The Book of Troubled Times

Due to illness these days, my condition is really not good, and the update time is unstable. I'd better take a rest and adjust the time.

Also, let me say a few words about these recent plots.

This plot has nothing to do with illness or anything like that, because the sense of immersion in this plot is definitely lacking.

It is not like the previous situation where the protagonist is involved in some difficult situation and tries to solve it - maybe it is just about surviving on a desert island, and that is not what the big plot is about.

As for the whole plot, it is actually Lao Zhao who is involved in other people's stories, and uses this to show a picture of the characters in the sea, including loyal ministers, heroes, traitors, and the game between forbearing emperors and gods and demons.

In other words, these plots are written by others, not Zhao Changhe. Zhao Changhe only plays a detective role and unfolds these pictures for everyone.

He has no pressure to survive and no sense of urgency. Things have nothing to do with him in the first place. It is understandable that he will get a boring feeling of "it's none of my business, I don't care" when reading.

And due to the limitation of Zhao Changhe's personal perspective, many details are invisible, which makes it appear "fast", because he can only see these and want to elaborate, but there is nothing to say.

The reason why I chose this way of writing is not to seek a breakthrough or to create a group portrait, because that's the logic.

Things at sea are none of his business, no one is targeting him, and his strength is not as difficult as when he was weak before. He is already a character who can preside over the situation. Now he is taking the initiative to cause trouble for the Poseidon. As of now, he doesn't even know where the Poseidon is. Naturally, he has to get involved through other side stories. Of course, you can also deepen your relationship with Turtle.

In other words, these current chapters are a side story about others, not the story of the protagonist. I think a lot of people who are interested in other people's stories say it's well written; but those who feel that other people's stories are "none of their business" probably just don't know what this paragraph is about.

But a book cannot be without other people’s stories.

I remember when I asked about the postscript, I once said that I wanted to expand the story of Yu Zhenren and his friends and write more from their perspective. But I gave up later because I felt that many people would not read it. At that time, many people said no, no, it should be like that. Facts have proved that the choice made back then was correct. There is a lot of lack of sense of immersion in other people's stories.

Spread your hands.

Anyway, there won’t be many writing methods like this in the future, it’s just a lead, so you don’t need to worry about it. If you like this section, read it carefully. If you don't, just skip it.

As for those who say "conspiracy can't be written well", please, there is no conspiracy from beginning to end... I really can't write something that doesn't exist.
