Remarks on the completion of the book:
"The Devil Comes" has been completed. It took two years and 5.28 million words.
This is the longest book I have ever written.
Actually, my original plan was 3 million words. A story, in an online novel, 3 million words, feels like it can be told from beginning to end. However, if it is longer, it will easily become tiring for the author and also for the readers. tired.
But to my surprise,
This book was initially intended to be a self-pleasure for me.
As I kept writing,
I found that there were so many readers who liked it. It's getting better.
For the author,
it is really a kind of happiness,
Thank you for giving me this happiness.
Two years of update time,
Some readers have followed from the beginning, and most readers have followed for more than a year.
I and you are like stars in the night sky.
I sit on the steps and look at you in the sky.
You are also sitting on the steps, looking at me and other readers in the sky. After all, there is the interaction mentioned in this chapter.
When it is updated every day, everyone is meeting each other.
It may be before going to bed at night, it may be when taking the subway, train, bus, stopping in a rest area to rest, or taking a break to smoke a cigarette.
This is like the stars in the sky.
Which ordinary person can tell clearly which star is which in the sky?
But know every night that he is there and so are they.
We have experienced and witnessed a story together and seen various characters in it. This is our common journey.
This is a very strange feeling. We are strangers to each other, but for nearly two years, we have done the same thing every day and have similar responses.
Actually,
when "The Devil Comes" reached three million words, I stopped looking at the background results and ignored other things. All the tasks were just for Complete this book completely.
So in the later months, I often updated it every day, because I didn’t want to rush and leave myself with no time to think about it carefully.
The very strange thing is that
In fact, when I started writing the beginning of "The Coming of the Demon", I designed the images of Zheng Fan and the seven demon kings, as well as the initial plot of Hutou City. , and then showed this beginning to my editor-in-chief.
The editor-in-chief asked me: Where is the outline?
I answered: No.
My original idea was that the main plot would be based on the bond between Zheng Fan and the demon kings.
But who knew that it was written,
Tian Wujing was written, and Tian Wujing was written. The emperor of Yan was born, Li Liangting was written, Xiao Liuzi was written, the fort commander who opened the red tent in the fort on the three sides was written, and a series of characters that followed...
Then,
I, the author, have been led astray.
A good book called "Devil's Coming" was written into "Dayan War Chronicles".
The main reason is that the "natives" in this story are so wonderful and unique. They stand there like exquisite figures...
Write As I write, I am not willing to let the demon kings act as destroyers, destroying and overthrowing them for fun;
but let the demon kings become a part of this story and background. .
The more I keep writing, the more reluctant I am to let go. The demon kings can only continue to have their heads pressed and accept the facts of "Dayan War Chronicles".
The changes in the protagonist's mentality along the way are actually changes in me as the author, and also changes in you.
In the end, everyone accepted this change.
In short,
I think "The Devil Comes" is not perfect, nor can it be perfect, but among online novels, it can be regarded as an excellent novel.
A story that can make people like it very much is enough.
At the end of this chapter,
Because there are too many characters in the book,
many characters don’t actually explain their final fate, but I think there is no need to explain it, because everyone should be able to imagine it in their minds It’s too detailed to tell where he will be and what he will do. It’s not interesting to just hit the key points at the end.
I know that everyone is looking forward to a Western plot.
The reason for looking forward to a Western plot is that they don’t want "The Devil Comes" to be completed.
Because everyone knows very well that it is almost finished. Even though I, the author, did not say in advance how long it will take to complete the book, it is clear to everyone that the story, the Eastern plot, has come to an end.
But if we forcefully develop a Western plot, and then write about local customs, various new characters, and new forces without any foreshadowing, firstly, it will be difficult to write as brilliantly as before; secondly, It will become a matter of changing the map.
So, it’s not necessary.
I hope, within my ability, to leave you with what I think is the best work.
If I really want to write, I can definitely write, and I can continue to write a lot more. The subscriptions for "The Coming of the Demon" have been increasing, and my income will not decrease.
But I, a fat homebody, will almost have to rely on writing novels to support my family for the rest of my life, and I won’t be able to change my career.
When one book is finished, there will definitely be another one.
I have said before,
"The Coming of the Devil" is my writing practice during the transformation period.
Now that I have a writing practice book,
then when I get the next one,
I definitely have to see the results after the training.
It's like the horror broadcast after "Horror Internet Articles", and the "Midnight Bookstore" after "He Came from Hell".
So,
The next work
will continue the style of "The Devil Comes".
But it will be more refined than Mo Lin, the characters will be more three-dimensional, the plot will be richer, the story will be more touching, and it will have more depth, making it more mature.
Inseparable,
It is a deluxe hardcover version of "The Coming of the Devil".
Those of you who like "The Coming of Evil" will definitely like the new game. I myself am looking forward to it very much.
For physical reasons, I need to take a short break, but it won’t be too long. Before the end of the year, the new book will be released, maybe November, maybe December. When I’m ready, I will release it with everyone. Meet.
A short farewell,
is to adjust the mood,
to welcome a better encounter.
Everyone,
wait for my news,
we will start the next two-year appointment. (End of this chapter)
