It’s finished. It’s expected to be about 1.5 million words, and it ended up being 144.5? It’s rare that the estimated word count is relatively accurate, there was quite a difference in the past... -_-!
(To be honest, I have never understood why so many people ask how many words they plan to write in every book. Which author’s plan is consistent with the actual one? I’m not sure. What’s the use of asking←_←Especially what to ask so early in the morning) I finished the book by that time, so how do I know if it’s too late? I don’t even know what time I’m going to finish writing this chapter that day)
By the way, my health is really bad now. I feel tired and stiff at the end of writing each book. I feel exhausted both mentally and physically, as if my brains have been drained...
I have to exercise. If I continue, it won’t be a matter of stopping and procrastinating. I’m afraid everyone will take pills.
Although it seemed a little difficult to write in the final stage, this book is the most enjoyable book I have ever written. The content is comfortable, the background is comfortable, the characters are comfortable, and the characters are comfortable to get along with. Many parts are written very easily, and the criticisms are also very Less, the mental state is really comfortable. Even the most disgusting reports in the past had nothing to do with me, so I was in a good mood from beginning to end.
Especially in the first half, my wife often asked me, "Why are you smiling while writing?"...I think you should also often see Auntie on the Cell Phone in Bed laughing. This is the original intention of this book, and it has been achieved.
I am honored that this book can accompany you through a relaxing and joyful time. You can shout "Qiuqiu~my Qiuqiu", curse a few short little Ge/short little chicken, and close the page with a slight smile under the warm sunset. .
This is enough.
In the later period, in order to fill in the pits and write out the changes of Chu Ge after he grew up, there was a little more layout and so on. It was a bit tiring to write, but it may not be as easy to read as before. But I still had a lot of fun writing it, and it felt very fulfilling to watch the characters grow and fill in the gaps.
I have always felt that being able to fill in all the pitfalls and complete the story is the greatest satisfaction for an author.
As for the Chu Ge who became Heavenly Dao and the mortal Chu Ge, some people think that the characters are separated. Then I recommend "Douluo Dalu 5". I ask for blessings when the God King reincarnates. He will never change his heart and will not be separated at all.
Well, I must emphasize again that Chu Ge is really not my prototype. He and Zhang Qiren are a collection of outstanding attributes of the profession of Internet writers. The only similarities between Chu Ge and me are probably writing about harems and There are two elements of resignation, and the others are very different.
Why do you keep emphasizing that it's not me? Because the reading perspective is easily biased by this way of opening. Every sentence you read seems to be Ji Cha's self-narration. In fact, it has no such meaning. It is a professional article and expresses the Internet writer. The overall situation - especially the situation during the rush period.
It was a dream that the heroine ran away. In the background of being discriminated against in real life, the book has its own Yan Ruyu. This strong contrast makes it a pure dream and fairy tale for an author who is desperate, just like the match seller. The little girl is almost done...
This fairy tale is gradually completed in the process of the two's love, and the next "creation fairy tale" gradually becomes the theme.
Every book is a world, and the authors of Zaipujie are all creation gods. "It would be great if they come true." Chugo said that this is his path. I think it should be 99% of the authors. Dreams in the heart.
If you are truly emotionally invested, the characters you write will be alive.
It’s not that I love writing about creation (actually I should have avoided this theme, after all, the first two books were about this), but if the author is the protagonist, he is indeed creating the world, which cannot be avoided and should not be avoided.
Chu Ge's strength is not obtained through practice, nor is it a step-by-step upgrade. It may lack a sense of reality... But using "Creation" as an indicator, it is practice throughout the entire text, and the theme has always remained unchanged.
In the end, both fairy tales were written. This is the meaning of this book.
I am very satisfied.
As for hard cultivation and hard strength, I will slowly make up for it in the long time and autumn in the future.
Some people have said before that they cannot find the feeling of Spring and Autumn, or the feeling of asking questions. This is of course, because this book is about something completely different from before, and it still has the same feeling as before. Lonely? Originally, the feeling of the old work should not be related to this one... Unfortunately, my personal style is still relatively strong, so I can't break away from it...
Actually, I didn't know how to write about daily life before... Emotional drama and daily life are two different things. I used to focus on emotional drama, and there was very little daily life. This also led to the feeling that previous works had a "catch up with the plot", and there were few other fillers between two events. For example, there was almost no description of the life between the male and female protagonists.
And this book has given me a lot of benefits. It can be a good scenery for home life, cooking and shopping.
Also thanks to everyone who enjoyed these, I had a lot of fun writing them.
Then, I tried to solve a major problem that the single heroine hoped to break through, and gained a lot of experience.
As we all know, I couldn’t control the number of female protagonists in the past... The unicorn arm was always uncontrollable. When writing a female supporting role, it's natural to give some characterization. The characterization was cute but couldn't help but add drama, and the result was ambiguous and had to be abandoned. I used to often say that this should be controlled within
The negative consequence of the expansion in quantity is that the writing and ink cannot be allocated in the later stage. If everyone wants to be given a role, they will not be able to take care of it, and they will be homogenized or stereotyped; if they are not given a role, the heroine will be "hidden" and "have no sense of existence", which is a dilemma. Forcibly trying to balance it all resulted in the plot being divided into pieces.
When I first decided to try being a single girl, my biggest expectation was to break through this point, and my biggest worry was that I couldn't control this point.
Fortunately, I got it under control this time. Mengmeng is very cute, Xuanji is very cute, and Ruoyan Fei'er is actually pretty good... But if you control your ambiguous mind, they are just passers-by. Since they have nothing to do with the protagonist, there is no need to consider whether they have a role or whether they are gods. Hidden, what was once the most troublesome problem no longer becomes a problem here.
I hope to continue this feeling with more female protagonists, control some quantity, and allocate more pen and ink to the existing characterization and plot.
This is very important. It is probably the most concentrated point of my writing bottleneck over the years. I hope I can make progress in my next book. I also hope that everyone will not think "female protagonist +1" when they see a named female character. This is really a lose-lose situation. I can't handle it. In the end, everyone themselves feel that there is no point in using facial makeup.

Having said so many good things, there are also some bad things to say. As a test field for the first attempt, this book is bound to have shortcomings, and they are obvious.
I have long said that the natural disadvantages of this type of writing are that daily sweet articles can easily get boring, make people unable to pick them up after reading them, and they cannot be written long.
This is not a "single female protagonist" type of problem, but a detailed problem of "daily love stories". In this category, the more representative authors are Hua Jie, Kissing Pig, and a few others, and most of their works are hundreds of thousands of words in total, and some are only in the millions.
Of course, it’s not impossible to be short, others have written well. However, although I myself have always been short, I am not used to it being shorter than one million words. I want it to be 10CM, not 5CM, right... Now that I want to write it, I wonder if I can lengthen it to a relatively normal word count range.
That is to say, adding elements such as superpowers to connect the main line, and using various plots in and outside the book to expand the rich content.
But how to put it...the ideal is full, but the actual operation is not satisfactory.
Because there is a sense of separation between the style of daily love stories and the style of supernatural combat, it is difficult to integrate bland warmth with tension and suspense.
Many people should have this feeling. Once they enter the main plot and write about daily life, they will feel that the bland and warm feeling they used to like becomes watery at this time, because it cuts the expectations of the main plot into pieces;
And if the plot is compact, the daily warm tone that should be the main focus is lost.
So we often encounter that when writing about daily life, some people feel that it is not enough and urges the plot to be completed, while when writing about the main story, some people feel that it is "not that interesting anymore". This kind of seesaw controversy continues from dozens of chapters to the end of the book without end.
After careful consideration in the early stage, some planned urban battle plots were cut off or reduced to ensure the tone of daily sweet stories. This also leads to some fragmentation, that is, the story of Nanjiang is much simpler, and many settings such as the Black Room and many of Lin Wuyang's presets are not used.
At the same time, it is also because there are many scruples about urban settings and they dare not expand blindly - so many people will set the background in Tokyo when writing about cities, which can indeed avoid a lot of trouble.
The urban superpowers can be simplified, and the worst is to get scolded a few times, but the plot in the book cannot be simplified. That is the main line that must exist in the setting of "the heroine ran out of the book". If there is no plot line in the book, this There is no point in setting a framework.
So in the middle and later stages, I began to increase the plot of the book and moved the urban background to the entire world.
When the background of the battle is placed abroad, and the fantasy overshadows the urban reality, the trouble basically disappears. Of course, this has also led many readers to feel that the city has become fantasy...it is difficult to have your cake and eat it too.
Although I personally feel that the plot in the book is well written and the feedback has been good, I must admit that the problem of fragmentation still exists objectively.
Anyway, we can’t blame it entirely on objective factors. There is indeed a lack of ability. The composition in mind cannot be perfectly realized, and the level is like this... What’s even more tragic is that the operation is as fierce as a tiger. In order to solve the problem of "it's easy to look at but can't pick it up" The problem seems to have not been solved at all.
Scratching your head.
No wonder others would rather keep it short than add these things. If I still want to write this kind of thing in the future, I will write a sweet one with hundreds of thousands of words. It should be more comfortable.
Another problem is the mistakes caused by my past habits.
Qiuqiu shouldn't have pushed it so early.
Because there is no push, there is still a natural sense of expectation in daily ambiguity, how to go further, how to make the heart feel excited, how to whet the appetite. But once pushed, these expectations are gone, and the appetite cannot be whetted. The daily life of an old couple is naturally dominated by intimate scenes. It can no longer be the blushing and heart-pounding scenes of love - and intimacy is often not regarded as daily life. It is classified in driving or even hydrology.
I bet there are a lot of people who feel bored after driving because "all that's left is driving."
This is a serious mistake caused by my long-term habit of "accepting girls simply" and "not hanging people up". Different types of works have different needs.
Okay, no more summary.
Forgive an author who has experienced a major transformation for the first time for his desire to review his transformation works... In fact, these summaries are of little significance to readers. These are things from the author's perspective - of course, a large proportion of the readers of this book are authors. …
————
In short, although there are many problems, it is still successful in terms of the overall goal. I am very satisfied with being able to write like this for my first transformation. If any readers are dissatisfied, I would like to apologize, but my ability is really limited.
And the next book will be a story with a different feeling... Because the dream about the master's appointment has been completed, I don't have much need for grades, and I have the urge to write something I like.
For example, I like martial arts and know that it is easy to kill... Of course, I haven't thought about it now, so I can only say that it is undecided. We will see when the time comes. It may even be possible to challenge Western Fantasy... I can't say at this time. .
The expected direction is as mentioned above, reducing the number of female protagonists and focusing more on the plot and the characterization of the existing female protagonists. This will be the main direction of the next book. Maybe it’s closer to the early stage of asking?
The idea is like this. I don’t know if I can achieve what I want when I write it. Just like this book wants to combine super powers but the coordination is not good, I don’t know what it will be like when the time comes. It may be super bad... …so don’t expect anything.
I am getting older, my body is getting worse, and my brain is getting stiffer. Although I have always been very energetic, I have been trying different themes, trying to break through my own bottlenecks, but now I really start to feel a little powerless, at least I don’t have the confidence that I had when I first wrote Rampage eight years ago, "I will definitely look better if I write this kind of subject." .
The reading time may also be very late, the earliest is the end of this year, the latest is next year... take some more rest and exercise.
That’s all, see you guys then…
