From the first day the book was released to today, it took two years and three months to write down two million words.
During these days, from the initial excitement of publishing the article, to the hesitation during the serialization, and finally the firm belief and whole-hearted completion of the creation, looking back on this mental journey, I still remember it fresh to this day.
This book is the author's second full-length book. Looking back at the data, it can be regarded as a continuation of the fine tradition of data-driven research.
After reading through the comments, I found that the areas where I complained were concentrated on the following points:
First, the character design is not pleasing to the eye. The protagonist is too kind-hearted and lacks the characteristics of decisiveness and scheming.
Second, the initial plot was too gentle, and it was too late to enter the hegemony plot.
Third, in the Anxi chapter, there are too many martial arts elements, making the plot rather abrupt.
Fourth, the identity of the time traveler is discovered, which is subjectively unacceptable.
Fifth, in the text part, there are too many classical Chinese, which raises the reading threshold.
There are many other shortcomings, but in summary, the most important issues can be classified into two points: character and rhythm.
Regarding the protagonist’s character, I also know that the setting of this article is not consistent with the mainstream protagonist’s personality in online novels, but it may be that my personal hero plot is relatively heavy, and the protagonist’s personality in two consecutive novels was unintentionally biased.
Lawful Good, for contemporary young people, does lead to a weak sense of identity. I should pay more attention to it in the future.
As for the pacing, now that I think about it, I regret setting the profession of Nu Ya Lang as the protagonist.
Because of the profession of Nuya, regardless of social status or connections in the imperial court, it is really difficult to climb up and change history.
This requires a lot of writing and ink in the early stage to pave the way for the protagonist's rise, which will invisibly slow down the rhythm of the plot.
Now that I think about it, if the identity of the protagonist had been set as a prince, a general or a descendant of a powerful family, maybe the whole book would have changed a lot.
Okay, let’s stop here for self-examination, and then let’s talk about a few important things.
1. There will be a chapter at the end of the book, which is not the main text, but a brief introduction to the historical trend after the finale in the form of a memorabilia. Including some foreshadowings in the original text, the answers will be given in the memorabilia.
Second, after I finish writing this book, I plan to take a break for a while.
Third, after the break, I will continue to write a new book. The classification has not been decided yet, but I hope to write about some lighter topics. Once the editor approves the manuscript, I will release the news as soon as possible.
Finally, I would like to thank all the readers again for their support of this book. Without your reading, comments, votes and encouragement, this book may have been abandoned long ago. It is you who gave me the motivation to persist!
