Finally the day has come for it to be finished. Let’s not talk about anything else. First of all, thank you to all the readers who have been subscribing.
Let’s first talk about why the book that was originally scheduled to end in early August ended today.
This is related to some things in my reality, both physical reasons and work reasons. Various reasons forced my update efficiency to decline sharply, and sacrificing my sleep time to update in the underworld became the norm.
Friends in the group should also know that I had a gastroscopy not long ago, and the reason for the gastroscopy was belching that lasted for a long time and stomach discomfort after eating.
Recuperation from gastritis requires a certain amount of time, and I had to make choices between work, recovery, writing, and rest, which also resulted in the ending being written today.
It’s not that I didn’t mean to get an extra month of perfect attendance. I stopped updating several times this month, and now I’m writing the ending before the end of the month. I can’t get perfect attendance at all. There’s no such thing as delaying the ending just for money.
...(dividing line)
I really didn’t expect that I would be able to finish the book completely for the first time, and it would have 3 million words.
Now, let’s start talking about the book The Fifth Heavenly King.
Many people complained at first that the title of the book looked like it was written casually by someone who didn't understand Pokémon and was living on full-time subsistence allowance.
I also didn’t expect that there would be five common-sense memes in The Four Heavenly Kings. I was so surprised that no one understood the memes, that I lost a lot of potential readers before I even started to spread out the content of the title.
reader.
Next is the opening content.
Some people say it's good, others say it's okay to read it in conjunction with the subsequent content, but the changes in the first few chapters are abrupt.
Personally, I feel that the writing is indeed wrong.
I wanted to express too much at the beginning, but the emotions I wanted to express were mixed together. The transition was not natural enough, and my emotions were not uplifting. Even if I was persuaded to quit, I felt it was reasonable.
But it’s my first time writing a novel. I don’t know what title should attract attention, what kind of chapter names are appropriate, how many words in a chapter should be appropriate, and how to arrange the content at the beginning.
The poisonous point is something I have never known, so I just wrote it down.
Some people are curious, Seal, why did you come up with the idea of writing a Pokémon fanfic?
This point is really related to the great battle between the sun and the moon.
After watching the battle between the sun and the moon, I felt angry. The warm tone of the whole sun and moon gave me a very good feeling. As for the final championship, I almost couldn't win it in one breath.
This novel appeared shortly after I finished writing Sun and Moon. I was so angry that I couldn't sleep. I got up in the middle of the night to outline and write the beginning. You can observe the publishing time, which was shortly after the end of Sun and Moon.
Why do I have to complain about this big battle between the sun and the moon? I have said it before, it is because the charity factor is too heavy.
I don’t deny that there are some tricks in the animation that cannot be understood by a gamer’s perspective. Game animations are different.
For example, Xiaozhi's famous stunt is to destroy the field and destroy the crystal, and the round shark eats the shadow punch.
I can convince myself that the bizarre settings in animation are reasonable, as long as you can cover them up with foreshadowing.
But what I saw was double reward for double reward.
It’s true that Xiaozhi won the championship, but I didn’t give him the championship in the whole process. You were all excited and angry everywhere, so Sun and Moon must find supplies for you, give you candies, and let you stop arguing.
The warm tone of the whole Sun and Moon did not pave the way for enough winning atmosphere, so that in the end it could not bear the extremely memorable moment of Xiaozhi winning the championship, making everyone feel that this was just a country pheasant water friends competition.
No matter what, the impulse really made me write something since middle school, but I didn’t dare to send it out. I just threw it in the corner of the computer and disappeared with the hard drive damaged. I took the first step.
This step is very difficult. A free chapter of a book is the best test of a person's character and endurance.
Because the beginning was not good, I received very little positive feedback. There were very few readers at that time. Many people who followed the book chose to repeatedly criticize the bad parts of my writing in the first few chapters, and then left the sentence "Shen Nong"
This is it, no need to look anymore, let’s go.”
I wrote silently, and when I looked through the chapters I encountered, many of them were outrageous.
For example, they told me that it was invalid due to the skill restraint effect.
Adulthood at the age of ten in animation, why did you go out at the age of twenty? Do you think it is appropriate?
Kadidog is Junsa's exclusive Pokémon. How could outsiders have it?
Eat Pokémon, you idiot. In that world, all people eat is synthetic meat. This kind of setting is not found in animated games and comics.
Another example is that they told me that Dr. Sakaki is the champion, but you wrote it wrong. Sakaki is so strong that he can kill people in seconds.
At this time, I discovered that readers’ perspective on Pokémon comes from the special chapters, games, and existing fans.
Based on these, it can be distinguished that they only played part of the game, only watched some of the special chapters, only watched 151, etc... So they all rushed to express some of the views they only knew in the free chapters, completely ignoring this
This book is an adaptation based on the animation world.
I made a mistake at this time. Because I cared too much about the opinions of these readers, I threw away the main line that should have been laid out for some time, resulting in Luther's first transformation being less than perfect.
At this time, a person appeared in my book review section who was chasing me and insulting me. He also kept digging for posts that he thought I had written poorly, so that he could fill the screen with questions about me.
At this time, I was not willing to use the ban authority, until he continued to insult me for five months, I couldn't bear it anymore and banned him.
Old readers should all know about this matter, and this is also the first time I know that someone can be so mysterious.
His comments lasted until the last chapter of the free chapter, and there was a limited exemption before being banned by me. He used the limited exemption to get to the latest chapter, and continued to write negative comments persistently.
What supports him is up to your imagination.
During this period of time, I didn’t have any positive feedback and my writing was very depressing.
I subscribed for more than 60 yuan at the beginning. When I first started writing a book, I didn’t know what the concept was. It wasn’t until I looked it up later that I realized that it was called fighting on the street. If I could write it down, I should cut it off and run away.
But I’m not afraid to cut it. What I think is that if I write like this, there are still 60 people who are willing to pay. Even if there are robots subscribing, there are still many readers who pay money.
When writing an article, it is good to say it is for a dream, but when you actually write it, who has not thought about making money?
Anyway, after knowing my subscription data, I wrote it purely to fulfill my dream of the Pokémon world.
The plot soon came to the Luoyu Town chapter. These chapters should be the turning point that saved me. Many silent readers paid to subscribe to this chapter and encouraged me.
To be honest, when I wrote Luoyu Town, I wanted to cry because I resonated with it, but I think that was just my own self-movement.
For a person who only writes for the works he loves, my psychological expectations are extremely low, so the rebound in subscriptions after Luoyu Town makes me feel incredible.
SE, it’s Niaoniao, don’t tell me you’re bored, JAZZ, Lucifer Chenxi, Shirley, CZ9978, these are the readers who have had the most profound influence on me during this period.
If you forget, please don't hit me!
How can I put it, because when no one interacted with me at all, posted chapters and gave me feedback, their serious discussion of the plot and a casual compliment made me fully motivated.
When I was hit by all kinds of negative feedback about this book and wanted to give it up again, the constant influx of readers and old readers encouraged me to continue writing.
This is also the reason why, as I said, this book almost ended at more than 200,000 words.
That’s why I want to thank you for your support to complete this book.
This is not a polite comment, positive feedback is really important for a new writer.
After getting enough positive feedback, I also jumped out of a misunderstanding.
This misunderstanding is also a mistake that countless authors who write Pokémon fan stories easily make.
Help GF fill the gap.
There are so many pitfalls in the work of Pokémon that it is impossible to explain all the unreasonable things in a precise manner.
Once you want to help the book-eating GF fill the hole...
It's over, you have to face one big setting pit after another. If you fill in one, there will be two. As you fill in, you will find that you care too much about rationality and the plot will explode.
GF himself doesn't understand it, and he doesn't want to touch the big pits, so he shouldn't fill them in, just skip them all.
It is not a setting that requires explanation, and will not be explained at all.
It must be explained, and it must be explained to the point. As long as it is reasonable enough and the plot is smooth, readers will not be too obsessed with these things that even GF cannot solve.
In other words, if you write something that makes readers obsessed with the setting, and don't care about the plot and writing style, then you will either have a bad plot, a bad writing style, or it will be too unreasonable and all of them will fail.
With a correct understanding, I can write better and better.
An episode happened at this time. A student party member read my novel through pirated copies, and then came to my comment area to make very radical remarks. After being banned by me, I found that he gave me a sixty slap in the face.
The reward of RMB 10,000 was higher than the subscription price of the entire book at that time.
Because I was angry, I immediately thought that he was expressing that I have money and I can afford genuine products.
His ban was immediately lifted and a Q group was established.
The goal I set for myself at that time was to open a Q group with one million words. Why was there such a rule? Because I felt that I had no fans. If I could write a few more after I wrote one million words, I would feel less lonely.
Because of this reader, I opened a Q group with about 880,000 words, and attracted a lot of old readers into the group. I also said that I would conduct a ROLL award, and ROLL all the money from his reward to let them
Support genuine version.
I also posted more than 200 to increase the number of winners.
This post can still be found in the book review area. Those who won the prize were basically my earliest readers.
After I made this decision, I was surprised to find that this student reader immediately blocked his updates and changed his signature to someone who likes to read books. Because he is a student, he can only read pirated copies. I hope to be forgiven.
After the ban was lifted, he said that he did not intend to read piracy, but was just a student gang. He had no money and had not started working, so he could not support the book.
He liked the book very much, but the tone of his comments was not very good, which escalated the conflict.
As an author, I had mixed feelings in my heart at that time.
We won’t say much more about whether piracy is right or not, and my position cannot be on the opposite side.
In this world, if we could only distinguish between right and wrong, it would be too simple.
When a student party gave me a reward that was probably a week's living expenses, I immediately offered to return the money. However, the student party refused and never spoke again.
Today is the end of this book. If you are reading it and still say the same thing, come join the group and I will return the 60 to you and use it to support the genuine editions of other authors.
It’s not easy for a small author, and it’s the same for a small author who writes about Pokémon.
TPC behaves like a monster every day, GF is indifferent, enthusiasm fades away, and free chapters are easily interpreted by fans of animation, comics, and games. Misunderstandings lead to criticism, and many people drown before they even support it on the shelves.
If you are able to support, please support them.
For those who are incompetent, please be tolerant to them and don't be too harsh.
After the climax of the Lily of the Valley Conference, I finally ushered in a relatively friendly feedback environment. Most of the book friends who came for the limited exemption were friendly bookworms who read the book if they liked it and left if they didn't. They didn't leave any negative feedback for me.
My group of friends complained all day long that I didn’t let them go around and felt that I was too autistic and cautious.
At first I said that if they wrote 1 million words, they would go to Amway. Later I said, if they wrote 2 million words, they would go to Amway.
Now that the 3 million words have been completed...what else can I do to benefit from it? That's it.
Click in and you can see what's behind, it all depends on fate.
If you go to Amway everywhere and see too much, wouldn’t it make other readers and fans unhappy?
As I said again, don’t take comfort, just let everything happen, and that’s it.
By the way, I would like to mention the readers who are particularly grateful in the middle and late stages of writing... That is of course all readers. Every subscription at this stage is an affirmation of my writing the story.
Of course, I would also like to express my special gratitude to the top twenty people on my fan list.
It was okay up to the sixth place, but why has it been so silent since the fifth place? I haven't seen it in the chapters at all... I don't know if it's over yet, will it come out to have some fun?
-----(dividing line)
I already have two ideas about what to write in my next book.
One is about stories that happen in other worlds in the Arceus universe, which are completely different, so that some of the foreshadowings left by this book can be connected together.
These foreshadowings can be used as hints for the extra story as well as for this book.
The other one is purely original, a novel that I had conceived a long time ago but was abandoned time and time again.
I'm still thinking about it and may take a short break for a few days before making a decision.
I am grateful to every reader who has patiently read what I wrote. Luther's journey has come to an end for the time being. We have witnessed him growing up along the way and pursuing everything in his ideal place.
Now, it's time for him to take a rest.
At the end of the novel, when everyone is yearning for the dreamlike world of Pokémon.
I discovered that each of us has an island within us.
I hope TPC and GF will stop messing around and let us Pokémon fans rekindle the passion in our hearts.
