Sometimes I wonder - what kind of novel should I write?
I always knew, but I always asked.
Went out for dinner with friends last night.
Sitting in the back seat of a taxi, looking at the night scene passing by the window, it was so blurry that I couldn't see anything clearly.
Suddenly many images came to mind.
Ling He took Wei Yan's knife and ran quickly on Zhao Lang's stone wall. He used the old man's ruler to slap Zhuang Gaoxian in the face...
After Jiang Wang finally took his revenge, he no longer suppressed himself and screamed in the sky under the rain of blood.
These pictures appeared in my mind when I finished writing the first volume.
I endured it for a long time before meeting them at the most suitable time.
I'm so lucky.
Being able to be favored by these images and having the support of so many people, I was able to depict them meticulously.
I often think - how else can I write?
Chixin has written 6.5 million words so far, and there is no repeated plot or the same emotion. Readers’ thresholds are constantly rising, and so are the author’s thresholds. How should I write so that readers can read 650 words?
You who have written 100,000 words still find it wonderful? How should I write so that I, who have written these 6.5 million words, can still be excited and satisfied?
There is no answer to this question.
Sometimes inspiration comes, and sometimes it's hard. You can only move forward, keep walking, and watch as you go.
Thinking back to my last vacation.
It seems like it was a lifetime ago.
That time I went to look at houses (I planned to buy a house with excellent Feng Shui that would speed up coding, I did it for you). As a result, I looked for several days in a row, but I didn’t choose the right one. I was so tired that I couldn’t even move.
I didn’t want to move and started this volume without taking any rest.
And the last time I asked for leave to attend a wedding - it can't be considered a leave, at most it is a work schedule adjustment. Who took leave and made up for it? Wasn't it in vain? (It's just me, your Ah Shen, Shuai Shen, so honest and honest.
point.)
Anyway, I was tired. I originally wanted to take a trip to Daluoshan to see Li Yi, but I didn't make it.
I chose to take the high-speed train in order to catch up on my manuscript. It took more than seven hours to get back, and I felt numb when I got off the train.
I will definitely have a good rest this time!
Sorry, let me get back to the summary.
After finishing the tenth volume, and taking back all the foreshadowing of the floating land world, I think I can talk to you about the "dungeon" thing.
What is a copy?
The official explanation is: Dungeons mainly bring players the output of equipment, props, and game resources to satisfy the players' game progress.
To put it simply, it is a place to upgrade and obtain equipment.
I believe this is also what many people expect from copies.
But Li's copy is obviously not satisfied with this.
I don’t want to write a place that has nothing to do with the story. It’s meaningless just to upgrade and get equipment. I think it’s a waste of words - writing so many words must be worth so many words. They
It should be helpful in building this world.
Up to this point in writing this book, the entire world view is based on a complete map.
The so-called "copies" are rarely opened.
The main ones are the Tianfu Secret Realm, the Forest Sea Source Realm, and the Floating Land World.
In fact, neither the Demon Realm nor the Mysterious Realm can be considered dungeons. They are the other side of history, and the Mysterious Realm is in the present world and is one of the main battlefields.
The secret realm of Tianfu is Jing Hua Shui Yue, unfolding the plots of Overturning the Sea, Ji Yanru, and Xuanyuan Shuo, expanding the Yang Kingdom, and even the history of the period when the Dao calendar restarted. Of course, there is also Zhu Biqiong who is complete with this plot line.
The story of Guan Yan, Xiaofan, and Ao Kui unfolded in the world of Senhaiyuan. The plot line of Ao Kui also connected the sea and the floating land.
The floating land world fills in the ancient and medieval history, completes the magic power, and completes the story of the eight wise ministers of the human race, Wuhan Gong.
They don’t seem to be considered copies, because they are closely related to this world, and they are part of this world in terms of map meaning and story structure.
Have you noticed?
Jiang Wang has been walking in some stories. While he is experiencing his own life, he is also experiencing the lives of others.
The real world is like this. The person walking towards you may have just lost love. The person sitting on the bench on the street corner may be thinking about life. The person holding the coffee feels that life is bitter, but what you hear in your ears is the laughter of children...
…
Everyone has his own life.
You're not the only one.
I have always said that I want to write a fairy tale world in my dreams. This is the main line of this novel.
What I write is never just the story of Jiang Wang alone. It is not even the story of the current era.
Following Jiang Wang's perspective, we experience his life and this new era together. But in the process, we also read the history of this world.
In today's world of great strife, the stars are indeed shining brightly.
At the end of modern times, at the beginning of the restart of the Dao calendar. Ji Yusu, Sui Yanqiu, Xuanyuan Shuo, Fei Hai, Sui Yanru, Ying Yunian, Chai Yin... Aren't they also shining stars?
Not to mention the ancient sages who led the human race out of the dark age and defeated the demon clan in heaven. The Suiren clan, Bu Lian, Wuhan Gong, Kaidao clan, Bingwu...
The World Honored One, Demon Patriarch, Confucian Patriarch Kong Ke, and Dharma Patriarch Han Gui from ancient times...
The Lieshan clan, the Dragon Emperor, the Nine Sons of the Dragon Emperor, and the Heavenly Buddha in the medieval era...
Or even just push forward a few tens or hundreds of years.
Jiang Mengxiong, Xiang Fengqi, Xu Yuanzhi, Huang Weizhen... they are all dazzling and shine for a period of time.
Sometimes I feel as if they are there, and I am just a clumsy painter who worked very hard to copy them. Even though I tried my best, I still couldn't draw them with great brilliance.
However, just these seven or eight points, or even three or four points of their original charm, attracted so many people to stop.
How lucky I am to be with so many readers!
Although I often say that I am tired, that is just an objective description of a state.
Many times I am physically and mentally exhausted and really can’t write.
Writing is no harder than moving bricks, but if you grit your teeth when moving bricks, you can still move a few more bricks. When writing, if you grit your teeth, you will often create more piles of garbage.
I need full emotions, abundant energy, and a healthy body to fully devote myself to creation.
My biggest effort in the past few years is to make myself write the best words even in the worst state. Every time I refine it, I read it sentence by sentence and adjust the words to my personal sense of language.
The most comfortable state.
But sometimes if you practice diligently in a daze, you will change what was right into wrong.
Like when I wrote about the part where Jiang Wang went to Chu State and met Xiang Bei.
I wrote that chapter pretty well, it was interesting.
It was during the intensive practice the next day that I obviously didn't sleep well and was in a bad state. I was in a trance. I was still confident that I could practice better, but I accidentally added, "They exchanged a look."
Exchange glances with a blind man!
I almost went crazy after that. I never dreamed that I could make such a low-level clerical error.
But that’s just how people are.
People just have such bad times.
To be honest, I thought I would be weak until the end of the paper - I also emphasized before that I will definitely write the end of the paper wonderfully, but it may be very slow. In order to ensure the level of the end of the paper, I do not rule out continuous adjustments.
But one day I suddenly took a look, why is it ranked ninth on the monthly vote list?
I haven't competed for nearly two years. The further I go, the harder it becomes to write, and I have to hold on to all the threads to move forward. In order to ensure the quality of the novel, I can only stay steady and build the world bit by bit.
But my readers actually pushed me, who updates 4,000 times a day, to ninth on the overall list.
I hadn't paid attention to the list for a long time, and I deliberately scrolled forward that day. I found that for many months before, it was eleven, twelve, thirteen, eleven.
Just a little bit.
What's the difference?
I suddenly woke up——
It's luck.
Hahaha nope.
It’s hard work!!
I haven't worked hard enough, although I write every day, from morning to night.
But I am often distracted and in a daze. Sometimes I would rather trim my nails than write an extra word. I don’t know why I am so exhausted at such a young age.
But that day when I saw the ninth place on the monthly list, I suddenly became excited, as if I had been given a shot of blood...
I wrote until early in the morning every night, and got up at 7 or 8 in the morning to write again. I wrote and revised, but I didn’t lose my mind. I was very excited!
I even began to understand why some people don't need much sleep, only sleep four or five hours a day, and have less energy than ordinary people.
At that time I thought maybe I also had this talent.
But it turns out that chicken blood is just chicken blood.
Yes, I am now in the state of chicken blood.
He was so depressed that he didn't even want to move his fingers.
Strictly speaking, the climax of this volume begins with Chapter 99 "I Didn't Walk Alone".
I have been writing until the end of Chapter 114 "Maple Forest's Old Dream".
But in fact, the previous scenes of the Taixu Alliance and the Dragon Palace were also very exciting. Moreover, Duke Wu Han's "beyond all my imagination at that time" ended not long ago...
Putting all this aside, just looking at the section about killing the villager, it was a climax that lasted nearly 80,000 words!
People will get tired if they climax for too long.
I believe everyone is tired.
have a good rest!!
We will come again next time!
…
The results of this volume hit a new high.
Both orders were thirty-two thousand six, with a further order of forty-two thousand.
We ranked seventh on the monthly list in June, well, we are still ranked second on the monthly list. (I really hope to give other authors a shot in the arm and turn their working state into a resting state. Follow me.
Press pause together)
The most powerful thing is getting the achievement of 500 alliances. (Before this climax started, it was 482 alliances. Now it is 553.)
In the entire starting point, only fourteen books have achieved this achievement.
And we don’t have any rebates from the leader or any kind of subsidy from the author. It’s all about everyone’s love for this world and their support for this stubborn, even paranoid author who has gone all the way.
Real readers are the greatest honor!
When I can't think of a plot and am struggling with it word by word, I feel like writing is so damn hard. It's like lighting a lamp to boil oil and burning blood and marrow. My youth, beauty, and hair are all burned together with my inspiration.
It’s gone!
But when I wrote a plot that I was satisfied with, and I felt that many readers were moved along with me, I felt that writing was so happy!
Is there anything happier than writing?
Not anymore!
Thank you to everyone who allows me to write my own stories without having to worry about any voices.
Thank you to everyone who loves and supports this world.
thank you.
…
Although I have already prepared the structure of the entire world, from ancient times to the present, the characters of the Eight Wise Ministers in ancient times were the first to be drawn up. But people need to face reality.
I am ashamed to say that when the results of this book were very poor, I had already decided that the history would be written in modern times, mainly the Immortal Palace Era, and the current world would be written in Maple Grove.
All stories begin and end in the maple forest.
The ending I have today is the ending I planned at that time. (Isn’t it also pretty good?!)
If written like this, neither the demon world nor the mythical world will unfold. The Human Emperor, Dragon Emperor, Eight Wise Ministers, Dragon Fisherman, Yu Zhen, Fu Hai, World Honored One, Heavenly Buddha... are all just background.
Because the whole process of the novel is layer by layer, and if I don’t write it, readers won’t be able to tell it. No one can say I’m a bad writer.
However, thank you to so many readers for giving me the confidence to write everything I want to write.
It is everyone's participation that opens the door to history and makes the world clearer. It allows those figures deep in time to show their outlines.
Thank you to all the people who love this world. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to fulfill my dream of being a fairy.
Maple Grove is not the end, I have a more exciting ending.
It has appeared in my mind, waiting to meet you.
And thank you for giving it the chance to come out.

I haven't started the detailed outline of Volume 11 yet, but there are many plot scenes.
I believe that is a very wonderful story.
But I really can't think anymore.
Therefore, the name of the volume has not been chosen yet.
All in all, five days of vacation (four days after deducting today).
See you at 12 noon on July 9th!
By the way, there are so many people urging me to write a speech. They even urge me to write a speech during the holiday. I even urge me to write a speech. Isn’t that human!?
