Chapter 50 Some thoughts at the end
The first volume of "Youth Trilogy" officially ends here.
As the end approached, readers kept coming out to say that my pace was too slow, and there were also discussions about whether the novel should have a single female protagonist or a harem.
Regarding the rhythm, I can only say that book friends who have read this should have realized that my book is more like an entertainment article than a literary work.
After deciding to write a Japanese literary masterpiece about the post-bubble era, I had already planned to abandon the traditional writing style of literary masterpieces.
You should have read Lao Wang’s book on literary masters of the Republic of China, my friend’s book on literary masters of England, as well as the literary masters of various eras that are popular today.
Their core is to follow the historical timeline while dealing with family and social relationship conflicts, while copying books crazily to shock other people, and then the protagonist quickly grows into a great writer, a wealthy person, a high-ranking member of society, and then it is a mindless cycle of shocking various important figures.
If there is a historical timeline, there is a high probability that we will go through the historical process.
Such articles will also be written with multiple female protagonists, because a single female protagonist will not be enough to write a long article and it will not be a good article.
But I don't want to do that with this book.
Therefore, I will reduce this type of routine and mindless loop relatively, and focus more on an ordinary time traveler, how he gradually becomes the pillar of a publishing house from a small security guard through plagiarism, and then step by step becomes a literary giant.
This is actually a long and interesting process. Kitagawa Hideki went from an unknown security guard to having his own home, woman, friends, and later a family and career.
As the introduction says, for an interesting and meaningful new life.
So it seems that the pace of my writing is much slower than that of other literary masters, because part of it focuses on life, company, family, etc. For this reason, I update very quickly. I can even split the daily update into 4 chapters.
Secondly, because I don't want this mindless cycle, and I don't want to become a great person by just copying books, so in the plot arrangement, I try to let Kitagawa Hide's own needs, what he sees, hears, and feels drive him to copy books. Rather than the mindless kind of "this is popular, so just copy it."
The "Youth Trilogy" series, from "Wind" to "Ball" to "Sheep", reflects the transformation process of the original author Murakami. The original book is also very interesting, so I want to try my best to let everyone feel this in the text. Kitagawa Hideya is also undergoing a transformation through this series.
I didn't expect to be criticized for being lazy and slow.
As for the female lead, actually all my previous books were about harems, but to be honest, the harems I wrote were a mess, without any character development, and it was all mindless promotion of the female lead, and then I realized, ah, it was because I didn’t have the ability to write so much.
Therefore, this time I tried to focus on a few female characters and only promote one love line.
But men always hope that other women will admire them, and they can't help but appreciate the beauty of other people, right? It can't be that the heroine alone has no other women.
Anyway, the performance of the book is not very good, and it is you all who support me to continue writing. I have been thinking about eunuchs every minute these days.
I hope you guys will stop criticizing me. I will try my best to write well. If you really can't stand reading such literary works, please be gentle with your comments.
that's all.
The name of the second volume is "No Longer Human".
