Written at the End of the Black Book~
Black Sails is over. This is the longest script so far, because what I want to write is the group portrait of Nassau in the 18th century, not only limited to the pirates of the Caribbean at that time, but also the black market merchants on the island, the black slave trade, Whaling ships, privateers (pirate hunters), navy, Spanish treasure ships, including the democratic voting system of pirate ships at that time, etc.
Let everyone experience the charm of that era as much as possible.
The focus of the Black Sails chapter is not on the battle, but more on the game between forces, various choices based on self-interest, betrayal and alliance are the eternal themes of Nassau.
In addition to the need to consult a large amount of information, the most difficult part to deal with is the intricate relationship between characters.
It is very troublesome to explain everyone clearly in the limited space, and at the same time make their fates come together in the end.
This is almost the most stressful period of time for me. Basically, people leave messages in the comment area every day complaining that Black Sail is too long and they don’t want to read it. Pirates are boring and power struggles are boring. I seldom read reviews anymore. (I know that there is an author who wrote Harry Potter fanfic, which is also a masterpiece. The readers of his book commented that the polarization is more serious, and in the end it was sprayed into Zhou Geng as if alive.)
I also thought about ending it hastily, throwing all the foreshadowings and clues there in such a mess, and not closing them, but then I thought about it, wouldn't I have been scolded for so long in this way, and then I was still chasing after you? The more than 4,000 book friends who have subscribed to this book will also think, this story is really meaningless, it has been written so much in a mess, so many characters appearing on the stage, it has nothing to do with it in the end, and in the end the villain suddenly loses his mind, what's ahead of you There was a lot of long-winded, and then he was killed to death just like that. This is simply anticlimactic.
Then the result was that I didn't get it right at both ends, and I was aggrieved when I wrote it myself and looked back at it, thinking what the hell I was writing.
I am also a reader myself, in fact, I can understand everyone's thoughts from a certain aspect.
I always like to compare reading with eating out. Everyone has different tastes. The same dish tastes salty to Shanghainese, but bland to Shaanxiese. Some people like spicy food while others like sweet food. Some people think fast food is enjoyable, while others like to eat with three or five friends in a teahouse.
I understand that everyone wants to eat the dishes that best suit their appetite, but unfortunately this is obviously impossible.
And as a chef, especially a versatile chef (I'm really not bragging about myself), you will inevitably face the following situations.
For example, you cook three Sichuan dishes, and then you look at the people on the table, thinking that if I cook Sichuan dishes next time, they will get tired of it, why don’t I change the whole roast duck for everyone? .
Then you cut the scallions, steam the burritos, drag the roast duck out of the stove, and tell everyone that I will slice the roast duck for you.
So people who like roast duck applauded and said slices of slices, while the other part of the people who only ate Sichuan cuisine were unhappy when they saw it. I, Nima, just ate Sichuan cuisine, and I just ate Nima roast duck.
And after five minutes of filming, another customer blew his hair. Fuck, what’s so good about Nima’s roast duck, let’s end it quickly, it doesn’t matter if the pieces are big or small, I don’t like it anyway.
But the chef’s problem is that the roast duck is now half sliced, and the cake is steamed to half-cooked. Now that these things are served on the table, people who eat roast duck will say that you tm bully me for my lack of knowledge. This is to make me suffocate the second half Do you think I am Yao Chen or Anne Hathaway?
In fact, I can understand the feelings of people who don't like roast duck, because I have also eaten dishes that I don't like in restaurants.
Of course, you can choose to throw the half-sliced roast duck into the trash can, or you can bite the bullet and keep the same knife speed to finish the roast duck like me.
In this way, at least it is still a complete roast duck.
Let’s talk back to the black story. I am quite satisfied with this story. I basically collected all the clues laid down before and kept it quite logical and complete.
Especially in the portrayal of several main characters, I am very happy to see that in the previous chapter, everyone said that Malcolm is a villain who is very personable and has a high IQ. Even when he exits, everyone likes him very much. , I am still a little moved. The bearded version of the pirate king Zhang Heng is the last easter egg.
I also know the shortcoming is too long, but the word count is not enough, the story is very compact, it's not that such a group portrait story cannot be unfolded in such a length.
In short, whether you like it or not, the Black Sails chapter is over, and the Nassau story is over.
The worldview of this book has been extended a little further. (scattered flowers)
I originally wanted to write the next chapter today, but these words are not fast, so thank you for taking the time to watch me talk so much. If someone told me before that writing a book can exercise your ability to resist stress, I would not believe it, but now I I feel like I'm already a great wolf.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone who goes home to celebrate the New Year to pay attention to personal and property safety, especially in crowded places such as train stations, or when there is a lot of physical contact in the queue, you must pay special attention to your wallet and mobile phone. The train station asks you to show love "Deaf" people can enjoy their acting skills, but don't be fooled.
After that, there is no charge for nonsense in this chapter~
In addition, I recommend the new book "Holding Hands" written by Xia. Xia is an author I like very much. Another account of mine who reads books has been subscribing to his books, but his books are quite small and fast-paced. Three View... Well, how should I put it, it is quite to my taste, and those who suit their taste can take it by themselves.
