Finished Testimonials (Part 1)

I was originally scheduled to take a break and I will write this tomorrow, but maybe the timing is sensitive. Many friends came to ask me with various text messages and private messages. I was thinking of taking a good nap and relaxing the excitement at the end. The phone kept beeping. Beep beep, I... still don't let people sleep.

The end of May was originally scheduled. I said this a long time ago, but it was impossible to accurately estimate it at the time. In general, there must be enough flexibility in May and June, right? , If it weren't for the epidemic, I would travel to Spain in a few days.

Also, my contract was signed at the end of 2016, and by the beginning of 2022, there is still one book left, which looks like 3 million words. The new book must be the starting point.

Having said that, let's go back to the book itself.

If I choose a more reasonable development after the seventh chapter, which makes the plot much faster, and can't do a fuller and more detailed development, then the eighth chapter starts from the first chapter and is under my control. I have already thought about what to write about each piece, where to turn, and how to end the ending. There is no such thing as a sudden acceleration of the plot, and there is no problem of cutting off a lot of branch lines.

I thought about this ending before I opened the book. After experiencing all kinds of passivity, anticipation, confusion, and wandering, everyone in the Tarot Club finally got out of their comfort zone and faced the world and faced all kinds of difficulties. Klein and Azik completed a role reincarnation.

At the end, the contrast between weirdness and innocence, darkness and sunshine, darkness and new life, belongs to the strange picture with a little bit of Cthulhu and a little bit of warmth.

As for the foreshadowing of the five gold coins, the experiences of everyone in the Tarot Society, and other pits that do not involve the main line of this book, of course, they are reserved for the second part. I wrote it so clearly. The last part is both the ending and the prologue.

Well, the second part is from when Xiao Ke fell asleep, or earlier, until he woke up.

This was all decided before the book opened. Why did I consider the second volume at that time? First, I felt that this setting was too huge and could be written too much. The sidelines are long, scattered and tedious, and bloated. Second, the growth curve of the Tarot Club cannot keep up with Klein. If they are given too many sidelines, more stories, and their improvement is reasonable enough, it will impact the structure of the main line. , there is also the problem of no distinction between priority and secondary. If you don't give it, let them grow and play a role at a critical moment. There will definitely be a large number of friends who feel that one person has the right to go to heaven, and that they get everything too easily.

So, after I weighed and combined all aspects, I was determined to write at least Mystery 2. In this way, this part can follow the plot calmly without having to run the map all over the world, while the Tarot Club members only start the first half of their lives. , complete the transformation and growth, and then leave the comfort zone to interpret a more exciting story and life in the second part.

To me,

This is also a challenge, how to bring everyone back into this world after a few years, and how to allow new readers to read fluently and unrestrictedly without having seen Mystery 1.

I have no experience in writing a series of books before, and I have no experience in writing a second book under the same world view. On the one hand, I did not consider this issue when setting the previous books, lacking enough space to expand, and on the other hand, I was afraid Repeating the past routines cannot break through, but this fear itself is also a limitation. I think I have found my own writing methodology and I can try to challenge it.

As I said before, my slogan, no, my motto is:

"Never satisfied, always challenged.

For the second part, I haven't figured out the protagonist and cut-in, but I have some plot pictures in my mind now:

It was a dark line formed by the various attempts of the Tarot Society to awaken Xiao Ke, and the different people represented by five gold coins and an iron cigarette case.

He might meet someone who lit a cigarette, talked about the hunters in the past, might occasionally catch a glimpse of half a beautiful face, might hear news of the discovery of a new continent from overseas, might deal with the kings on the sea, Maybe they will explore the legends of the treasures that have not been revealed at sea, and maybe they will expand with all kinds of "traversers" and "sneakers".

The specific style will be determined when the time comes. In short, the setting leaves a lot of space for the second part, and I am not worried about not having anything to write.

As for the doomsday, it is definitely not something that can be solved by one, and in order to make the doomsday in the second part more oppressive, I decided to give the mother god an epic enhancement. The reason for giving birth to a child, behind all this, is the distortion of human nature or the loss of morality... As for the reinforcement plan, it will probably be put in the third part related to the Western Continent, but I may not write it, seriously.

Regarding the Western Continent, I actually didn’t make any settings before, just left the interface, the remaining seven source qualities, and a small amount of Beyonder characteristics that do not include Sequence 1, uniqueness, what kind of world and an upgrade system will be constructed Woolen cloth?

I've basically settled on my thoughts recently, and I know what kind of settings I want to make, hehe.

Well, the righteous path system with Origin Quality as the core, the sideways path with Beyonder characteristics as the foundation, and the lower nines with their own parts.

The former is based on the Taoist idea of ​​"shouzhuan". Well, shouzhuan means that you have been recognized by heaven and become a member of this system. You can happily summon gods such as Liuding and Liujia to help you fight, but there is no shouzhuan. Wild Taoist, you want to summon Liuding and Liujia, the god of land and mountains, why should people care about you? Therefore, in the talisman, the talisman and the talisman are separated, and in one word, it is within the system. Then, if the Heavenly Court and the Pure Land are changed to Origin Quality, the whole setting will become lively and strange.

As I wrote this, I was hungry, and my wife urged me to go out. . After all, it was a temporary decision to write, um, come here first, I will continue this testimonial tomorrow, talk about the ideas and gains and losses of the creation of the book Mystery, and talk about my creative methodology.

In addition, I would like to thank the big guy of Wutong for the reward. I was scared to start reading just now. Also, I will regularly serialize a 20,000-30,000 episode here, and then an irregular episode. I didn’t plan to write it, but Now I find that there are many things that can be written that are not related to the second part, such as Xiao Ke's sleeping dream, some episodes of the fourth era, and so on.

As for why Tianzun's backhand is disturbed, I have already made some hints:

As the "Magic Mirror" Arrodes came out of the Chaos Sea, why did he have to follow Klein, and why did Klein take it with him when he was sleeping?

Also, the physical book has been reissued. I like the cover this time, and the content is only revised for some online vocabulary and words that are not in the dictionary. For example, he, you can go to my Weibo for the specific purchase address. The deity of the squid who loves diving, you can follow me from time to time in the special episodes", the anime avatar.

Well, I will continue this testimonial (below) tomorrow.
