God Emperor

It was originally expected at the beginning of the year to finish the book in August or September, but because the writing was so slow this year, I could only update 60,000 to 70,000 words a month, so I am still finishing the work.

Updates are slow. Let’s shamelessly look for the objective reasons first:

First, this book has nearly 14 million words, and it took more than eight years to write. It was really too long, and the whole thing was like a computer with too many things stored in it, running slower and slower.

There are too many characters, treasures, techniques, magical powers, plots, clues, details... and hundreds of different relationships between different characters to be remembered in my mind.

To give an example, this short story about Biluo Pass has dozens of characters written at the same time.

1. The relationship between Tianhuang and Dihuang monks. 2. The relationship between the Meng family and the Eight Tribes. 3. The past and present lives of mortal world and Brahma. 4. The cause and effect of Brahma and the Meng family. 5. The story of the Sixth Patriarch, Gandharva and Ksitigarbha. 6. The grudge between Shang Tian and Huang Tian. 7. Zhang Ruochen’s purpose of coming to Biluo Pass. 8. The cause and effect of Shang Tian and Babu's conformity. 9. Precious Seal Ksitigarbha and Tanduo Ksitigarbha follow the eight groups. 10. The investigation of the Fourth Confucian Patriarch and Wuli...

Let’s list ten first!

This short story should have more than twenty lines to write. Each character has his own independent story, and there are even more conflicts and story lines between characters.

There are so many characters in this book, and the entire worldview is estimated to have nearly a thousand characters whose stories are developing and evolving over time.

Therefore, every time I write a chapter, I almost have to write a detailed outline of more than a thousand words and keep sorting it out.

It can be said that "Eternal God Emperor" may not be very well written, but it is definitely the most difficult book to write in the entire online literary circle in my opinion.

The difficulty of writing lies in the fact that you cannot write randomly. You must write a certain story and readability based on the huge world view and complex character relationships.

At present, the total number of follow-up subscriptions for "Eternal God Emperor" on Qidian and QQ Reading should be around 100,000. In the entire Internet literary circle, there are only a few serialized books.

For a book with more than 5 million words, I don’t know if there are more than 100,000 back-orders. Anyway, there should be no 100,000 follow-up subscriptions for a serialized book with more than 10 million words. "The Eternal God Emperor" is probably the only one.

Of course, Qidian and QQ reading only account for a small part of the readers of "Eternal God Emperor", less than half.

If the number of all follow-up readers is counted, "The Eternal God Emperor" will most likely be the number one read, including all the books in Qidian.

The above are all my guesses.

Readers' follow-up reading is the greatest affirmation of the book. To maintain such a large number of follow-up readers, you must not write randomly. Readers who write randomly will not read it!

Therefore, the second objective reason is that no matter how slow the update is, the book, characters and plot must be stabilized. The pace cannot be too fast or too slow.

In terms of plot, you should never worry about unfinished content. A book of more than 10 million words may have many small holes, but the author has been writing for eight years and must understand the book better than the readers, and will definitely give readers a better understanding of the book. A satisfactory answer from readers who have been reading it for several years.

Every time a chapter is written, many readers speculate about the next plot.

If he guesses correctly, he will say that the author copied his idea. If you guess wrong, tell the author to change the outline. Unless you don't guess, you can't escape these two results.

In fact, it’s not necessary!

Every time the author writes a plot, he will definitely lay out many foreshadowings. Being able to guess the follow-up means that you read the book seriously and really love it, so your analysis is correct.

But a book needs not only suspense, but also reversal, a reversal within the foreshadowing. So, even if you don't guess correctly, it's only in the author's design.

Writing a novel itself is to tease the reader's psychology and emotions. If you fail to do this, the book will not be readable.

Some readers still think of characters who have been written about many times in the book as new characters, appearing for the first time.

Some readers feel that some plots that have been written many times are repetitive and wordy, while others feel that they are imposed settings.

This cannot be reconciled!

Just like the plot of the last two chapters, 90% of it is actually the content of the previous chapters. It is an integration of all the clues. But many readers still feel that these things were written only now and were arranged temporarily.

I've analyzed the reasons, and I don't blame anyone, it's my own problem.

The update is too slow, and the timeline of the plot is too long. I am very grateful to the readers who can remember the entire story. You are definitely the most loyal readers of "Eternal God Emperor".

Readers who cannot remember the character clues and story line are actually normal readers, the majority of them. Including myself, I have to read the previous chapters over and over again.

Because it really took too long, was too slow, and was too complicated to write.

This is the author's problem, and I accept all criticism humbly.

The objective reasons for slow updates have been analyzed, and then there are the subjective reasons.

The subjective reason is something I can't avoid. I really didn't work hard enough and was slacking off. After finishing this book, we will talk about this issue slowly.

Finally, let’s talk about some of the confusions that people have had about the recent plot.

First, are Brahma Heart and Hades Ancestor good and the other bad?

The answer is that there is no absolute good or bad, their fates are bound together.

Second, whitewash Shangtian and Gandharva?

Answer: There is no one to whitewash! Because a good person must have a reason for being a good person, and a bad person must have a reason for becoming bad. Again, there is no absolute good or bad in "Eternal God Emperor".

If someone is whitewashed, it must be just the reason why he (she) became bad and the logic behind his (her) behavior. It is impossible for bad people to be born to do bad things, right?

Third, why do we have to write the story of Tianhuang and Huihai?

Answer: This is a necessary story, and the whole book will end here. It is half a spoiler!

Fourth, has the Nether Ancestor been weakened?

Answer: Every immortal is very scary, not only in terms of cultivation, but also in terms of wisdom. Everything you see now is just what He wants you to see. You think He is weak, but He just wants you to think He is weak.

Whoever laughs last is the winner.

So far, the entire Eternal God Emperor world is still under the control of the immortals. They are very sober, more sober than anyone else.

Fifth, why is it written that Zhang Ruochen can recover his cultivation with just a thought?

Answer: This was the original setting, and it was always written at the moment when he was ready to recover his cultivation. But, I really couldn't stand the criticism from readers, so I wrote it in advance.

No matter if readers scold me for being watery or slow, I have never compromised and do not want to explain. After all, if I write books according to readers' ideas, it will definitely be a failure. I have always insisted on writing at my own pace. This time, I have compromised! Of course, it is also because the protagonist will recover his cultivation soon, so the impact is not big. Sixth, the word "He" is used a lot, and it does not refer to anyone in particular. As long as the gender is not known in the book for the time being, as long as the character is mysterious enough, "He" will be used instead. Finally, there are too many characters and too many story lines. Interested readers can follow the WeChat public account "Feitianyu". Old fans know that this public account has been serialized for many years. Every day, the story lines of new characters and past events are sorted out to facilitate better reading.
