Volume 4, the Eastern Kingdom chapter has finally come to an end, which is a joy to celebrate.
In fact, the results of this volume are not very good. At the beginning, due to amnesia, many readers gave up the book and their subscriptions dropped (woo woo woo...)
Later, the part about the sunset over the mountains was written in a rather heavy and depressing way, which made some little cuties feel that they couldn't bear it, complained endlessly, and were depressed for a while.
It wasn't until Little Luolan's big party that her grades recovered a little. It can be seen that in the future, in order to avoid being too immersed in the plot, it is necessary to intersperse some light-hearted things. (Hmm~)
This can be regarded as the trend of the times. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer long narrative novels that set up the background of the big world. I can roughly feel the reason for this.
First, the cost of reading has increased. Long-form narratives will inevitably have more characters, backgrounds, and plots that will become more and more complex. In today's social environment, students and workers face great competition and are tired. It is difficult to read after get off work and school. Have the energy to remember many things.
Second, the cognitive environment is full of anxiety and uneasiness, which causes the protagonist in the plot to be slightly frustrated, and many cuties will be particularly worried, uneasy, and even uncomfortable. But if everything goes well, such a story will
It is inevitable that it will be mediocre and boring, so this is quite a test of the author's skills. If you are not careful, you will write poisonous points. (Abuse articles are almost extinct in online articles now)
Third, the evaluation of values is becoming increasingly strict. In online debates year by year, people have higher and higher requirements for morality. The slightest flaw will attract attacks. Even if you are not good (not helping others), you will be looked down upon.
The existence of evildoers and moral kidnappings abound. And creating a good protagonist has become an unpleasant task.
The general environment is like this. Even I myself have been reluctant to read some of the books on the list recently because I feel tired and anxiety is everywhere, which consumes a lot of energy. Sometimes it takes a long time to slow down and enter the writing state.
Sometimes I even think that my next book must be a relaxing and joyful one to comfort myself.

Okay, this is the end of Aozora’s little complaints, let’s talk about the contents of the new volume.
Volume 5, the War of Roses, is about to begin.
From the name, you can probably guess that the plot mainly takes place in the Green Empire, so don’t keep asking me why the protagonist doesn’t return to Crancia soon, or something like that =.=/
Where did the former classmates and roommates go after graduation, what will they experience, and what kind of beliefs will they live and fight with?
Rock and Isaiah, how will these two former playmates turn against each other?
Will the empire always be united under the will of the new emperor? Will the four major dukes be willing to hand over all their power?
What kind of future will the situation in the Western Continent lead to, and what ending will the Green Empire enter?
All in all, stay tuned for the next volume, War of Roses!
Dangdangdang~
