Some Thoughts Before the Millionth Word

This book is almost 1 million words. After entering mid-September and October, the subscription performance of this book has improved, and the average subscription has exceeded 400, which has given me great confidence.

First of all, thank all new and old book friends for their subscriptions and the rewards from the two masters. Although I still owe DJ Steve two chapters, I will definitely pay it back...

When this book was uploaded, the goal was 500 first orders. I didn’t expect that it would be a bumpy road. I persisted until now to see the hope of achieving it. It is not easy to write a book, and it is not easy to persist in the street. Please read and cherish it...

I would like to respond to some recent comments on this book by some readers, which can also be regarded as answering questions and solving doubts. First of all, I want to say that this book has an outline. I can’t say that all the plots are under control, but at least the major events and turning points are under control.

First of all, some readers complained about the protagonist’s behavioral logic and judgment and association ability. This part of the complaints mainly focused on the relationship between Chen Ke and the golden finger.

The life countdown did give Chen Ke very different and powerful abilities. Under the premise of having these abilities, the protagonist still questioned and urgently wanted to get rid of this thing, which really made people feel that he was very mentally retarded.

But I think when looking at this issue, you should first get rid of your online reading experience and inertial thinking, and look at this matter from the perspective of an ordinary person.

Imagine that an ordinary person has lived a stable life for 24 years, and suddenly one day he is thrown into an unfamiliar environment, and then finds that he can only live for a few hours. Even if this countdown gives a lot of positive superpowers, I don’t think this reverse buff can be accepted by everyone in a short time, right?

In reality, many people feel that the sky is falling when they get cancer, not to mention that they only have a few hours left to live? The protagonist’s thinking logic has always remained at the level of an ordinary person, not the kind of Xiaobai Wenlong Aotian who vowed to change the world immediately after crossing.

I think there are really crossers, even if he will change the world in the future, but at least in the first few months, the psychological level will still be very embarrassing. He must have an arc and a mental and mental growth process, rather than giving people the feeling that God will give him a great mission right away.

Then there are complaints focused on the protagonist’s behavior, that is, although he has a time countdown to force him, he seems to be leisurely and has time to fall in love.

This complaint does make sense. On the one hand, my writing ability is limited and I can't write the kind of anxious feeling in the movie "Crank". On the other hand, I don't want to write the protagonist as a funny psychopath. I pursue the agent style of John Wick and Jason Bourne.

When I started the book and made the setting, I really thought about writing the protagonist as Lao Cui in GTAV, but later gave up because such a character setting and the sense of fate of the whole story are not in line with the urban ghost story, SCP Cthulhu, etc. It's too weird. So I gave up.

There is also a misunderstanding of the female protagonist's figure. I reiterate here... Lucina and Diana are not King Kong Barbie...

Their physique is similar to that of fitness Internet celebrities, that is, they have low body fat, they can't be said to be thin, but they can't see anything when they put on clothes, and they look very strong after taking off their clothes. The obvious muscle contours do not mean that they have to be bodybuilders. The male protagonist is actually similar.

As for the male protagonist's metaphor for the two girls, Diana is a car and Lucina is a tank. This means that Lucina is stronger than Diana, maybe just two or three kilograms heavier than her.

Diana is a typical European white girl, while Lucina is a Latin brown-skinned person. If you have to compare them, you can refer to Han's girlfriend and Dom's girlfriend in "Fast and Furious".

Then there are some questions about the gold finger. Some people say why the protagonist obviously has unlimited murderous aura and unlimited ability, but does not use the blood-fighting flow? Is the protagonist invincible with this combat power?

In fact, it is not like this. Simply put, Chen Ke's battle is a battle with a limit. For enemies of the same level, Chen Ke can directly use the biggest move at the beginning with the opponent's murderous aura, and release his combat power limit instantly and continuously, and directly fight the opponent.

But if the enemy is too powerful and the damage it can withstand exceeds Chen Ke's combat power limit, using the game as an analogy, his output limit is not enough to meet the threshold of this copy, then Chen Ke can only be abused.

Those who can be fought and killed do not need to exchange blood at all, because they will be killed in seconds at the beginning. It's useless to exchange blood if you can't fight it, you can't fight it at all. There will still be concrete melee action descriptions in the battle scenes, because I don't like the kind of battle writing style that calls out the name of the special move, and then describes the power of "trampling the void, the air wave cuts off the mountain".

The biggest controversy is the problem of the plot structure. I have read many reviews of this book. In addition to "the protagonist is too stupid", the second most common one is "the main line and the side lines are mixed together and I don't understand what it is about."

How to say... This is a book about Cthulhu and SCP. Modern new ghost stories also want this kind of foggy feeling. This kind of writing style creates this mysterious and weird atmosphere. For example, the 2006 death world, if I gave you popular science about "death world", "timeline setting", "gods and families" before that copy, do you still think that story is weird?

I tried my best to avoid writing this book as "the protagonist upgrades all the way and chops the gods into slag", because that is too old and weird. I am not a Cthulhu fundamentalist, and this book is not a serious Cthulhu novel, but the atmosphere should be maintained. I have been very careful in combining online literature and Cthulhu elements.

The third thing that people complain about the most is the personality and goals of the protagonist. Some people say that the protagonist jumps back and forth between the savior saint and the emotionless killer, and no one knows what he wants. I think I need to explain this.

Heroes sometimes do shameful things, and villains sometimes have compassion. People are very complicated. It doesn't mean that good people have no flaws, and bad people are bad all the way for no reason.

The protagonist is good to some people because he has crossed paths with those people and is familiar with them, such as Diana and others. In the murder contract, he can pull the trigger without changing his face because he doesn't know the other party at all. Psychologically, he doesn't regard the target as a person, but just a target.

The template of the protagonist has always been an anti-hero. Under the pressure of the countdown of life, it is impossible for him to have any long-term goals. He has always wanted only two things: to extend his life and to make himself normal. Of course, it will be different later. He will complete his arc and become the person he must be, and the same is true for other supporting characters.

Finally, there are some spoilers for the subsequent plot.

The witch's inheritance will be used in this volume. As for who it is for, you can guess.

Soon, a new copy will be opened, with a length similar to that of the old survivors, and the theme is "Bloodborne".

The third volume will have the largest battle in this book so far.

Superman will also appear in this volume.

If you like this book, support it with more monthly tickets and recommendation tickets... post more chapters, give more rewards... and then you can join the group to play together (765662143). It's lonely to write a book alone.
