Chapter 434

Summary at the end of Volume Two

When writing, I really wanted to write a summary, all kinds of reflections and new discoveries were gushing out like a spring. But once I finished writing, I was too lazy to write. Writing is definitely a blue-consuming thing. After writing, the whole person is like releasing a big move. Either meditate to restore blue, or you can only be flat, flat, flat...

Writing Volume One was like building with blocks. First, put two flat rectangles on the flat ground, and then squares, diamonds, etc., pile them up one by one. Finally, reach the same height, cover the two pillars with a large triangle, and the house is done.

Although the author is very vegetable and unfamiliar, this is originally the shape built by a three or five-year-old child. It can only be piled up like this, and no matter how stupid it is, it is impossible to collapse.

But Volume Two became a super high-difficulty Tetris.

Shua shua shua shua shua shua.

The author is not picking blocks to pile up every day, but must first deal with the upcoming update, and then stare at the pile of messy things that have already formed below in the gaps and scratch his ears and cheeks, wondering how these things can be connected to build a house.

So I always say later that the root cause of the problems in Volume Two is that I started writing without a conception.

From then on, it was like driving a speeding car and running wild. There was no well-designed road. It all depended on real-time control to let the car crush out a road itself. Halfway through, I looked back at the shape that was speeding out—"Do you see that it looks like a petal?"

"....... That's a shoehorn, right."

"Forget it! Anyway, what I just walked out is a petal. Actually, I wanted to draw a lotus flower!"

This is the creative heart journey of Volume Two.

Of course, another reason is strangeness and lack of experience.

No experience in web novels, no experience in writing stories, lacking the most basic cognition.

When writing Volume One, I didn't understand anything. I just had a simple story, and it was fine to write it out.

After writing it, the main response was that it was too depressing, so I reflected, yes, we are a cool novel, so how to be cool?

Then let's fight monsters and upgrade.

This is the martial arts plot of Volume Two.

I didn't consider the connection and promotion of the main plot. I thought those were still very far away, so I wrote a story about Bowang City.

To tell the truth, that was the plot with the best results. Whether it was subscription or monthly tickets, it was the peak, but I still reflected after this plot.

Because at this time I began to have a little creative consciousness. With the increase in word count, I began to think about what I was writing and which direction this book was going.

Although I didn't think clearly, at least I realized one point—writing should be promoted toward the plot and climax I want. A book should write a story, and when it is finished, it can be finished. This is a complete creation.

Just to design a "tool" like martial arts competition for a cool emotion, without considering the main line and other promotions, from the plot itself, this is a failure.

Or rather, it is a failure in this book, because fighting martial arts competition also has the way of fighting martial arts competition. It needs a solid and stable worldview, needs to deepen the gap between realms, increase the cool feeling of upgrading, take the improvement of skill realms as a clear line, etc., etc.

That also needs to be well studied and well set, but this book pursues the tension of the plot more, so it can't do that.

So I realized at this time that the cool I thought of with my brain and what I was already writing were incompatible. After writing this plot, I posted a short single chapter that was deleted in two days for friends who were chasing, which is that I found that this book still has to weave the plot to write, releasing emotions in the wonderful plot, rather than forcibly raising emotions in a monotonous plot.

Of course, this is my shallow understanding now. With writing, I may still have many new ideas, but that was what I thought at that time.

So it was the Joy Death Building plot later.

From chapter 229, leaving Bowang, to entering Kongdong, to the end of chapter 333, these 100 chapters are a story with a clear main line.

These 100 chapters have rhythm problems in technique, and there are also deficiencies in writing ability, but in creative choice, I am firm, and in the weaving and closing of the plot, it is basically complete. When I finished writing, I also felt very relieved and quite accomplished.

Because it really let me draw this lotus flower.

It is really very, very difficult. There are too many clues and too many characters. It is too difficult to control. What's more, once the plot is complicated, it is very difficult to write with strength.

Looking back at Volume One, it is really like playing house.

That plot is very simple. It is a story of a youth meeting a cult, entering the mountain for an adventure, meeting the Black Chi, meeting Zhu Gaoyang, meeting Ming Qitian, and finally coming back to reveal the old man's life experience and defeating a strong enemy.

The strong enemy is from the sky, the Immortal Lord does not need a story and humanity; the contradiction is ready-made, the purpose of the cult can be completely separated from society; the scene is a large secret room like "Mountain City", no need to consider the reaction of all parties outside; friends are also from afar, they appear here, just describe their charm, no need to consider their origin and destination.

The method of defeating the strong enemy does not need to be thought hard. Ming Qitian and Yue Muzhou themselves are strong enough forces, just weave the battle.

And at the beginning of the story, the author is not restricted by any existing text, and does not know that he needs to consider rhythm, reader reaction, and other problems.

Etc., etc.

These conveniences are all gone in the Qu Zhu plot.

So after completing this plot, I really felt that I had made progress in writing. Maybe the words were becoming less and less carved, and some bad habits began to appear, but the understanding of writing was constantly deepening.

So after the bloated Volume Two was finished, at least one point encouraged me—when I chose to simply write a cool point, I wrote it out after all; when I chose to weave the scattered threads into a plot, I also succeeded with difficulty.

When Volume One was finished, there were many voices of praise, but I told many people that I was very unconfident, because I couldn't figure out how I wrote it. If asked, it was by feeling, and I didn't quite understand what readers liked.

Now I still dare not say this, but after all, I have some understanding, understanding of my own writing ability, understanding of creative consciousness, understanding of the characteristics of web novel serialization, etc.

So in Volume Three, I try to combine it, or rather balance it.

Write some "orthodox things".

That is, in the promotion of the main plot, try to pay attention to the arrangement of cool points, no longer use a large amount of foreshadowing to structure a plot, but spread the explosion points flat, reduce some foreshadowing and suspense, and try a clearer and more orderly promotion.

Because I used to like to finish reading books directly or books with many words, almost never chasing updates, so I didn't pay much attention to the element of "chasing updates".

But now it seems that compared to a complete story, the feeling of web novels as "daily pastime" is more important. That is, in the content updated every day, there must be enough information and elements, or enough fun memes and daily life, and there are things to look forward to not far ahead... In short, readers should try to get at least one solid experience in these few thousand words.

So I will try to be more in line with the serialization characteristics. Of course, there will be sacrifices in plot tension, and the complexity will also be reduced, but the author is also very tired of writing things that are too deep and explosive, and the plot is easy to fly. The Divine Capital is a prosperous place, let's write something bright.

Volume Three didn't forget to take a name this time, let's call it 【Fish Dragon Dance】!
