This month I updated 330,000 words, and also wrote an extra chapter about Zhao Gongming called "My Senior Brother is Too Steady."
Quite diligent!
The extra chapter will be online on December 1st. If you haven’t read Senior Brother, you can try to read the book Senior Brother and then read the extra chapter. Senior Brother is my famous work. It started a genre and brought up Gou Daoliu. It is my writing.
A small peak on the road.
There are many factors that contribute to the success of Brother's book, the most important of which is of course the stable character design, and the second is what keeps Brother from falling apart from the beginning to the end, what is hidden in Brother's core, and what I have figured out myself——
‘Prehistoric flow slicing system’.
What is this slicing system?
Now that the plot of "" has gradually unfolded, I can briefly chat with you readers.
To put it simply, it is to extract a short period of time from the prehistoric period, use the prehistoric myth as the background, and compress the plot into a slice that spans hundreds or thousands of years.
This kind of design can capture the innate understanding of readers of Honghuangliu while retaining sufficient room for development.
My relatively immature early work "The Biography of Erlang of the Great Desolation" was a writing practice where I began to think about and construct the "Slice of the Prehistoric River" (the writing style is very immature and I don't recommend reading it). By the time I became my senior brother, I had perfected this system.
"" actually relies on this system. This way of writing is just that the text of "steady adult character" has been transformed into "father and son double wear". Li Ping'an's character is mildly steady, and Li Dazhi's character is old and passionate. Continue
Improve this system.
This is the system that I am most certain can boost sales and guarantee good results.
The current feedback is also very good. This book has the best subscription ratio among all my books. Chapter chapters and follow-up subscriptions are constantly increasing. This is because there is no traffic port, so the improvement is very small.
Why did you open the book ""?
There are three reasons. The first reason is the most important. I have told you several times, just to increase sales and earn platform resources for the next book.
The second reason is that I want to write a Chinese story about the war between gods. The writing method of slices of the prehistoric flow and the cataclysm of gods are more suitable for the theme of "war between gods".
The third reason is to improve and correct some of my views back then.
In "My Senior Brother Is Too Steady", I focused on describing the righteousness of Jiejiao, but there are not only righteousness and righteousness within Jiejiao, but also some drawbacks.
A Chinese Ghost Story and a Chinese Debt, a one-night romantic affair cleanses the mind.
Due to my own lack of knowledge, the evolution of Zhou rites and the human sacrifice of Shang are the parts that have been ignored in this book.
A story about apotheosis without this part is not good enough in my opinion now.
Another thing is that after I finished Senior Brother, I read a lot of archaeological documents and found that my description of the story of the gods was actually too one-sided. There are still a lot of stories that can be unearthed.
So I redesigned the story background of "" and divided "" into three major stages.
The first stage: establishing the heaven.
Unlike the senior brother who started from the Taiqing Saint, "" starts from the perspective of the human race, focusing on shaping the characters such as Nuwa, Human Emperor Xuanyuan, Fenghou, etc., so that the Heavenly Court and the human race can be reasonably combined, and began to pave the way for the Nanzhou Divine Court.
The structure of this divine court is relatively complex, which will be revealed bit by bit later.
This past November, after laying out a million words, I launched the climax of the first phase of the book, "When I Was the Emperor of Heaven."
The response was really good, which also made me relieved... The pressure of laying the groundwork in the early stage was really too much.
The second stage cannot be spoiled.
The third stage is the new gods I want to write.
As for, many readers asked me why I chose the difficult and unpleasant creative direction of father and son double wear... I just wanted to try something I have never written before. Because of the support of this mature system, I wanted to try double wear.
Can you write down some results?
A little personal pursuit.
After the plot has passed the climax of the first stage, the story has begun to become fuller.
In December, I want to check the monthly ticket ranking. This is the only channel to promote this book.
December is the starting month of activities. There will be various activities, and there will also be a double monthly ticket event at the end of the month. But what I want is to maintain a relatively high monthly ticket ranking before the double event starts, and not care about the final result.
Ranking to maximize publicity effect.
I won’t predict the specific ranking. The fluctuation is relatively large. I will do a [monthly ticket plus update] activity.
The number of monthly votes in November was over 20,000.
Then we don’t set the goal too high, just sprint for ‘30,000’ monthly tickets during the double period.
From December 1st to the start of the double monthly pass event (note that it is before the event), under the premise of a minimum of two updates of 8,000 words per day, every additional 1,000 monthly passes will result in an additional chapter, and there is no upper limit.
In order to ensure the quality of the writing, there can be no superficial or blind updates, so this kind of ranking activity can only be done once every two months, one month to rush the rankings, and two months to pay off the debt.
Senior Brother is a book that has broken the circle in a large area, and Human Immortal has inherited the popularity of Senior Brother. Alone in the Abyss has no readership and can only be left unused... So I have never worried about monthly tickets. It is very Buddhist.
But now, the monthly vote is really important to "". I urge all readers to vote one or two!
Thanks again to all readers for your strong support!
