Finished this testimonial and some thoughts on the sequel preview?
The serialization started two years ago on Christmas Eve in 2018. It has been exactly 23 months now that Xiaoyun’s Virgo “Lamarck’s Game” has officially been completed. First of all, although it is a cliché, it is indeed the first thing that comes to mind.
Thoughts brought to mind many familiar names.
Sister Wumao/Damo who guided Xiaoyun to pass the review at the beginning, the cutest baby Phoebe Ling; Xiaoyun's first editor Maomao and now the particularly warm-hearted sister Fuling; the conscientious operations officer Unknown Fantasy, from beginning to end
Lin Dai who helps catch insects; the cover artist Dao Zhizhi and the Yunshang Fairy who contributed a lot of vertical painting peripherals
Aisen Adrian, Mu Yu Hongyi who advises each other to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses; highly recommends the Century Dragon Slayer who is always the most popular, and the little angel of Yunzhongxian Alliance who rewards daily; Sula Pu'er Tea, Ghost who left many interesting comments
Lampstand, octopus on the banks of the Seine, pzushio who left a large reward early, Nitch, the poster is not here...
There are also those who join the Yunshang Xianfu book club to give pointers every day, those who silently read and vote quietly, those who silently go to Tieba to post and recommend books, and many, many cuties who silently support Xiaoyun.
To be honest, Xiaoyun in life is a bit shy, timid, and even withdrawn. He has probably never had so many friends in his life. His signature anti-social personality has become warmer because of this (laughing~) There have always been famous faces in memory
Social barriers, but with "Lamarck Game" I unknowingly remembered a lot of names
Writing novels, especially online articles with millions of words, is not so much a career as a life. When you devote nearly half of your life to one thing, it will naturally become a part of "you".
"Part of this concept. Whether you are willing or not, when you create a world, that world will inevitably affect you.
In other words, a writer's attitude towards her works determines her value in society and the height of her life. Regardless of the outcome, Xiaoyun can proudly tell herself that despite the many major events, twists and turns in her life during this period,
It's hard work, but my original intention towards my work has never changed.
Looking back on the whole book, although I failed to make every chapter a leap as I imagined at the beginning, with a ladder-like trajectory and an unparalleled ending to verify my life, I still think I have achieved it, and I am trying different things in every chapter.
Subject matter, different writing methods, and different writing ideas.
Moreover, no matter how many chapters there are, I feel that every chapter is indeed making progress.
As a professional artist (as mentioned at the time of listing, Xiaoyun is a composer), Xiaoyun believes that the core value of online literature is not to make readers enjoy reading, but to allow everyone to always have a novel enough experience. Whether it is published
Whether it’s an unexpected ending or an unheard-of social and cultural setting, as long as there is something new and changed, these things will become your unique value. More or less, your creation will be meaningful.
When I first started writing Lamarck, I met many veterans in the online literary circle, who preached that just write casually, promoted routine templates, and encouraged readers to have fun and make money. I was very unhappy at the time and wanted to finish my book.
, I will be slapped in the face after finishing this book.
As a result, the data of the book~ I definitely can’t hit the face, it’s all half-assed and half-attacked. However, judging from the sales volume of Virgo, it is still better than most of them. However, because I still firmly believe in my own
The original intention of the creation, so I still have to talk about some things.
I think many old people on the streets would want to say, is it worth it for you to spend several times our time and earn only a few dollars more, writing with the ink of your life? Thinking about it carefully, Xiaoyun thinks it is quite worth it.
Because from the very beginning, Xiaoyun was not just trying to make money. OwO
It takes a lot of time, and life has become really hard because of writing books. Xiaoyun’s main job is to study for a Ph.D., take care of students at the same time, take on some private music work, do odd jobs to support the family and pay off the mortgage, and the rest
Most of my time is devoted to writing books.
Pursuing details, Xiaoyun will check many things mentioned in the book in detail. And with a scholar's mentality, he often writes out the words after verifying each other with reference to different materials. As small as the noun of a piece of clothing and furniture,
There are many Easter eggs in the article that no one has discovered yet, as well as a large amount of astronomy, physics, and legal knowledge involved in the power system in the article.
It is no exaggeration to say that the time spent looking up and learning various knowledge plus the time spent conceiving and setting outlines and details is more than the time spent actually writing.
Finally, it came down to writing. No matter what I learned along the way, I used one percent or one thousandth, Xiaoyun felt that it was worth it. As mentioned before, for a writer, his work is his life.
There is a motto that says, if you have a jar of water in your stomach, the last thing you pour out will be a cup. The people behind any of the classics that have been handed down from generation to generation are not the ones who have learned a lot and have a lot of knowledge about the past and the present?
Of course, the original meaning of this sentence is to see the big from the small, and only by focusing on the details can we have enough knowledge to make the work three-dimensional and vivid. However, in Xiaoyun's view, since he wanted to write a book from the beginning,
When the water comes out of the tank, it is better to open your stomach and drink a vast ocean first.
As for whether we can leave any classics that will be handed down in the end as originally expected, we will have to wait and see. If this book doesn't work, why don't we still have another book? Which person with ideals is not racing against time and his own life?
Many people read Xiaoyun's words and think that Xiaoyun is a genius... Well, the test data is correct (I shamelessly admit it), but here we don't talk about talent, but attitude.
There is nothing wrong with writers wanting to make money and want a better life, but even if they are competing for sales, a writer who is deep, knowledgeable, thoughtful and creative must constantly open new eunuchs and look forward to himself like buying a lottery ticket.
The beginning of any book can be a hit, right?
Lamarck's data cannot be criticized, but the growth process of its data can illustrate some problems. There are not many old friends who have accompanied this book from the early days, but you must all remember the many surprising points in the beginning of this book.
It was a new author, and it was an unpopular channel. At that time, no one cared about it for a long time. According to the routine of veterans, it should have been abandoned long ago.
But Xiaoyun happily wrote it down, and gradually it became known to everyone. She also has many favorite little cuties and today's achievements.
In the same example, a book on the same page that was published later than Lamarck can be regarded as a book from the same period. It has been silent for a longer time and no one cares about it. Now the data is better than that of Lamarck, which is also a good portrayal.
Having said so much, there are no more than eight words: Don’t forget your original intention and pursue the right path. In the words of the end of this book, I can encourage some friends who are aspiring to create, and more importantly, it can encourage myself to persevere forever.
To sum up this book, there are several areas where the performance can be improved. One is that Xiaoyun is new to the book and does not understand the market or everyone’s tastes or his writing skills need to be improved.
This aspect is mainly reflected in the unintentional touch of many people's faults, such as some weak companions and the heroine who are too sympathetic to the weak, such as some superficial descriptions of appearance, such as the general emotional thinness of the characters...
Others are because Xiaoyun is too individual, such as the heroine's self-proclaimed, sexual orientation and emotional description, such as the heroine's chaotic and neutral camp, etc., which has caused various niche taste lovers to be dissatisfied with each other, without cp
The battle with Lily, the battle between the Purity Party and the Harem Party, etc.
And in order to pursue the excitement of character reasoning, too many things are conveyed between the lines through hints, making it difficult for many cuties who are accustomed to fast food literature to even understand it.
So summing up his experience, Xiaoyun’s thoughts on the new book, which is the sequel to Lamarck’s Game, are still very clear.
First of all, you have to learn what you need to learn, and you have to change what you need to change. Those things that are insignificant to Xiaoyun naturally have to be written in a way that everyone likes to hear and see. Compared with this book, the depth of the original style and the various implications have to be written in the end.
More and more explanations and explicit explanations are added, and Xiaoyun will write the opposite in the next book.
Let’s start with writing in a simple and straightforward way. No matter how subtle the layout strategy is, describe it in a tone that everyone can understand. Wait until everyone has a certain degree of confidence in Xiaoyun and knows Xiaoyun’s writing habits and abilities.
Gradually, we will take you step by step to delve deeper into the crazy and brain-intensive structure.
The same is true for the emotional line. Xiaoyun himself is La, and the only one who can understand and be willing to express it is Lily. Friends who want to watch BG are sorry that it is impossible. But compared to the relatively immature emotional description of this work, Xiaoyun
I plan to use more subtle and abstract methods to express emotional relationships next time.
Just like Qu Yun and Sister Longnu, if the direct confessions and sex scenes were cut off, it would probably become a kind of lily control, which is secretly exciting to read. It seems that BG or heroine fans will also feel that it is not a bad idea to treat them as sisters.
status.
This is not because I have set my sights on the big cake without CP, but after careful consideration, Xiaoyun feels that letting everyone open their own Lily Eyes is actually more advantageous for Xiaoyun's writing style. It's better to use strengths and avoid weaknesses. In the final analysis, Lily is just Xiaoyun's.
Hobbies and life, and things like reasoning, imagination, and interesting world structures are the main strengths of Xiaoyun.
So all in all, in the sequel, Xiaoyun plans to implement the concept of "Lilies are not romantic" more deeply. Maybe this will also become part of the "value" in Xiaoyun's mouth, after all, there are really very few books written like this at present.
As for the image issue of supporting characters that has been criticized by many people, Xiaoyun will use a very wonderful method in the next book to evenly distribute the female supporting characters of various personalities. (The beloved Zhen Huiqi will not have ahem, this
This is really a pure girl group)
There are female devils who kill people for fun, there are living Bodhisattvas who dedicate themselves to the common people, there are sluts who do whatever they want, and there are also holy female knights who abide by the law and aspire to rule the world.
In reality, Xiaoyun himself believes in indulgence and unscaled freedom, and is very disgusted with many works that force the decisive and decisive protagonist to add a moral bottom line of his own or add a sad psychological journey to the villain Boss in order to make the characters three-dimensional.
That kind of rigidly delineating the author’s position. (Perhaps this is also the reason why Xiaoyun likes the three scumbags the most in online articles?)
However, it would be boring if the characters in his novel were all as flamboyant as Qu Yun and always taking the lead. So at least in terms of character design, Xiaoyun wanted to try to use an interesting setting to combine these completely opposite girls.
Gather together and let them fight for a common goal in love with each other.
As for the things Xiaoyun originally wanted to convey and care about... I'm sorry, it can't be modified for commercial needs or public taste.
Qu Yun will still be Yizi, the new heroine will still go her own way and be lawless, girls will still not like the opposite sex, the world under the Lamarckian system will still include all the Chinese and Western power systems, and there will even be chapters later in the article.
Some characters are more subtle and profound than this one...
The rest is something more interesting. As I said before, the Lamarck series will be a trilogy. The subsequent sequels will definitely cut into the story from an unexpected perspective, unfold in an unexpected way, and
Finally, a broad worldview with certain novelties is revealed.
After all, these things are the essence of why everyone likes Xiaoyun and is willing to read the book. Xiaoyun, who has always had a low self-esteem, dares to talk like this here, which shows that he still has a certain degree of confidence in the relevant plot. Please stay tuned, little cuties.
In terms of Xiaoyun's writing habits, a lot of things above seem a bit complicated. I wonder if you will get tired of reading them. But it doesn't matter. In fact, writing these is more about giving myself a summary and giving myself a summary of the past two years.
The main line of life is explained in one sentence.
I have already written some of the outline and characters of the new book, and I will start writing the text in the near future. But those who are familiar with Xiaoyun know that Lamarck Game started publishing after saving 500,000 yuan to save the manuscript, and the next book will not be published.
If unexpected, I might go to male science fiction. Considering the need for explosive update PK and subsequent academic thesis, music performance, etc., do you plan to save 700,000 to 800,000 yuan this time?
So we will meet in half a year at the earliest. But in the meantime, people are alive after all. If you want to find Xiaoyun, you can join the group at any time. You are also welcome to leave messages under this book. Xiaoyun will read and reply as always. And there will be various releases in the future.
Settings and extras eh.
Compared with the main text, many things mentioned here are very subjective. You can have different opinions, and you are welcome to leave a message to discuss. Above, I would like to thank every little cutie who has read this, and thank you for your persistence in not forgetting your original intention over the past two years.
Finally, I take the opportunity of finishing this book to make a wish, hoping that I can become cuter next year haha
