Embers Ad Infinitum

It’s time for a book to hit the shelves again, and it’s also the time when every author at Qidian is most anxious.

For online novels, adaptations such as games, movies, and animations are certainly good, but they are more of an icing on the cake. Only subscription data, I think, is the foundation for a life.

As for every book, as a creator, I have a lot of worries about whether what I want to express is misaligned with the readers' expectations. Therefore, unless there is really no shortage of money, otherwise I will be more or less anxious.

The book "The Remaining Fire of the Night" may be somewhat different from the more common wasteland novels and apocalyptic novels, and the key points it wants to express will also be somewhat different, which means there will be no monster killing, upgrading, or power building. , farming development and other common elements, it’s not that they are not good enough, but I think that a theme like wasteland can carry a lot, and you can try to explore its boundaries, otherwise it would be a shame.

As for what will be presented in the end and what the effect will be, I have my own plan, but I can't say I'm very sure. I just hope that I can write it well bit by bit and outline everything I want to express.

One thing I can be sure of is that in the process of writing such a story, despite the pain and suffering, I will still be very happy, because there will be new scenery to experience and a sense of accomplishment after overcoming each difficulty.

New themes sometimes require some writing methods that I was not very good at or rarely used before, and the perspective is completely different, which inevitably makes me feel uneasy, because it is different from the reading habits and subconscious expectations of many readers. consistent.

Some people may say that there is no need to go through such trouble. Wouldn’t it be good for each author to delve deeply into the fields he is good at? If you turn too sharply, you will be thrown out; if you take too big a step, your crotch will be pulled.

Especially now that I am in my so-called peak period, if I don't work steadily and further improve my performance, it will be a waste of popularity.

But if we don’t bother now, why don’t we wait until we are a few years older and our spirits start to decline?

At that time, I might not be able to do anything I wanted to do. It wouldn’t be a bad thing to give it one more try while I still have the heart and energy.

At least by the age of forty, I can master some writing techniques, writing theories, and story themes better than most authors. I can have more weapons in my arsenal for creation, so that I can enjoy a few more years after I pass my peak. capital.

Haha, if you don’t have long-term worries, you must have immediate worries.

Regarding the book "The Last Fire", I have said a lot of things in the summary of the first part, and I won't go into details here. I just hope that everyone will not read it with expectations for the previous books. This is not to say no. Expect quality, but don't expect the same feel from the previous style.

A simple example is that in this book, I focused more on "meeting". In many cases, there won't be strong suspense, and there won't be so many people dying, and there won't be that many knives, lol.

Okay, it will be on the shelves in the early morning. Today there will be four chapters, two chapters at 0:00, and one chapter each at the normal update time. Please subscribe more and vote more for the month.
