I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages

...

I want to make a summary, and I have a lot of thoughts at once, and I don't know where to start.

Let's talk about the ending.

Roger's departure at the end was settled from the beginning.

The way and the scene of leaving almost echoed the scene when he left Tongma Town.

In fact, from the moment Roger walked into the wetland alone, he was doomed to always move forward bravely alone.

The same goes for the tone of this book.

Although I tried to shape some supporting roles during the writing process, they were all scratchy. There are very few supporting roles that occupy a particularly large role in the play, except for a certain tool man.

In this chapter yesterday.

Some book friends joked that this ending is that the tool man defeated the partner. I read it again and again and said it was wonderful!

That's exactly what it is.

For Roger.

His heart is strong enough.

He may feel alone.

Accompaniment may be required.

But down to earth.

At most he just needs a partner.

He is a microcosm of us playing stand-alone games

We may have experienced a magnificent epic plot.

We may have defeated all kinds of monsters.

We may have witnessed the beautiful scenery on the journey.

But we are one person all the way.

This loneliness is very weighty.

At least I personally enjoy this feeling.

When playing single player.

I can always get completely immersed in it.

I will forget all the troubles and worries of the real world.

In that moment I was invincible.

The same goes for this novel.

In reality, I may be afraid of loneliness, or a lot of sentimentality, or I may be tired of all kinds of mundane things.

But when I become Roger.

I will become very pure.

Simply becoming stronger is enough to make me extremely happy.

This is probably the source of my initial impulse to write this book.

...

After finishing writing the ending, go back and watch "Fat Lord" again.

I still narcissistically pat my thigh from time to time:

"It's so fucking beautiful!"

Especially the first one.

And my favorite is Roger's journey after he embarked on the southbound road.

Those were the most wonderful times.

Just like our teenagers.

At that time, the scenery was just right and the breeze was not dry.

Everything has just begun.

start.

It means endless possibilities.

There is a heart-wrenching longing.

It makes people can't wait to look forward to tomorrow's arrival.

The weird thing is.

When tomorrow does come.

No matter how beautiful he is.

It is also not as good as what I dreamed of.

laugh.

...

"Father" is a beautiful work.

Anyway, I like it too much.

Although he has all kinds of shortcomings.

And at the end stage, it caused a very bad reading experience for everyone. I would like to apologize again. If I hadn’t been hit hard physically and mentally, and I almost couldn’t hold back, I wouldn’t suddenly stop updating at the end. in this way.

I still think it's a well-done work.

Everything that needs to be written has been written.

The holes dug were also filled in at a very early stage.

Although many people feel rushed at the end.

But this phenomenon is actually quite normal.

Because readers and writers share the same brain.

Many times, from the reader's point of view, there is still a lot of fantasy content in the past. This is the charm of the fantasy carrier of text, but there is really nothing left on the author's side.

Certain seasoned readers have already seen this.

As this work with the theme of becoming stronger.

In fact, the closing signal was sent out very early.

And about Roger's change of mind.

It will push this signal to its climax.

From an unknown adventurer at the beginning, he later discovered that he had the strength of the left and right sides, and then changed his cautious nature and the law of prudent self-protection to frequently guard the side, so that he later became a frequent visitor to the savior...

There is a process of continuous strengthening.

But after reaching the peak.

Throwing in a bit of my own personal stuff is the notion that Guardians can't be eternal.

It's as if the fallen gods of today were once the heroes of the planet.

I have always believed that no matter how firm the will is, it will not be able to withstand the accumulated corrosion of standing still.

no matter who.

Any kind of hero.

You can only stay alive if you keep moving forward.

Otherwise, it will continue to fall.

This is an unchangeable law.

So Roger's departure follows that logic.

I used to read a lot of novels.

The ending of a certain protagonist becoming a god of creation, and then living happily in a world with the heroine always confuses me.

It's as if we don't know if Prince Charming and Snow White's married life will be full of trivialities and if those constant protagonists will gradually become decadent and reserved over the years?

Everyone may have their own opinion on this question.

I won't talk much.

The above are just my personal immature private goods.

I still like to keep going.

Even if it never ends.

...

...

After talking about the subjective feelings, let's talk about the shortcomings.

In fact, there are quite a lot of problems with "Fa Ye".

The supporting characters are thin.

Shuang Dian has high repeatability.

A large number of detailed settings created great difficulties for later writing.

Such shortcomings can list a large basket.

But personally.

The biggest mistake I made was always insisting on the principle of "everything is small" in the narrative structure.

No matter what the protagonist does.

I seem to have to write it out a little bit.

This is what I discovered when I looked back at the whole book during the break.

Especially later.

I should have speeded up the main plot with a more detailed and appropriate writing method.

If I had to rewrite this book.

I will keep the word count within 2.4 million words.

Cut unnecessary content.

This increases the excitement.

This conclusion may be contrary to what many readers think. This is the difference between the reader's perspective and the author's perspective.

laugh.

In short.

I have benefited a lot from Faye's creative process.

I personally like this fast-paced writing style.

This will inevitably lead to fatigue problems in the later stage.

This question is basically unsolvable.

The solution I have come up with so far is to reduce the word count!

Most of the current web articles are two to three million words or even four to five million words... To be honest, it is a bit too long.

It's better to increase the excitement and plot density.

So I will probably try to compress the word count for the next book.

Two million four hundred thousand words may be a better length.

Of course these are just imaginations.

How to implement it depends on the follow-up creation.

...

There seems to be no point in talking so much in a mess.

When I think of this testimonial, the book is really over.

There will still be some regret in my heart.

Thank you for your support along the way.

Hope to see more familiar faces in the new book.

good luck.
