The Third Life Is over + I'm Taking a Day Off (Come and See if You're Still Raising It!)

I will take a day off tomorrow, hoping that everyone can read a single chapter, and then start slaughtering. It is too outrageous to raise a million words in half a year.

Then, I will update the three missing chapters tomorrow together with the chapters of the day on May 3rd.

After taking a day off, let me talk about the summary of the two lives.

I wrote Baishi Town for two consecutive lives, in fact, I just want to deepen the impression, so that everyone can remember such a name and such a place, instead of forgetting it in a blink of an eye.

Due to the writing skills and the dark background, there are actually very few things that the protagonist can do in Baishi Town, and since almost no one is willing to teach the protagonist knowledge, new information can only be discovered from the perspective of God and the protagonist's own exploration, which is indeed boring.

I have said enough in the second life. I originally wanted to speed up the pace in the third life and not explain too much, but everyone said that the level has dropped and it is hard to understand, so I had to write some more explanations... Although it seems meaningless, there will still be another group of people complaining that there are too many explanatory texts.

This is really helpless. With my level, I really can't have both.

In short, after writing these two lives, I am actually quite satisfied with them. They didn't break down, and I basically wrote what I wanted to write, which is quite difficult for a flop.

However, if I want to talk about shortcomings, there are obviously many. For example, the third life should have written more about the growth of characters, the development of the Tomorrow Society, the demons that appeared in the catastrophe, etc., but due to the length of the article, I basically reduced them. If I really want to write all of them, it would start with hundreds of pages. I guess everyone is waiting to criticize me...

It is worth mentioning that when writing the third life, I discussed with my friends whether to write a fast-paced or slow-paced one.

My friend suggested that I write a fast-paced one, directly starting with the catastrophe, and then use various events to lead the people of Baishi Town out to solve them one by one.

I also agree with this idea. Isn't reading a novel fun? Of course, it is better to have a fast pace and take revenge early.

But I thought about it for a long time, and I couldn't think of a good reason to lead the people of Baishi Town out. I felt that I couldn't convince myself logically, so I chose a slow pace and wrote it slowly, leading to the situation of the catastrophe little by little.

Then the catastrophe changed. Originally, this was a large-scale disaster. If you don't enter Baishi Town, you will have to survive in a dangerous environment. Then, like the doomsday text, you will fight monsters, upgrade, collect materials, create various magic tools, and draw various talismans, which are more individual.

But for the same reason, too many words are needed, the rhythm is too slow, and it feels like the group has no meaning to solve Baishi Town by one person, even in the early stage, so I didn't choose this route, but postponed it to the fourth life.

Looking back carefully, most of the time the direction of the story is limited by ability. Some directions are very good, but I can't write them. Once I write, they will collapse. I can only play to my strengths and avoid my weaknesses.

This is very embarrassing. Sometimes when I read some comments, I really want to tell him in his face-I'll give you the pen, you go and write.

This sentence is not to say that the reader's level is not good, but that the plot is not something you can write if you want to. It's not as simple as imagined.

Speaking of this, another shortcoming of this book comes out again, that is, there are too many settings.

I wrote more than 100 chapters before, and countless people asked about the settings. I felt that many questions had to be answered, otherwise it would be unclear. As a result, I accumulated nearly 300 questions.

Recently, I thought about it and deleted them all. I was entangled in the settings so I wanted to answer them, but if I answered them, other readers would have no room to speak and discuss. It’s better to delete them. Just read them with doubts. Anyway, you will understand them later.

I can only say that the huge number of settings is my fatal flaw. Maybe I like to write innovative works, so I will kill a lot of brain cells to think about the settings and worldview. I must feel interesting before I write. My biggest wish has always been to build a complete world, a world suitable for writing fan fiction.

Maybe I was influenced by those pioneering monsters, such as Infinite Horror. In addition to the eye-catching settings, the most powerful thing about the pioneering works is the good plot. The settings are quietly integrated into them without the need for long-winded narration. I hope I can slowly integrate the settings into the story naturally in the future.

The fourth life will be the story of Yuntian Lingzong. In the Luo Dynasty, the town is a military town, serving as a node to resist demons, and the city is the center of a huge area, with a wider range of interference and more stories to play. This life is the authentic cultivation of immortals. I will try my best to write it well, but this life will probably be much longer.

That’s all.
