Closing remarks(1/2)

It’s over, it’s finally over. My mood now is as if I’m finally going on a long vacation after two years of classes. If there weren’t all of you waiting for me, I really want to get rid of my writer’s assistant or something like that.

Take a break until next year.

Then, let me think about how to write this speech... Just write it wherever you think of it.

First of all, it is the beginning of this book. I have talked about this matter many times. At the beginning, it was just a waste of money, and then I found my way back to Barabala.

Well, in fact, this experience was quite rough, and I have to say that this book can survive to this day, and I am sincerely grateful to those old friends who raised a hand when this book was about to die.

For example, Fengyue, Duting Cup, Andis Morning Wind, Half-Buddha Immortal, Red Halberd, Stellar Instrument... (This ranking is in no particular order, it all depends on my poor memory. If there are any omissions...ah, this,

I'm really sorry), as well as my previous editor Danqing, and current editor Qingfei, as well as all the alliance leaders, and readers.

(By the way, thank you again. The leader of the Silver Alliance, Demo Gaogen, and the blood flower blooming from the leader at the end of the book. It feels like receiving the leader at the end of the book. It gives me a sense of satisfaction and satisfaction.)

Without your crowdfunding to write the book and your help in picking out typos in chapters, this book might have fallen by the wayside.

(One thing to note is that regarding the typo, my roommate once thought I was illiterate and had doubts about the entire online literature industry. Here, I am really sorry.)

After the thank you section, let’s talk about some issues with this book.

I always want to write something different, and in each volume, I also try to do some fancy things, but what everyone needs to know is that when making innovative dishes, you always take risks. Just suppose that today Kaifeng Cai has a donkey meat roast.

, if it tastes bad, it will inevitably hurt the customer's heart.

Some of the things I have written in my previous remarks will not be repeated here, but I will talk about some things that have not been said before.

Many readers have mentioned that the style of the first three volumes of this book is different from the subsequent stories.

This needs to be admitted, and this difference stems from my bad money attempt. There is no outline at the beginning of this book. A bunch of messy things were all improvised. In order to finish this book well, it is necessary to

Pay the price for the hole you dug.

So when I realized this in the second volume, I began to try to fix it and make the world view of this book as smooth as possible.

Therefore, in the third volume, I recycle all the previous foreshadowing, clarify the identity of the protagonist, and then gradually lead to the next main line.

The fourth volume connects the previous and the following and is used as a transition, and then the last three volumes are completely designed to solve this main line.

In order not to collapse, I gave up on opening maps and other activities, and only focused on the existing story and finished it smoothly.

Therefore, this book can actually be regarded as two parts, the first three volumes and the last three volumes.

The first three volumes are more like prequels written to write the last three volumes. Mainly because I like writing prequels, and there is always a sense of grandeur about an approaching storm.

Therefore, there are certain differences in style, but there is nothing we can do about it.

When I was writing the book I felt like,

You just randomly signed up for a wilderness survival variety show. You were supposed to have fun with the food provided by the program crew. After you had eaten and drank enough, you gave up the challenge and went home. But after you had eaten and drank enough, you found that the program crew gave you

Your satellite phone is broken. You have no resources in this wilderness. You have to live here for three full months before someone comes to pick you up. It feels like.

In order to survive these three months, you have to clean up the mess of what you just did in three minutes.

so.

But that’s okay, after all, not every author can enjoy the experience of writing a book like this.

Tears.

I also feel that writing a book is a process in which you can obviously feel your own changes. For example, if you pay attention, you will be surprised to find that in the first two volumes of this book, I did not distinguish between them, but in the subsequent updates

, I gradually discovered these problems and made corrections.

Speaking of the ending, I actually think this ending is quite bland, and I think everyone should think so too.

I think the main reason is that I can't escape readers' expectations. This is the last volume, the concluding volume, which is different from the previous volumes.

I can add a lot of bells and whistles to the previous volumes, with different themes, but the last volume is the summary volume. After all the foreshadowing has been revealed and all the preparations have been made, the last volume

It's actually a Dragon Quest story.

Just like StarCraft, after exploding the population, just f2a, no extra operations are needed.

In the last volume, everything is written clearly. The protagonist will defeat the final boss. No matter how I write, I can't get out of this frame.

When everyone has such expectations, the plot is obvious and everyone can guess the direction. No matter how thrilling the climax is, it is just a waste of writing power to complicate a doomed event.

Of course, another way is that the hero dies, the hero turns into a dragon or something like that, a bad ending.

In fact, my early thought was that the ending would be bad, but in the follow-up time, I looked at my records and found that the "time to change my mind" was 11:37 am on March 8, 2021.

I have some strange hobbies, such as recording the time when my thoughts change.

In short, after this, my personal thoughts changed again. You can see this from Oscar's lines. Many times, I use this character to express some of my feelings when writing.

I thought the bad ending was cool at first, but then I suddenly realized that I had been writing this book for 2 years and 3 million words. I had been writing it for so long just for a bad ending, both for myself and for the readers.

I think it's a little too cruel to do it.

The readers stayed with it day and night, but saw the ending in which a character died.

Reality is so bad, and I felt bad that it was still like this in an imaginary world, so from then on, I decided to write a good ending.

Starting from the previous volumes, I started making adjustments to change the direction of the story in a promising direction.

Why hurt the readers? Right.

So the last volume is very simple and royal, just say goodbye and go to your own ending.

Some people may think that a sad ending is not bad, and I can understand that, but this, how should I put it, is at least good, at least good.

but!

As a person who knows how to organize things, I always feel something is wrong if I don’t do it in the last volume, so I think it’s better to enrich the character’s heart.

For example, the protagonist finally gets over the pain and accepts the character's departure calmly, or the villain completes his concept and dies with satisfaction.

In fact, many times when I write about emotions, I feel that I write very restrainedly. Many emotions are replaced by dialogue, and I try to restrain direct expressions as much as possible.

Of course, it may also have something to do with the fact that I don’t have a girlfriend, so there are always words written about whether men and women, we can become good brothers together.

Then, this is the last volume, dig into the characters that can be explored in depth, and let them make their final contribution.

By the way, I actually quite like the character of Lawrence. I have always wanted to create an interesting villain, and part of the prototype of Lawrence comes from Macbeth, but it is somewhat different from Macbeth.

In the story, Macbeth obeys his fate until his death, and Lawrence does the same, stubbornly obeying his fate, but resisting at the last moment.

Destiny, a grand and mysterious theme.

Stepping into a desperate situation and breaking it is the only way to measure a person's value.

The story I want to write is a process of constant resistance. There is little hope, but you should still give it a try.

So when it comes to this, I have to mention "Legend of the Sword and Wind". Thanks to Kentaro Miura for the story.

Many people have written praises for this work, so I won’t go into too much nonsense.

There is also Susumu Hirasawa's "Private Gn-3". I think the series of variations of Private Gn are very good and accompanied me through a long time of coding.

Let’s talk about the ending.

ending.

The ending is very ritualistic to me. As a newcomer to online writing, I feel that one may be able to write several books and write down several "endings" in one's life.

I think the ending is very important to the author of the online article. Therefore, I really like to read the closing remarks of other authors. But unfortunately, many people don't write much, or scribble a few sentences, resulting in

I seem to be a bit unsociable because I talk at length about nothing.

The feeling of writing the ending is very strange. It is worrying about gains and losses. On the one hand, you can finally end this story and move on to a new one. On the other hand, you have to say goodbye to everything you are used to and start over.

Just like in the story, a new beginning.

Being out of your comfort zone is always unsettling, even for me.

No more thinking about The Bizarre Adventures of Lorenzo Holmes or what to write tomorrow.

There is a kind of black bear that has been in the zoo for most of its life. After being released into the wild, it looks at the mountains and woods, feeling a little scared and a little confused.

But people always have to move forward, and so do stories.

The story of Lorenzo and his friends ends here. Writing more will only make the original story more bloated.

But it was quite sad to say goodbye. This reminded me of my college graduation. I often told my roommate that I felt like I had never gone to college. My roommate looked at my attendance sheet and said that I had never gone to college.

Normally, the new teacher didn't even know there was such a person in the class, let alone the sadness of graduation.

But it is indeed melancholy. It reminds me of the first time I watched a cartoon from beginning to end when I was in junior high school. I don’t know whether it was because of my youthful sensibility or something else. Anyway, when I watched the ending, I felt like

The feeling of being lost was so bad that it once made me want to stop reading the story.

After all, if there is no beginning, there will be no end.

But there is always a need to start and there is always a need to end.

[On the other hand, this book can indeed be regarded as my first officially completed novel. It can be said that I have stepped on many pitfalls and made many mistakes.

For example, it's slow to warm up, it's flat, it's obviously a love story written only by singles, there are many shortcomings that I haven't thought of yet.

As a newbie, I really admit these mistakes and the criticisms brought about by them, so I accept them with an open mind. As for whether I am unrepentant or not, only I know.

I can only say that within the scope of my ability, I will continue to write better in my future writing career.]
To be continued...
