First of all, I wish you a Happy New Year! Then talk about the latest arrangements~~
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I wish everyone a happy New Year and all the best!
Recently, due to the issue of the plot length of "Overwatch", everyone's opinions are very enthusiastic ~~~ Of course, the more common opinion is that this plot is too long. But it is true, if "Overwatch" combines the two chapters
If taken together, it would be almost more than 400,000 words, which is really incomparable to many Infinity novels that have a plot of tens of thousands of words.
But do you think I'm in the water? I really don't recognize this. First of all, I didn't give you data page by page, right? Each character only has three attributes, and that's all in one sentence. I didn't say anything about the start of each mission.
Before, I summarized the main attributes and props of the protagonist and then went through one or two chapters, right? Secondly, I didn’t go over the settings throughout the whole article, right? When needed, I only had a few rules of the system space.
It’s done in a hundred words. I put most of these things in the plot and explain them bit by bit. So far, this book has almost a million words, and everything in it is plot except plot. So, water
I feel like I don't have this problem.
I won’t say much more about the characteristics of my book writing. Basically, I like to explain a thing and a world clearly, and I don’t like to be predatory. So, indeed, the length is very long.
Because I not only have to write about the protagonist, but also about the enemies and other forces.
But regarding the plot of "Overwatch", this is mainly my attempt, and it is also something I am trying to show in this book. As we all know, what is the biggest feature of the "Terminator" world? It's not Schwarzenegger
, not a T-800, but a time machine. This is the biggest difference between the protagonist of this book, Tang Yu, and other infinite flow protagonists. He can change a world by going back to the past.
So how to write this feature is quite nerve-wracking. At least, you have to explain what the world was like before the change, right? That's why the first part of "Overwatch" was created. Then, you also have to explain the process of changing the world.
What is it like?? That’s why we have the second part of “Overwatch”. Similar plots will still be found in other plot worlds in the future. Let’s get to the bottom of it first. “The Matrix” is also designed according to this, too.
Carry out the plot first, and then change the past. "Star Wars" and "Mass Effect" also have the basis for writing this way, but the plot planning has not been completed yet. So will anyone say it is too long? I don't think so, after all.
The space is there.
Therefore, you don’t have to worry about whether this book will become a fanfic of “Overwatch” or something like that. Xiao Jing said clearly, no! Because when I wrote this book, I didn’t plan to end it with a million words.
The contract I signed with Qidian was for 3 million words. This is the guaranteed number of words for this novel, just a little more. In other words, as long as there are still people who support Xiaojing, then I will write at least 3 million...compared to 3 million.
In terms of space, this 400,000 is too small.
In fact, friends who have been chasing this book can think back. When I first started writing, when I was writing about the world of "Terminator", some people said it was too long, so hurry up and go to the system space. I wrote "Resident Evil"
During the plot, some people said it was too long and should end it quickly, but no one said whether the world of "Terminator" was too long, right? In fact, it's because everyone followed it chapter by chapter, so
It will feel longer.
So, please give Xiao Jing a chance to write this book according to my own ideas, okay? Let’s talk about merits and demerits after finishing the book. Let’s talk about Xiao Jing’s book. It’s long, but it’s not.
Collapse? At least now the plot and the power system are all under my control. Of course, if you really feel that you can't accept the way Xiao Jing is written, I can only say, it's a pity, I'm sorry, I can't
Write a book that makes you like it, and then, goodbye.
Because as of now, I don’t insist on anything. As long as there are still people who support me, I will continue to write. If no one supports me in the end, it can only be said that my cultivation is not enough. Whether to open a new book or close it now will be discussed at that time.
.
So, that’s basically it. I will still stick to my own ideas about this book. In fact, it’s not impossible for me to end “Overwatch” within a few chapters, but this is not only for myself but also for the readers.
It's irresponsible, so I won't accept it. The story will still proceed according to my own design, but I will find ways to speed up the progress while maintaining the excitement of the story.
In addition, on New Year’s Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year, I was really busy, so I was not at home for those two days, so there will be two days of suspension of updates. Please forgive me. As for eunuchs, anyway, my goal for 2017 is to
"The Machinist" has been written for three million, so I will leave it here. Unless no one really wants to read this book, I will definitely continue to write it. Well, that's the way it is.
Finally, I wish everyone a happy Year of the Rooster, all the best, happiness and good health~~~~
