Chapter 444 One Million Word Summary Chapter (Questions and Answers and Plot Summary)
Title: The first concluding chapter of this book (you can skip it if you don’t want to read it, it won’t affect the plot).
There are always readers who say that the author's words at the end of the chapter are just watering down, so this time, in order to prove that I am not watering down at the end of the chapter, I am going to write a single chapter to summarize it for you.
A total of nine chapters were updated yesterday, with more than 20,000 words, which is a bit long. The first six chapters are from the last day of the extra update event (April 1st), and the last three chapters are from tomorrow (April 2nd).
When Chapter 442 was released, the number of words in the book had reached 1 million. Starting from 100,000 words, I basically maintained an average of five updates per day. This update speed should be considered pretty good.
(There is a reading rate standard for 1 million words. I hope everyone will not skip Chapter 442, 嘤嘤嘤)
Originally I wanted to use this single chapter to summarize the plot of Tianxi Mansion, but after thinking about it, I decided to summarize it as a whole book and share it with everyone.
In fact, every time I wrote the author's words at the end of the chapter, I was afraid that it would affect your reading experience, because those who read the book are not only those who read it every day, but also those who read it from beginning to end in one sitting.
Fortunately for book readers, I may see my author appear at the end of a chapter every two or three days, and I think: "Although this young man Er Daomao is a bit arrogant, because he is handsome and updates quickly, I just
Forgive him for now."
But after reading more than 400 chapters in one go, I am afraid that if I have to read it dozens of times in a row, I will probably feel that there is something wrong with me as the author.
(I say this to prevent readers from saying "You are the only one who has too many things to do all day long". Here is a unified response: "Hey hey hey... I just have too many things to do")
…
Let’s start with a summary while responding to the questions that everyone has previously expressed in the book review area and qun.
1. Has the combat strength collapsed?
Answer: No.
Some readers think that reaching higher levels means that one's combat power has collapsed, and some readers think that other people are stronger than the protagonist, or that the protagonist is not particularly powerful than others, which means that one's combat power has collapsed.
But this is just your feeling. You really want the protagonist to become powerful and become invincible to kill the enemies in front of you, but you ignore the process of the protagonist becoming stronger.
In fact, Lu Chuan's step-by-step transformation from a hot chick who struggled to advance to the immortal class took several stages. He was growing at each stage. Not only was his cultivation getting stronger, but also his position among his peers at each stage.
The locations are all different.
Overall, the combat structure of the entire book is very, very stable.

2. Why was there so much love and emphasis on genius in the early stage, but then the battle for the holy way was so intellectually depressing in the later stage? It makes me feel disconnected.
Answer: The battle for the holy way does not subdue wisdom, and it is not actually divided. The reason why you feel separated may be because you skipped the chapter too quickly and ignored the foreshadowing I laid. I have hinted at the union many times before.
The alliance may have deep meaning, but you may just feel that it is me, the author, who has forcibly enlightened them.
There is no conflict between emphasizing the struggle between genius and the holy way, because I have emphasized competition since the protagonist first entered school, and every subsequent plot actually emphasizes competition.
Moreover, valuing talent and competition are not contradictory.
By the way, let’s talk about the issue of [reducing intelligence].
Everyone's understanding of Jiangzhi is different. Many readers think that the character's "emotional" is Jiangzhi. A typical manifestation is the freshman trial plot. Lu Chuan was particularly angry because Sha Tongtian didn't take his request seriously, and threatened him with anger.
Sha Tongtian, many people say that the protagonist is stupid in this plot, but in fact it is the protagonist’s normal reaction.
And so on, there are also supporting characters who kneel down and beg for mercy before dying, and some readers complain about it. This is more normal. Kneeling down before dying and begging for mercy is a logical performance. After all, there are only a few people who can face death without changing their expressions.

3. Why are you so watery?
Answer: Actually, I am not good at all. On the contrary, I am a writer who is particularly obsessed with narrative rhythm.
Every time I got stuck it was because I felt there was a problem with the rhythm of the narrative, not because I couldn't figure out the plot.
When the plot is too tight, I will be afraid that you will be tired from reading, and I will try to slow down the pace. If the plot is too slow, I will be worried that you will be even more tired from reading, and I will try to speed up the pace quickly.
In fact, sometimes this entanglement is completely unnecessary, because many of you readers will skip chapters and ignore my carefully designed rhythm.
But I still choose to do it.
Because I think authors and readers are a two-way selection process. There are very few readers who can read a million words from the first word.
Some readers can't stand what I said before, such as they feel that their fighting power has collapsed, they feel fragmented, they feel that the main sentence is too clever, etc., so they give up reading the book.
Of course I will feel sorry for this, but there is nothing I can do about it, because the plot I write is also screening the readers. I like to write like this and think it is good, but you think my writing is rubbish, which means that the atmosphere is not congenial.
This cannot be forced.

4. Did you get stuck on purpose?
Answer: Except for [Surprisingly] at the beginning, I really didn’t get stuck in the text on purpose. I would be much more anxious than you if I didn’t write the previous chapter and post the next chapter quickly.

5. Why sometimes I think your plots are a bit cliche, but you can always give me a new life?
Answer: Thank you for the compliment, Grandpa, the reader. Indeed, some plots are cliche and unavoidable, but I have been working hard to avoid stereotyped characters in the book.
I try hard to make everyone more reasonable in every plot.
For example, the Tianxi Mansion plot that is about to end is a very long plot. It has already begun to lay the groundwork for the plots of the Xuanhuang lineage, the Meteor Project, and the White Ape King. It can be regarded as a deeper development of the world view.
Wang Gu, Yue Qing, Liu Jingsheng, Hong Sheng, and Wang Chun all acted based on their respective positions.
Including Zhao Jiangang, the truck driver in the previous chapter, a caring person who is full of ideas about the Holy Mother and does not eat the fireworks of the world, Yuan Ziwei, a hot-blooded newcomer of the Immortal Cultivation Bureau, and He Wei from the Dog Protection Institute, they all have their own codes of conduct.
Of course, this is all what I am trying to do, and what I show and what readers feel will definitely not be as much as I imagined.
Perhaps among many characters, only a few of them have behavioral patterns that are familiar to you and touch you, such as Wang Gu, a typical example of low self-esteem among adolescent boys, or Yue Qing, the template for a certain historical figure.
My shortcoming is obvious, that is, I am too obsessed with long plots. Therefore, at the beginning of the plot, readers will often be confused. They don’t know what I am doing or what the protagonist is doing. There will be many people in this time period.
Keep reading, and then stop reading as you keep reading.
And usually at this time, because the plot has just begun, updates are not allowed to be too fast, and the loss of readers is even more serious.
But how can I put it, I can't help it... because I don't have a specific outline for writing a book, only a general direction, some characters I want to write about, and some flashes of inspiration...
There are also advantages to writing this way. The first advantage is that when the seemingly useless foreshadowing is suddenly pulled out and brought together, the plot will be very compact, and it will be reasonably compact, which will look very enjoyable.
Moreover, in a long plot, there are more characters that can be written, and the emotions of the protagonist will be richer.
The second advantage is that I can modify branch lines that are not suitable for the current plot at any time. For example, many characters who were originally planned to be killed, I wrote that I felt that they were so pitiful that I did not want to kill them.
These vivid characters that I worked hard to create, coupled with my strange writing style, in the end, even if the framework of the story is old, the effect is different.
Of course, most of my plots are still trying to break away from old routines.

6. Is there a heroine? Why are there so few emotional scenes?
Answer: There is currently no heroine. There may be one in the future, or there may not be one from beginning to end.
I don't really agree with the lack of emotional drama.
Although Lu Chuan is a stickler when it comes to relationships between men and women, there are a lot of relationships between men in this book.
For example, there are many feelings between Lu Chuan and several of his good friends, Wang Gu's father's feelings for Wang Gu, and Lu Chuan's sympathy with other people.

7. Why is your update time unstable?
Answer: Because I’m so stupid, my coding speed is ranked low among many authors. For them, it may only take two or three hours to update more than 10,000 times a day, but I may have to sit in front of the computer for a whole day.
The continuous burst of updates at the end of March has obviously become too much for the past few days. After that, the update speed may be slightly slowed down to three or four updates, and occasionally five updates.
Because the update was too fast, I missed over 1,000 yuan in Tomato rewards for 800,000 words. I cried to death.

8. How old are you, Lao Dao?
Answer: This topic is too private and I refuse to answer.

9. Is it possible to add more gifts to the gift?
Answer: Under normal circumstances, I can't do it because I work very hard every day. If I do it, I have to sacrifice sleep time. I'm afraid of death.
When I think I'm good enough, I may start adding updates again, but it probably won't happen in the near future.

10. I saw item 10. Although you are not as handsome as me, you have worked hard to write so many words. Can I give you a gift?
Answer: Thank you, boss! The boss ranks among the immortals! His longevity will be equal to that of heaven!
