A brief summary of the third volume 'The Observed'
First of all, it is to commit...
Well, anyway, let’s celebrate the end of this volume first.
To be honest, this volume was the most difficult two months since I started coding one and a half years ago.
Not only because of the content, but also partly because of my work and physical condition during this period.
As my time working abroad progressed, and it took a year after I graduated and started working, I started to take on more and more tasks, and my working hours became less and less time-consuming...
In addition, my work itself is very complicated and messy. When I am coding, my thoughts are inevitably disturbed. It is common for me to be emotionally interrupted due to work.
It took me two full months to write this volume. During this time, my physical condition improved somewhat, but due to staying up late and not exercising enough, my body was still not considered healthy.
Headache, cold... various kinds of discomfort, I have been trying not to show it to everyone, and have been trying to hold on.
Let’s talk about the achievement itself, this sad thing.
In three months, I barely managed to reach the point where the average order is one thousand, and now it is to the point where the average order is increased by single digits every day.
And the follow-up order is even more outrageous, there may only be about 200 left.
Qianjun, but after it was put on the shelves and there was only one basic recommendation, there has been no recommendation for 55 days.
Even if you have to queue up after 1,000 yuan, I haven’t recommended it for a month.
Without recommendations, there will be no exposure, there will be no new collections, and ultimately there will be no way to convert it into new paying users.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I haven’t stopped updating and I’ve been writing steadily.
Even when I was at my busiest, I updated and my score was stable, not less than 4,000, and I could get perfect attendance.
I would like to be optimistic, but there is no hope at all.
Outrageous, really outrageous...
It's difficult, really difficult.
In such a situation, it is hard for me to believe that you said that I am slowly working through the word count, hoping that one day I will suddenly come alive.
In addition, in order not to reduce the average subscription, I later changed it to one update of 4,000 words, which resulted in very few new subscriptions and the wrong impression that I did not update much.
I can get perfect attendance, and I'm guaranteed to receive 4,000 updates a day.
When this month starts, I think maybe in order to increase the number, I will change it back to two updates while keeping the total amount unchanged.
Seeing all my friends who were fighting together get up one by one, the feeling of being the only one who is still fighting is really unspeakable.
Especially since my last book has been pushed repeatedly by other sites, my behavior of persisting here seems very ridiculous.
They were advising me to cut off my books early and not waste my enthusiasm and time here.
But I don’t want to be an eunuch. After all, this is the first book in Qidian, and a lot of enthusiasm has been put into it.
Wanting to persevere but feeling like my efforts are wasted is a very contradictory and complicated mood.
Is there any other way?
Yes, double opening.
But the question is not whether I can make money, but can I really do it with my energy?
I have no idea.
Maybe, I will make some money to maintain balance, maybe not, I will just continue to persist.
Who knows?
At least now, I don’t know what the future will be like.
Having said that, let’s talk about the volume itself.
In total, there are about eighty chapters, but after the chapter was updated, it became four thousand, which is actually more than the previous two volumes, about three hundred thousand words.
The content of this chapter had some unclear ideas from the beginning.
The Kingdom of Rhine in Star Chaser clearly represents the human world in the Dark Ages when the gods descended.
During the day, I am an ordinary person, and at night, I have gained the power of an awakened being, and I also have my own ideas.
During the day - it represents the mortal world without the power of the awakened ones, experiencing their powerlessness and weakness, and having no power to resist in front of the gods.
Dark Night - represents the world of awakened people who have gained the power of awakened people. They have the ability to resist and launch a counterattack against the gods.
And what I want to write is a story about "human beings can resist gods".
Human beings have been oppressed and controlled by gods and have been enslaved. How can people who have accepted the supreme power of gods from the beginning resist?
They need a hero.
A man who told them the truth: "You can resist! Gods are not supposed to be supreme!"
And this story is actually about that era, so there are actually two heroes.
One is Ning Feng, who will bring hope and strength to this broken world.
But what he does more is not to intervene directly, but to observe from the side and then push at the most critical moment.
As for the real hero, he has already made it clear.
[The Hero King of the Rhine Kingdom: Reinhardt]
The characters focused on in this chapter.
Fill in his image through the mouths of Charlie, the bandit, the innkeeper, the captain of the guard Carl, the queen... these different people.
He is a heroic king, a cruel usurper in others' words, and a benevolent king...
A character who definitely deserves to be a hero.
For the people of the Rhine Kingdom, he was a great enough king.
His fate, his experience, his perseverance, his resistance...
His unyielding soul, even if he has turned into an undead, is still dazzling.
This somewhat tragic hero kind of pokes fun at me under certain circumstances.
Everything else has been mentioned in the story, so I won’t go into details.
As for his ending, it has already been decided.
Just like Ning Feng said, Reinhardt has completed his mission and there is no need to persist anymore.
I can't find a reason for him to continue.
Hero, let it end like this.
Even though it's a little sad, that's his fate, a satisfying ending.
As for what caused all this, it was the tragedy that belonged to him and the dark age under the oppression and destruction of that sad fate.
Regarding Reinhardt’s story, I think it’s pretty clear.
As for the other supporting characters, I will use pen and ink, so naturally they are not just passers-by.
Anthony, Sophie, Rhodes, Fran, Andrew, Angustus, Lord Coldthorn... Oh, and the two legends I always represent with red hair and blue eyes.
These people naturally have their own roles, and they are just appearing for the first time.
Let’s go back to the title of the volume “The Observed”.
【Observed】has many meanings.
The most superficial meaning is that these are the observed persons in the "Observed Project" who are watched by the Watch Club.
There is No. 9 who represents Ning Feng, there is also No. 2 who was able to survive the car accident unharmed, and there are also some other remaining observers...
They are all in this star chasing competition and are the ones being watched.
The second meaning is that every contestant in the Star Chaser competition is an "observed person" watched by the audience.
They showed themselves in the eyes of every audience, stepped onto the stage, and were watched by everyone.
The third meaning is that every undead soul in the Rhine Kingdom is being watched by the gods.
The illusory sun and moon are His eyes, hanging high in the sky, staring at mortals indifferently.
The fourth level of meaning is the "prophet" that has been watched and expected in the eyes of stargazers.
Ning Feng himself is a very complex character.
While he is the observer, he is also observing the world from his perspective.
Use his perspective to observe, think, and understand.
Use a real experience to understand a microcosm of that dark era.
Let him know what kind of existence the gods are.
Let him know exactly how humans should do it.
Kneel down? Bear the humiliation? Ask for mercy from the gods?
Give up your illusions and embrace the battle.
There is no point in simply giving in.
【Humanity needs heroes and there is no shortage of heroes.】
Regarding that prophecy, some deletions were actually made due to the chapter, so I will discuss it later.
I hope that some of what I want to express can be passed on to everyone. If you can understand a little bit, it will be a great satisfaction to me.
All in all, the story in this chapter was interfered by many external factors, which affected my mentality, mood, writing ideas, and mental state.
I didn't present the story perfectly, and overall it was somewhat unsatisfactory.
I feel a little sad about this situation.
I hope that in the future, after the number of words increases, the current situation can be improved.
In addition, he has a fan title - Saint Barthes Apostle.
happy.
My current poor thinking can only think of such a title. If you have any ideas, you can tell me and maybe you will change your mind.
Finally, let’s catch up on this special day today.
I wish every soldier who protects his home and country good health and peace forever!
