Chapter 37 Some explanations about readers’ book reviews
From the beginning of the book to the present, Da Siao has been paying attention to readers' feedback.
Because Da Sniper is a computer reader, I don’t read many comments in the book review area (there is no book review area on the computer now, so I don’t understand Da Sniper when I play it on mobile). I mainly read this chapter to tell you what you have to say about Da Sniper. Say as much as possible and leave a message in this chapter.
Regarding some of the current feedback and doubts about this book, I would like to explain it here.
1. About hydrology.
This topic has been around for a long time, and was explained in the previous book. Because it is a game article, there must be a lot of data descriptions, monsters, equipment, and skill descriptions.
In fact, writing this thing is more difficult than writing a normal article. It is definitely not because the author wants to be lazy. This thing requires a lot of brains to compile and think about. Sometimes it takes a long time to set up an interesting equipment, but with this effort, it can be done I have written several hundred words.
In the end, people will always criticize me, and you may say that I am wronged or not, but there is nothing I can do about it. Things like game writing are indispensable, and there will definitely be data descriptions in the future, especially every time the protagonist kills someone If a big BOSS drops a bunch of equipment, it must be a bunch of data descriptions.
Get vaccinated in advance.
But every time there is a chapter with a lot of data, I will post a few hundred words more. For example, Chapter 30: The Weird Goat, which lists the data of five goats, but I posted 3,100 words for this chapter, which is 2,000 words more than the normal one. The chapters are a thousand words longer, just to avoid readers being unhappy, but people still often say it’s dumb. I’m really helpless about this, because it’s really not dumb.
And it’s a free period now, so it doesn’t make sense no matter how much water I drink.
This point has been complained about and explained in the previous book. I will explain it here again, and I will not explain it in the future.
2. Regarding the protagonist’s tone of voice.
The protagonist sometimes switches his tone according to the scene and the purpose of the conversation. For example, when talking to a few dogs, it is more straightforward, as if he is talking to a child.
This is not because the author has poor writing skills, but because considering the relatively low IQ of dogs, it is definitely impossible to talk to them. Use simple and straightforward language as much as possible. You can interpret the scene as the protagonist trying to fool a few five-year-olds. For a six-year-old child, the tone must be more childish.
If you are talking to an old man, or a university scholar, you will naturally have to be more formal.
Another example is the protagonist's conversation with the hunter. At the beginning, he talks about "ma'am", but the hunter himself always talks about my wife, my wife, etc. Then the protagonist realizes that this hunter is a big boss, and is too lazy to write about it later. Just you. How about my wife?
I think there's nothing wrong with this. I don't know why some people complain about it.
Moreover, the main purpose of the protagonist and NPC dragging text is to facilitate communication and fit the context. However, once the task is received or it is found that it is no longer necessary, sometimes he is too lazy to pretend. After all, normal dragging is quite tiring, and it must be a big deal. It’s easier to speak in plain language, and it’s impossible to pull the text out of everyone’s eyes.
There will be a similar situation in the future. One second I'll say, 'Old man, you're old Guigeng', and the next second I'll say, 'Old man, hurry up, I'm in a hurry.'
Hereby explain.
3. Regarding the choices of some protagonists.
These choices are all considered, but sometimes the protagonist's thinking process is not written out.
For example, when the protagonist exorcises ghosts, he does not look for Black Whirlwind but Ye Luo.
Imagine: The protagonist uses exorcism, and the ghost comes out. The black whirlwind says, left to left, and screams into the air to help locate it.
But this kind of positioning is definitely not that accurate. If I want to become an immortal and slash with my sword, I may or may not hit it, but even if I am lucky enough to hit it, it is impossible to kill me. And ghosts can fly, so they just hide away. Get up, mission failed.
But it would definitely be more reliable to find Ye Luo.
So it’s not that the protagonist is stupid, it’s just that the protagonist has considered it.
But it’s impossible to write out the content of this kind of consideration every time. [The protagonist thinks, what if I find Black Tornado——] That would be too procrastinating.
In fact, when I write now, I often feel that the content is a bit slow. Many times when the protagonist makes a decision, I will write out his consideration process, just to explain it to readers, because some readers are really good at complaining.
In fact, I didn't write about this in the past. The protagonist did whatever he wanted without explaining too much. But then more people complained about it, so I had to explain the protagonist's inner thoughts in some more controversial areas.
When learning skills or choosing equipment, the protagonist will think about it internally to explain why he did so.
But this kind of inner description cannot be written every time. For example, the protagonist buys steamed buns but not pork. [What the protagonist thinks is that the steamed buns will add 10 points of physical strength for 5 coins, and the dried wild boar meat will add 50 points of physical strength for 25 coins. Both of them can supplement physical strength. The ratio is the same, but the steamed buns can be eaten separately. For example, if you lose 10 points of physical strength and want to recover, you can eat a steamed bun.
It is more flexible to replenish physical strength in this way, and dried wild boar meat can only be eaten at one time, so it is more convenient to buy steamed buns]. But if such trivial matters were written down, it would be too procrastinating, and some people would definitely say that the author was in hydrology again.
Therefore, some of the protagonist’s choices that are not very important, or choices that I think everyone can understand, will not be written about the inner description, but in fact they must have been considered.
Hereby explain.
4. About being self-centered.
This kind of egocentrism is something that everyone has to some extent. Everyone has their own ideas and feels that their ideas are right. This is inevitable.
I am such a person too.
But some people may mistakenly think that no matter what I think, everyone must also think so, so my thoughts are equal to everyone else’s thoughts, so my thoughts are absolutely correct. If you don’t write according to my thoughts, you are You idiot, you just don't respect the readers.
So I’m going to spray you, and you can’t be angry, because I’m absolutely right and I represent the [obvious consensus of everyone].
Well, this is actually not the case. As an author, I receive feedback from a large number of readers on a daily basis. Especially in the last book, I voted for every big choice. I can say that for every choice, the readers are divided into several different groups. .
There is absolutely no such thing as [apparent consensus].
Maybe there are very few things, such as the protagonist absolutely cannot die.
But the problem with most is that readers see things differently.
As an author, I definitely hope to satisfy all readers, but this is absolutely impossible to achieve.
For example, for the main plot of this book, I originally set up two stories, the dark line and the easy line, for readers to choose. The plot of the dark line is, [The protagonist is recruited by Liu Qiang and sent to the Qinglonghui base to be cannon fodder, and then struggles. The story of survival and finally counterattack. 】
That's right, it's the base in the prologue, the one where a lot of people died.
And the story of Easy Line is now this.
As a result, the two votes in the group ended in a tie. In the end, the decision was made based on the new book selection vote at the end of the previous book. Maybe the difference of one vote would lead to a completely different story now.
So everyone must understand that your choice is just your choice, and as an author, I cannot satisfy everyone. I can only choose to satisfy the majority of people, and sometimes this majority may even be only 51%.< br/>If you choose more than 3, there is a 50% chance that none will be available.
In fact, my personal pleasure is often in the relatively niche category, not even 49%, but the 10% category, so many times the voting results are often beyond my expectations, and the person I want to choose is the one I want to vote for. There are not many candidates. If I write it completely according to my own ideas, many people will probably criticize me as "It's too poisonous. Is the author an idiot? Here comes the shit again."
Since I used the voting method, there have been significantly fewer people complaining, and the author is quite pleased with this.
The side effect is that the author has become a terminal patient with difficulty in choosing. Sometimes I ask readers to help choose a piece of equipment, a name, and what the protagonist eats for breakfast (usually I ask for opinions in the group, the group number is at the end.).
So when you feel that something in this book does not conform to your ideas, before you start complaining, please consider this possibility. Your ideas may just be your ideas, and not an [obvious consensus].
Of course, some people just like to criticize the author, and there's nothing you can do about it. They can find faults wherever they want.
For example, if the protagonist chooses a weapon and I write about the protagonist learning to sword, someone will definitely complain, "Damn, it's using a sword again. It's so cliché. Why do all the protagonists use swords? Can't there be something new?"
If I write that the protagonist uses a gun, some people may complain, "How can there be a protagonist who uses a gun? He looks so cool with a sword."
If I write that the protagonist uses nunchucks, "Damn, the author is an idiot. He still uses nunchakus. How can the protagonist use nunchakus?"
For another example, I posted this explanation and hoped that people would stop criticizing me. Others will definitely criticize me again. Damn it, your explanation is stupid. If you have the time to write two more chapters, it is no better than anything else.
The reader is God. As an author, I can only bear it silently. The so-called thunder, rain and dew are all blessings.
So if someone criticizes me or something in the future, I won’t explain it anymore.
Hereby explain.
