Final Words
It’s over~ It’s over~
When I typed the last three words [Complete of the book], I felt relieved but at the same time felt disappointed! !
The protagonists of the two consecutive books finally obtained eternal happiness at the end, but I felt empty in my heart.
After hesitating for a long time, I decided to chat with everyone to relieve my melancholy, and at the same time summarize my gains and lessons from this book.
First of all, the story structure of the book "Godly Costume" is a bit broken in the later mythological stage. I must first apologize.
However, this situation is caused by many factors, some of which I can overcome, and some of which are structural flaws that I can only try to avoid in the future. (If there is a future)
1. External causes.
Everyone knows that Lao Xu is a social beast. He was squeezed by his boss every day in the company, and he will be squeezed by you again when he comes back. I am really squeezed dry.
Therefore, there was a period of time during the middle of the book when I felt obviously unwell. I once wanted to escape directly from the outline, but at least I persisted and managed to achieve a smooth landing.
What's more, the recent sale and purchase of a house have left me mentally and physically exhausted.
Because I discovered a very real and painful thing - the housing prices are outrageous!
It’s so funny, I can’t even afford it!
The money from selling the house is not enough for the down payment!
I’ll buy a Ger!
But my parents were urging me, so I could only go around looking at houses with anxiety. The time I could write was getting less and less, forcing me to finish it as soon as possible.
2. Forced to revise the outline.
If you are a book lover who has been following the book since the beginning, you should know that when Lao Xu first published the book, it happened to catch up with the Internet eradication trend. The supernatural elements that were originally very important in the book could no longer be written, and even the word "ghost" could not be mentioned. , directly caused the overall style of the book to tilt towards pure urban supernatural powers, and also laid the foundation for the unsustainable flaw in the later story structure.
3. Setting defects
This is the most important and core issue.
I set the power level too high!
Especially after reaching the secret diamond, when it comes to the legal level, the battle loses the sense of graphics and becomes a simple battle setting.
The characters in the story also began to lose their flesh and blood and became empty symbols.
The world view, group portraits, supporting characters, and even teammates that I carefully constructed in the early stage are no longer important, because the protagonist can directly turn the entire stage off, and he can solve all problems by himself!
And all problems can be solved with one method - fists!
Therefore, the later I get, the more boring and boring I feel, and my thoughts can’t help but wander to the setting of the new book.
However, this flaw cannot be corrected. As long as the upgrade system is involved, almost all novels will eventually fall into such a strange circle.
Even my favorite "Lord of Mysteries" is not exempt from this. Squid also said that he was most comfortable writing before Sequence 3, while I was the most passionate before "Secret Diamond".
In fact, even if I barely get through it, I can still add another million words to lay out the structure of the mythical stage.
After all, [Death Valley] Black Pharaoh, Quetzalcoatl, Indian elephant god, the old days of Mars, Cthulhu in the Pacific, [Heart of the Swarm], [Legacy of the Void]...
These foreshadowings are basically just mentioned in one stroke. If I wrote them in detail, I might not be able to finish them in a million words.
But if you still deliberately cheat money after knowing that there are major problems in your structure, you are not only irresponsible to yourself, but also irresponsible to you.
Therefore, I chose to advance the plot as quickly as possible and land it smoothly, giving myself an explanation and giving you an explanation.
To sum up, "The Godly Costume" is not a perfect book. It has various flaws, big and small, but as long as it can bring you happiness during the two years that it has been with you, then it is considered complete. Mission now!
On this basis, if one day in the future you recall the crispy mage Li Rui, the fierce snake Zizong, the mean Xiao Huang, the tyrannical cool Ling Xiyi, the kitten Li Wei, Hannah, Luo Li... If these names make me smile, then my two years of hard work will be worth it!
In addition, the world view setting of the next book has actually been completed, but I don’t know if it will be born, because I may not have time to write a book for Aiden.
If I buy a house, I will probably get a side job to support my family. Writing novels is really a very cost-effective thing. If there is no love and just money, I may not be able to persist long ago.
Of course, there are no absolutes in everything. Maybe after a period of time, I will be too idle, my creative urge will be overwhelming, and I will encounter a shortage of books, and I may start to "revolt with my pen" again.
After all, I have a big brain, and I dream up all kinds of stories every day. Sometimes the ideas I come up with are really amazing, and I can’t help but want to write them out to show you off. ()
Okay, stop bragging, it will be daybreak if I continue to write!
Finally, I wish everyone good health and all the best.
We are destined to meet again.
I love you, touch me~~
