Throne of Magical Arcana

When writing the topic, in the words of literary and artistic points, I really have mixed feelings in my heart, and now I can finally speak frankly about my position on "Arcane": a book under the fantasy category with a fantasy skin Science fiction, well, at least by the standards of the starting point, this is indeed an undergraduate fantasy.

I did n’t know why I was so open-minded that I wanted to write such a wonderful book, but since I was a child, I love science and science fiction, and my previous complaints about the eunuchs of the "Future Library" usually draw some of the imagination. Things finally merged into the "Arcane Throne" you saw.

This is a very strange book. I defined it myself. It first had a complete set, and then there were stories and characters.

It is based on the confrontation between the parliament and the church, the growth of Lucien, the development of arcane and music, and the change of society into several alternating main lines, but the dark main line remains unchanged, that is, the gradual exploration of the overall world setting. It should be considered a relatively rare arrangement of writing structure.

Therefore, in my heart, the true climax of Arcane is only one complete and three half-cuts comparable to Jindan and Yuanshen in Meiyunli, one of which is Lucien ’s first play of Destiny. At the time, this was an explosion of the depressed life in the front, the foundation of the mood of the whole book, and the melody throughout the text.

The second half is Lucian helping Levski, telling you that your eyes will deceive you. It is a reflection of the regrets and regrets that many scientists failed to recognize before they died. The mathematical tone of the arcane content.

The third half is in "The Burning Throne", where Luntat wars to the end Lucien puts forward the general theory of relativity, and Douglas looks into the starry sky. This is, uh, this is the victory of arcane, the chance for the speaker ’s soul to come alive, It was the detonation of most contradictions and conflicts in the previous period.

However, there is only one complete climax, that is, the last scene where Lucien's "mouth cannon" defeated Viken. This is the bloom of the dark line of the whole book, the real main line. "Arcane" journal, knowing the strange beginning of the planet, the whole book is nearly three million words, drawn out layer by layer, layer by layer, just for the glory and splendor of that moment.

To be honest, in order to write this book in such a wonderful structure, I have experienced or encountered more difficulties than when I wrote the destiny.

There will always be some people who scold me because introducing science into Western fantasy seems to tarnish their "faith". In fact, there are many people who do not like arcane fantasy like this reason, but they are very reasonable and normal. After all, everyone has different tastes and ca n’t force them to ignore each other. But there are always crazy dogs, self-centered guys who are always black and spraying for this reason over and over again.

There will always be people who doubt that it is unscientific and there is no way to explain it. I clearly put it differently and said it is the pit afterwards, but why do people always ignore it, and the "hole is really big" over and over again, "complete collapse "", "Trash novel" scolded?

This is external hardship. For me, it is just a moment of anger. There is no need to say a lot of words. You just have to finish your settings and stories a little bit in a hurry to let the arcane bloom bloom. The light can prove everything, and doing is more important than saying!

The real difficulty comes from my own writing. The essays with concepts and no details are pale. In order to make up for the lack of accumulation after many years of work, I spent the year reading the reference books and materials, and devising ideas More time than I actually wrote.

What should I do if I feel dizzy?Take a break and continue watching!People live a breath, the Buddha fights for incense sticks, the harder others scold, the better I have to write, and everyone's support also makes me dare not have any perfunctory blame, for fear of failing your love.

After writing the text, I really had a feeling of mental exhaustion. The whole person was empty and had no limbs and no energy to do anything, but he was satisfied except for exhaustion. Finally, he thought of the thing he had been thinking for a long time. Completely presented in front of everyone!The nearly three million words of narration finally completed the whole text in the last scene, and the entire arcane has a spine!

Although this is not "scientific" or "sci-fi", at least in the arcane tone of the full text, it is justified, one after the other, and it can deduce some details.

In fact, many friends were surprised when the arcane writing came to the end, whether it is the reader or the author's friend, because this is only one year, it seems to be over?

Many friends told me that the current works can only maximize their value for at least a year and a half to two years, so that readers can get used to following, become hardcore, and lay the foundation for the next book.

Many readers also told me that I have n’t read enough yet and want to see more content.

Moreover, the arcane game party also hopes to be able to serialize it to September and October at a rate of 100,000 words per month, to keep the heat, otherwise the game may be underpopulated.

Moreover, Qi Haijun from the starting point, they are also helping me to make radio dramas, data booklets, accessories, music collections and other surroundings. They have been doing it for a while. The best way to do it is to end it in October.

To be honest, I was really hesitant at the time. On the one hand, it was Qi Haijun ’s love, and on the other hand, it was a huge sum of money in the game. Who does n’t love the money? For the sake of solving the mystery to the end, for the completeness of the whole, and the time when it must end, I ca n’t open a new map and give a new level, which is simply not in line with the tone and atmosphere of the entire book.

At that time, I was not very satisfied with the development of the world, I tried to start from this aspect, but in the end I found that the arcane system and the adventure and the development of the world itself are contradictory, so there is no way, what to do or what to do, I have to Give Arcane enough to match its end, and a "final battle" that you thought about before writing the first word.

I am not ambitious to write a classic novel that can be circulated, nor is it high-spirited, but I am stubborn, I am stubborn to be worthy of subscribing to Arcane, who voted for Arcane, I want to give you one The perfect climax in my heart.

This is my attitude towards Arcane, and my attitude towards writing!

I know very well that I do n’t have many geniuses like the authors, nor the speed and ability to make a quick change. Even before I wrote out, the articles I wrote, except for the 800-word composition, add up to It is hard to say without five thousand words. When I was studying, I was good at mathematics and physics, not writing in Chinese. Therefore, I do n’t have any money to spend. I can only treat each book with the most sincere attitude and write with my heart. To learn, to absorb, to correct, only in this way can I go far and walk steadily!

Therefore, I am reading slowly now. I see good words and good sentences, and they will be excerpted and read repeatedly. Therefore, every time I write a chapter, the pre-thinking and the post-modification are equivalent to or even more than the writing. Time, so I can start from the sloppy writing at the beginning of Mei Yun, to barely go to the table in the middle and later stages of Mei Yun, and then reach the level of Arcane, so I can recognize my defects and make up for it slowly, but constantly progress.

Such an attitude is the capital I rely on for my life and my only life, so I can only choose to close it in the best way, not to think about anything else, even if it will lose a lot of opportunities, even if it is because the book is not long enough, fans The cohesion is not enough, and I have no regrets. I just feel sorry for the love and efforts of Dao Ye, Starfish MM, Qingshanjun and Qihaijun.

I believe that even if the next book has poor grades for various reasons, as long as I always hold such an attitude, such a belief, then under the next book, and then the book, I will eventually return to the position of the current monthly ticket list. , Even higher!

Fortunately, things changed later.

Thanks to Master Dao and the game party for their understanding, and thank you Qingshan Jun and Kangaroo Jun for their hard work. Therefore, after the text is over, you must write a few chapters, at least one chapter per day serialized to September.

Originally, after I wrote the post-Ocean surgery, I was exhausted, and I wanted to take a three-month break to prepare the new book. Now, people understand this way, I ca n’t shame my face, and I can write a lot of things outside. So, friends who are willing to see Fanwai, from April 10th, every day at 8:50 in the morning to update a chapter for everyone to pass the time before work, before that, I have to take leave to go to the grave, by the way to rest and restore energy, Do some private chores.

Initially, I have thought about two extra-thinking ideas and stories, which are about 100,000 words. The first one is about the shadow of Lucien in the shadow of Lucien twenty or thirty years later. In an "industrialized" society, there will be a lot of supporting roles in the text, which can be regarded as a side ending.

The second time was the late "Dawn War". The Magic Council, which was recorded from the perspective of another magician, established the "Secret History".

In addition, there may be two exceptions, but for the time being there are only ideas, no specific stories, and then the first two will be written before the announcement.

After saying this, it is a summary of the conventions. There is no doubt that you have to praise yourself first.

First, Arcane has made progress in characterization compared to the era of destruction. At least Natasha, Rheinland, Atena, Felipe, Fernando, Douglas and others have their own personalities and different temperaments; second , The writing has improved; third, the mastery of succession and transformation is better, and the ability to tell stories is better; fourth, the entire arcane system has not collapsed, and the headshot is quite new; fifth, many The plot is great, and I am most satisfied that when Xiaolu sends a letter to the Dark Mountains, the section of the nightmare king outlines the soul with dreams; fifth, outlines the changes in society from the perspective of small people, showing the overall arcane Society and the thesis line happen to complement each other.

There are still many areas worthy of self-commendation, but this is not the point, the point is to summarize the problem and correct the problem.

The most important shortcoming is also in the shaping of the characters. Due to the wonderful set of his own real main line and the system of the paper to enhance its strength, Lucien ’s progress is fast, and the progress is fast, so that the supporting actors ca n’t keep up. The relatively brilliant characters that I created initially gradually failed to keep up, no more drama, or slowly Facebook, even Natasha, the heroine, could not find the opportunity to "spread" her own light for a while. , And finally "barely" returned.

I have known this problem long ago, but I cannot deliberately suppress the arcane line, so I can only accumulate a lot of hardships. Of course, I have a relationship with my character that is not enough, and I need to summarize, refine and learn.

The second shortcoming is also the defect of the setting itself. The arcane line here is an academic debate. There is fierceness in leisure. No matter the atmosphere, character formation, or environment, it is incompatible with the adventure line. This makes me write an adventure. In the plot, it is always difficult to bring out the atmosphere, it looks messy, it seems that the whole plot is unnecessary, it does not matter, in this case, fighting is naturally difficult to write.

The third is still this problem, which has caused the world to be unable to expand. It can only rewrite the three places of Aalto, Allinge, and Luntat. After all, if the arcane is the main thing, if the trail goes out for a long time , That will definitely be spurned.

Fourth, the magic fight is weak, not as smooth as Xianxia.

Fifth, there is a problem with a small part of the plot setting, and the desired atmosphere is not achieved. In comparison, when the "Silver and White Horn" in front, the overall atmosphere is brought out.

There are many other fragmentary problems. I will slowly summarize it myself. When I write more than four months, I will start to prepare a new book. The theme of the new book is Xianxia, ​​and there is no problem with the fantasy. A small part More classical, most, how to say, when you read it, you will know, anyway, it is a product of a big brain hole, I hope that from the settings can avoid some problems of arcane character and plot promotion.

I already have abdomen cases in many of the plots, which makes me very excited and reverie. Similarly, I also need a lot of knowledge and materials to make up for evil. Then, in September, we will start again!

Finally, on April 10th, friends who like to see Fanwai, please continue to support, after the entity and the surrounding will be launched one after another.

In the end, I thank those who accused me, curse me, and despise me, and thank you for the many hardships and sufferings on this road, so that I can polish my glory step by step, hardship and hardship, Yuruyuchengcheng!

Finally, finally, thank you. Without you, I would be nothing.

The squid worships.
