In fact, I originally set the background of this book in Ami.
Because Amei is a tolerant place. Even fluid genders can be tolerated. Is there anything that cannot be tolerated?
However, after reading it, the editor said that changing the background might make the book more interesting.
I thought about it, and I could change the script. In fact, for me, I can’t write about rabbits anyway, so it would be the same no matter where I write.
So I read through the information and read a lot of literary and artistic works in the book, and changed the background to the current version.
The biggest problem is that in fact, the values and ways of thinking between the Ami people, the Benzi people, and us are hugely different.
Therefore, in order to make the background of this book look like an imaginary notebook, rather than a "template fantasy world" wrapped in a notebook cover, I often need to think, "If it were the person in the notebook, what would he do when faced with this problem?
How to choose”.
Therefore, in order to be like a notebook, it is natural to avoid avoiding the core of notebook culture of "wusai" when writing.
When reviewing the information, I could only summarize the book in one sentence, which is "two peaches kill three scholars".
Extreme, stubborn, twisted, and having small etiquette but no great righteousness, that's basically it.
Among them, the most suitable characters are Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Obito, and Uchiha Itachi in "Naruto". As well as Shishio, Yukiyoba, and Yukiyo En in "Rurouni Kenshin". There are also the characters in "fate"
Emiya Kiritsugu.
Of course, there are also Lao Zai’s Yuan Zhisheng and Yuan Zongnu. Although Lao Zai is not a Benzi person, his description of Benzi culture is simply better than many Benzi people.
In other words, it’s not that they have no righteousness, but that their “righteousness” is very twisted, outrageous, and disgusting. It’s so twisted that often when we look at it from our perspective, we wonder why they do what they do.
For example, Obito killed his master and mother and massacred his clan members, such as Madara's Infinite Tsukuyomi, such as Itachi's genocide, such as Shishio's stealing the country, such as Yukiyoba's sword blocking, such as Yukiyoen's extreme...
These things are unreasonable from the perspective of our values, but if we look at them from my perspective, we can actually understand them.
Extreme, stubborn, twisted, paranoid...just like their Shiba Inu and Akita Inu.
It's such a personality complex.
In order to depict the people in the book, rather than the fantasy people wearing the skin of the book, I chose many plots and characters that are unreasonable in our values view, but they echo the character of the book.
For example, Harada Megumi's humbleness, Yuriko's suicide, Iki's madness, Bankai and the Fujiwara family's plan...
These people all have the above-mentioned characteristics, extreme, stubborn, twisted, paranoid... That's why I feel that they are a bit like a book person, rather than a fantasy person wearing a book skin.
Of course, this kind of extreme, stubborn, twisted, and paranoid character may just be a stereotype, but characters corresponding to this character can be found in almost every Japanese literary work, so even if it is a stereotype, it should be this stereotype
In fact, it does account for a certain proportion in this country.
Of course, as for Wu Ai, in fact, it’s not that I like Wu Ai, but if you want to describe it like a book, then you can’t avoid Wu Ai. Unless, don’t care about the sense of substitution, what you write is a set of books.
The fantasy of skin.
Otherwise, if you want to write the flavor of a book, you cannot escape the sorrow of things (sadness).
However, I still made three copies of the Ami materials I had prepared before (Salem, Midway, Cold War). This did not waste the original settings I prepared at the beginning.
In fact, there are two lines in this book. One is the main line of the main world, which is the conspiracy related to Levi's coming to this world and the main line intertwined among the alien gods. The dungeon mission is another branch line, which is the real increase in the protagonist's potential.
Strength, step by step, the path to becoming an Outer God.
The above are just some random thoughts without any nutrition.
The main plot of the second volume is to spread weapons all over the world and start the Warring States Period. From here on, the protagonist's mentality will not have any flaws. Once he accepts his own madness, he will be invincible. Since the whole world is full of madmen, he will become a mad god.
Bar.
Three copies of the second volume have been temporarily prepared.
1. "Cyber Hacker": The crazy god Levi takes another madman, the Golden King, to make AM Great Again in the cyber world to make XXX great again.
2. "The Story of the Bakumatsu": At the end of the shogunate, the conflicting wars between the anti-barbarian faction, the reform faction, and the nationalist faction, and the final glory of the evil spirits and swordsmen at the end of the shogunate.
3. "St. Petersburg": The last heroic city. Under a tough siege, it persisted for several years without water or food. It persisted until the war was won. The heroic city that never surrendered (Frances, look at them, look again)
