In the closing remarks of "The Best in the World", I originally wanted to say this sentence, and then say something like "I hope everyone is looking forward to the new book" and call it a day.
But after thinking about it again, I decided to say something.
After all, every time I write a book, I am usually busy trying to count the words, and I don’t have many opportunities to talk to everyone.
When writing this book, I set two goals for myself.
First, use the third person throughout.
Second, there are no comments in the whole process.
Let me talk about the first point first. As everyone knows, I have always written in the first person, but gradually I realized that the first person is very limited. Many things cannot be described clearly and have to be explained after the fact, which wastes many chapters and words.
When I first wrote this book, I was really uncomfortable. Some readers, including some, said that it felt like I was still writing in the first person, just replacing "I" with "Chen Dong."
Later on, I should be much better and know how to write the third person.
The second point is that starting from Who Will Fight, to The Young King, The Dragon Raises Its Head, I have to turn off the comments halfway through writing, because some readers scolded me so harshly that I couldn’t bear to watch them.
When I was writing this book, I swore that I would not care about the comments. After all, the comments are also part of the novel. No matter how bad people scold me, I would not care about the comments!
Fortunately, I did both of these things.
Of course, this book belongs to this book, and there is no guarantee that the next book will do the same.
Now, let’s talk about the book “The Best in the World”.
Alas, it’s really hard to describe in words.
I think 80% to 90% of readers should approve of the first half of this book, which is also the plot that I am best at and best at. But later on, due to well-known reasons, I had to jump out of the earth and start writing about what I am not good at.
something.
At the beginning, I was full of confidence, thinking that if others could write, I could too.
I searched for some "fantasy novel" settings on the Internet, such as weapons, martial arts, magic weapons, etc., and started working on it excitedly.
At first I thought it was okay and not that difficult, but as I went on it became more and more difficult. The main difficulty was the map. I seemed to have written it too big, and I had created so many galaxies in one go. How had I ever written this before? It’s true.
It was so strenuous.
Several times, I woke up in the middle of the night and questioned myself, how could I write about people so high that they fly into the sky?
This is too ridiculous, too ridiculous!
I know that in other books, it is not uncommon for the protagonist to fly, but this is really my first time writing it, and I was completely confused when I wrote it.
But there is no other way. Since I have laid out such a big world view, and there are so many readers following and waiting, I have to bite the bullet and finish it! In order to fill my own pit, I have racked my brains to think about it.
This is the world I created, and I have to write it down no matter what, so I can give you a final explanation!
Of course, pain is pain, and it is not completely without gain.
This is also the first time I know that novels can be written in this way, and my thinking can be so out of the ordinary. Regardless of whether the writing is good or not, it seems to have given me a new direction.
As long as you dare to think, there is nothing you can't write.
Still the same sentence: In competitive games, being bad is the original sin; in online novels, not being good-looking is the original sin.
As long as it is well-written, no matter what the subject matter, readers will definitely applaud it.
For this goal, I am willing to work hard throughout my life.
Regarding the new book, I have two directions now.
One is purely urban and doesn’t go outside. However, there are too many prohibitions and it’s very uncomfortable to be rejected by editors. If I can find a balance between urban and prohibited, I can give it a try.
One kind is the kind of writing with a very imaginative imagination. There is nothing that cannot be written, only the unexpected, and all kinds of supernatural powers are filled in it, creating a magnificent fantasy world. Writing this kind of writing makes it easier to review, and editors generally do not
It will be difficult.
At present, these two kinds of writing have already begun, but they are also difficult.
I haven't decided which one I should write about either.
I'd also like to think about it carefully.
I also want to hear your suggestions, which type do you want to watch?
In short, "The Best in the World" is here to say goodbye to everyone. Thank you for your company over the past year. Regardless of the criticism or praise, I accept it with an open mind.
Next, I may take a longer break, and try to come up with what I want to write within three months, and then meet with you.
When a new book is released, it will be announced simultaneously on QQ Space, Sina Weibo, and WeChat public accounts, so those who haven’t paid attention should follow it.

In these three places, I will share my life from time to time, as well as the progress and ideas of new books, etc. Everyone must pay attention.
