Part 8 The Road to Immortality Remarks: Hardships Yu Ru Yucheng

    When I wrote the title, to use a literary term, I really had mixed feelings in my heart. Now I can finally honestly state my positioning of "Arcana": a book placed under the category of fantasy and covered with fantasy.  Science fiction, well, at least by the standards of the starting point, this is indeed a science fiction book.

    At the beginning, I didn¡¯t know why I wanted to write such a weird book, but my love for popular science and science fiction since I was a child, my previous resentment towards the eunuchs in "Library of the Future", and my usual convulsive derivation of imagination.  Things finally merged to form the "Arcane Throne" you see.

    This is a very strange book. This is how I define it. It first has a complete setting, and then the story and characters.

    Overtly, it is based on the confrontation between the Parliament and the Church, Lucien's growth, the development of arcana and music, and the changes in society as several alternating main lines, but the dark main line remains the same, that is, the gradual exploration of the overall world setting.  It should be regarded as a relatively rare writing structure arrangement.

    Therefore, in my mind, the real "gao chao" of arcane magic can be compared with the golden elixir and soul in Destruction. There are only one complete one and three halves. One of the half halves was played by Lucien for the first time.  When reading "Destiny", it is an explosion of the repressed and miserable life before. It is the foreshadowing of the main emotional tone of the whole book and the melody that runs through the whole text.

    The second half is the part where Lucien helps Levsky and tells you that your eyes will deceive you. When I was studying in the past, I reflected the regret and regret that many scientists did not receive recognition before they died. It runs throughout the whole  Mathematical tone of arcane content.

    The third half is in "The Burning Throne". At the end of the Rentate battle, Lucien proposed the general theory of relativity, and Douglas looked at the starry sky. This is, well, this is the victory of the arcane, and it is the opportunity for the Speaker's soul to become alive.  It was the detonation of most of the contradictions and conflicts in the early stage.

    but.  There is only one complete "gao chao", which is the final scene where Lucien defeats Viken with his "talking". This is the blooming of the dark line of the whole book, that is, the real main line. After crossing the path, I discovered the Soul Library. It was the first time I read it.  Go to the Arcane Journal and learn about the strange beginnings of the planet.  The whole book has nearly three million words, which are introduced layer by layer and foreshadowed layer by layer, just for the glory and brilliance of that moment.

    To be honest, in order to write this book with such a strange structure, I experienced or encountered many more difficulties than when I wrote Destiny.

    There are always some people who scold me.  Because the introduction of science into Western fantasy seems to have tarnished their "belief". In fact, there are many people who don't like arcane fantasy for similar reasons, but they are all sensible and normal. After all, everyone has different tastes.  You can't force it, just ignore each other, but there are always some crazy dogs, self-centered guys, who always use this reason over and over again to complain and complain.

    There will always be people who question whether this is unscientific or not, but I clearly put the differences there.  It was said to be a pitfall later on, but why do some people always turn a blind eye and scold it over and over again with "the loopholes are really big", "completely broken", and "junk novel"?

    This is an external difficulty, and for me, it is just a moment of anger.  There is no need to say a lot of things. You just need to tell your settings and stories bit by bit in a leisurely manner, and let the arcana shine as it should, and you can prove everything.  Actions speak louder than words!

    The real difficulty actually comes from my own writing. A text with only concepts and no details is pale. In order to make up for the shortcomings accumulated after many years of work, I spent this year reading reference books and materials, and spending time on conceiving ideas.  The time I spend reading is more than the time I spend actually writing.

    What should I do if I feel dizzy?  Take a break and continue watching!  Every breath of life is like a stick of incense. The harder others criticize me, the better I will write. And everyone¡¯s support makes me dare not do anything half-heartedly, for fear of letting down your love.

    After writing the main text, I really felt mentally and physically exhausted. My head was empty, my limbs were weak, and I had no energy to do anything. But besides being tired, I was satisfied. I finally put into perspective what I had thought about for a long time.  It is perfectly presented to everyone!  The story of nearly three million words finally comes together in the last scene, and the whole arcana has a backbone!

    Although this cannot be said to be very "scientific" or "science fiction", at least it is fairly self-explanatory in the arcane tone of the whole text, connected from beginning to end, and can deduce some detailed things.

    In fact, when I finished writing Arcana, many friends were surprised, whether they were readers or author friends, because it had only been a year and it seemed to be over?

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

    Many readers also told me that there is noEnough, I want to see more content.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The game is also a 100,000-word monthly rate, that is, one chapter a day, serialized until September and October to maintain its popularity, otherwise the game may not be popular enough by then.

    Moreover, Nanami-kun and the others here at Qidian are also helping me make radio dramas, information booklets, accessories, music collections and other peripherals. They have been doing it for a while. It will take May or June to complete it, and I want to give full play to the peripherals.  It would be best if it ends in September or October.

    To be honest, I was really hesitant at the time. On the one hand, it was because of the love of Nanami-kun and the others, and on the other hand, it was a huge sum of money from the game. Who doesn¡¯t love money? However, I had already finished writing The Dead World at that time.  For me, the puzzle solving is at the last moment. For the sake of overall perfection, it has come to an end. It is impossible for me to open new maps and give new levels. This is simply inconsistent with the tone and atmosphere of the entire book.

    At that time, I was not very satisfied with the unfolding of the world, so I tried to start from this aspect, but in the end I found that the arcane system was contradictory to adventure and the unfolding of the world, so there was no other way. I had to do whatever I wanted.  Give Arcane an ending that matches it well, a "final battle" that was thought of before the first word was written.

    I am not ambitious enough to write a classic novel that can be spread, nor am I arrogant or willful, but I am stubborn, and I am determined to be worthy of those of you who have subscribed to Arcane and voted for Arcane, I want to give you a  The perfect big "gaochao" in my heart.

    This is my attitude towards "Arcana", and this is also my attitude towards writing articles!

    I know very clearly that I don¡¯t have the genius of many authors, nor do I have the speed and ability to write ten chapters at once.  Even before writing about the fate of destruction, apart from the 800-word composition, it is difficult to say whether the articles I wrote totaled 5,000 words. When I was studying, I was good at mathematics and physics, not Chinese writing, so.  I don¡¯t have any capital to squander. I can only treat every book with the most sincere attitude, write with heart, learn, absorb, and correct.  Only in this way can I go far and steadily!

    Therefore, I read very slowly now. When I see good words and sentences, I will excerpt them.  I read it over and over again, so every time I write a chapter, the deliberation beforehand and the revision afterward are equivalent to or even exceed the writing time. Therefore, I can go from a rough writing style at the beginning of Destiny to a barely able to write in the middle and late stages of Destiny.  mesa.  After I basically reached the level of arcane skills, I was able to recognize my shortcomings, make up for them with my heart, and make slow but constant progress.

    This attitude is the only capital I rely on to survive, so I can only choose to end it in the best way.  Don't think about anything else, even if it means losing a lot of opportunities, even if it means the book is not long enough and the fans are not cohesive enough.  I don¡¯t have any regrets, I just feel sorry for Dao Ye, Haixing MM, Aoyama-kun and Nanami-kun for their love and efforts.

    I believe that even if the next book does not do well due to various reasons, as long as I always hold this attitude and this belief, then the next book, and the next book, I will eventually return to my current position on the monthly ticket list  , and even stand taller!

    Fortunately, things turned around later.

    ??Thanks to Mr. Dao and the game developers for their understanding, and to Mr. Qingshan and Mr. Kangaroo for their hard work. Therefore, after the main text is completed, I must write several medium-length extras and serialize them one chapter a day at least until September.

    Originally, after I finished writing the arcana, I was exhausted mentally and physically, and wanted to take a three-month break before preparing a new book. Now, people understand this, and I can¡¯t be shameless, and I can write quite a lot of extras.  , so friends who are willing to watch the extra chapter, starting from April 10th, a chapter will be updated every morning at 8:50 for everyone to kill time before going to work. Before that, I have to take leave to go home to visit the grave, take a rest and regain energy.  Do some personal chores.

    I have initially thought about the ideas and stories of two extra chapters, both of which are about 100,000 words each. The first one talks about twenty or thirty years later, the shadow of Lucien, uh, no, the "arcane" in the halo.  "Industrialized" society, many supporting characters from the main story will appear, which can be regarded as a side ending for them.

    The second extra is the "secret history" of the establishment of the Magic Council recorded from the perspective of another magician in the late Dawn War.

    There may be two additional extras, but for now I only have ideas and no specific stories. I will make a preview after writing the first two.

    Having said this, this is a summary of the routine. There is no doubt that I must praise myself first.

    First, compared to Destiny, Arcane has made progress in character creation. At least Natasha, Rhine, Aitna, Felipe, Fernando, Douglas and others have their own characters and different temperaments; secondly,  , the writing style has improved; third, the grasp of succession, transition and combination is better, telling stories?The ability is better; fourth, the entire arcane system has not collapsed, and headshots are quite innovative; fifth, many plots are great, and the one I feel most satisfied with is when Xiaolu delivers a letter to the Dark Mountains, the nightmare  The King's section uses dreams to outline the soul; fifth, it outlines social changes from the perspective of a small person, showing the overall arcane society, which is exactly the same as the thesis line, and complements each other.

    There are still many things worthy of self-praise, but these are not the focus. The focus is to summarize the problems and correct them.

    The most important shortcoming also lies in the character creation. Due to the weird setting of his real main plot and the system of improving the strength of the thesis, Lucien's progress is very fast, and the progress is so fast that the supporting characters cannot keep up. Many of them  The characters that were initially created with great brilliance gradually failed to keep up, had no role to play, or gradually faded away. Even Natasha, the heroine, could not find a chance to "bloom" for a period of time.  , and finally "reluctantly" returned.

    I have been aware of this problem for a long time, but I cannot deliberately suppress the arcane line, so I can only accumulate it. Of course, it is also because my own character creation skills are not enough, and I need to summarize, refine and learn from it.

    The second shortcoming is also a flaw in the setting itself. The arcane line here is an academic debate. It is leisurely and intense. No matter the atmosphere, characterization, or environment, it is incompatible with the adventure line. This makes me write adventures.  When plotting, it is always difficult to bring out the atmosphere. It seems messy and the whole plot is unnecessary and indifferent. Under such circumstances, fighting is naturally difficult to write.

    The third problem, again, is that the world cannot be expanded, and we can only rewrite the three places of Alto, Arlinge, and Rentat. After all, when arcana is the main focus, if you wander around on the path for a long time,  , that will definitely be spurned.

    Fourth, the magic combat is weak and not as smooth as the Xianxia.

    Fifth, there are problems with a small part of the plot settings and the desired atmosphere was not achieved. In comparison, the overall atmosphere was accentuated in the previous "Silver Corner".

    There are still a lot of other bits and pieces. I will summarize it slowly by myself. When I write the extra chapters in the past four months, I will start to prepare a new book. The subject matter of the new book can be fairy tales or fantasy. There is no problem in a small part.  It is relatively classical, for the most part, how should I say it? You will know when you watch it. Anyway, it is a product of a lot of imagination. I hope that the setting can avoid some of the problems of arcane characters and plot advancement.

    I already have a clue about many of the plots, which make me very excited and daydreaming. Similarly, I need to supplement a lot of knowledge and information. By then, in September or October, we will set off again!

    Finally, on April 10th, friends who like to watch the extras, please continue to support. After that, the physical products and peripherals will be launched one after another.

    Finally, I would like to thank those who criticized me, those who cursed me, those who looked down on me. Thanks for the many hardships and hardships along the way, which allowed me to polish my own glory step by step. After all the hardships, I have succeeded!

    The last, last, last, thank you, without you, I am nothing.
