Chapter 86: Launched, let

~6 min read 1,162 words

The author is a newcomer. This isn't my first book, but it's the one with the best results. Actually, it's my first time writing a doomsday novel. I didn't expect so many friends to support it.

First of all, thank you to all the readers who have seen this far for your patience.

Newcomers are all like this. At the beginning, there was no very clear plan. The outline of this book at the very beginning was actually doomsday farming: upgrade an invincible war chariot, then go all the way carefree, collect various beauties, face the overwhelming zombie tide outside, and then lie comfortably on the carriage with complete supplies and a solid fortress, living a cozy doomsday life.

I believe many people who watch doomsday-themed movies and novels have fantasized about or liked this feeling, so doomsday shelter novels have been quite popular in recent years. At the beginning, I also wanted to go in this direction. Everyone who reads the setting introduction will feel it's heading in this direction.

But writing and imagining are two different things.

For example: the permanent shelter is built, and it's cool for a while, but then what...

Or for example: the train is upgraded to an invincible fortress, there is no danger, full of sense of security, and after holding beauties in the steel fortress for a few days, what do you write in the next chapter...

Cultivation?

So I started to rethink, make settings, and wanted to write a dangerous doomsday.

And in doomsday, survival and insecurity are the core themes.

A sense of security is established and obtained step by step, but there are countless possibilities in the dark night, and survival crises are always there. Only with crises is there motivation.

If a doomsday novel has no survival crisis for the protagonist, doesn't it become a fantasy upgrade and face-slapping novel?

Everyone can see from many previous reviews that the development of this book might be somewhat biased from the direction many readers "thought" it would go.

For example, thinking that doomsday should be a lone wolf, starting to scold for having women in the first chapter, but if you don't write women, others scold you for being a eunuch.

For example, thinking that doomsday should be about hiding and developing, then becoming invincible directly, and strolling around with a full sense of security, so they keep scolding me for why I don't let the protagonist stop and develop when his ability is so heaven-defying.

(I specifically designed the doomsday of battle royale, set the time of swallowing, energy consumption, unknown dangers, and emphasized the functionality of the protagonist's ability rather than combat, just to specifically prevent everyone from thinking in the direction of hiding. Many people think the protagonist's mechanical ability is so heaven-defying, he should play like this, play like that, and according to the author's writing, it's lowering intelligence. I almost directly added a setting of 【Prohibiting the protagonist from hiding, dying directly after 24 hours】...) Helpless... ╮(╯_╰)╭

PS: Actually, I listened to the opinions in the comment section, and as a result, I really stopped to rest and develop for three or four chapters, and was scolded for being too watery...

For example, thinking that the protagonist in doomsday should be decisive in killing, and if a supporting character has any thoughts or schemes, they should be killed in seconds, and all characters should either be loyal little brothers responsible for performing shocked expressions, or vicious villains coming out to receive their death.

But I have never given the protagonist a label of being decisive in killing. The protagonist is just a college student who obtained an ability, planning a seemingly crazy escape plan, and I think that whether it's supporting characters or passersby, they all have their own survival concepts in doomsday.

The protagonist's ability is just the foundation of the underlying architecture, and to achieve such a goal, teamwork and huddling together for warmth are needed.

Friends who can see this article should also see that I am trying hard to use long chapters to shape a character, such as Kiki, such as Chen Chen Laoshi, and subsequent Lou Shasha and new teammates will also have some key plot developments.

From the girl on the helicopter in the first chapter, to the passenger who was scolded by many people in chapters 23-26, who was scheming and lacked a sense of security, mutual suspicion, to the later reconciliation, and then gradually understanding the reasons for Kiki's personality...

I admit that my writing style is too immature to be like a great god who "can bring a vivid character to life with a few strokes," and can only use long chapters....

So as a newcomer author, seeing the results are good, but being scolded constantly, and struggling with how to change, I started to have a split personality.

However, after the guidance of the editor, I adjusted my mindset.

Some people like doomsday types that are full of security and face-slapping, and some people like doomsday that is full of unknowns and survival tests. Every story has a group that likes it.

Actually, some old readers have come to criticize, saying it looks like a writing style from ten years ago.

I completely agree with this point.

Because I haven't watched the novels of Feilu or Tomato in these years, haven't pondered those brand-new routines, what kind of face-slapping, showing off in front of people, the fast-paced writing style where the cool points don't exceed 3 chapters, and I didn't want to write according to that routine (uh... although the book title is Feilu style).

Everyone can see from the introduction that it's not the kind of witty, meme-playing, funny, or hiding-the-truth-to-show-the-truth type.

This is a survival adventure that is completely unknown.

Natural disasters, snowstorms, dark nights, eeriness, supernatural phenomena, giant monsters in the sky, puzzle-solving, fighting, all will be covered.

Food, water, energy, air, warmth, etc., always lacking a sense of security.

!

Survival is always the main theme of doomsday,

and the wheels roll forward, always an unknown adventure.

Finally, everything that needs to be said has been said. I will work hard to update, hoping to write a doomsday novel that has flavor and is not routine, and I hope everyone will support it with monthly tickets and subscriptions. I will bear with any shortcomings.

Thank you to all friends. Those who like this book can join the group. When I'm not coding, I will chat with everyone about the content of the book, and if you have any brain holes, you can also bring them up.

Launching tomorrow, kneeling and begging all the big guys who are hoarding the book to give a first subscription, thank you very much.
