that I want to skip this pool, but if there are too many resources, I can’t help but want to draw cards, and I can’t bear it.
Stay a little longer.
And maybe it's because Mao's mortgage was paid off by the time he arrived at the tower... Mao's creative state also obviously relaxed.
I think the most important improvement for Shepherd is that the narrative rhythm has become more comfortable.
Because my writing style is very laid-back, like a travelogue, it is difficult to write concise and powerful stories like other authors. This is why I tried to refine myself into a compressed towel during my time in the Tower.
And obviously, my attempt failed.
So I chose reconciliation - just slow down, there will be readers who will like to read heart-warming stories full of details and slow pace.
Just focus on being a companion.
But I also learned a lot from the tower, one of which is the narrative that revolves around the core of the story.
The narrative core of this volume is the "Glass Steps".
The rules of Avalon, the traditions of Avalon... Starting from the first chapter, those unreasonable things were all answered in the subsequent plots; and those unreasonable rules and traditions were also solved by Aihua
Si was crushed one after another.
Although the player's copy should be more interesting than Amu - after all, it is something that Mao has accumulated for more than 20 years, and this cannot be refuted. After I finished writing the player, I was almost exhausted, because it felt like I had completely emptied myself.
It was ruined, but luckily I took a breather through the tower and slowly recovered.
Based on previous experiences and lessons, Amu's narrative should be obviously much more comfortable and more organized than the players.
Of course, there are also some new shortcomings that need to be corrected, and I have found them and recorded them all.
The feeling of discovering my shortcomings is very comfortable. It makes me feel that I can still grow. I can feel that I am still alive and feel the vitality of my heart instead of gradually decaying.
Then let me tell you that I will take three days off.
The first day was because the epidemic seemed to be quite severe in Po County. I went to get vaccinated and get a haircut to see my grandma. My hair had grown so long that I turned into a gloomy man covering his eyes. After that, I took a day off and looked at mygo.
I haven’t read it yet; on the third day I started writing the detailed outline of the beginning of the second volume.
I'm taking three days off, and will resume updating at noon on the 9th.
Finally, I want to share my book list. I have shared part of it before, but now I will write a formal one.
These are the books that Mao has been reading recently and has finished. Of course, these books do not mean to recommend the books, they are just sharing, and it does not mean that I endorse the author, the book and its position.
Die Jia, pass!

Although this month will definitely not be as high as the previous two months, I still ask for votes~
