Summary At The End Of The Volume (Volume 2 Will Be Officially Updated Tomorrow)
This chapter is the summary of this volume. It has been previewed in advance. If you don’t want to read it and want to go straight to the next chapter, you can skip it. (provided there is a next chapter)
Again, this is the summary of this volume anyway, so I am quite chatty. I may talk a lot of words, most of which are just the author’s random thoughts.
After all, it doesn’t affect the main plot, and there’s no point in saying whether it’s good or bad. If you feel it’s bad, just click on the next chapter to skip, and it won’t make the overall plot inconsistent. Tomato’s specific calculation is based on the reading time. Even if I write a million words, as long as you don’t want to read it and just skip it, I won’t be able to make that much money.
As for the money I can make after reading these words... I really can't make much money from this chapter. I have also calculated that 24,000 words are only one penny. The main reason is that I was so nervous after writing it for so long.
The first is an overall summary of the first volume.
I divided the summary into several parts. The first part is about the character design. In the character design chapter, I will focus on answering the journey of each character, the readers’ evaluation of them, the original intention of the design, and why it is designed this way.
[Summary at the end of Volume 1—Character]
What I want to write in the first volume is a journey of growth.
The Brave One is a serious newbie, Bai Lu is a mild newbie, and Leng Qingying is the kind of powerful "newcomer"
The Brave Warrior has grown from a pure and cute newbie who can't even learn skills, can't even read the health bar, and can only be called an idiot by Bai Lu at the beginning, to a warrior who can stand on his own. His growth span is the largest.
Bailu, on the other hand, learned to break away from her brother, make her own decisions, and seize her own opportunities. Her route mainly lies in independence, and she also changed from a player who only knows how to lose skills to a truly knowledgeable sage (witch)
Leng Qingying is a high-level player in the early stage, and can be regarded as a transitional candidate to support the two newbies in the early stage. Otherwise, Lu Cang would have to drag three newbies on the road, which would be a hellish start.
Leng Qingying can be regarded as the second leader of the brave and fearless. Compared with the unattainable peak like Lu Cang, Leng Qingying can be regarded as a more normal strong person. It also gives the brave and the fearless a benchmark to compare to, and gives the brave and the fearless a benchmark. Compare how far you have progressed.
While serving as a guide, Leng Qingying also climbed to higher peaks on her own.
At the same time, Leng Qingying is also a projection of Lu Cang's previous life. She is also an assassin. In Leng Qingying's body, the shadow of growth like Lu Cang's first and second lives will occasionally reappear.
Different characters also have their own unique positions in fighting and functioning.
And I try to separate the various positionings.
Regardless of Lu Cang's words, the main C's output is naturally Brave and Fearless, and Lonely and Clear, which are representatives of frontal combat and explosive output respectively.
Deputy C is Bailu, Xiumi.
If further broken down, Xiumi's more responsibilities are in detection, search, reconnaissance, ultra-long-range strikes, critical strikes, and long-range support.
I hope Xiu Mi can play more than just a DPS role. In fact, the team's DPS is already sufficient.
I hope that she will not play a role in frontal combat, but that she will play a role like Usopp, the pirate king, who can turn the tide of the battle at a critical moment.
Of course, in addition to this, there are also detection effects. Detection skills will be a crucial part, which determines whether hidden enemies can be discovered and dangers that cannot be seen normally.
And with the emergence of higher-level races, there will be more and more enemies that cannot be directly seen and directly attacked, and the importance of Xiumi will be increasingly reflected.
In addition to output, I think her role in the team is also the "eyes"
In the design, there will be "people" joining the guild in the future. As for other situations, I won't spoil it too much.
When I was designing, I designed some flaws for everyone in the guild.
Of course, this was also disliked by many readers.
For example, some people scolded the brave man for being fearless and cowardly, some scolded Bailu for being uneducated, some scolded Leng Qingying for chasing down the protagonist's teammates, and the protagonist even pulled her into the team, and some thought that Xiumi was unwilling to join the protagonist's guild, and they had issues with the protagonist. Hateful.
In fact, as an author, I also know that these may be annoying to some readers when I write.
And it can actually be changed, but in the end I still wrote it this way.
I hope these characters have their own unique characteristics. I don’t want to be a perfect character template, a character who only praises the protagonist’s bad feet and purely praises 666.
I think that for a character to become sufficiently three-dimensional and full-bodied, she cannot be just one-sided, and cannot only have advantages, but only lovable aspects.
They should have some flaws.
In fact, I was writing the plot of the first encounter with Leng Qingying.
I have been pondering over and over again whether I should write it this way or not.
Lu Cang took the initiative to invite Leng Qingying to join the guild. Doesn't this seem to be a bit of a downgrade?
Especially after she hunted down the Brave and Valiant, the protagonist invited her to join the guild.
In fact, if we follow the popular pattern of Internet articles, a certain incident should have happened, which made Leng Qingying actively want to join the protagonist's guild, and even begged to join the protagonist's guild. The protagonist considered her useful, so he took her in, and Non-protagonists take the initiative to invite.
And she shouldn't appear as an "enemy" camp at the beginning.
In fact, I think it's a bit morbid if you follow the rules of the public on the Internet. For example, if you are a woman, you will be punished. If you offend anyone, you will kill them all. The way to death is not just talking about it. It is indeed the case in Internet articles. The logic is in it.
But I still designed it this way.
In the end, I didn’t want to destroy Leng Qingying’s own character, so there was a plot where the protagonist actively invited Leng Qingying to join the guild.
I don't think this caused much character damage to the protagonist.
But if Leng Qingying begs Lu Cang to let her join the guild, then her character is really broken.
Leng Qingying is a person with a complicated and tangled personality, but she is crisp and clear in her actions. What she thinks in her mind is different from what she actually says, and what she plays the role is different from what she really thinks in her heart.
It is difficult to write this well. It is far more difficult to write a complex and contradictory character than to create a simple character.
But why should I write such a complicated character? The answer is simply: I want to.
As for what kind of person Leng Qingying is like outside the game, I will slowly enrich her when I have the opportunity in the future.
At the same time, I don’t want Lu Cang to be a petty person.
He is not someone who ignores the overall situation just because of a little quarrel or a trivial incident.
[Those who achieve great things should have enough mind and fortitude and not get angry over trivial matters. Lu Cang's most characteristic character should be calmness.
A person with true leadership qualities knows how to turn enemies into friends and know how to employ people. There are many leaders who have used famous enemy generals in history. As a fourth-generation reborn Lu Cang, he naturally has to have corresponding courage. (emphasis)]
When I was writing this book, I had already decided to let certain characters have some shortcomings, and I also planned to let him gradually overcome these shortcomings and form a growth process in his character.
Among them, the brave man is the most obvious example, and his character growth path is very clear.
There are also many people who say that Xiumi is a foreign race and has hatred between the human race and that it should not be included in the guild. It is unreasonable.
I personally think that I have written the motivation very clearly and strongly.
The first is the culture of the orcs: respect for strength, and the greatest worship of strength.
Xiumi's character: He doesn't want to care about the affairs of the orcs, and is very indifferent to the development of the orcs. As long as the orcs are not completely wiped out, the weak should be eliminated, and they deserve to be eliminated.
In terms of interests: it is a win-win situation for both parties, otherwise it is a lose-lose situation.
It was also said that the protagonist went to help Xiumi create a dungeon...
How can I beat the dungeon without repairing rice? Her ability is a must! If Xiumi didn't hit the Devouring Sky Shadow, wouldn't the group be wiped out directly? The team does not have the ability to attack points remotely.
Hatred is not everything. The characters in the book are all adults and can see the exchange of interests.
And if Xiumi doesn't join the guild, won't the relationship between the orcs and humans become very stiff?
The genius of the human race is so strong, and the development momentum of the human race is so fierce. Isn't Xiumi not only losing his own interests by not joining the guild, but also creating a terrible enemy for the orcs? Isn't this pure stupidity?
There are some situations that I have anticipated but still decided to arrange them this way. I will not arrange the characters purely according to the readers' temporary preferences. I have my own considerations.
Of course, not all situations can be expected. There are some situations that I really expected. For example, a reader was very disgusted with Xiumi adding the word "meow" at the end of his sentence.
Different characters and different readers have their own opinions.
As an author, what I need to say is:
For every character, there are readers who like him, and for every character, there are readers who don't like him. Unless I don't write a single character, then when I write this character, he is destined to be imperfect.
Even if you put it in the real world, you can't find a character who has not been criticized at all.
No matter how great the great men are, they can only say that those who criticize them are deserving of punishment, but can they say that they have never been evaluated, criticized or criticized?
There must always be.
This is true of reality, and this is true of saints, let alone characters in novels.
I will refer to most of the readers' suggestions, but rarely disrupt my own design. At most, I will make some fine-tuning.
What I have to do is to write the story I want to say according to my own conception. As for how it will turn out after it is written, that will be judged by future generations.
----------------------------------------
[Summary at the end of Volume 1 - Plot]
This article mainly talks about some plot matters, what references are there in the plot, why there is such a plot, why you want to design it this way, and respond to some readers’ comments on certain plots.
1. Plot reference - many people say that I refer to the full-time X-fighter, but in fact, I think I refer more to One Piece, the third volume of Mystery, and the early stage of Daogui. The main reference is more about the layout and structure. . (If there is any copyright issue, I will delete this sentence immediately)
What these all have in common is a location-driven plot design, from island to island, region to region, a kind of travel story.
In fact, the most fundamental reason for choosing this kind of plot layout design is because the main theme of this novel is an online game, a sub-fantasy epic.
Epics are naturally inseparable from adventure journeys, so I think it is more appropriate to use such a journey-style structure.
But as to whether it is the most suitable, it is hard to say. There may be a more interesting way of writing it, but that is another story.
In addition, of course, I also refer to the books I have written, but the plot is also different from the books I have written. It can only be regarded as appropriation of previously designed settings. In fact, it is not appropriation. In fact, there are many The setting has changed dramatically.
As for the most mentioned full-timer, I think it’s just that the skills and weapons feel similar.
The real difference between the plot and Full Time is still very big. Those who have read it should know that what I wrote is completely different from his. The few similarities in the plot are that the boss in the early stage is just a cat demon, but in fact, the process of fighting , what happens in the next copy is completely different.
As for the book "Full-time x-man".
Forget it if you haven’t read it. That’s not to say I don’t recommend it, but it’s not a good feeling to promote a book from platform B on platform A.
2. The core keywords of this volume are: growth, journey, transformation, and the journey of finding a partner.
The title of the volume is also: The journey of not yet growing up
The roads we have traveled along the way, the battles we have experienced, the people and things we have encountered, our names have gradually become legends and myths, spreading in the streets and alleys.
Being praised by people is also in line with the subject of travel.
Gaining new partners during the journey and the adventure stories that happen are not the romantic aspects of adventure.
This is a fantasy epic adventure that I absolutely love.
The main tone is definitely based on the Western fantasy style. I don't like to make the elements too complicated, otherwise it will look nondescript. That kind of random fusion of things will only make the work look ugly.
It seems that wearing red wedding clothes at a Western-style wedding will only make people feel different and eye-catching.
But I still try to slightly incorporate some Chinese elements in the tone of the Western fantasy adventure epic.
For example, the character Xin Baiyue, you can tell from her name that she is not a Western-type name. In addition, there are races such as Qifeng, Seven-tailed Phoenix and Blood Crow, which actually use some oriental elements, but I'm very careful when applying it so that I don't suddenly completely change my overall style.
I believe that writing novels means doing whatever happens in any situation, so when it comes to omnics, I always approach them with caution.
Although there are various precedents for works that integrate science and magic, these two are still two strongly conflicting styles after all. This is something I am very careful about.
Of course, some readers may also say, wouldn’t it be a problem if others write xxx like that?
My answer is that others are others, and I am me. Every author has his own writing rules, and there are too many books that have not yet been published... that are too many for you to remember.
The first volume ends with arriving in the imperial capital to solve the Skyshattering Plan, the disaster in Lotvis City, becoming a demi-god, and being awarded and crowned. Until now, the protagonist's team has rarely been separated.
The total number of people in the guild will not be too large, because everyone needs to grow, and growth consumes space. The number of words I update every day, and the main story of the work are also limited, and the branch plots can only be told in conjunction with the main plot.
If there are too many branch lines, if you write about each branch line, there will be no space to write about the main line.
Moreover, when the number of people in a guild increases, it is easy for some people to fall behind, and their strength is seriously inconsistent with the overall level of the team. It is like an actor. In the end, there are only a few main Cs in C, and the others are like vases, purely delineated. It is watered down, or it may only play a small role once in a few dozen chapters.
I don't like this situation.
Since it appears in the team, it should naturally play its indispensable core role, or solve the team's important pain points and shortcomings.
In fact, this situation has already occurred in the previous period. For example, Xiumi's performance seriously failed to keep up with Leng Qingying and Yongzhe Wuwei.
Even Bai Lu almost fell behind, but fortunately, the God of Destruction and Seven Star Magic pulled Bai Lu back.
Guser's demigod battle and Xiumi's demigod promotion finally brought Xiumi's strength back.
As for Zuya, he is the only tank in the team, so there is no lack of performance.
Therefore, if the guild has a large number of people, either one event in the future will be able to write three or four chapters just for the growth of the secondary characters, or the growth will not be seen at all, or the combat power will be unbalanced, and someone will always fall behind.
After all, the growth of the characters cannot be said to be a sudden growth, without anything happening, with no space and no performance.
The next volume will also completely open the way to God.
This is not really a spoiler, after all, we have been talking about becoming a god for a long time, well...
When I write books, I basically start the plot after the god is in the throne, and I gradually tend to focus on games and laws.
The title of the next volume should be announced after the next chapter opens.
And in other respects, I will try my best to design the plot as interesting as possible and give it the feeling of a world of great conflict. The deconstruction of the second volume will have many changes from the first volume. However, I will not spoil anything that involves spoilers. said.
----------------------------------------
[Summary of Volume 1—Things About Data]
1. Reading data of the book:
After all, this book is also a relatively new attempt. It is also my first time to write a group portrait article. The early stage is really about stretching, and it is only in the eighth chapter that I officially enter the more critical main line.
In fact, chapter 78 is the starting point of the adventure. At chapter 28, it is 100,000 words, which means that the official journey only officially starts at about 250,000 words.
This also caused my early data to be a bit disastrous. When I first played, I had 12% completed reads at the start. It slowly increased later on, and now the completion rate of 100,000 has exceeded 30%.
2. Book rating data:
The rating finally went up a bit, which let me know that the book was not bad at all.
There are always book reviews saying that you can read it. All I can say is...where can I read it? There are so many readers here. As long as there is a channel that can really be used, I will believe you.
I never encouraged readers to rate me or give me good reviews until the first volume was finished.
I don’t know the situation for Jinban and above, because I am not a Jinban myself, but I know that it is impossible for ordinary authors to improve their scores.
Then let’s talk about the subject matter:
I wanted to try group portraits for two consecutive books. However, if I write group portraits, one pain point is that it is easy to get started slowly, and many readers will be lost before entering the main story.
Therefore, the early data is always unsatisfactory, but fortunately, I am able to retain all the readers by telling stories later. Readers who can see it here are considered to have recognized the stories I wrote.
I originally wanted to mention an old work, the one called The Artifact, but after thinking about it, mentioning it would be an inhumane spoiler for readers who have not read that book, which is not good, so I won’t mention other books in this book. .
3. Values in the text:
Another annoying part of writing online game articles is adjusting the values.
When fighting monsters, you must always calculate. Although the calculation does not need to be very accurate, the approximate damage should be calculated roughly, at least it cannot deviate very far.
Then, will various equipment, skill, attribute effects, etc. be triggered? What other effects are missing and useless?
Writing a battle may seem simple to others, but I put every action and skill behind it for a long time to figure out whether it can be triggered, whether it can be used, and what else have I missed? Is the damage enough? How long does it take to kill this BOSS? How long will it take for Death Hibernation, how long will it take for the Brave to level A, and how long will it take for Serious Mode? What's the situation with Zuya's damage reduction now?
It's like a game planner. Sometimes I'm really annoyed and want to fill in all 100 billion in one go. It's frustrating to adjust.
Of course, I can only say this as a joke. In the end, I have to figure it out. It’s almost done, and it’s probably OK to put it up.
Sometimes I occasionally see inconsistencies in the values. Sometimes I think about a value over and over again, and after changing it for a long time, I finally figure it out. As a result, I changed the first value but did not change it later, which ultimately leads to confusion between the previous and the previous values. Generally speaking, this is the case. When Duan Ping pointed out the problem, he adjusted it back.
However, in this case, readers who chase books quickly may be the victims.
----------------------------------------
[Summary of Volume 1—About the key readers who keep me going]
I would also like to express my special thanks to Brother Pheasant 1 for the high reward, as well as Rong Rongrong, as well as all the big guys on the reward list.
Rewards really make me happy, but I am also a bit stressed...
What was my original idea? Anyway, one reader gets a penny and another reader gets a penny. I only earn a few cents from reading my book, but I don’t feel like I’m being taken seriously. Even if they say something about what I wrote, Why is it written in such a stupid way? I think you can just criticize me. There is no psychological pressure. This is all my strength in writing this book. If you scold me, I can only say to learn lessons and continue to improve. There is no way to start immediately. In the second stage, you become stronger instantly.
But this reward was 700 to 800 yuan, and I felt that high hopes were placed on me. It was quite stressful. If I couldn’t write well, I would have failed to live up to the high expectations. The third day after I received a reward of several hundred yuan, the third God, the writing is extremely heavy.
The difference between being scolded by passers-by and being scolded by parents who live in food and clothing is still different. I wonder if you can understand it. (Of course, he didn’t actually scold me)
Damn it, eight hundred yuan. In fact, each reader gave me an average of 3 to 4 cents. Let’s count it as 4 cents. One person can support 20,000 readers.
A reward of 800 yuan can keep an author's memory for so long. You should also know how much money the author makes. If you are in the anchor industry, I don't know if a reward of 800 yuan can be remembered for more than one day. I I’m talking about a mid-level anchor. After all, I can be considered a mid-level author. Even though I am like this, those low-level authors are not even worse off.
Rewards do not really account for a high proportion of my income. The artifact book probably accounts for about 10%. If the readers are a little more sophisticated, the proportion may be higher. So generally speaking, I will give a slightly larger amount of rewards. It can be discovered immediately.
Of course, by talking so much about rewards, I don’t mean to ask you to reward more. I just chatted when I thought of it, and I also mentioned the word count. After all, I won’t give rewards, and I can write a chapter by myself. Let me reward myself.
Anyway, you can skip this chapter directly and it won’t affect the plot. I haven’t said anything for a long time. One volume has 940,000 words. Switching to the artifact book, the second volume has been completed and the third volume has been opened.
My personality is probably like this, I'm relatively casual, and I'm too lazy to pretend, and I don't even bother to be miserable. When I don't make money, I really don't make any money.
If I make money, I really make money, and I don’t have to earn a living. I’m not as miserable now as I was when I first started studying.
As of now, the income is not as low as when the book was first published. You don’t have to worry about discontinuing this book. Authors often discontinue updates because the book no longer makes money. Naturally, it is impossible to discontinue updates if the book is making money. Of course, occasionally It is possible to take time off.
For example, after finishing this volume, I need to take a day off. (The final remarks of this volume were written in advance, so I just took a break today.)
Sometimes you need to relax your mind and body, otherwise you will have the painful feeling of typing every day, like waking up to digit today, typing until you go to bed, and then waking up and typing again.
It's quite painful to have a new job every day when you wake up, especially when writing a book is not always full of ideas, and it is even more painful when you encounter a stuck state.
Oh, there are no weekends yet. I still have weekends to recover blood when I go to work normally, but there is no code.
The summary at the end of this chapter is a one-day holiday.
By the way, to improve the overall concept of the next volume, the content of the second volume has actually been thought of in general outline a long time ago.
For example, not long after the beginning of the first volume, I had already thought about walking to Lotvis, and I would also think about various routes during the period.
The design of the second volume is also the same, and the overall design is almost the same.
----------------------------------------
[Summary of Volume 1 - Replies to Various Comments]
Then let’s talk about reviews and book reviews.
I often read various reviews, and some book reviews are very useful for reference. The issue of Leng Qingying was indeed emphasized countless times, which was a very controversial point in the early stage.
Secondly, in terms of currency, the scale of my design is a global game, and everyone may have different perceptions.
In my opinion, as long as it is world-class and involves hundreds of millions of properties, it is nothing at all.
It is normal for a company worth several trillions to be willing to invest hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions in order to expand its future market size and seize the market.
After all, the population is set to be tens of billions, and nearly 90% of people participate in games.
For a market of this level, if you compare it with the actual situation, you can roughly understand the magnitude by doing some calculations.
90% of the tens of billions of people are involved. This market is so huge that it is more terrifying than all the industries in our real world. However, this setting leads to a problem, that is, everyone’s perception is different.
Some people may think that this number is a bit ridiculous. Just throwing out 20 million casually is like wasting money in vain.
It seems to you that it is 20 million, but for large companies, this is actually a comparison of assets on a scale of several trillions or tens of trillions compared to others.
With 20 million, I can interfere with the progress of another competitor with trillions of assets. Should I do it?
The protagonist became famous in the professional game two months before the server in the third zone was launched. In November, he had not had time to monetize his fame after playing the professional game, so the savings in hand were not very large.
There is also the issue of early silver equipment being expensive.
You can refer to ancient glass. Before glass was popular in ancient times, wasn't it a very valuable item?
But how much does a glass product cost now?
It’s a simple truth, things are rare and valuable. When there are only a few dozen pieces of silver equipment in the entire server, it’s not surprising that one piece can be sold for tens of thousands of gold coins.
By the mid-to-late period, silver equipment has become popular, and it is normal for a piece of more than ten gold coins.
Of course... the readers who asked these questions in the book review will most likely not see this place or the questions I answered.
What I mainly want to express is that before doing some data design, I still thought about it a little bit. Although sometimes my thinking may not be very correct and rigorous, at least I think it conforms to a certain logic.
Just take the example I just gave, if it were reversed.
The first piece of silver equipment in the early stage only sold for 100 gold coins. Isn’t it a bit too cheap?
A world-class game, with hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars spent, is looking at the world too small. Rich people are richer than you can see in some novels. It's even more outrageous.
Almost people all over the world are already playing it, but they still can’t afford hundreds of thousands or millions... I really look down on the rich.
In addition, there are also book reviews about artifacts. The book "Guild" does have the term "artifact". The existence of Lu Jia and Xin Qianhuan also revealed this from the side.
But I won’t reveal the specific aspects. This will be part of the key content of the second volume. Now I have the final say on spoilers.
----------------------------------------
[Summary of the first volume—ideas for opening the book]
Then tell me about your thoughts when you opened the book.
In this book, I hope to design some characters who can stay with the protagonist for a long time, rather than the protagonist rising alone.
I have written too many books where the protagonist is purely invincible. If I were willing to write a single character, I could write very good early data. This is not bragging.
This book should be regarded as a kind of relaxation, because I wanted to write it myself.
The industry of writing books is always involuntarily. In order to make money, you always have to follow some popular trends, just like Subject 3, which was popular some time ago. In fact, I don’t understand why it is so popular... But no matter whether it is good or bad, as long as there is traffic All platforms and media should take advantage of these things.
The same goes for the novel industry. We always have to write about popular things. After all, traffic really means money to us.
But in this big flow, I occasionally want to write something I want to write, and that’s the idea.
So a group-playing guild streaming online game that basically no one writes about was born, which can be regarded as filling a gap in the market.
After all, I have seen various professions and plug-ins in online games, but I have never seen a group portrait of a guild. (Looking at the group portrait category, there are hundreds of thousands of books on Tomato. There are only 120 books marked with the group portrait label. I counted them one by one. When I found this label, I found that I could actually cross it to the end in one go, so I counted. Let’s take a look…it shows that no one writes group portraits.)
I took another look at the online games related to guild characters and the category of virtual reality online games. I really didn’t see anything written down.
Obviously guilds are such an important thing in online games.
I also want to read a novel like this, but there really isn't one.
If you happen to be the author, then write it yourself.
It can be regarded as mixed with personal information, but what author doesn't bring a little bit of his own personal information when writing a book.
As for explosive updates.
The popular saying in our author circle is that bursting in tomatoes is the most useless.
The growth in income is the least obvious. In fact, it is almost the same. The purpose of my update is just to speed up the cycle.
If a book gets poor grades, write it faster; if it gets good grades, write it faster.
But now I can no longer write anymore. The longer a book is written, the more time it takes to write it. It may take an hour to write two thousand words in the early stage. It takes a long, long time to finish writing the current two thousand words.
So the updates for the second volume are probably just stabilizing, and it will be even more difficult to explode. I don’t mind stocking up on books...as long as I remember to come back and read them.
The idea for the next book is an online game.
It's just a pure protagonist upgrade, the most traditional ordinary online game with no special features. (I also said the same thing when I finished the previous book. After all, I was tired of always having to implement some fantastic ideas, but I finally decided to write something different.)
The other is a classroom-type novel, where everyone in a class has different abilities. This type of writing is relatively rare on Tomato. It can be understood as similar to Assassination Classroom (if you have read this, it will probably be interesting to me) have a better understanding of what is described)
There are about a dozen classmates, each with different characteristics. In terms of characters, perhaps characters such as Xin Baiyue, Tixi, and even Izpalut will grow up from scratch as classmates.
It's just that this kind of thing is obviously more difficult to write, and it will most likely be postponed to the fourth book before writing like this.
Personally, I want to be popular and make a lot of money, so I also want to be promoted to the gold rank.
It is too early to say this, after all, this book is only the first volume.
This year I expect to finish two to three books. As for this one...according to my expected pace, it should be considered a relatively long one. There will definitely be three volumes. The end of this first volume already contains so many words. , even if the number of words in the second and third volumes will be less each, it is estimated to be more than two million words.
After finishing this book, the second one will be more relaxed and lively. It is expected to be over one million words long, so the estimate is 1 to 2 books. Otherwise, if there are 10,000 words per day, 365 days will not be enough to write four to five million words.
This book has an overall structure, which is the same as my past habits. The far-end events are roughly determined, and the near-end details are gradually added. Each character will also have its own corresponding growth path.
As for the gods.
No spoilers for now.
Occasionally I see some people mention my old works.
Indeed, some of the characters' names are the same as those in the old game.
However, this book does exist independently. There is no need to read any previous works, and not reading other works will not have any impact on reading this book.
The characters only have the same name.
If you have to say the purpose of doing this, it is probably to build a character universe of your own.
A certain character is the god of luck in a certain work, and the emperor in a certain work, but in other works, he may appear as the ultimate villain opposite to the protagonist.
All characters that have appeared in previous works may appear as later characters or early characters in other works.
There are countless versions of her in different works. This is probably my ambition in doing this.
In the previous book, when designing a certain artifact, I already had this idea.
As for which one it is, I won’t spoil it myself, lest anyone want to watch it and be spoiled by the author, who is quite wicked.
The idea at that time was to write the fourth volume and follow this idea.
But I felt that just embodying this idea in one book was too narrow, and it was already at an advanced stage at the time, and it would be finished in a short time.
So it evolved into multiple volumes of writing.
Maybe in the next book, White Deer, Brave and Fearless, Leng Qingying, Zuya, Xiumi and others will appear. They may be a help for a certain character in their growth, or they may be a BOSS at a certain stage.
For example, the Final Witch who destroys everything is actually quite interesting as the final BOSS.
Of course, that’s what I said. After all, this book has just finished the first volume, and it’s still early for the entire book to be finished, let alone the big boss of the next book.
In the next book, the protagonists of the previous book may also participate in the new world map. Perhaps they will still exist as a member of the protagonist group from beginning to end, or perhaps they will only show up in the later stages.
Most of these characters will have their own "anchor"
For example, there is a high probability that Xin Baiyue and Xin Jueyue will appear together (the possibility of only one appearing alone cannot be ruled out)
For example, there is a high probability that Yakaticto is related to luck (the possibility that it has nothing to do with luck cannot be ruled out)
There is a high probability that Xiumi is related to Luluwei (but it is not ruled out that Xiumi is a follower of other gods)
But at the same time, I will also guarantee that the plot line is completely different, and the things that will happen are enough to be unexpected, and it will most likely be interesting.
At the same time, I also guarantee that each work is absolutely an independent work as long as it does not indicate a second part, a third part, or a connection between the upper and lower parts.
You don’t need the world view of any other works to continue reading, it’s the same no matter which one you read first.
Of course, the protagonist is still named Lu Cang (probably) as always.
The two books I have finished are moving towards novel and magnificent plots, but for the next one I kind of want to practice my basic skills.
Write the most traditional and ordinary stories, just pretend to be ordinary and slap in the face. If you write ordinary stories well, your creativity will be better displayed in the future.
Moreover, good ideas also require time to conceive. The long time spent writing traditional routines also allowed me to carefully think about the innovative story of the next book.
The only pity is the Lord's book. If that book had been conceived and written at the pace of 100,000 words, the story would not be any worse than the one I'm writing now.
But at that time, my grades were poor, I was confused, and I couldn’t control the rhythm. It can be understood that the content that should have been published in 500,000 to 600,000 words was directly lost to 100,000 to 200,000 words.
And this book is that even if my grades are poor, I haven't changed any of my ideas, and I just wrote it step by step according to the rhythm I expected.
That’s it for the summary. It’s a bit long, but after all, it’s an end-of-volume summary of a million words. It’s normal to have more.
(By the time the artifact book reaches this point, it has already gone through two end-of-volume summaries and one mid-volume summary)
