Let’s see what everyone says
Regarding the controversial plot in the last three or four chapters, if you want to change it, I don’t have any problem. As I said before, Douya can listen to advice.
Let’s talk about the setting that cannot be changed: Ran Qingchen is Yan Changqing’s daughter. This was foreshadowed from the beginning and cannot be changed.
Ran Qingchen is the only bloodline holder of the Shura clan, but Ye Zhuchan is not, as will be explained later.
At that time, Ran Qingchen and Qu Hongling were chased by Ancestor Shura. However, at the critical moment, Ancestor Shura's skeleton let Ran Qingchen go because it discovered Ran Qingchen's identity.
Let me talk about my thoughts first:
At that time, I asked everyone whether they were sexually abused, and most of the readers supported it. It's just that the torture in everyone's mind is not the torture I planned, so the controversy arose.
Why do you want to torture Ran? I have given the reason before, because only in this way can the image of Ran Qingchen be established. In the past, Ran was hated by many readers because of her capricious character. I was also laying the groundwork, unable to let her blossom into her own style.
As the only bloodline of the Shura clan, she follows the path of a female devil and kills ruthlessly.
Jiang Wan does not mean to harm her. As I said before, the Shura clan will harm themselves if they fall in love. So Jiang Wan here is not a villain, but really cares about her.
As for why I chose to use old-fashioned plots from decades ago to torture people at the wedding, there are two reasons.
First of all, it is naturally a character that I personally like very much, Zhou Zhiruo.
The first thing I watched was the Wu version of Yi Tian, and I didn’t like Zhou Zhiruo in it. As for the Su version of Yi Tian, maybe it's because I like the actor "Gao" so much, which can be said to be the goddess in my mind, that I can't forget this version of Zhou Zhiruo.
Even now, Gao is still the goddess in my mind. Many young readers may have never heard of this actor, so her full name cannot be printed here.
So, I thought about recreating such an old-fashioned black wedding. It’s just that I didn’t lay the groundwork well enough and didn’t write it well.
Moreover, some heart-to-heart conversations between the male protagonist and Li Nanshuang, Xia He Qiuye, and Jiang Yi on the eve of the wedding were deleted.
The second reason is because I was reminded repeatedly in the previous plot that when Ran Qingchen got married for the first time, she left the male protagonist behind. At that time, except for the old lady and Jin Xiu, the male protagonist was ridiculed by everyone in the Ran family. This is also part of the reason why the male protagonist left the Ran family.
So the second, bigger wedding and the male protagonist's departure are more like a secret punishment for Ran's first willfulness. The two will eventually have a third wedding. Because the relationship between the two is still too hasty, unreliable, and immature, it needs to continue to be tempered.
In short, the wedding plot was indeed unsatisfactory.
To be honest, when writing this plot, readers are anxious. As an author, I am even more anxious and eager to write it out. Because I have been looking forward to this plot for a long time.
And I usually write very impatiently. Sometimes I can't write the plot I expected within the specified time, so I delete some originally planned plots to speed up the progress.
This has also been criticized by many readers.
This has happened several times before, such as the deletion of the story of Ran and Li's sisters in trouble, etc., but I only regretted it afterwards, and I didn't think there was anything wrong with it when I wrote it.
I discussed it with the administrator. I stayed up late to get out of the wedding episode, which many readers were looking forward to. My original plan was to break up chapters at key moments and then slowly write about the subsequent conflicts. And readers who are familiar with me also know that I like to do this kind of thing the most. Many plots in previous books were interrupted at critical moments.
It’s just that this time, I plan to write it all out, mainly because I’m afraid of being scolded. Now I will really get scolded if I break the chapter, so many authors don’t dare to do it. I planned to finish writing the wedding plot, but as I kept writing, I found that I couldn’t finish it in one day. If I had written it normally, I might have updated it for two days before reaching the wedding plot.
So I started to selectively delete the plot of the male protagonist’s heart-to-heart conversation with Xia He and Qiu Ye. The main plot was to appease the two women. Then a little bit of the plot with Jiang Yi was deleted. The scene where the male protagonist went to Li Nanshuang to inform him about the wedding and the conversation between the two was also deleted. There were also two fight scenes at the wedding, which were also deleted.
I think that as long as it does not affect the wedding plot, it is okay to delete these small plots, and they can be made up for in other ways later. But at present, it seems that it might be better if it is added. In fact, many readers can tell that the wedding plot was written very anxiously and felt a bit disconnected.
Then let’s talk about my outline idea first.
My outline plan is that in this volume, Ran Qingchen will turn black, suppress Queen Shura, and gain her cultivation. The emperor thought he had control over her, but was killed by Ran. After the emperor's death, the continent fell into complete chaos. Under the operation of Nightingale, the male protagonist had his own power, and heroes from all sides rose up.
Regarding the plot of chasing her husband that I planned before, many people mistakenly thought that the heroine regretted it and started chasing her husband in the crematorium. Actually, what I want to write is that Ran listened to Ye Zhuchan's story about Jiang Shouzhong and Qu Hongling in Anhe Village, and solved some misunderstandings. In addition, Mrs. Ran enlightened Ran before she died. So Ran decided to go to the Yao clan to find the male protagonist, and something happened in the process.
In addition, I plan to use this plot to establish Li Nanshuang's image. Let the male protagonist wake up the male protagonist by scolding him and enlightening him during the period of emotional confusion, which will play a role in helping the male protagonist to be more decisive when facing emotional entanglements with other women in the future.
In short, Ran Qingchen is the title and introduction of my book.
When I write books, I am used to making big inversions in the titles of my books. The title of Madam’s book was inverted in the middle of the book. Madam originally also had a reversal, but I failed to write it.
As for the ex-wife villain, I want to reverse it with Ran Qingchen.
She is the real ex-wife and the villain. The scene in the introduction is for her.
In short, everyone does not accept this kind of plot now. If you want me to change it, I can change it. I put forward the plan that needs to be changed here, and everyone can see whether it is feasible or not.
I discussed it in the group this morning, and many group members wanted small changes, not major changes. Let me first state the plan here and ask for your opinions.
First, don’t change it, try to make it as round as possible.
Second, minor changes, adding some deleted plots and optimizing them. However, the plot of the darkening wedding remains unchanged. Of course, any supplements will either be extras or new chapters. I need to think more about this. VIP chapters cannot be deleted. If it takes a long time, you can only modify the permissions.
Third, mid-term revision, delete the wedding plot, then reduce Ran's heroine role to that of a supporting actress, delete the plot of her darkening, temporarily let Queen Shura take over, and make Ran offline for about two volumes. Then the male protagonist kills Queen Shura, restores Ran's consciousness, and everyone is happy. Ran is no longer darkened, and about one-third of Ran's plot will be deleted without affecting the main plot. Let the male protagonist develop his strength and kill the emperor.
In addition, although the book is titled Ran Qingchen, the main plot of the book is the heroine Hong, which will be explained later.
The update timeout will be about two weeks, because I have been really busy recently, so I will try my best to design the plot as reasonably as possible.
Fourth, major changes. (This is unlikely) Modify directly from the first chapter. The plot starts from the first day when the male protagonist travels through time. Write a plot of the acquaintance, love and separation between Qu Hongling and Qu Hongling, and establish the image of Qu Hongling. Then I added the small plots that had been deleted and corrected some of the plots that were wrong.
The advantage of the major change is that the image of Hong is relatively complete and the plot is relatively complete, but it is relatively time-consuming. It will take about four months to completely revise it, after all, it is now one million words long. But the only question is, after four months of suspension of updates, how many readers are left? So this solution is the least likely.
Everyone in the group feels that major changes are unnecessary, and I personally feel that I can’t stick to it, so I’ll take a look at everyone’s opinions first.
Well, that's probably the case. I'll see if I can get a vote and remember the easter egg stamp.
