I don’t know why today, but the Liangbaikai I drank was a bit bitter, which reminded me of the salty sea water Gaoji swallowed.
Looking back at the writing of the entire ninth volume, it was truly a dream.
The chapter of Mirror Flower, Water Moon can be divided into two parts, the Demon Realm Chapter and the Mysterious Realm Chapter.
Although I had already expected the difficulty of writing and was progressing strictly according to the writing plan, it was indeed more difficult than expected.
The Demon Realm chapter is a completely new way of writing for me. The protagonist barely shows his face and can only watch, while the entire Demon Realm setting is laid out.
The first half may be classified as "behind the scenes"?
But it can't write about the fun behind the scenes. It can't write about playing big chess, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, jumping out and overturning the chessboard... none of it can be written.
Because our Jiang Wang cannot jump out of the mirror world, he has to say goodbye when he comes out.
Compared to the vast number of strong men in the entire demon clan, he doesn't have to pretend to be a pig. He just has to be eaten.
And he was targeted by the demon world’s will throughout the whole process, and his chess game was destined to be fruitless.
When the protagonist does not appear, and a new character is used to advance the story, and a large number of settings need to be laid out, and there are so many restrictions, how to write the story in a good-looking and attractive way is a question I must think about.
So after Jiang Wang suddenly fell, I first had a battle in Wu'an City, using the collision between Zuo Xiao, Jiang Mengxiong, Yuan Xianting, and Zhu Yi to raise my expectations.
Many characters related to Jiang Wang are used to jointly outline the waiting for Jiang Wang to return home. This puts readers in the atmosphere of expectation and waiting.
Then the picture of the demon world began to unfold slowly.
Of course, laying down the foreshadowing while outlining those expectations is also what a qualified author should do.
As the most powerful opponent of the human race and the old enemy that has been inherited from ancient times, the demon race is too important and must be highlighted. Otherwise, the whole story will be lost.
But Jiang Wang couldn't move, which was the biggest limitation. He could only sit at the bottom of the well, waiting for the sun to rise and the moon to set. He used a narrow perspective to observe everything in the demon world.
This is a chapter that is destined to be depressing, very depressing. Because all Jiang Wang's efforts will fail, and all plans will come to nothing. He keeps hoping, keeps despairing, keeps working hard, keeps being knocked down... and keeps repeating this process.
Therefore, I tried to write more relaxedly and use a relatively humorous writing style to alleviate this depression.
But in fact, apart from Chai Ah Si's overconfidence, Yuan Mengji's only true stupidity, and Yu Xin's live broadcast of swearing... the undertone of this part of the story is very cruel.
When the Shenxiao Bureau unfolds, the story reaches its climax.
This is the most difficult dungeon to write so far. There are so many characters, the clues are extremely complex and entangled with each other, and it travels infinitely through time and space.
Let us review their names now -
Xiong Sansi (Rao Bingzhang), Yu Xin, Zhu Lanruo, Zhu Xi, Yang Yu, Quan Xihua, Shu Jialan, Lu Qilang, Yuan Mengji, Chai Asi, Zhu Dali, Snake Guyu.
Spider string, dog responds to yang.
Cicada Dharma Yuan, Muntjac Xingkong, Tiger Taisui, Lu Ximing, Spider Yi, Xuan Nangong, Yuan Xianting, Qi Zhiben.
Thoughts, thanks,
He Huating, Yuan Xi, Yu Zhen, Chai Yin.
In just one Shenxiao game, twenty-nine characters, including Jiang Wang, danced together.
Everyone has his own plans and desires.
Do you still remember these names when you see them again after a few months?
Horizontally expanded is the power structure of the entire demon clan, Black Lotus Temple, Ancient Nan Mountain, Fengshen Platform, and the Ancient Imperial City.
The vertical shuttle is a trace of history, including He Huating in the depths of time, Chai Yin thousands of years ago, Yu Zhen and Yuan Xi ten thousand years ago, and even the more ancient Bu Lian.
When I wrote about Zen Master Xing Nian crossing the Tianhe River in a boat, Mr. Qin asked me in the group that it was so big here and if Jiang Wang didn’t go home, how could I continue?
This is already considered the climax, and the wave is endless. From the reader's perspective, you can also feel how difficult it is to write the rest.
I just say, don't worry.
When I wrote about Xu Xiangqian's "A Journey Here" and about the Fountain of Youth recognizing its owner, I completely felt that the readers' emotions were already full, and the readers' expectations had reached their highest peak.
The chapter "Being a proud and famous person in the world" is a short chapter of only 4,000 words, but the chapter contains 3,000 words!
On average, three people commented for every four words. Everyone was discussing the plot enthusiastically, and the chapters were longer than the text.
If the book were to end here and reach a higher climax to let Jiang Wang go home, the readers' emotions would be comparable to that of the Sword Immortal in The Meeting of the Yellow River.
But Jiang Wang couldn't just go back.
Because the depiction of the demon clan is not enough, the pattern of the demon clan has not been revealed yet.
A person's strength is reflected by his opponents. If the demon clan is not magnificent enough, how can the human race that overthrow the demon clan be called great?
The peak of the moment destroys the overall structure of the novel.
However, when the emotion reaches its climax, it cannot burst out immediately. It has to be endured and tolerated, which makes people feel very tortured.
This is chapter 103, and the end of Shenxiao Bureau is chapter 122.
The interval between chapters 19 is actually not that long.
But because I could only write one chapter a day, I spent more than half a month writing it.
I also want to finish it in one stroke, but writing is not about moving bricks. I can’t grit my teeth and move a few more bricks. I also need to be energetic, emotionally stable, and inspired to advance the story with stable quality.
I understand the torture caused by slow writing to the reader's reading experience, especially when emotions have piled up. But I really can't get out one more word. I have updated for many days, and I really have a headache writing at night. I couldn't write anymore, so I set my alarm clock the next morning and got up early at six or seven to start writing, and I always finished writing in time for the update.
So I always say please read the book. If some readers are anxious to read it, they can wait until the end to read it.
Most of the readers have given me patience. But there are still a few people who bother me by swiping the screen at certain times every day and scolding me.
I'm almost used to it. I just give a word of advice at the end of the chapter. It's okay if you don't like it or just think it's a bad book. Now that the Internet is very developed, there are many good works. You can read other books first. Put your heart aside before talking about it.
Then someone posted a reply to me - you told me not to read the book, and I told you not to watch how I scolded you. Isn't this very reasonable?
So damn reasonable.
I can only ignore it.
Why do I say writing in Shenxiao Bureau is too difficult?
After arriving at the Fountain of Youth and recognizing his master, Jiang Wang couldn't leave yet, and of course he couldn't die either, and the story still had ups and downs.
Every character must have his own logic of behavior, and Jiang Wang has to swim in the gaps. As the protagonist, he must connect the story lines and give readers a main perspective. As the opposite ant in the Shenxiao Bureau, he must also send out
own brilliance.
So I gave a lot of settings to make the whole story evolve reasonably. Zen master Xing Nian is innocent, Quan Yingyang seeks a new world in the cave, Xingkong sees the three-life orchid flower, and Xuan Nan Gong wants to cast a god king.
body……
All the wishes came to nothing, and finally Yu Zhen got 10%.
I used it to pick up the lonely boat to cross the Tianhe River, and to pick up the fountain of youth to recognize its owner... It was Yuan Xi who asked about time, Chai Yin was unrestrained and transcendent, Yu Zhen lost ten percent of his money, and Bu Lian completely disappeared in time.
Of course, readers who have read this far know better that there is another very important clue about Bu Lian - his destiny begins with Bu Lian and ends with Yu Beidou.
The entire Shenxiao Game is about you singing and me appearing. Many of the characters are very charming, and I personally like them very much. Of course, in addition to the dazzling excitement, there are too many clues intertwined, which will indeed make some
Readers who don't have the patience to enter that world will definitely be "dazzled", dizzy, hard and tired.
There is no way around this, and no plot can satisfy everyone.
I have to thank readers for their support.
Thanks to my steady updates of 4,000 words a day, the number of subscriptions for the Demon Realm chapter has steadily increased. After the Shenxiao Bureau was launched, the skyrocketing mode started, and it has risen to 38,000!
You must know that He Chongtian's follow-up subscriptions have always been 18,000 to 20,000, which has put a lot of pressure on me. However, the increase in Shenxiao Bureau has nearly doubled.
This is a novel with six million words!
And "" can still have such reader stickiness, with so many and more and more readers following the updates of only 4,000 words every day.
It is these readers who make me sure that I can try more writing possibilities. It is these readers who tell me that what really impresses readers is the quality of the story and the emotion poured into the words.
In a fast-paced society, people generally pursue results that are “available as soon as they are thought of”, yet my readers can actually tolerate my slow writing.
I have always said that your expression of this world is your choice of this world.
If you like it, vote for it, subscribe to it, support it with real money, and express your love with true feelings, you are telling the world what kind of work you want.
Similarly, if you hate it, criticize it, and spurn it on various occasions, you are also telling the world what kind of works you don't want.
I think they all understand.
The only kind of people I can't understand are those who have to read every chapter, and because Qidian.com is doing well in piracy, they have to spend money to read every chapter, and then scold them every chapter.
Picture what?
After more than six million words, you still follow every chapter and read the four thousand words on time. That can only be because I wrote it so well that you can't stop.
Otherwise, can I still love me because of you?
There are tens of thousands of novels updated every day on the entire network, but you, like the 38,000 current readers who have subscribed, have chosen to be honest... You are very honest with your body!
I have indeed tempered my mentality well now. You must know that I was a person who found it unbearable even when someone said water in the beginning. I think I wrote so carefully, how can you say water?
Later I discovered that in any novel there are many people talking about water...
One day I saw an author friend saying in the group, "I really wonder if my readers are in the desert, why are they sending me distress signals every day?"
Ha ha ha ha.
Let me tell you seriously, really, if no one gives you money, if you don't hate me to the core, don't mess with my mentality anymore.
It’s been a long time since I competed for the rankings, and I haven’t asked for a monthly ticket for a long time.
My energy in Shenlinjuan has been exhausted by those who attack the screen all day long. So now I can only update 4,000 times a day.
I just want to finish writing this story safely and completely outline my fairy world without leaving any regrets.
There are people who intercede to explain why there is a negative emotion collection system. The more people scold you, the better your writing becomes.
Damn it! I really am not!
What do you think the author faces every day?
You think you are just venting one's emotions. If you are unhappy, you have to vent.
Hundreds and thousands of times of negative emotions add up, have you ever thought about whether you can bear it?
As of now, I have been scolded the most.
One is Zhu Biqiong who returned from the secret realm of Tianfu. People have always said that she was rescued by the Grand Alliance with krypton money. My alliance leaders are all readers who really like this book, and no one has ever tried to interfere with my creation.
One is The Meeting of the Yellow River. At that time, many people talked about water and why it portrayed so many useless characters. They said they should stop reading this book after reading this.
One was Jiang Wangdian's one-on-one challenge on the stage and lost to Zhong Xuanzun.
One is Lin Youxie. Many people say that she always targets Jiang Wang and that this character is too disgusting and annoying.
Now that I have written it, and looking back on these stories, is there really anything worth criticizing?
If Zhu Biqiong died at that time, how would the sea-turning thread be closed? Should I write a new pair of twin flowers and add another plot?
The story has advanced to this point, which character in The Yellow River has not shined? Which character is useless? Is there any need to question it?
If Chong Xuan Zun lost that battle, his sense of oppression would immediately collapse. His subsequent battle losses and his fight side by side with Jiang Wang would still be touching?
Not to mention Lin Youxie, she is now one of the most missed female characters.
I have written six million words. The quality can be seen and the painstaking efforts of the six million words can give me a little more confidence. In many cases... wait a minute?
On January 29th of the Gregorian calendar, a person named "XXX" on Weibo (originally I wrote his ID, but I deleted it after thinking about it) sent me three comments.
One is "Happy Death Day".
Many people know that that day is my birthday.
One was "Hurry up and hang up", and the comment was on a Weibo where I said I had no good cough.
One is "Congratulations." This Weibo comment is about my memory of my grandma. On December 27, 2022, my grandma passed away. I wrote a Weibo on the same day, and this is what he congratulated.
Until now, when I wrote about my feelings, I have never spent money to buy a leader, bought a monthly ticket, or even sent a monthly ticket red envelope (this is a formal channel recognized by the platform to compete for the ranking).
Some people say that Chixin became popular through operations and rankings. They say that so many alliance leaders bought it.
I offered a reward of 200,000 yuan for self-identification, but no one has come to take the money so far. Don’t they love money? I slapped them in the face with 200,000 yuan, but they didn’t dare to react! They kept lurking in the gutter.
The monkey barked wildly, but never dared to come to me.
I write so innocently.
This is true when there are two hundred monthly passes, and it is also true when there are twenty thousand monthly passes.
This is true when sixty is ordered, twenty-seven thousand is ordered, and thirty-eight thousand are followed.
All the readers have been hammered out by me word by word, with a lot of effort and a lot of blood.
All results are voted for by readers one by one, and are promoted one by one spontaneously.
Wherever readers hold it, it will reach that position.
I cherish my readers more than anyone else.
But I never imagined that a person I had never known or interacted with could hate me so much.
I rely on my own talent and hard work to win everything openly.
Just because you are stubborn about your writing ideas, should you endure this?
I can't understand how sick they are.
That day I went crazy with anger in the alliance group. It was my birthday, and I originally asked for leave to rest, but in the end I didn't get any rest. I ran to the police station to call the police on the spot, but the police said they couldn't control it and wanted me to go to court.
It was the end of the year and it was very cold. I was stuck in traffic for two hours. The court was already closed.
At seven o'clock in the evening, I have to rush to my grandma's house for dinner, because grandma has the same birthday as me, and my family is waiting for me. The next day, I have to rush back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year, because grandma just left not long ago and needs to keep a vigil.
.
I can't tell this to my family. I can only share my grievances with my friends in the alliance group.
How to calculate the time cost? I need to spend a lot of time every day sitting there and struggling with the plot. If I don’t hold myself back to a certain level, I will never be able to get inspiration.
But after running around in the cold wind all afternoon, all I gained was anger, anger, anger.
The huge time cost makes me just leave it alone. I need to update every day, so I have to endure it silently and digest my emotions by myself.
Is writing difficult?
I enjoy it!
I love writing, and I like to challenge the difficulty of writing. My greatest pain lies in my inability to do so, and my greatest joy lies in the improvement of my writing ability.
What is difficult about serialization?
The hard part is absorbing so much negative emotions and still insisting on what you feel is right!
I am not a strong person, I am far inferior to the characters I write about.
Their hearts are as strong as iron and they won't worry about anything.
I care about everything.
I am sincerely grateful to those who have always supported me and given me strength.
My readers!
I will not resent those who are dissatisfied with me and criticize me.
But I will not forgive those who hurt me and slandered me.
We may meet by chance, or we may never meet again in our lifetime, it is just the fate of this book.
I start well and end well.
You can stay or go as you like.
I don’t want to repeat myself. So if there is another book, I won’t write about Xianxia.
So it carries all my fairy tale dreams so far.
I want to write what I think is best, not what anyone else thinks is best.
I may write slower and slower, and even slower.
But I will definitely be worthy of the first six million words.
Originally I should have summarized the writing of the Mysterious Realm Chapter, but as I go on, I get too far away.
I was a little sleepy, so I made an appointment to have dinner with someone in the evening.
Then stop here and just treat it like a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water!
Or, one sentence is enough to describe it - it caught the Shenxiao Bureau.
As we all know, it's not high if you tune it up high, it's high if you can catch it.
…
Finally, let’s report the results:
When Crane Climbs to the Sky ended, the average order for the novel was 19,500, with the highest follow-up order being 24,000.
At the end of "Jinghua Shuiyue", the average number has reached 27,000, and the follow-up order has reached a maximum of 38,000.
By the way, if you haven’t ordered all of them, you can order Chapter 119 of the first volume, "Pressing the Sword and Looking Around with a Confused Heart".
That's the first chapter on the shelves, and it's also the embodiment of the high-end order of this book.
I want to see how many real readers this book has. How can it be possible for an average subscription of less than 30,000 yuan to have thousands of chapters and so many readers discussing the plot?
This is where I stop writing and end the entire ninth volume.
Take four days off (including today, it will be five days).
Updates will resume on Wednesday, March 15th in the Gregorian calendar.
…
The name of the next volume is——
"Everyone has become who I am today"
