Mayfly Seeks the Way—Summary and Remarks on Volume Thirteen

First, it is customary to summarize the results.

"" has been written until the end of the thirteenth volume, with 73,057 orders in total, and 88,000 more have been read, with a total order of 163.36 million.

There are seven hundred and ninety-seven alliance leaders, including two gold alliance leaders and thirty-four silver alliance leaders.

Various data are still rising steadily, and the rise is not slow.

For a novel of eight million words, this is simply a miracle.

…

Review the writing of this volume.

In the entire "Chao Wen Dao" volume, from the beginning to the present, I haven't added many updates.

Because I told myself that the most important thing at this stage is to make this super long novel come to fruition smoothly. Performance and other things are no longer the most important thing. Filling in the gaps is the foundation, and other things can be left to chance.

The big holes filled in this volume include martial arts development, the Jinghai Project, the Long River Dragon Lord, and the secrets of the Middle Ages. The small holes are filled in densely.

Sun Xiaoman, a martial arts monk who appeared in the first volume, connected with Wang Ao, the pioneer of martial arts. From the first volume to the latest volume, to Wang Ao's punch, completing the development of martial arts. This is a straight line, although it spans

Thousands of mountains and rivers, there is no difficulty in writing.

The whole Jinghai plan has been laid out since the second volume, when Jiang Wang first met Xu Xiangqian and the giant turtle of Youguo appeared for the first time, until now in the thirteenth volume, spanning seven million words, with looming connections and flows.

At the corners of different stories, they finally meet in the sea.

Jingguo, Qiguo, Youguo, Haizu, Yinguan, Jiangwang, the intersection of multiple perspectives and multiple clues. It also connects the nine sons of the Xihun family, Changhe Dragon Palace, Renhuang Lieshan, and medieval stories.

How to fully express it in an increasingly narrow writing space requires more thinking.

Finally, the world is cut down to end this scene.

The chaos of heaven and earth caused by the decline of heaven and earth indirectly led to the death of Li Longchuan and the failure of Jiang Wang to prove the Tao with his strength.

Jiang Wang met Li Longchuan because of Xu Xiangqian, and he also first came into contact with the giant turtle of the Jinghai Project at that time. In the end, Li Longchuan died in the aftermath of the Jinghai Project, on the back of the giant turtle.

The scene where Tian Anping raised the knife and said, "You started the war," my writing personality thought that it had a sense of beauty. It would be very beautiful in the movie screen.

The fallacies and unknowability of fate, the paradox and the predetermined destiny are the reasons why this world is moving.

Chekhov said that if a gun appears at the beginning of a story, then there will definitely be a gunshot at the end of the story.

In fact, in the serialization of online articles, what many readers want is that a gun appears on the first day, and the gun should go off the next day. Even if a gun is shown in the first paragraph, it should go off in the second paragraph.

"Chao Wen Dao" and "I'm Like a God Coming" are the same to some extent.

The titles of these two volumes tell you that the protagonist will definitely come to God/Evolve the Way.

So readers will be very much looking forward to the arrival of that moment.

Therefore, when the protagonist delays in finding his way, the readers will become very irritated and become more and more irritated.

Every day the questions are “Has God come?” “There is no God.” “Someone else’s God has come.”

"Did it grow?" "No." "Look at the wool."

In fact, the readers of "" are already considered to be patient. After all, they have been reading for so long. Everyone knows each other a little bit, and there is a certain amount of trust. If I were to read other novels, I'm afraid I would have rebelled in Chapter 10. Read "

"Chao Wen Tao", but it was only halfway through the trip that he started to rebel...

I sometimes thought that maybe it would be better to change the title of the volume. Don't let the gun out, maybe readers will be more patient.

But there really is no more appropriate volume title than this.

"Appropriate" trumps all reasons.

so……

So be it. Whatever!

There are three places where you can end the volume in this volume.

Once, Jiang Wang went to sea in the state of heaven and human. When he completely tortured Tian Anping and forced the lunatic to cover his neck and leave, his mood was actually a state of ending. Many readers also felt that it was over. Jiang Wang also

You can break through the human state due to extreme anger and reach the peak of enlightenment. It is not a bad result. It is best to kill Tian Anping at the same time. That can also add more impression points because of the refreshing feeling of revenge.

The second time was when Jiang Wang proved the Tao with his strength. He created an unprecedented record, completely surpassed the legend of Xiang Fengqi, pointed his sword at Li Yi, and completed the reverberation of Zhen Guanwai.

The wrapping here is simply perfect.

Most readers also expect this.

From "A real person should crown himself" to "Li Yi!", the readers' emotions have reached their peak.

In fact, the catch-up reading at that time had reached 87625. In other words, I spent twelve more days, wrote thirteen more chapters, wasted so much effort, and received so many scolds. In terms of intuitive results,

There hasn’t been much change. The ups and downs of a few thousand readings are normal, and a few hundred is nothing.

Just like I saw a reader's message yesterday - couldn't I have written it like this earlier? I have to go around such a paragraph, and I will get so much scolding in vain.

That makes sense.

The perpetrator doesn't think the violence is wrong, he just thinks your posture is wrong.

Before the chapter "Above the Sky", I had been exhausted for several days because of some things in my life. At that time, I just talked about it with the readers of Mengqun.

The night I wrote "Above the Sky", I wrote until about two o'clock in the morning. After lying in bed, my mind was very active, and I didn't fall asleep until four o'clock. I didn't dare to sleep at that time, because I was afraid that I wouldn't have time to revise and update it when I woke up. I thought

It was better to practice before going to sleep, so I simply got up. I was not in good spirits, so I continued to practice intermittently until about seven o'clock before going to bed.

Maybe my body is really not as good as before.

After staying up all night, a person becomes useless, and immediately starts to have a headache. The forehead is twitching, and the nerve at the temple is twitching at random, and I can't sleep for several nights. Then my tonsils become inflamed, and it hurts to swallow.

I also have fever and cough! I feel pain and soreness after coughing.

Of course, I am not saying this to win sympathy. There are many people who are sick and trying to make things worse. This is your job.

I just want to show off to my friends how awesome I am, how strong my willpower is, and how good I am at writing.

In "Above Heaven", there were two paths before me.

One is to end the paper like this. As you can see, after receiving Li Yi's sword, it is enough to let Jiang Wangjuedian take advantage of the situation. It is only a matter of adding a few hundred words, which is not difficult. At most, let Jiang Zhenjun

Go to the foreign tribes and complete the Tianjing City Proposal, which will not exceed 2,000 words.

The reader's emotions can be completely vented at that time.

I can get a happy holiday, readers' joy and satisfaction, and good results at that time. And almost no one will think there is anything wrong.

The other way is like this now, dragging the sick body and starting a twelve-day torturous journey. To close the heaven-human line from the first chapter to the one hundredth chapter, to achieve enlightenment in one autumn, and to complete the "Chao Wen Dao"

Theme. Make an expression that runs throughout.

Every time you meet the readers' expectations, it means you need to do better to win back the readers' hearts.

So on this road, I need to face——

The difficulty of writing increases, the physical discomfort, the weakening of energy, the dissatisfaction of readers who are expected to be intercepted, and the endless curse attacks from those people who have no lower limit.

In fact, I am not sure that I can do better after holding down this level of expectation. I just know that there is such a road ahead, and I think it is better, but I have not arrived, and I am not sure.

Can my energy and physical strength support me to get there?

And once I fail to do it, I know very well what will be waiting for me.

The pros and cons of these two paths are so clear that for an adult with a normal IQ, choosing is not a problem.

The only problem is-

As for why love is so serious, this is not a multiple-choice question.

This was never a choice.

The first certification of heavenly beings is for the last thirteen certifications, which is for the seven emotions and six desires. The heavenly state is to correspond to the demonic state. When the name "Chao Wen Dao" came up, I was thinking of the spirit of hearing the Dao from morning to night.

Is a mayfly only born for a moment? The moment passed by you may also be the life of a certain mayfly seeking enlightenment!

So what's the reason to stop me from writing this?

You know.

No one, no voice can change me.

I always know how I want to write and how I know how to write.

From the beginning to now, the only change for me is that I understand better what I will face when I write this way.

Then I face it.

Then I continue to write like this.

It may be right, it may be wrong. It doesn't matter. It's what I want most.

Human life is so short, and the creative life will be even shorter. I just want to write the works I want to write. Otherwise, this life will be too boring. Otherwise, if I sit in front of the computer day after day, I will be too withered.

In fact, this volume is more than just the ending.

It was the same when martial arts was established.

When Wang Ao found Wang Zhao and said, "I took it, two clears. If I can't take it, two clears." I turned the camera.
