Thank you to the genuine book friends who read this, thank you to the editor in charge of Loach who has supported you along the way, thank you.
Let's talk about the book.
The earliest version of the book was conceived as a story of an invincible male protagonist abducting a heroine who was in a high position but had 0 strength to run away, and then ran all the way around the mainland.
The bright thread of the story is the running group, that is, everyone runs from one place to another, participating in one adventure and conflict after another, with a thrilling legend. The more important dark line is cultivation, which describes how the heroine started from 0 and was raised by the male protagonist to become a big man.
And then when it came to the last volume, the male protagonist ran away.,When I came back, I found that the female protagonist was looking for him all over the world.,In the end, the two of them lived a life without shame together.。
That's right, this heroine is Theodora, and she didn't plan to write anything about Shura.
It's just that later, considering the entertainment, a lot of new protagonists were added, and Theodora's own sense of plot existence weakened.
Speaking of harems, I didn't want to write about harems from the beginning, in fact, whether a certain book chooses to take the harem route or not should be considered holistically according to the plot concept.
However, now there is an argument that brainless is anti-harem. What's funnier is that I used to read a "Catalogue of Forbidden Books of Magic".,The male owner is through the last article when hemp.,And then a reader commented, "I beg the author to don't want a harem.,Can't accept the harem.。
Little classmate, don't you know that the original Demon Forbidden is a harem theme in itself? If you can't accept the harem, you shouldn't watch the demon ban! Don't look at the magic ban.,What do you think of the magic ban fan?
Of course, the author's reply is also very domineering.,Said I'm a homo.,Can't get out of the original work.,You go directly to Kamachi and Ma Gai!
The original idea of writing this book was because after reading "Full-time Master" and "Amber Sword", I felt that the master leading the group and the Western fantasy adventure could become a combined theme. As for the stitching of science fiction and Western fantasy, the inspiration actually comes from the medieval warhammer.
In fact, when I actually started writing later, all kinds of questions that I hadn't considered came one after another, and I was a little overwhelmed.
The first is the issue of contracting. At the beginning, the book was classified as fantasy, but it was rejected for 100,000 words; Later, I changed to game classification.,It took about 200,000 words to come to the station to sign a short contract.,So it's equivalent to people have already gone through a whole set of recommendations and entered the shelf link.,I'm still running naked this one.,The results are so bad that they can't be repeated.。
But I still stuck to the book. Such an author, everyone must remember that character is absolutely guaranteed!
In terms of plot, reader reviews for each volume are mixed. Two readers even wrote me long reviews saying that the plot of one volume was simply wonderful, while the other volume was written like garbage...... However, the opinions of these two readers are quite opposite, and their words are quite sincere, which I find quite confusing.
Of course, readers can express their hearts directly, and I will read all the comments. It's just that as the author I have to be responsible for the book, so I can only choose whether to adopt the reader's opinion according to the situation.
Until the end of the book, I think at least the plot has not collapsed, and everything is going according to the pre-determined outline. As for some of the problems criticized by readers, many of them are problems with the design of the original outline itself, not the later writing collapse.
The first question is about supertravel. Asker originally played a holographic online game, a virtual reality game with a fidelity of nearly 99%. For him, the difference between the other world and the game world is that there is no system menu, so it is normal for him to confuse the two.
If you are interested, you can take a look at the old movie "Inception", which talks about the same problem.
It's just that some readers say they can't accept this, because it's not a normal way to travel through the other world. The general routine of the starting point is that the male protagonist crossed.,Immediately accept the fact of crossing and substitute the original owner's thinking.,Even immediately treat the original owner's parents as his own parents.,The original owner's family died and he desperately risked himself to help take revenge.。
This common routine is not used in many places in this book: for example, the protagonist is not an orphan, he has a mother, so he wants to go back, so he does not accept the emotions of the girls at first.
This setting is not to be different, but to find a harem.
Unless the male protagonist is disdained home from the beginning, there will inevitably be a reason for opening a harem. The common routine of Riman is "the male protagonist is a sluggish central air conditioner",On the one hand, it's good to everyone.,On the other hand, I don't realize that everyone likes him.,It's already a harem when I find out...... This is so fake, is there really such a stupid person?
This book was changed to "The male protagonist can't accept everyone's confession", and by the time it's acceptable, "it's too late". In many places, Asker looks like a straight man, but he is actually pretending to be stupid, and if you look closely, you will find that there are hints in many places.
The second problem is the main one: since Asker is designed to not accept any girl's confession. As the plot lengthens, everyone's tolerance for the plot is gradually decreasing. To put it bluntly, I can bear it if you hold back hundreds of thousands of words, but you can't even hold a candy if you hold back millions of words...... I wonder if you, the author, are playing tricks on me, is this really a harem text?
In terms of data, there is a decline in follow-ups. So I ...... the plot a little bit Compressed a little, just a little, estimated about five or six hundred thousand words, and led to the last volume early. Of course, the outline hasn't changed, it's just quickened the pace. Specifically, it started with the position where the "Acceleration Program" debuted.
The word acceleration plan refers not only to everyone's acceleration of upgrades, but also to the acceleration of the rhythm of the plot.
The third issue is the controversial last volume.
Some readers think that the last volume is not enough for the Shura field, but the Shura field is too strong and some people don't like it.
After all, considering that the girls are all political figures at this time, and the interests of political leaders are paramount, it is impossible to fight to the death with another giant as soon as they make a move, which will seem brainless. In fact, the war between Eleanor and Sidlifa, many imperial knights and Norman warriors have died, which is already the limit of the Shura field in this book.
In fact, at the beginning, there were several versions of different intensities, and the more tragic ones were stabbing each other, breaking arms, and even slaughtering the city while others were away, etc., but in the end it was decided to write the current version.
The main thing is that I don't want to make it too bloody in case of harmony. In addition, judging from the results, every time I really write about "aunt fighting", the subscription has dropped significantly, and it seems that most readers prefer to be jealous, fight for husbands, and the level of yin and yang weirdness, and the fight of real knives and guns is not sensitive.
Ye Gong is a good dragon, just like many people think that Sick Jiao is very cute, but when Sick Jiao really goes to get a knife......
On the question of active and passive, some readers feel that the male protagonist has been demoted, this ...... In addition to the few chapters promised to Eleanor in the early stage, it was indeed confused by the knight Ji Dabai Changmei, and the subsequent various passive pretending to be stupid were all because it was more advantageous to do so.
After all, I haven't seen each other for more than six years, and the first thing I said when I came back was "I want them all", which will definitely be beaten to death. Spend time alone for a while, brush back the favorability that has fallen after not seeing each other for six years, and refill everyone with it, which is definitely a necessary condition for the harem line.
Everyone brushes over, so how do you switch between them? Passive switching, such as when I was snatched away, I pretended not to react. Believe it or not, at least I made a gesture.
Or is he brushing this girl's favorability, and suddenly takes the initiative to go with that girl? It's too disdainful!
Initiative is crumb! The more active you are, the more disdainful you are, and pretending to be passive can also deceive people...... Anyone who has a girlfriend knows that girls need to be coaxed very much. The same thing, even if it is the same result, you only need to change the wording, change the process of presentation, and she may change from "not accepting" to "accepting".
If you don't believe it, go find a girlfriend and try it out.
The fourth problem is the confusion of the power system. Although there was no feedback from readers, I found it very difficult to describe the battle scenes.
On the one hand, there are too many people, and on the other hand, there are too many various sequence abilities and law skills, plus transcendent items...... The combinations that need to be thought about are so complex that they waste too much time, and most readers don't like to read them.
It bothered me a lot.
At the end of this book, the average order is about 4,000, although it can't be compared with the authors of the first book, but it is a relatively satisfactory commercial achievement for me.
As for the quality of the book, my evaluation system is about the passing line, but as mentioned above, it is far from perfect.
A lot of feedback from readers...... In fact, I have already thought of a better solution not long after your feedback, but it is a pity that the outline or the reason for the death of the existing plot cannot be changed.
This is the end of the story of "The Green Sword", as little Lilith says in the final chapter: "From now on, everyone lives happily ever after." Of course, in terms of the lifespan of a demigod, a happy life without shame will grow to the point of unimaginable.
As for the new book, the new book will be a more exciting story, learning some of the lessons and regrets of the Azure Sword, there will be a more concise and clear power upgrade system suitable for pretending, more distinctive and characteristic heroines, a more complex and strange world background, and a more reasonable and exciting plot and rhythm......
I promise to write in this direction, and I can't promise to satisfy everyone, but at least I have to satisfy myself first.
But there is one thing I can assure you:
The male protagonist of the new book will never force a straight man of steel to 2 million words.
