Let’s talk about some of the inner thoughts and the future plot
“The Devil Comes” is almost three million words long.
According to the length of Long’s previous works, when this number of words is reached, the ending can actually be considered.
However, the real climax of "The Devil Comes" has not yet arrived, and there is still a lot that I want to write but has not yet written.
Therefore, it is meaningless if the number of words is not enough. I don’t say how long it will take to write. I am not sure about this. Anyway, I will finish it slowly and steadily.
Many readers are willing to pursue dragon books because they believe in the steadiness of dragons.
But now there is a problem. It has been a full year since the release of "The Coming of the Demon". Except for taking some leave under special circumstances, Long has actually continued the tradition of updating every day. Moreover, the word length and writing difficulty of this updated book are actually much higher than the previous "Midnight Bookstore".
Just like a football player who has an offseason to recover after a season, writing for a year without statutory holidays will inevitably lead to mental and physical failure. I now clearly feel this As a result of the ongoing effects of this problem, stress can accumulate as fatigue prolongs.
This can only be adjusted by the dragon himself. When I say this, I am not complaining or showing pity. Since you are eating this bowl of rice, you have to bear the weight of the bowl. People from all walks of life want to make a living. No one is simple, and there is no need to be pretentious.
I am just saying this to give everyone a shot in advance and to apologize. If in the future, one day my energy and state really cannot support me to write a satisfactory chapter and I have to take a leave of absence, I will still Please understand.
In fact, water is really good. After writing books for so many years, how could I not be good at hydrology?
I won’t say that there is not a single chapter in "The Devil Comes". How is this possible?
Sometimes, when you are sleepy and tired, you will inevitably want to finish this chapter quickly so that you can take a bath and sleep. This is human nature, but there are also times when it is not suitable to go to the water. Some plots are written by the time , there is no way to deal with it.
When I first started writing "The Devil Comes", my editor-in-chief actually didn't agree with it, but I still insisted on writing it.
Leaving aside other factors, in "The Devil Comes", you can be as literary as you want, show off your skills, and write other types of books, but there is not such a high degree of freedom and it is not so easy to experiment with your own abilities. The advantage of this skill is that it allows you to make breakthroughs, try to grow, and improve your writing skills.
Therefore, "The Devil Comes" was not originally focused on performance and commercialization, that is, income. When I first started writing it, I knew in my heart that the performance would decline.
How to write to sell well, how to write to achieve better results, how to write to reach a wider audience. In fact, Long understands and is good at it, but how to say it, you have to be pretentious like Uncle Zheng. This is Zheng Fan The values I share with the Demon Lords are also my own current mentality.
On the basis of satisfying the material living conditions as much as possible, we should try our best to take care of our own happiness.
Hmm,
Actually, the subscription data of "Devil's Coming" is not high, and the high-end orders are not high, but the external performance seems to be quite high. Because people who don’t like this book will really dislike it, but those who like it and have read this will like it very much. In other words, we are more enthusiastic readers of this book.
I have always been grateful for everyone's enthusiasm. I have said it many times. When I am willful, there is a group of people supporting me. This is really a great encouragement. When an author has confidence, when he creates, It's more impressive.
Writing this book is really tiring, but it is really refreshing, so I always feel that I am very happy. It is really a great happiness to be able to work with a happy attitude.
The plot has been advancing a bit slowly recently.
It's like driving. When you reach a fork in the road ahead, you have to slow down a little, look at the signs, and weigh which way to go.
Everyone can discuss the plot speculation, but please don’t attack each other. To me, you who are reading the book now are the cutest people. Well, everyone should continue to be cute.
I can only say that I will try my best to give everyone a more acceptable plot direction. In fact, I am the first reader of my book. Just like the fine points, one is me writing the book and the other is reading. The former Not satisfied, the latter went up to fight.
Well, so, everyone can rest assured on this.
And then when it comes to the details of the plot,
I am not a professional historical author, nor a military author. I... am a ghost story writer.
So, if the details of common sense are wrong, you can correct me and I will correct them, but please be more tolerant. After all, this is an imaginary background, and there are demons, alchemists, and devils, so , it is not equivalent to a pure ancient historical background, hahaha, some mistakes can be excused, akimbo.
As for me, I try to write as much to the point as possible.
For example, I saw some readers saying that just like this, tens of thousands of cavalry were beaten to the bottom of the capital. How about fun?
How should I put it?
The things that really happened in history are often more story-telling than the stories written by novelists. You can still use logic when making up stories, but in reality, there are many I just don’t talk logic to you...
For example, this time using troops,
There is a paragraph in real history:
"Historical Records. Biography of Fan Sui and Cai Ze": Chu was thousands of miles away and held millions of halberds. Bai Qi led tens of thousands of troops to fight against Chu. Yan Ying burned Yiling and then fought south to invade Shu Han.
How to say?
Actually, many of the battle cases in "The Demon's Coming" have their shadows in history. I would like to write in a less fantasy direction. The battle cases in reality are more fantasy...
"The Demon's Coming" ", in fact, it mainly tells stories about people, the dynasty hegemony, and the War of the Yan Dynasty are just a main line laid out to write about people. In fact, I prefer to use some small worlds to enrich this world and make it more humane.
To put it bluntly,
This is just a world and characters imagined by a fat guy sitting at home. Thank you for your willingness to come and take a look.
Well,
that’s it for now,
let’s continue to walk happily together on the next road.
After reading this chapter of reflections, you can refresh your bookshelf, because I will also post the next chapter. I have learned my lesson now. It is not good to just post reflections without updating.
So before I want to write a testimonial in the future, I should first update and write the next chapter.
There will be a second update in the evening, but it will be later. You don’t have to wait, because two younger relatives will come to the house tonight. I am the brother-in-law and I have to take them to have a meal.
Finally,
Don’t panic,
Refresh your bookshelf! (End of this chapter)
