Summary at the end of the paper and asking for a day off
After five months and five days, the third chapter of the story comes to an end.
A total of 900,000 words have been updated, and the average daily update is 6,000 words, which is not much, but it is still within the qualified line.
In the original concept, the Emerald Scroll kicked off, entering the mysterious era game from Alan's perspective, and starting a mysterious and extraordinary adventure.
The Amber Scroll, as the first act, allows Allen to personally participate in the previous events involving the main plot, and gradually unfolds the world view, showing everyone the style of a corner of the empire.
The Obsidian Scroll should be the climax of the first act.
This volume is logically important because its content contains the deeper mysteries of the world and a corner of the truth hidden beneath the surface of the world. There is also the story of Allen's fate, the growth of his companions, the high-ranking beings behind multiple forces, and the black knight Byers.
Wait, wait...
There are so many things I want to write about, so many things.
However, many accidents and bottlenecks occurred during this process. This was the first dilemma Luobo faced as a newcomer.
First of all, this is also caused by the misalignment caused by the setting shop being too large and the lack of writing power.
For example, the frequent appearance of high-ranking beings, Howard's sense of oppression is too strong, Allen's passivity due to his own strength, the plot is too dry, too compact with little rest time, and various other problems.
As a result, Luo Bao was exhausted physically and mentally, and could only do one update for most of September. On the one hand, it was due to physical reasons, and on the other hand, the story in his mind was too complicated and messy. The outline was deleted and revised several times, but he was still not satisfied.
If I were to judge it on a ten-point scale, I would probably only give it a five.
Sadly, really sadly, I'm not happy with Obsidian Scroll.
During this period, in addition to coding, I also joined the learning stage. I am very grateful to Huwei for sharing his creations and bought two books recommended by him.
One of the sentences is very good, as if it is describing the state of radish:
“These people are hindered from creating by the cowardice of their nature, because only in their minds can the perfect image be written, but these talents refuse to flow out... Whenever I meet someone who is tortured by dryness of inspiration I told him that a writer who has run out of inspiration has another name: a coward.
The writer who has run out of inspiration is not afraid of success or failure; what he is afraid of is the failure of his work to meet his own standards. ”
Yes, I am suffering more and more because I am dissatisfied.
Perhaps there is another reason, which is that the creative passion gradually declined and the initial impulse of expression was lost.
This is a huge blow to the author.
Really only through practice can you get the truth.
Carrot admires those authors who write millions of words and still maintain their passion. Of course, this is also a hurdle that must be overcome on this road.
Fortunately, it's over now.
In the process of learning, Carrot interrogated himself.
"King of Villains" What exactly do I want to write, what exactly do I want to express, what kind of story do I want to share with you, what kind of emotions do I want to convey... What is my style, what do I love, what is suitable for me?
I didn’t know the real answer, but I was gradually seeing myself.
Chen Lun's name, which sounds like "sink", is a tribute to Zheng Zha, the protagonist of the enlightenment work "Infinite Horror", and is also the main theme of the whole story.
This is the story of a time traveler who challenges fate, escapes fate, and finally takes control of his own destiny.
I want to present to you a mysterious and paradoxical extraordinary world. It really exists, whether it is gods, angels, other high-level beings, or the dark and profound gaze under the iceberg of the world, the spiritual world, the dream world, and the lives of higher dimensions. Cruising.
The era and history of this world have happened before. What traces have been left behind? Apart from the so-called gods, are there any more terrifying things or objects...
Wait, wait.
Every character has his or her own dream pursuit and story. Everything Chen Lun experienced and everyone he met should have independent consciousness and not be manipulated by me.
"The duty of a novelist should be like a hypnotist, leading readers into a dreamland where they forget about the real world."
As a narrator, Luo Bao's duty must be to present a real dream so that everyone can be immersed in it. After work and study, they can unconsciously forget the scenes of life, immerse themselves in dreams, and start a dream journey.
This is also what Carrot pursues.
I like elements such as Cthulhu, mystery, weird stories, fantasy, gothic and violent aesthetics.
This is probably my favorite area.
Maybe this is not a popular track, nor is it a subject that the public loves, but it is what Luobo is interested in. I don’t know what the future will be like, but most likely, I will continue to develop my own style in such fantasy.
Returning to "King of Villains", the story should be about five or six volumes long, so the stage has just been set, so everyone who is dreaming, please be patient.
Preview of the next volume, Blood Diamond.
Two new members will join the circus, and the leader, Mr. Jack, will gradually become the overlord of the middle series. The iceberg of the world gradually reveals more features, and the truth will be revealed step by step. It is not yet known what form the disputes between history and high positions will take in the empire.
Version 1.0 of the game may end in the next volume.

In addition, Carrot takes a day off.
This is the first time I have asked for leave since I started writing this book. I ask for your understanding.
It’s really because of the serial update that time is chasing me and it’s hard to stop and sort out the plot. Carrot needs to spend enough energy and time to organize the outline of the next volume so that a smoother and more exciting story can be presented.
Thank you all beauties.
No more gossip, I won't interrupt and leave first.
