Chapter 475, nine months of updates. The second volume of this book [The Book of Heavenly Cars] has finally come to an end.
This also marks that the player's book has officially reached two-thirds of the way through.
As Annan breaks through his six mirrors one by one and finds the light in the mirror, the real light of the sky is about to hatch.
To put it simply, in the next volume Annan should complete the sublimation ceremony.
A little warning, the third volume should be slightly shorter than the second volume. In other words, if you start writing it in mid-March, you should be able to finish it before the Spring Festival.
The next book has already taken shape, and my friends all say they give it a thumbs up (thumbs up)
However, after writing this book, Ah Mao will definitely not publish the new book immediately. Instead, he will take a short break, adjust his work and rest, and exercise (presumably it will be difficult to save the manuscript). But it will definitely not be later than March next year.
At the end of the month.
There are still nine months left for this book. It may be less than nine months, or it may be a little more. It mainly depends on whether there is a sudden inspiration, and I suddenly feel that a certain nightmare is so awesome that I have to write it even if I add some stuff.
If you encounter this situation, it is inevitable to add a small amount.
After all, you must also like to watch it (sincerely).
The main stage of the next volume is the United Kingdom and Theocracy, as well as a small amount of otherworldly plots.
By the way, yesterday I saw someone saying that this book is relatively bland...that's natural.
Because the initial positioning of this book (or all of Qi Miaomiao's original world view works) is based on the concept of "travel notes in a magical world". All my books so far are based on the concept of "setting"
The main axis, with "little stories" as its flesh and blood, rationalizes a novel worldview in a logical style.
Compared to mercury blood, which was quite blunt back then, now I have mastered the skill of inserting plot into the setting process...
The reason for using this way of writing is that Ah Mao is very passionate. When I read the book, I felt that the ups and downs of the climax would be so great that if I couldn't finish it in one go, I would be stuck for several days.
It’s particularly uncomfortable if I don’t get it down…
But I believe that I shouldn’t be able to update it (akimbo).
Moreover, the subjects of my books are all types that cannot be updated. If I accidentally update too much, some strange bugs may appear.
Of course, this can also be regarded as a kind of self-pleasure, and it is not so market-oriented.
However, I have been focusing on writing self-pleasure articles for six or seven years, and I can still write well and make money, so I think there is no problem in continuing this self-pleasure road.
When readers get tired of the same old fish and meat, they will come back and take a bite of a cucumber with a novel flavor. Occasionally, they will feel refreshed.
On another note, I still remember that some readers often mentioned why there are so few plots about players.
Part of the reason is that I already said in my remarks during the first volume that it would be very easy for the player to have too many storylines. In that case, it would actually be a comedy, and Ah Mao’s character is too serious. I really want to write that kind of story, but
Can't write...
About four or five months before this book was published, when I had a dinner with other authors, the definition of the player element in this book was "adjustment". The Mist Continent is actually similar to Mercury's Farnes World.
Despair style, if the players are removed, can indeed make the plot smoother or more exciting, but the readability will undoubtedly be reduced a lot.
The role of the player in this book is to pull readers out of the world just when they are about to sink into it.
This is a technique I heard from Uncle Shu when I was chatting with him before. How to tell a tragedy calmly without making the reader sad?
The answer is to maintain a stage distance so that readers can always be aware that "that is a story far away from them" without being immersed in it.
If it is a tragedy that is too close to home, such as a tragedy that happens around oneself, with relatives and friends playing the leading roles, it will make people unable to help but feel sad. A drama about a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law with a short life, in fact,
It is this effect that is used to "grasp the heart".
But I don't really like the kind of plot that makes people feel sad after watching it.
Storytelling, singing and acting are good ways to persuade people. This is the philosophy I have held since I typed the first word in Word in 2013. Even if I don’t understand any profound truths when I read the book, when I reflect on it, I can
"As if I understood something" in a flash.
The heavy and solemn tragedy does have its artistic value, and it is very high. However, when the readers opened this book with the attitude of "I want to read it for a relaxing and enjoyable time", they were overwhelmed by the heavy despair and couldn't breathe.
I think this is also a kind of fraud.
Therefore, the reading experience must be considered.
When I was in the mercury period, I really liked haircutting. But the more I wrote, the more constrained I became, and I didn’t dare to do it. This is exactly why I did it.
There were some characters that I originally wanted to kill, but considering the reading experience and the readers' accumulated feelings for the characters, I couldn't bear to do it. In the end, I had to create a new plot and make them invisible, which somewhat saved a life.
A strange metaphor... It's like beating a pet to death in front of its owner. I think that when you kill an important character that the reader "loves" from the bottom of his heart, the psychological impact that the reader feels is probably similar to this level.
He is heavier than a device, but lighter than a person. But he can be remembered after all.
Maybe it's the remaining tenderness in the cat's heart...
Finally, there have been a lot of people asking these questions in the past few days. I would like to reiterate that the fandom attitude of this book is that it is welcome!
After all, I am a fan myself. Whether it is fan art or fan fiction, as long as it does not violate relevant laws and regulations, it is welcome here. As long as it is not for commercial profit and the source is stated, there is no need to specifically ask for my opinion. Asking is welcome.
After the player book is finished, if someone wants to use the player's worldview to directly write a fanfic and put it on the shelves at the starting point, as long as the source is indicated, I won't mind. The reason why I want to finish the book is because I don't want to explain the settings that have not yet been published.
, but I don’t want to see you get slapped in the face by me...
It’s time to code. Finally, the concluding words of this volume.
The appearance of the "Book of Heavenly Cars" marks the opening of the door to the light world again.
The next volume, the last volume is, [The Expedition to Seize the Sky].
