: Concluding remarks
End of testimonials
It’s over, it’s over. I’m feeling like I’ve been in the two-year class, and I’m finally going to have a long vacation. If it’s not for everyone who is waiting, I really want to unload the writer’s assistant directly. Rest until next year in one breath.
Then, let me think about how to write this testimonial...Where to write it.
First is the beginning of this book. I have talked about this many times. At first, it was bad money, and then I went back to Barabara.
Well, in fact, this experience is really bumpy. I have to say that this book has survived until now. I sincerely thank those old buddies who raised their hands when the book was about to die.
For example, Fengyue, Du Ting Cup, Andis Morrowind, Half-Buddha Immortal, Red Halberd, Stellar... Sorry), and my former editor Dan Qing, and my current editor Dragonfly, as well as the leaders, and readers.
(By the way, thank you again. The Silver League leader Dimo Kogan at the end of this book, and the blooming blood blossoms of the leader, will feel like receiving the leader when it is over. It is quite a joy to eat and go on the road.)
Without the crowdfunding of everyone to write a book, and help me pick wrong words in chapters, maybe this book really fell apart.
(There is a comment about the typo. For a time, my roommate thought I was illiterate and doubted the entire online literature industry. Here, I am really sorry.)
After the thank you session, let’s talk about some of the problems in this book.
I always want to write something different, and then try to get some tricks for each roll, but everyone should know that to create innovative dishes, you always take a risk, just say, today Kaifeng cuisine has a donkey meat fire. , In case it is awful to make, it will inevitably hurt the hearts of customers.
Some of the previous testimonials have been written, so I won’t repeat them here, and I will talk about some that I have not said before.
Many readers have mentioned this view. The first three volumes of this book and the subsequent stories have different styles.
This is to be admitted, and this difference stems from my attempted bad money. The outline of the beginning of the book, a bunch of messy things, are all made up temporarily. In order to finish this book well, it is necessary. Pay the price for the pits I dug.
So when I realized this in the second volume, I began to try to fix it to make the worldview of this book as smooth as possible.
So in the third volume, I will make a collection of all the previous foreshadowings, clarify the identity of the protagonist, and then gradually lead to the next main line.
The fourth volume is a link between the previous and the next, as a transitional use, and then the last three volumes are entirely to solve the emergence of this main thread.
In order not to crash, I gave up the behaviors such as opening the map, and only focused on the existing story, and finished it smoothly.
So this book can actually be seen as two parts, the first three volumes and the last three volumes.
The first three volumes are more like prequels written for the purpose of writing the last three volumes. Mainly, I like to write prequels, and there is always a sense of grandeur that a storm is approaching.
Therefore, there is a certain difference in style, but there is no way.
When I write a book, it feels like,
You just signed up for a variety show of Survival in the Wild. It was meant to mix the food provided by the show group. After eating and drinking enough, you just gave up the challenge and went back home, but after you had enough food and drink, you found that the show group gave Your satellite phone is broken. You don't have any resources in this wilderness. It will take three full months to live here before someone will pick you up. It feels like.
In order to survive these three months, you have to clean up the mess you did in just three minutes.
so.
But it’s okay. After all, not every author can enjoy the experience of writing a book like this.
Tear eyes.
I also think that writing a book is a process where you can clearly feel your own changes. For example, if everyone pays attention, you will be surprised to find that in the first two volumes of this book, I did not distinguish between them. They are in the subsequent updates. , I gradually discovered these problems and corrected them.
Speaking of the ending, in fact, I think this ending is quite plain. I think everyone should think so too.
I think the main reason is that I can’t go beyond the expectations of your readers. This is the last volume, and the closing volume is different from the previous ones.
In the previous volumes, I can add a lot of fancy flowers, with different themes, but the last volume is a summary volume. After all the foreshadowings have been revealed, all the preparations have been worked out, and the last volume It's actually a story of the Dragon Quest.
Like StarCraft, after exploding the population, f2a is just fine without any extra operations.
In the last volume, everything is clearly written. The protagonist will go through the final boss. No matter how I write it, I can’t get out of this frame.
When everyone has such expectations, the plot is obvious, everyone can guess the direction, no matter how climax and thrilling, it is just a waste of pen power to complicate a doomed thing.
Of course, the other way is, the brave man dies, the brave man turns into an evil dragon, etc., bad ending.
In fact, my early thoughts were bad endings, but in the follow-up time, I looked at my records. This "time to change my mind" was 11:37 am on March 8, 2021.
I have some strange hobbies, such as recording the time at a moment when my thoughts change.
In short, after this, my personal thinking changed again. You can see this from Oscar's lines. Many times, I use this role to express my feelings when writing.
I thought the bad ending was cool at first, but then I suddenly realized that I wrote this book for 2 years, 300w words, and I wrote it for so long, just for a bad ending, whether for myself or for the reader, this way I think it is too cruel to do.
The readers stayed with us day and night, only to see the ending of a character's death.
The reality is so bad, in the illusory world, still like this, I feel bad, so since then, I decided to write a good ending.
Started to make adjustments from the previous few volumes, and adjusted the direction of the story to a promising direction.
Why hurt the reader? right.
So the last volume is very simple and very king. It is to say goodbye to each other and move towards their own ending.
Some people may think that the sad ending is also good, and I can understand it, but this, how to say it, at least good, at least good.
but!
I am such a person who knows how to clean up. The last volume is not clean, and I always feel that something is wrong, so I think it's better to enrich the character's heart.
For example, the protagonist finally walks out of the pain and accepts the departure of the character calmly. For example, the villain has completed his idea and died contentedly.
In fact, many times, I write emotions. I think I am very restrained. Many emotions are replaced by dialogues, and direct expressions are restrained as much as possible.
Of course, it may also be related to me without a girlfriend, so I always write that, regardless of men and women, everyone will become good brothers together.
Then, this is the last volume. Take the characters who can dig deeper, dig deeper, and let them make their final contribution.
By the way, by the way, I actually really like the character of Lawrence. I have always wanted to create an interesting villain, and part of the prototype of Lawrence comes from Macbeth, but it is a little different from Macbeth.
In the story, Macbeth obeyed his fate until his death. Lawrence did the same, obeyed his fate stubbornly, but resisted at the last moment.
Fate, a grand and mysterious theme.
Step into a desperate situation and break it. Only in this way can one consider the value of a person.
The story I want to write is a process of constant resistance. There is little hope, but I should try it.
Now that I have to mention "Legend of Sword Wind", thanks to Kentaro Miura for the story.
For the admiration of this work, many people have written about it, so I won’t be too nonsense.
There is also Hirasawa Jin’s "sign-3". I think the series of variations of sign are very good. I have spent a long time with codewords.
Then talk about the ending.
Ending.
The ending is very ceremonial to me. As a newcomer who is a newcomer to the Internet, I think that a person may be able to write a few books and write a few "ends" in his life.
I think the ending is very heavy for web authors. Therefore, I like to read the conclusions of other authors, but unfortunately, many people don’t write very much, or scribble a few sentences, which leads to I'm a long-winded discussion like this, and it seems a bit out of sync.
The feeling of writing the ending is wonderful. It’s a matter of gains and losses. On the one hand, you can finally end this story and move towards a new one. On the other hand, you will say goodbye to everything you are used to and start again.
Just as written in the story, a new beginning.
Leaving the comfort zone is always disturbing, and so am I.
No more thinking about Lorenzo Holmes’ bizarre adventure, no need to think about what to write tomorrow.
There is a kind of black bear that has stayed in the zoo for most of his life. After being released back to nature, looking at the forests in the mountains, I was a little panic and a little confused.
But people always move forward, and so is the story.
The story of Lorenzo and his friends ends here. No matter how much you write, it just makes the original story more bloated.
But farewell is also quite sad, which reminds me of my university graduation. I often tell my roommate that I feel like I haven’t studied at university. My roommate looked at my attendance sheet and said that I hadn’t. Normally, the new teacher didn't know that there was such a number one in the class, let alone the sadness of graduation.
But this is really melancholy, and it reminds me that the first time I saw an animation from the beginning to the end in junior high school, I didn’t know whether it was young or sensual. The feeling of sorrow was very bad, and it made me think that I didn't want to continue to "read the story".
After all, if there is no beginning, there will be no end.
But it always needs to start, it always needs to end.
[On the other hand, this book is indeed considered as the first novel I officially finished. It can be said that I stepped on a lot of pits and made a lot of mistakes.
Such as slow heat, flat eating, emotional dramas that are obviously written by single dogs, Barabara, and many other shortcomings that I haven’t thought of yet.
As a newcomer, I really admit these mistakes and the criticisms they bring. Therefore, accept it with an open mind. As for whether I will never repent, I only know.
I can only say that within the scope of my ability, in the future writing career, I will continue to write better. 】
However, I am quite satisfied with this book. At least I am above the pass line. All the holes are basically filled in cleanly, and each character has followed his own trajectory.
Then talk about myself.
This book can be regarded as a divergence in my life. Before this book, I was an aspiring young man who was studying 3D generalization and determined to join the game industry, but now I have become an uncut codewriter who lives at home.
Just...the contrast is quite big, right?
But reality is usually illogical, it really just happened like this.
During the serialization of this book, I moved from a rough concrete room to a new home with a floor, where people can live. The sleeping environment has also changed from a living room to a room of my own.
After I graduated with almost no feeling, and moved again, my new home still has a living room this time, I can sit on the sofa and watch movies, and even the bathroom is separated from wet and dry.
I also met a lot of wonderful new friends during the serialization of this book, and always opened the door to a new world for me in some wonderful places.
Sometimes looking back, it is a little hard to imagine, all this is found in the time of a book serialization.
Life is really amazing.
Of course, sometimes this thing is like obsession, and sometimes I really want to see if it can return to the game industry.
Tear eyes.
Then my outlook on life.
I have always felt that my outlook on life is somewhat strange. For example, it is difficult for me to imagine what I am 30 years old. When I think of that age and the subsequent, unknowable everything, I will be panicked, and then anxiety.
So in my cognition, my life is like going straight to the soil until I reach 30 years old.
Then count it, I still have about seven years.
As soon as I think of these, I become very anxious, become very urgent, want to write more words, do more things, unfortunately, in reality, I can not do this, and the anxiety continues to increase.
Contradictions and conflicts, too high expectations, and dry reality, it is very helpless.
For example, the double opening I mentioned before.
Fortunately, this anxiety has been relieved a lot now. I am indulged in the fight in Summoner's Canyon, and I am obsessed with the exchange of blood and the game of the top lane.
But sometimes, I still feel that I can do more.
Of course, in another way of describing it, I am the king of scroll kings with a lifespan of 7 years. In order to spread the afterglow in the only time, I can only use the scroll.
Sometimes I feel that if I enter a certain Internet 996 sweatshop, I must be an excellent king of scrolls!
But the extremes of things must be reversed, and sometimes I suspect that if I roll too hard, maybe I will become the king of bad luck.
Then it’s about the arrangements for the next issues. After the book is over, I will take a break for a while. During this time, I should write some extras. It’s not clear what to write. Everyone can make comments. Of course, I will be the target. Except for.
The painter can't paint something he hasn't seen before, and so is the author, right, right, right.
Thank you for leaving a comment on this line.
The new book is almost ready. This time I will try a power system that I have never tried before. Of course, because of the reason I like to work, the power system this time will be very wonderful. The difference.
The first three volumes of the new book have been conceived, because this time there is enough time and enough reader base to let me do this, so the following book should be more inclined to the traditional compact story.
Probably... the fantasy version of the urban ability? Intrigue super power werewolf kill?
Then the release time of the new book has also been preliminarily set, January 1 next year.
As for the middle time, I will go out to collect materials, and then have a minor operation to cut off the **** tophi.
My friend suggested that I go to Lu Xun College of Literature. I am a good learner. Although I don’t really go to school, I should focus on practicing for a while according to the structure of the article and make myself more like a novelist. It's not a wild road that didn't know where to jump out.
Do a job, love a job, right?
Then it is, "Do more."
Friends who follow my official account should have read an article like "Cyberman", which roughly describes the serial career that I will prepare later.
After I prepare a long story, I try a short story and then a long story like this. That is to say, after the next long story is over, I start writing a short story and then a long story, like this.
I understand the arrangements for myself. As for what it can be implemented, I don’t know.
Actually, I had imagined how I would finish writing my testimonials countless times before, and I have a lot to say, but when it comes to the day when I have finished writing the testimonials, I feel that I have nothing to write.
But I still feel that some things must be written.
Like what the story is.
In fact, for readers, this book is just a passing visitor in your reading career. After a few years, or even more than ten years, few people may know that this book has existed.
sounds a bit sad, but it is true.
But I also think that a story has the ability to freeze time. In a not-so-distant future, you have already blurred everything about the past, but because of a certain story, you think of another familiar thing.
For example, a few years later, you suddenly remembered that when you were reading this book, your phone hit your face, and then you remembered yourself when you read this book, the people and things around you...
I think this is pretty good, right?
leaves a little mark. Although it is very shallow, it is also a proof of existence. I think for creators, this is the highest praise.
So, no more nonsense, the story of "Embers of Cinders" ends here, and after I am going to post this thought, I will take a good break from the meeting, fight the piled up mountains, and play a dozen games. This Once there is no "daily update" chasing me, I think I will live very easily.
Fan or something, when I have enough rest, I will come back to write.
Finally, goodbye to the new story.
Get off work! ! !
