From the first word I typed on the computer, I never thought there would be so many words written in this book.
In the contract, my word limit is 250W words.
That’s the number of words that were bragging when signing the contract.
No one can say that if you want to write so many words in a book, you can write so many words. It is very difficult to count the number of words even if you are crazy.
But my book is beyond the standard.
I never thought there would be so many words.
Because this is how a sandbox game is written.
It involves three different worlds, two bodies, survival, life, and travel in different worlds, as well as the continuous movement of the world.
But they are one and the same, with unclear connections.
There is an active participation perspective, a bystander perspective, and a life of your own.
This kind of fragmented writing is very difficult.
It is also not friendly to readers. If you want to observe the three worlds through various fragments and feel the differences between the three worlds, you need patience.
In an era where time is also fragmented, it is difficult.
Writing about twins with one soul is basically a waste of time.
I am no exception.
Hit the streets.
This is my first book, and the beginning is not very attractive.
This is still a small group of heroes who are invincible.
In particular, I choose to start with the new world of Heroes of Might and Magic 4, and intersperse the old world of Heroes of Might and Magic 3.
Some fans who are not loyal to Invincible Heroes will come in, spit, say, "Where the hell is Invincible Heroes," and then leave.
Because they are only familiar with Heroes of Might and Magic 3..
No one can blame this.
I'm probably the only one who wrote Heroes 4.
This is a semi-finished product in the Heroes of Invincible series. It was also a work when 3DO transformed into Heroes of Invincible. Unfortunately, 3DO went bankrupt, and later we saw the fifth generation series that was close to Heroes of Invincible 3.
Sometimes I also wonder, if 3DO had not gone bankrupt, the fifth generation would have been different, or even evolved into a series like "The King's Bounty".
When choosing a completely different version of Heroes of Might and Magic 4, and retaining the world of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 after the Great Destruction, plus the real world of medium martial arts (sometimes said to be low martial arts), these can be said to be three completely different worlds.
The three worlds also correspond to different training systems. Ying 3 and Ying 4 are similar, but in reality they are completely different.
The magic of Western fantasy cuts into the inner Qi system of the East.
Balancing combat power, balancing stories, and strengthening connected relationships have become difficulties for many writers.
In reality, it is a fairly orderly world. It is not like fighting from a small place to a big place, and then hacking the enemies to death and bringing them down.
Just like a sandbox game, the people who existed in the early stage will also exist in the later stage.
This is destined to be a writing process that can only be done step by step. Once you get too excited, it will collapse.
In the process of writing, I had to focus on narrative and try to tell the story clearly.
The appearance of the characters, the description of the landscape, the description of a large number of battles, the war scenes, and the various voices of passers-by A, B, B, B, and D have been removed...
A lot of things that can be eliminated have been eliminated (it’s too easy to make up the number of words in these plots).
Everything is just to tell this sandbox story clearly.
For some veteran authors, it might be possible to write it, but I was really a newbie when I started writing it.
For readers, they don't care about the difficulty of the author's writing, but focus on the reading experience when watching.
I know all this very well.
I can only keep trying to write.
In the past two years of writing, I have experienced a lot.
The consumables business ended in failure (it had nothing to do with writing, it was purely because the online business was not working, and offline sales could not be carried out. I have to say that Boss Ma’s platform has made many people rich and eliminated many people. I am the latter) and rented a house.
, daughter grows up, moves, buys a house, emigrates.
A few simple words can lead to an unimaginable journey.
At that time, we traveled to Guangzhou with our three-month-old child in search of survival.
A family of three, wife, me and children.
Seek rent and find a place to live.
It is also necessary to pack up business that has been delayed due to childbirth and other matters.
Of course it all ended in disastrous failure.
When added to the tragedy of 15 years of rushing into the stock market and increasing funds to protect the market, everything becomes even worse.
Until now, the investment of 15 years has not come out yet, and has shrunk to only 1/6.
I was scolded by my father for being useless, and also criticized for why I still look like this in my thirties.
At that time, I cried while holding my mobile phone.
Taking care of a small business and taking care of the children, my wife has not recovered after giving birth, and it is difficult to change her job.
At that time, I had no other choice but to find time to code as hard as I could.
No one reads the book, and there is no income. The explosion of 10,000 words and 10,000 words continues for a month. If one month is not enough, adjust for one month before the explosion.
I write until two or three in the middle of the night every day.
At this time, we also have to take care of our children. Even now that I am writing this, the children are still playing the toy piano and singing in the study.
But compared to two years ago, the environment is much better now.
I became a house slave in a fifth-tier city. At least I had a study room and a home to live in. My wife also found a job.
The stress gradually subsided and life began to return to normal.
I am even a little lucky at this time. If my business had not failed and I moved back to Hunan in May last year, if I had encountered this situation this year, it would be hard to say how great the hardship would be.
This year has been a very difficult year.
This is true for each of us.
Floating in the world, you can only do what you can do and do your best.
The book has also reached the second half, and I will try my best to write this part well.
There is a beginning and an end.
But it really requires some subscriptions, which are the source of livelihood to support the family (new subscriptions are really low).
I have been traveling and writing all year round, and it is difficult for me to establish relationships with authors and seek recommendations. I have no network, and I am not good at complaining and asking for anything.
Friends who have been with me all the way should probably know that I rarely write a single chapter. I feel that it will affect the coherence of reading. At most, I will include two sentences in the author's remarks.
The purpose of opening this order is to seek a life and survive.
Until the book is finished.
This single chapter also responds to several minor controversial points.
The first point of controversy may be Liu Li. He is an unpopular person in the early days. He has nothing to do after graduating from junior high school and will inherit the family business (making steamed buns). Some people ask why the protagonist did not see Liu Li in the ruins.
Kill them directly (I can't accept this view. If you accept training at a training base, in just two months, you will have to obey your boss completely and even kill your own neighbors. This is a bit inhumane)
.
Therefore, it also involves that Xu Zhi's counterattack against Shang Qianqiu was within his own limits and was in legitimate defense rather than excessive defense. This is at least a microcosm of our acceptance of modern education and laws.
--------------------------
The second point of controversy broke out two hundred chapters ago, involving Gongsun Kang. How could this old man be so awesome? He was so willful and unscrupulous that no one could control him at the time.
If in a dynasty, a certain monopoly family has the top five combat power in the province and has great influence, it can indeed do many things that seem unfair and will not care about a low-level person.
He is involved in many things, and some people will not be willing to really break up with each other just because of a small existence.
Ultimately it's compensation.
There are many examples of people driving accidentally hitting people, and so on.
As long as he is not dead and can be fully cured, even the law cannot punish him much.
Even if the protagonist achieves the position of Inspector General, he only finds excuses to keep the other party engaged in constant discussions, repairing injuries, and the family continues to shrink, become ruined, confined at home, and finally bows down.
This is logical sandbox reasoning, at least that's how I reasoned it.
Respect normal cognition, do not end up killing just for fun, if you have any objections, you can discuss it peacefully.
--------------------------
The third point of controversy: It seems to be the Ying Kingdom's puppet substitution technique, because I had some discussions when I followed the comment area before, but when the subsequent chapters did not come out, I finally chose not to argue anymore (please be careful not to allude to the real country, aliens
The plane world is not connected to reality, and there is no need to blame creatures from a different world just because certain behaviors are similar.)
The puppet technique involves the imitation of the 'immortal' and the behavior of the world tree, which will be shown in the second half.
--------------------------
The fourth controversial point: Why is the protagonist’s rebirth scroll used by others? Is it too holy?
First, I have two scrolls in my hand, but I have not actually used them, so it is difficult to know the real effect.
Second, as long as there is capital to rescue the other party, I don't think this is a bad behavior.
Just like when someone is injured on the road, we naturally go to ask for help.
We cannot attack hard on the Internet and loudly express various criticisms. In reality, we are submissive and cold-blooded and do nothing to save people.
Some people's hearts can pass, but some people's hearts find it difficult to pass this test.
The protagonist is a normal person, just like you and me, with a kind heart that belongs to us ordinary people.
I don't think kindness is a bad trait.
It's just that the protagonist's mentality when saving people is very complicated, and it's also the complex mentality you and I have when facing this situation.
At least it still has some positive energy that belongs to our era.
--------------------------
The fifth controversial point is that Sandro (the evil protagonist of Ying 3) took advantage of the protagonist. In a certain chapter, Xu Zhi took away many treasures that could be used by mages (note: the real usable saint's staff was later released
(caught him back), and therefore had a connection with Sandro in the elemental world. From calculations to head-on fighting to watchful assistance, it was hard to say who took advantage of whom.
He and the protagonist are not real enemies, but they are not real friends either.
This is an independent existence, and it also belongs to Sandro in Heroes of Might and Magic 3.
Based on Heroes of Might and Magic 4, and also based on Heroes of Might and Magic 3, the important heroes will match their descriptions and their actions after the Great Destruction.
Some heroes die, some heroes live, and some heroes will be reincarnated and their memories will be erased.
--------------------------
The sixth controversial point...
Maybe I haven't discovered it, or maybe I haven't written it yet.
Examples are welcome, and a separate chapter will be opened for further explanation after the book is completed.
Then, in April, it should be 3 chapters a day (between 7 and 8,000 words as mentioned before), but it is really not guaranteed to be 3 chapters a day, because the latter part is more difficult to write, and I don’t know if there are any lags in the plot.
In this case, try to maintain a complete sprint for a month, and you can get at least 200 yuan more perfect attendance bonus.
PS1: Some book friends suggested changing the name of the book, but after consulting the editor, the book cannot be renamed unless there are special irresistible circumstances. Because it involves the contract, the popularity of Invincible Heroes has not been used, but it has become a restriction.
PS2: This is not a pure game novel. It can be regarded as fantasy or fantasy. It has a lot of words, the combat power has not collapsed, and the overall structure of the story has not collapsed. It still takes place in a certain range of the world, and there is no constant repetition of routines.
The act of opening a new map has a certain degree of entertainment and readability, and I strive to recommend it to friends who have never read it.
