The second volume follows the theme of the first volume "Become a hero in your own mind". What I want to explore more is the "definition" of a hero. Looking back now, if the first volume is "self-definition"
, then the second volume is the "external definition" of the concept of hero - who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes.
Whether readers have thought about the meaning of the volume title Dark Guardian or not, after reading the entire second volume, they should realize that the protagonist has actually been hiding in the darkness and being a hero in the darkness, whether he admits it or not.
In terms of details, the protagonist Robert's protection of Vanessa and the little spider Peter is also done in the dark.
As for the supporting characters, Spider-Man Peter, Batman Bruce, Punisher Frank, Electro, etc., even the former director of Arkham Asylum, if you think about it carefully, most of the characters I have spent more time writing about are...
All can embody the theme of "Dark Guardian".
This is naturally my intention, and it is also the most superficial meaning of "Dark Guardian".
The further connotation of "Dark Guardian" is "protecting Gotham City", "protecting the people", "protecting the earth", etc. This was revealed in the final explosion.
Of course, what I want to express in the end is naturally the spirit of darkness guardianship, this fearless spirit, this inconspicuous but tenacious spiritual power like a wall-climbing tiger, which makes me deeply intoxicated.
This is also the biggest motivation for me to insist on writing this novel. Whenever I think of the glorious spirit shining in the darkness, I will keep telling myself not to give up no matter how difficult it is.
Speaking of which, I have to talk about the achievements of this novel. As of now, the number of collections of "I Unlocked the Heroes Illustrated Book" is 685, and the number of subscribers is 21. If you include the subscriptions I paid for at my own expense
,Nineteen subscribers.
This book has more than 300,000 words on the shelves. When it was put on the shelves, there were already about 500 or 600 collectors (most of these were inactive users and robots), which means that the real number of collectors may only be 50 or 60. p>
There are only twenty-five comments in the comment area. I am too lazy to subtract my own comments and the official check-in comments from Qidian...
To sum up, it can be said that the performance of this novel is very bad. If it was to make money, the author would usually delete it and reopen it. Due to personal problems, I did not delete the idea of reopening it earlier, so I continued to write it.
.
It can be said that the situation in this book has made the second volume of Yingjian possible. In "Dark Guard", I achieved a true "unity of humanity".
I think the explosion at the end of the second volume is the most difficult to write about, the expansion and switching of multiple perspectives, the order of expansion, the timing of switching, and the length of writing for each perspective...
I am relatively satisfied with the final product, but to be honest, I am not sure about the effect - maybe if this book does not receive certain promotion, I will never know how effective this paragraph is... p>
Finally, let me talk about the issue of male and female protagonists in this book. Let me make sure here first that Robert takes the harem route in this book. Of course, it is not a simple stallion harem. Each female character will have a corresponding emotional line.
However, I unlocked the Hero Illustrated Book as a group portrait novel. It is difficult to say that Robert is the protagonist in an absolute sense. From the perspective of group portraits, characters such as Peter and Bruce can also be called protagonists.
Peter takes the route of pure love.
Bruce... let's be single.
In this way, the emotional shortcomings of this book should be solved to a certain extent - it will not give a clear direction in terms of emotions. After all, this novel is not a "romance" or a "love" novel. I
There is no need to add another unnecessary conceptual problem to the theme of "hero".
Finally, I will continue to write the third volume "Chasing Star Fire". If I update it, the worst case scenario will be once every two days, and the best case scenario may be twice a day. Anyway, it just depends on my mood and status. The fire of chasing stars and chasing the dreams in your heart will never be extinguished!
(The major revision of the second volume will be carried out in the middle of the third volume, and the second revision of the first volume will be carried out in the near future. Most of the modifications are some settings)
