1. Hello everyone, this is Andlao, your loyal friend who updates once a day and occasionally twice randomly.
2. As you can see, the fourth volume of this book has finally come to an end. There is a lot to say, probably much more than the previous nonsense combined.
3. From the perspective of the composition of the entire book, I was surprised to find that the current expected number of volumes is seven. The first three volumes are about the protagonist's past, the last three volumes are the protagonist's future, and this fourth volume is
It is a transition volume in the middle.
4. The ending this time is different. The endings of the first three volumes can basically be regarded as the end of a unit, but this time the ending is the opening, the opening of the future.
5. As for what the future is, this is the ultimate mystery of this book. After all, this book does not have an upgrade system. It basically relies on my nonsense and the plot line that runs through the entire text.
6. Thinking about it this way, I think it’s pretty amazing that I managed to write it for so long based on a mystery.
7. I am not very good at writing testimonials because my ideas are rather divergent. I basically write whatever comes to my mind. It is normal for me to have different logics before and after, so you can just take a look.
8. Let’s start with the characters in this volume.
9. In fact, what I want to try in this volume is a reversal of writing, which does not mean a reversal of plot events, but a reversal of characters.
10. For example, for all the new characters appearing in this volume, if you look closely, you will find that their character ideas when they first appeared are completely different from what they did after the incident.
11. I feel that sudden reversals are not necessary. It is better to let the reversals take their course. For example, the seemingly sinister Heibald is actually a loyal minister, and the teasing Irene will eventually fall in love with others.
Huao's transformation from an ordinary person to a believer to an angry fight, the innocent Liya is also in the whirlpool, and the reversal of defending peace and actually starting a war, etc.
12. What I want to write is a natural "reversal", which is completely different from the first time it appeared in front of everyone, and it is not abrupt.
13. Of course, in order to make the writing smoother, the impact of this kind of reversal in the text is not strong. Otherwise, a laboriously described reversal in every other picture would make people aesthetically tired.
14, and then let’s talk about the main character, Lawrence.
15. In fact, we talked about this very early. To be precise, it means the creation of the villain.
16. After all, the villain is the person who conflicts with the protagonist, but what is the reason for the conflict?
17. I think that to describe a qualified character, one must describe what drives him and why he becomes a villain.
18. Take power for example. Why do you desire power? You just desire power because you like power. Well, that’s not bad, but it’s obviously not interesting enough. What about unifying the world? What does the villain do to unify the world? Do you think you want to unify the world?
Very cool? That’s another reason, but obviously it’s not interesting enough.
19. He always needs a reason to become a villain, to stand on the opposite side of the protagonist and create conflicts. It doesn’t mean that I need a villain and just make one out of him.
20. When it comes to the interestingness of the villain, I think the interestingness is related to the reason why the villain becomes a villain and what he wants to do. These examples are the characters that have appeared before.
21. The other kind is not interesting enough, but becomes interesting when it is extreme enough.
22. Take Moriarty for example. He does evil just for the sake of it. He continues to do evil to the end and refuses to repent, so it is quite interesting.
23, then Lawrence is the most important villain in this book.
24. An interesting piece of news. This was told to me by a group of friends. Lorenzo is the Italian variant of Laurence. I checked the Oxford dictionary and it turned out to be true.
25. Suddenly...a sense of fate came over.
26. It must be said that this book is full of all kinds of unintentional plots, and all kinds of strange metaphysics are used to write this book.
27. Let’s talk about the character of Lawrence (the following is copied and pasted from the note, and may be repeated from the previous discussion.).
28. How do I put this? In fact, I also talked about some of my writing ideas in my previous feedback. For example, regarding the "villain" part, I don't really want to write that kind of person, but a very simple evil person.
29. Probably related to the psychology of wanting to write a group portrait. I tried to write it more independently. For example, he has his own ideas, but due to his different stance, he becomes the villain in the eyes of the protagonist. He probably treats the same thing.
, there are different views.
30. The protagonist is from one perspective, Lawrence is from one perspective, and the other characters are from another perspective. This can also be regarded as the three lines of the plot. I’m not sure whether this can be regarded as a whitewash. I still prefer to write,
Why does the villain do this? Instead of simply saying, I want to destroy the whole world.
31. I'm thinking about how to make this book different, out of the scope of killing monsters and upgrading, to something more advanced, such as saving the world.
32. In fact, when designing the villain, I thought a lot about how to write an impressive villain. Some people say that you should be evil to the end and never repent, so I wrote Moriarty and never repented until my death.
33. The other one I thought of not long ago is the conflict caused by different positions. Of course, this is somewhat suspected of whitewashing. I have also seen everyone’s comments before, but I want to say that it does not mean that it explains a person’s “evil doings”.
The reason is to whitewash. I just want to perfect this character. I don't want to be a "villain" because of the "villain". And I have also emphasized this in the article. The villains also know very well that they are not good people, even if they are said to be "villains"
For the sake of "justice", he will not end well, but this is what he wants to do, and this is enough.
34, describes Lawrence's transformation, his purpose, the reason why he cannot trust others, and what he wants to do, and anyone who gets in his way will die.
35. As mentioned in the article, everyone is righteous, everyone is evil, everyone will go to heaven, and everyone will go to hell.
36. The world is neither black nor white, but a delicate gray.
37. So in my mind, Lawrence is an extreme terrorist. His thoughts are good and his intentions are good, but he is too extreme and cannot reconcile with others, thus turning into a villain.
38. It's like zombies have surrounded this building, and everyone is trying to escape. Lawrence's idea is to kill everyone in this building first, so that everyone who becomes a corpse will not turn into zombies and bite people in other buildings.
survivor.
39. Well, this example is indeed a bit crazy.
40. The protagonist wants to take another path, a less extreme path, such as killing Lawrence, an extremist, first, and then finding a way to bring more people to survive.
41, and this is the story I want to write in the next three volumes.
42. The world is going to be destroyed. Why is the world going to be destroyed? How should the protagonists save the world.
43. Of course, the setting of world destruction will be rounded out. It can be said that I have basically rounded out all the pitfalls and settings in this book. I feel that I am awesome, because I was really good at it when I first wrote it.
I didn't think much about it.
44. Speaking of saving the world, when faced with this problem, the answer Lawrence gave was his extreme behavior, and the protagonist has to find another way. Is he a Lawrence who is not so extreme, or a Lawrence who can trust people?
45. So as I said before, this is what I want to write about. People have different views on one thing, and they make choices and conflicts due to their own experiences and situations.
46. Do evil things for noble reasons and be willing to pay the price.
47. Let me talk about another thing. In fact, according to my original idea, Irene will die in the escape. According to my idea, she will use secret blood to stop the enemy, turn into a monster and kill Corey, and give the ignorant Hong
Falcon comes and strikes.
48, but I gave up, not for any other reason, but mainly because I felt that this book was set in a relatively depressing and dark world. It was so bad, so there had to be some hope for something better.
49, so the girl survived, and a world without girls getting hurt emerged.
50. By the way, let me tell you again, the reason why I suddenly got inspired to write this volume was that this volume was not included in my original plan, but because I heard two songs, I thought they were pretty good, and a character vaguely appeared in front of me.
, the reason behind her appearance was the events involved, which further promoted the plot.
51, this volume was born under various circumstances.
52, the two songs are Gloria (Live)—Mando Diao, Miss Jackson—Panic! At The Disco
53. The name Gloria Jackson is two song titles spelled together, and it also combines the content of the lyrics to create an ideal character.
54. There is also a problem with the plot setting. In fact, according to my original design, Irene should have appeared as early as the second volume, but think about it, each volume must be divided into priorities.
, the main events, the main characters, if Irene is added, it will look very messy.
55, so it was released again and again, and it only appeared now.
56. In the original design, the person having an affair with Irene was actually not the kestrel, but the protagonist.
57, then here comes the problem. This kind of thing is undoubtedly poisonous in the eyes of some people. It is ambiguous and even has a touch of tauren. Moreover, I also think that the protagonist is too protagonist. All good things belong to him. Let’s follow this cool article.
The protagonist is the same.
58. So what should we do? Why not spread out the emotional lines of the characters, for example, include supporting roles, and write in a way similar to a group portrait.
59, and then this is what everyone sees.
60. In fact, what I want to write is a change in emotions and thoughts. She does evil and suddenly understands the beauty. She wants to find a way to redemption, but it is too late. She goes to save Ivar, but fails in the end. Although she survives
She came down, but the beauty was no longer there. She also wanted to stay, but she couldn't accept herself, so she left and continued to look for a way to redemption.
61. After all, a book should not be filled with endless chopping and cutting. It should add some other story lines that are consistent with the logic of the story and can make it more colorful.
62, according to my idea, that’s it.
63, so I think the characters in a story should change.
64, just like the character is a funny Bichon bear when the character is 100,000 words, it can’t be like this when the character is 1 million.
65. Then, what else do you want to say?
66, so this book is still an online article, not so online. Thank you to all the readers who can read it.
67, and then... As a rule, this book has been set at 2530 so far. Maybe it will be a good one before it is finished.
68. Thank you for your support, brothers. Every subscription you make will be turned into banknotes that I use to buy electric heating and electricity bills to help me survive the severe cold in the Northeast.
69, Wuwuwu.
70. After all, online writing can be considered a service industry. I have read everyone’s comments and this chapter.
71. Thanks to the readers who helped me find typos in this chapter.
72. After the coding, I have read the text several times, and it is difficult for me to find typos. Thank you for your feedback, and of course the old man who keeps picking on my punctuation marks. This makes me feel like I am back in elementary school.
I feel a little younger when the teacher is correcting my homework.
73, and readers who have been reading it, it is a rare treasure.
74. Then let’s talk about some follow-up update plans. I want to be more diligent in the next update, such as 6k a day. Of course, it is more metaphysical. I have to think about the outline clearly.
75, do you think I need to take leave?
76. No, this month’s leave application form has been used up. Let’s take a break next month.
77. If you really need to think about the outline, you will probably ask for leave once at the end of this month, then refresh the leave request form at the beginning of the month, and ask for another day or two days of leave.
78. I am really careful about my budget.
79. By the way, I would like to highly recommend a peerless book called "The Dream of the Old God".
80. In this terrible world full of evil mystical cults, I, Colin, just want to get ten tons of gold as soon as possible.
81. The setting of the author's sidereal instrument is great. I often discuss it with him, and we are both busy people. Please go and watch it.
82, by the way, his update is stable now...probably.
83. To be honest, this is my first time writing a recommendation. No, it’s not the case. I recommend a certain book every time I lift my hips.
84, I understand everything.
85, and then that's probably it.
86. After all, the progress of Ember is officially over halfway, and the basic tone of this book has been set. What I can do is not to please anything, but to rush all the way to the ending according to my original vision.
87, I will try my best to write the ending of this story.
88, that's about it.
89. I will probably try some new things in the next volume. I am still thinking about it, but there will be some.
