Until now, the most controversial question has been: "What is the real villain?"
Everyone has a villain in their own imagination.
I have always wanted to write a flesh-and-blood villain, but I found that some people still like to see mindless villains.
In my understanding, there are actually no villains and protagonists at all.
There are only winners and losers in this world.
The winner will portray himself as a great hero who saves the world, and the loser will be smeared as a villain who does all kinds of evil.
Because history is always written by the winners!
Why did I write this book?
Because I am used to seeing the protagonists in too many novels. They are always heroes, always stand on the moral high ground, and are always right no matter what they do.
They are so good that they have no shortcomings.
As for the villains, they are always so bad. They do all kinds of evil, murder and arson, and they have no good qualities at all.
I often wonder, are there really such perfect people in the world?
Are there really such bad people?
Black and white are never so clearly separated. The world is inherently black and white.
Everyone has another side of themselves that is unknown to everyone. Heroes also have shortcomings, and villains also have advantages.
The villain I want to write is like Xu Zimo, who can be despicable, unscrupulous, and renege on others.
But at the same time, he also has feelings and righteousness. He has his own parents, good brothers, and a girl he likes.
Many people will say, what kind of bullshit villain is this? He is obviously the prototype of the protagonist.
I especially want to know, is it true that only heroes can be compassionate and righteous?
Can’t villains be compassionate?
Aren’t villains human beings?
Don’t they have any emotions or desires?
Don't they have parents?
Don’t they have something they want to protect?
Don’t they have even the slightest bit of merit in them?
Why deny their entire lives?
Dye their entire world black without even a hint of white, and then use it to bring out the perfection of the protagonist?
They are human beings with flesh and blood and souls, not machines.
This is not the villain I want to write!
The villain some people want may be like this.
Xu Zimo is the most handsome boy in the sect, and he is followed by a large group of losers who mock the protagonist crazily and then engender hatred.
Then it was supposed to be the protagonist who was pretending to be a slap in the face, but in the end, it was reversed and the villain was pretending to be a slap in the face.
This kind of plot is the plot of a brainless villain.
I admit that there are some routines in this book, but it is not a complete routine.
I want to make every character flesh-and-blood and a real person.
Just like Xu Zimo, he will not deliberately do anything evil just to be a villain.
What he did was actually just following his heart.
When he is in a good mood, he can play the role of a great hero; when he is in a bad mood, he can even massacre everyone in an unrelated city.
He doesn't care about the world's perspective or the world's evaluation.
He has flesh and blood, he has things and people he wants to protect, and he is also ruthless and cunning. To outsiders, he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
He is not a hero, nor is he a murderous devil.
In fact, the word villain is originally determined by the winner, and even history is written by them.
What Xu Zimo has to do is to be a winner. As for the villain or the hero, it all depends on his mood!
Including the character Chu Yang, many people may not like it because he has been labeled a loser.
But I didn't deliberately discredit him. I even spent several chapters describing him.
Write about his strengths. He is an ordinary person from a small village. For the woman he loves, he works hard, persists, and overcomes all difficulties. He does not have a strong background, but when facing the Zhenwu Shengzong, he is still not timid, but wants to You have to work hard to become stronger.
These are all his advantages.
Even all his efforts and persistence eventually became vulnerable and ridiculous in the face of Xu Zimo's absolute strength.
But he is not without merit, his life is not only darkness, he also has things that people can learn from.
…………
Even for the character Baili Xiao, some people may think that she is like a bitch. She obviously likes Chu Yang, but she wants to agree to be Xu Zimo's fiancée.
Although he clearly enjoys the resources of the Zhenwu Holy Sect, he does not seem to be grateful. Instead, he uses this as his own springboard.
In the role of Baili Xiao, I brought some real-life helplessness.
She is just like you and me, unwilling to remain ordinary in a small village for the rest of her life.
She wants to be the best among people, just like we all want to be the best among people.
But a small village couldn't satisfy her wish at all.
She needs resources, connections and many things, so she is going to the Zhenwu Holy Sect.
But when she got these things in the Zhenwu Holy Sect, there was no free lunch in the world, her fate no longer belonged to her, and this was the price.
She wanted to be with Chu Yang. How could the Zhenwu Holy Sect let the saint they cultivated with so much effort marry a boy from a mountain village?
If she wants to control her own destiny, she must become stronger.
So she could only compromise. In order to get Xu Qingshan's help, she compromised and married Xu Zimo, and then used Xu Zimo to obtain more resources and make herself stronger.
Maybe this character is very selfish and like a bitch, but everything she does is just to become a superior person and be with the person she likes.
She can only use the Zhenwu Holy Sect. Without the help of the Zhenwu Holy Sect, she is nothing. She is just a little girl from an ordinary mountain village. She has no choice.
……………
Some book friends also left messages, saying that Xu Zimo was like a idiot, why didn't he just kill Chu Yang and keep him for what he was doing.
I also want to kill Chu Yang directly, but this is a novel. How can I write it if I kill him directly? How good is the ending?
…………
Some people may like it, and some people may not like it, but this is what I want to write.
You should all know that I am not making any money writing this book now. I have to lose money every month, and I have to pay 600 yuan to write it all the time.
So I sincerely hope that if you don't like this book, please click x.
I also sincerely hope that you can find your favorite villain novels, whether they are counter-conventional or dark novels.
In this novel, I will not deliberately discredit Chu Yang, the pseudo-protagonist, and then use it to set off Xu Zimo.
Nor would he deliberately kill people, set fire to others, and do all kinds of evil in order to make Xu Zimo look more like a villain.
Everyone has flesh and blood and a soul, winner or loser, this is what I want to express.
So, don’t ask me what a villain is. Except for those inhumane people, even bad guys have consciences.
To put it more clearly, what Xu Zimo wants to do is not a villain, but a winner, a winner who can write history.
I will not impose my views on you, and you should not refute my negative views.
For those who remain, I sincerely hope that I can write a novel that satisfies you and is worthy of your support.
For those who are leaving, we will meet again if we have green mountains and green waters.
