Tea with Sword and Poetry The world is in the south and the north is in the north, a total of this cup (the end of the second volume and the third volume of chat)
The world is in the south and the north is in the north, a total of this cup (the end of the second volume and the third volume of chat)
Dear tea lovers, hello everyone, a certain tea wrote this while bowing to everyone.
It may be a little strange to choose this time to write the closing remarks of Volume 2. Shouldn't it be written at the end of Volume 2?
This is probably because I'm... lazy, ha, why can this guy say such things so confidently? It feels so shameless. Please, please don't hit me, otherwise I can only hold my head and run away. In fact, the reason
I put it here mainly because I think the time is right now.
First of all, when I just finished writing the second volume, I only had one feeling in my mind: Ah, finally...
Other than that, there are no other feelings. It’s like I just finished a 12-minute long-distance running physical test on the playground, or to use the vulgar advertising slogan “I feel like my body has been hollowed out”. If I had to write some testimonials at that time, I would probably
I can only pick up some clichés that have been said before and repeat them. It is neither interesting nor my style.
Now, after some time has passed, I look back on that journey in a more calm manner. I sincerely feel that I have many feelings and touches, and I want to share my gratitude with you.
Secondly, the story of the third volume is about to enter an important turning point here, so there are many things I want to talk to you about at this time. The next story will be different from the one who still holds the pipa half-hidden and wants to talk about it.
status, cutting into the main axis of this volume quickly and neatly. Why did I choose this way of writing? How will the story develop next? These will be discussed with you below.
………………
The process of writing the second volume was no less than a thrilling adventure for me. It was completely different from the first volume.
The idea of the first volume has actually been floating in my mind for a long time. I love the story of "Battle Royale", whether it is a novel, a movie, or a comic... The tension of murderous intent and the existence of countless possibilities
The sexual plot development always seems very enjoyable.
But what sticks in my throat is that most of these stories only focus on how to fight and kill happily. As for why we fight and why we kill, the reasons behind it are often far-fetched. It seems that the creators don't care much about this.
, it’s okay if it’s cool, but I care so much. Also, when reading this kind of story, I often can’t help but want to complain. Please, do you consider that the big brothers and sisters who are high up and down are fighting so fiercely?
What are the feelings of people passing by the local area?
Out of an unhappiness impulse, I had already drafted the story of the first volume before I started writing it. It built a closed-loop framework with the "Deer Game" as the core of multi-party chaos and fighting for victory. However, the Zhulu Game itself only serves the purpose of
The branch line of the main line, the real main line is the gradual decryption of the reasons behind it. The protagonist Sun Suhe is a passerby who is both involved in it and free from it. I hope to create a different kind of fun with this anti-traditional perspective.
The story of the whole volume is carried out within this framework. In this way, I first delineated the rules and circles, and then moved around with my pen and ink. Even if I encountered something difficult to deal with, I was very calm because I knew in my heart that I would be able to deal with it.
Shun.
The second volume was completely different. When I started writing, I only had a rough idea in my mind of what I wanted in this volume.
The first is a slight touch on religious themes, which also pave the way for the subsequent development of the book's important setting of "poetic talent."
Then there is the formal start of magic practice by the protagonist Sun Suhe, and the initial process of using his own abilities.
Also, with the appearance of our cute little bear and the cute...well, the not-so-cute fat cat Mr. Lihua, "Ling" has officially entered the board as an important force. This includes a small ambition of mine, traditional
The creation of monsters, in the final analysis, is about humans, and what I want to write about is "not humans".
Of course, Zhou Yiqing, an awkward idol with dual identities, is also indispensable. This idea is so interesting that I must write it. At the same time, his line can also pave the way for the subsequent story of the old man.
…
There are many others, and it would be too verbose to list them one by one. Looking back now, it is really quite complicated.
At that time, a large number of ingredients were already on hand, but some grew on the mountains, some swam in the sea, some were salty, and some were sweet. How to make them taste harmonious while still allowing readers to have fun eating them was really a question.
A matter of great thought.
Moreover, some of the clues left over from the first volume need to be gathered here, and the foreshadowing of the subsequent story must be properly laid here.
The situation at that time was really entangled with countless connections behind me, and I was running forward like a wild horse in a fog. For me, a novice who was writing a long series for the first time, I felt that I was at the end of my rope several times, and I had no idea what to do next.
Wrote.
It's never that simple to say something like a flower in the dark. Fortunately, the characters in our story are no longer just puppets, but have gradually taken on a life of their own. At this time, I can feel that they have their own adventures.
, they have their souls, the story is already there, I just need to record it.
It may seem a bit mysterious, but this feeling is very real. When I reach the end of writing, inspiration suddenly bursts out that I never thought of. It is really a feeling of comfort all over.
By the way, as a boring aside, 70% of these inspirations suddenly came to me while I was washing my face and taking a shower, listening to the sound of water. Maybe my muse likes to live in water, hahaha.
Recently, I reread the second volume. What I saw in front of me was no longer the words I chewed over and over again. The slight sense of alienation brought by time made me, a "reader", experience a novel feeling. Looking back now, the whole story is very different from the previous one.
My original vague idea was very different, but I already had what I wanted, and there were surprises that I didn't expect.
Dear tea lovers, this dish should not taste bad.
Of course, I also know that there are regrettable aspects in it. As a reader, I can feel that there are immature aspects in the arrangement of writing and ink. For example, some parts were written happily at the time, but overall they appear to be
It's cumbersome. For example, some plots need a few more strokes to be strong enough. For example, some characters are a bit thin. It might be better if more strokes can be spent on them.
Fortunately, these regrets are not irreparable. You must have discovered that our story will not be like most fantasy novels. The protagonist upgrades and changes the map. The previous supporting characters become useless and will not appear again. I can't bear to let it go.
These guys, these old faces and old friends will appear in more fleshed-out images in future stories and write rich and colorful plots with us.
This is the best thing about serialized novels.
In this era of fragmented reading, "long" seems to have become a kind of original sin, "too long to read", these four words can be seen on the Internet anytime and anywhere.
But what’s very interesting is that there seems to be only one exception. Only when reading serialized novels does the phrase “it’s too short, don’t read it, just read it first” appear.
Because of this, I can experience adventures with you and create this world together. This is really a luxurious romance. I am very, very grateful for your support. You may not imagine how important this is to me.
Special thanks to Guang Youxinsheng! Let me tell you something very embarrassing. I have never understood the comment system in the author's backend. I didn't see many comments before. I'm really sorry. However, it seems that the version has been revised in the past two days, and a lot of them popped up at once.
Comments that I haven’t read even popped up on qq. Thank you Guang for your continued support. I have read every message you left at the end of the chapter. It really warms my heart. There will be a very important person in the next chapter.
A new chess player has appeared. What do you think his name is?
Special thanks to Mr. Emiya, thank you for pointing out my wording errors in the "Thirty-five Solid Articles of the Art of War". I really made people laugh when I wrote "The Thirty-five Solid Articles of the Art of War". I didn't do enough in my previous homework. I should check more information.
I
I have changed to "箇" in the article. Since the system can display it, I think I'd better use it. It feels more handsome than using the simplified "ge". You can be my one-character master! I sincerely
I feel so lucky to have met you.
………………
Regarding the subsequent story of the third volume, I would like to talk a little bit with you here. Don’t worry, I won’t spoil your reading experience by spoiling it.
The framework of the first volume is a closed ring structure, while the second volume uses Sun Suhe's process of dealing with the remaining issues of Zhulin Trading Company as a sign, stringing together the interrelated stories like a candied haws.
For the third volume, I want to try a group portrait writing method to create a more three-dimensional world.
This is also why I have not rushed to cut into the main axis of the story so far, but have spent a lot of ink on the supporting characters, such as Izumi Kyoka, Akutagawa and Ye Mingshan...
Some friends complained about me before. The battle between Sun Suhe and Ye Mingshan was written as if Ye Mingshan was the protagonist. It almost stole the spotlight from the protagonist.
Haha, although our Mr. Su He has cheated and gained a huge reputation, he is not Long Aotian. I really hate the plots in some novels where the protagonist who looks like a hooligan takes all the good things.
In my heart, the charm of a character is not to suppress others. On the contrary, the brilliance of many people can better set off the brilliance of one person. And since this volume has moved the stage abroad and I can write more freely, how can I not give full play to it?
Woolen cloth?
The following story will cut into the main plot quickly and neatly, so please look forward to their respective activities.
Finally, please allow me to reiterate what I have said before.
I wanted to write a "real" interest in this book and create a feeling that everything in the book really happened. The historical part can create a sense of reality by describing some details, but the modern part is completely different. Because
Our story is full of fantasy and fantasy, and the background of the modern part is the daily life we live in every day. If there is a big fight in Kyoto right now, will everyone feel it is real? Definitely not.
So my idea is that in the modern part, I will deliberately blur and distort some details to distance it from our daily life, so that it will be more realistic. For example, everyone must be familiar with the stages in the first two volumes.
As you can see, it is basically based on Hangzhou, but I would rather use the description "this city" for this reason.
In this volume, the chess players who are only background characters and do not officially participate in the story use their real names. They are as far away as legends such as Susana, Hidece, and Wu Qingyuan, and as close as Fujisawa Hideyuki, Nie Weiping, Li Changhao and other chess seniors.
The chess players who participated in the story after playing chess used pseudonyms. For example, the current number one player in China, South Korea and Japan:
Ke Jie——Ke Zhe
Park Ting-hwan - Park Ting-heng
Yuta Iyama (Fumihiro Honinbo) - Yuta Inoue (Fumihiro Honinbo), Fumihiro Honinbo are the nicknames and will not be changed.
………………
I have written a lot without realizing it. Thank you all for being willing to listen to my chatter for so long.
Tea lovers come from all over the world, but here, we are temporarily freed from the constraints of reality, experience adventures together, and gradually build a world that is both real and illusory. It is really a romantic fairy tale.
I won’t say much more about my thanks. Please allow me to offer you a cup of tea.
