[Guide to Beginning Fantasy Fiction Creation Reprinted]

One: Why write fantasy novels?

Since the emergence of online novels in China, fantasy and urban novels have always been the two mainstream genres. These two types of novels are popular, on the one hand, because they have the largest audience of readers, and on the other hand, they have the lowest writing threshold.

For the author, maximizing the readership of fantasy novels means that creating it can bring the author the greatest possible income, and there are more opportunities such as: publishing, animation, film and television adaptations, and game adaptations.

II: What is a fantasy novel?

Fantasy novels are a type of novels. To put it simply, they are fantasy novels with Chinese characteristics. They are Chinese-style fantasy novels based on Chinese oriental fantasy elements and integrated with Western magic and animation culture.

Three: The core of fantasy novels

Extensive reading is a prerequisite. In my long editing career, the captain, I have met too many authors. I haven’t read a few fantasy novels, but I confidently say that fantasy novels are just simple. I can do it!

As a result, they didn't even figure out the basic structure of fantasy novels, so naturally most of them went to failure.

First of all, let's take a look at what is the core of fantasy novels? ?

AWhat is the main body of the fantasy novel?

After more than ten years of development, fantasy novels have shifted from the core of the plot to the core of upgrades. The main body of fantasy novels is the absolute upgrade.

The so-called absolute upgrade means that everything revolves around the protagonist’s breakthrough to the next level or realm. Whether it’s the plot of the dungeon, the characters that appear, or the acquisition of various treasure materials, it all revolves around the word “upgrade” to expand.

Why do B fantasy novels need to be upgraded to absolute?

The main line of the original fantasy novels is mostly adventure, revenge, exploring life experience, and winning the hearts of beauties. Why has it become an absolute upgrade today?

This is determined by the length of the novel. Serialized and updated fantasy novels often have more than a million words. It is difficult for any of the above main lines to support such a long length.

Only the growth of one level after another, and the breakthrough of one realm after another, can support the serialization of several years.

At the same time, the pursuit of grades and the obsession with becoming stronger are also the main lines that readers highly agree with.

In addition, the main lines of revenge and life experience mentioned above can still be used as the main axis of the stage.

C grade system

The hierarchy system has become the basis of all upgrade novels.

First of all, let's look at the name of the level system. First, we can refer to some classic level settings, such as the level system of "Gone with the Wind", which has become the standard for almost all fantasy comprehension novels.

For example: Refining Qi - Building Foundation - Golden Elixir - Nascent Soul - Transforming God

The other is your own original level setting, which also requires learning and researching the setting of classic fantasy novels, and understanding the logic of the development of level system setting.

Here I can provide an original case of the captain for your reference. When the realm is developing, it will be clearer and more layered. You can try to infer other cases from one instance.

D grade system 2

What is the biggest point of setting the hierarchy?

Differentiation!

Differentiation means that the advantages and disadvantages of different levels must be reflected, and the high level must be superior to the low level in all aspects.

Let's take a look at the specific settings.

A second-level warrior is stronger than a first-level warrior, not just because of the change in his level numbers, two is more than one.

The first is the differentiation of power.

For example, a first-level fighter can punch three punches in one breath, and a second-level fighter can punch thirty punches in one breath.

For another example, a first-level martial artist can have a punch of one hundred catties of strength, and a second-level warrior can have a punch of five hundred catties of strength.

Clear differentiation will make readers more eager for the protagonist to upgrade and become stronger.

In addition to the differentiation of strength, there should also be the differentiation of economic environment and social status.

Let's use an exaggerated example:

For example, a first-level warrior earns one hundred gold coins a month, and a second-level warrior earns one thousand gold coins a month.

In terms of social status, first-level warriors can only be civilians forever, while second-level warriors may become princes of all lands.

Therefore, in terms of level setting, after different titles, it is necessary to make differentiated settings for strength, economy, and social status.

If it is too difficult for new authors, then at least do a good job of differentiation.

E Goldfinger

Goldfinger is actually not the real core of fantasy novels, but the previous article mentioned the upgrade system that is in line with it, so I will briefly talk about it here, why must there be Goldfinger?

Cheats can be understood as game cheats, or cheat modifiers.

Why should there be a golden finger?

Because the protagonist in fantasy novels, in the process of growing up, must surpass other characters. This is the basic law of fantasy novels.

At this time, the golden finger is extremely important, because its existence is the root cause that can convince readers that the protagonist grows faster and stronger than others.

A golden finger can be a book of mysterious exercises, or a sudden awakening of a certain ability, or even a nameless old man with great strength, or a possessed demon king. (For the design of the cheat, please refer to ——V. Simple template and analysis of fantasy novels)

In short, after the protagonist gets the golden finger, he must, with the help of a god, begin to transform and grow rapidly!

Speaking of the cheat, we can simply say that the adventure is often a pre-plot set up to obtain the cheat at the beginning of the novel.

Four: 3 key points that must be mastered in fantasy novels

1. Rhythm - Rhythm sounds like a very abstract thing, but it can determine the success or failure of a novel, so let's visualize it. The captain simply summed it up in four words, Zhang Chi Yin Yang!

A Zhang Chi

Zhang Chi refers to the tension and relaxation of the plot. Zhang Chi pays attention to one piece and one piece, and there is one piece and one piece.

To give an example of fantasy novels, after a tense and intense battle, another battle that makes readers nervous cannot start immediately. There must be a relaxing plot buffer in the middle, so that readers can relax first, so that they can better meet the battle. The next tense battle.

This Zhang Chi's logic, the captain called it the thriller theory!

In a thriller, if there are always tense and terrifying plots, the audience will quickly become numb. Between thrilling scenes, there must be scenes that make the audience relax, so that the next tense plot can unfold more effectively.

Some authors may ask, what should I do if I can't write loose plots?

Our classmate 314 gave a very good suggestion, then add some water. Between two tense plots, even if you write some plain and uninteresting plots with water, it will be better, so that readers will be tired and numb and give up your work.

B circumflex

Iambic is a must-kill skill in novels and even the entire commercial entertainment content, including film and television animation.

If you want to promote, suppress first, suppress first and then raise. Due to the limited space, suppress and promote, the captain summed it up simply and crudely here, suppress and raise.

For example: little A is a very strong swordsman, how do we show that little A is very strong, at this time we can bring shock and surprise to readers through iambic.

First of all, we can lower it first. For example, a group of NPC robbers despise and look down on Little A. They think that Little A, who looks thin and weak, has ordinary strength, and wants to bully Little A and steal his weapons.

At this time, there are two possibilities. The readers of I already know that Little A is very strong through the previous plot, and the readers of II know nothing about Little A.

At this time, we raised the height again, and little A shot at the robbers, a brilliant sword light burst out, and the robbers were knocked down one after another, watching little A stunned and snatching their weapons away.

At this time, readers who didn't know Little A's strength at first will be pleasantly surprised; while readers who already knew Little A's strength from the beginning, at the beginning of Little A's crisis, they will enter the anticipation of waiting for Little A to clean up the robbers. with meet' pattern.

(The reader's "expectation and satisfaction mode" in the novel is the core that promotes the development of all novels. This has the opportunity for the captain to analyze it carefully with you. Let's continue to look at circumflex.)

Under the same logic, little A can be a policeman or an athlete, and NPCs can be international criminals or athletes from other countries. Little A can shine after being suppressed and elevated through the plot.

The mastery and skillful use of iambic will bring readers great surprise, expectation and satisfaction.

Likewise circumflex, which can also be used for events.

For example, let's say first, the author has created a shocking crisis, and everyone feels that no one can solve it, it is impossible for anyone to solve it!

At this time, we will raise our voice again, and the protagonist will appear on the stage. With means and methods that no one could have imagined, this big crisis has been resolved, thus satisfying the readers' expectations.

The inflection of the event is, in essence, the magnification of the inflection of the characters, but the creation of a major event can make the plot and structure of the novel bigger, and the reader's expectations will be raised even higher.

2. Characters—Characters are the soul of fantasy novels. In the world of fantasy novels, the portrayal and shaping of characters is the basis for readers to identify with the novel.

Simply put, characters are divided into two categories: protagonists and supporting actors.

A protagonist fantasy protagonist can be roughly divided into two routes, the strong protagonist and the white paper protagonist

Strong-type protagonists: The rebirth type and the strong soul-traveling type have a common feature of having a lot of practice experience and memory, which is equivalent to bringing their own golden fingers. Such protagonists will be stronger at the beginning of the novel

White paper-type protagonist: This kind of protagonist is completely opposite to the strong-type protagonist. Most of them are teenagers without any experience. The protagonist has more room to develop

The two types of protagonists have their own advantages and disadvantages. How to choose depends on the final decision of the author according to his own needs.

As for what kind of protagonist is popular, or what kind of protagonist can make readers feel more involved

Here the captain would like to use the two camps of superheroes in American comics as an example. DC and Marvel. The protagonists of DC are relatively perfect, while most of the protagonists of Marvel have shortcomings of one kind or another.

Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine... These flawed protagonists are obviously more grounded.

Playful, greedy, lustful, arrogant, even cruel... You can find good templates from classic novels.

At the same time, everyone should also remember that the disadvantage is only to make the protagonist's personality distinct and to increase the sense of substitution, not all of them.

The personality and heart of the protagonist should conform to the moral bottom line of most readers in order to be recognized to the maximum extent.

This is why some protagonists in the works of fantasy masters always have hard work, hard work, and seriousness in their personalities. This is worth learning from.

B supporting role supporting role can be divided into two categories, heroine and supporting role

a. The first principle of a heroine is that she is created to be liked by readers. No matter what her personality is, whether she is savage, arrogant, or charming, please remember this point so that her personality has Make the reader like the part, otherwise the character is not a success.

The heroine is not only to make the protagonist like or be ambiguous, but also to make the readers like and agree. A heroine with high popularity can often increase the reader's loyalty to the novel a lot

Regarding the type of heroine, the captain here decided to use Mr. Jin Yong, the most classic novel "The Deer and Ding Tale" as an example to list the template.

Purity——Mu Jianping, the little princess of Mu Wangfu

Infatuation——Girl Assassin Zeng Rou

Charming—Su Quan, Lady of the Dragon

Tsundere - A Ke

Tenderness——Personal Maid Shuanger

Unruly—Princess Jianning

Please pay attention to the character's personality and her identity background, because the heroine's personality cannot be formed out of thin air, and must have different identities, occupations, and growth backgrounds to complement each other.

What if the rookie author continues to ask the captain, what if the female characters are still unable to be vividly described despite these classic templates?

The creation of characters requires the accumulation of pen power. If the pen power is insufficient and the essence of writing cannot be written, the team leader suggested that the heroine should be facialized first.

As for what facial makeup is, to put it simply, it is to magnify and magnify one of the most prominent attributes of a character.

To give an extreme example:

For example, if a certain female character is cold, then she will keep a cold face and speak coldly 80% of the time, and even the style of her actions is clean and cold. Such a relatively extreme facial makeup operation can at least give readers a clear impression of the heroine's character.

b. Supporting roles, there is a saying that the main character exists to run through the plot, while the supporting role is for the readers to appreciate. This statement may be a bit exaggerated.

However, distinctive personality and full of charm are one of the values ​​of the existence of supporting actors, but their greater value is to promote the world of novels with rich plot and structure.

There are many ways to shape supporting roles, and the space is limited. If you want to bring important supporting roles to life, the captain here only proposes a "golden principle for supporting roles".

That is, the supporting role should have its own life goals.

Supporting roles are not just elements that promote the plot, they must have their own life pursuits.

For example, the supporting actor in a basketball novel, his ideal is to play in the NBA, and he has been working hard for it, so he lived!

For example, a certain pirate professional supporting role, his ideal is to become the best swordsman in the world, and he will never give up for this, so he lived!

For example, a certain supporting role, he lives for revenge, and will do anything for it, so he also lives!

Important supporting roles are not only puppets that exist to promote the plot, but also have their own goals in life!

If you want to create a successful supporting role, you need to give him soul and persistence.

3. Start

At the beginning of the novel, the captain first said the big taboo.

It is absolutely impossible to slow down, this is already common sense, so I won’t go into details

A novel that can attract readers at the beginning is half the success of the novel. Slow novels are not without a future. This requires the author to endure the loneliness of being unattended and creative for a long time, and to have a firm and strong heart.

Regarding the form and mode of the opening, there are definitely many tricks. The captain will briefly talk about it here, the most classic dilemma mode.

Dilemma mode is a regular opening mode. At the beginning of the novel, the protagonist is caught in a dilemma or crisis, so that readers have to expect the protagonist to solve this crisis and get out of the predicament.

This predicament may be that the protagonist has been divorced by someone; Master duel.

The opening of the dilemma mode is to firmly grasp the readers' attention from the very beginning! Add tension to the opening plot.

In addition, the opening of a successful novel is absolutely inseparable from three words, that is "sense of anticipation".

The "sense of anticipation" is to make readers have unlimited expectations, and the novel unfolds and extends.

A book allows readers to look forward to the growth of the protagonist, the development of the plot, and the exploration of the unknown world following the protagonist's line of sight.

Then its start is basically invincible.

The creation of a sense of expectation is realized on the basis of countless details and plots. It is difficult for the captain to talk a few words, so he will discuss this high-tech topic with everyone.

But here we can teach new authors a way to set up the identity of the protagonist to create a sense of expectation.

It is to give the protagonist an identity that cannot be done, so that readers can expect the protagonist to do something.

For example, in a world of imperial examinations, the protagonist is a son-in-law who can never take the imperial examinations.

For example, in a world of warriors, the protagonist is a waste material who is born unable to cultivate. This also solves the question of why the protagonists of so many novels are waste materials.

In a doctor's world, the protagonist has an accident with his hand and can never be on the operating table again.

Wu: A simple template and analysis of fantasy novels

This article is mainly aimed at newcomers who have never written fantasy novels, or who want to become fantasy authors. I hope you can understand the creation of fantasy novels through this simple-easy template analysis of fantasy novels.

But templates cannot replace reading. To create fantasy novels, everyone still needs to read a lot of fantasy novels.

The leader of this article would like to thank May and Pi Dan for their kind assistance.

A white paper protagonist:

1. Types of rising waste materials: such as "Immortal Warrior", "Jiuyang Emperor Zun"

This type of essay is mostly written by newcomers and masters, and it is also the most widely used subject.

The protagonist can be an ordinary earthling who travels through the waste material, which will increase the sense of substitution; or it can be the waste material itself, and get a baby to rise against the sky. There is not much difference between the two, so let’s look at the template process together.

aInitial stage: The circumflex we mentioned in the rhythm above can set the protagonist's ability and identity to a relatively low level. The setting of the identity is the beginning of a restraint, and then the focus is on the promotion.

At the beginning, it is suggested that newcomers should try their best to let the protagonist get a golden finger within three chapters, so that he has the ability and possibility to develop upward. And make readers have a strong sense of expectation.

(Three points need to be noted here: I. The degree of suppression: It is enough to make readers feel that the protagonist is suppressed, and it is necessary to write about being suppressed in a small amount of space, and the protagonist cannot obtain

Substantial harm to the heroine and other aspects. For example, if the heroine is caught by the villain, it can arouse the reader's emotions. There is no need for the heroine to be tarnished. This belongs to the setting of Excessive II and Golden Finger: concealment, uniqueness, and upgradeability. III. The use of cheats: cheats can solve troubles, but at the same time, because the strength of the protagonist increases, it will also bring new troubles. New troubles can still be solved with cheats, which will be cycled in turn to promote the development of the plot. )

b After obtaining the golden finger, the level and realm will be improved to a certain extent. At this time, in the novice map, the protagonist's junior opponents will come to challenge.

Junior opponents are higher levels than the main character, but preferably no more than two levels. The protagonist upgrades faster than others.

Let's take a look at the process of dealing with hostile forces.

Appearance of junior opponents—the protagonist cultivates—defeats junior opponents—intermediate opponents (generally the elder brothers and teachers of junior opponents) appear—protagonist retrains—defeats intermediate opponents—senior opponents (they are often high-ranking and clan elders) The strong man in the door) appeared—the protagonist practiced again—and defeated the high-level opponent.

With such a cycle, the strategy for this novice map is now complete.

C When it comes to maps, let’s take a look at the map. The initial novice maps are usually small towns and small towns. It is taller than the characters on the previous map.

To put it simply, each map of different levels must be linked to the protagonist's cultivation level system, and the highest level on the map is not reached by the protagonist so far, but it is not much higher than the protagonist's level.

There must be a simple balance between the setting of the level system and the map update system.

d After changing the map, the protagonist will encounter the primary opponent, intermediate opponent, and advanced opponent of this map again.

Repeat this cycle, and then go to the new map.

eIf you think that it seems that fantasy novels should be easy to write, you are very wrong.

There is nothing new under the sun. What readers want to read is not templates and formulas. Templates and formulas only let you understand a basic logic of fantasy novels.

For a novel to look good, it is the kingly way to combine various elements so that readers are full of expectations.

We need to know how to combine and how to decompose.

For example, just the protagonist's cultivation can be broken down into many parts,

Before training: The villain appears, describe the strength of the villain, explain the shortcomings of the protagonist - point out the method that the protagonist can overcome - follow the method, the protagonist must obtain the materials and resources needed for cultivation - follow the method to download the dungeon, Go hunting, go on adventures, go to the auction house, do tasks, and compete for resources.

Cultivation: Cultivation can be carried out anytime and anywhere. You can practice while obtaining resources, or you can devote yourself to cultivation after retreating. At the same time, there are various ways of cultivation. Qi can also open up acupuncture points, and even cultivate the soul.

After training—the most important thing is to defeat the opponents, monsters, and even the heroine who were originally invincible, get the treasures that were not available, practice advanced skills that were not available, and catch pets that were not available.

After training, start the battle: the protagonist takes advantage of the advantages accumulated before, and wins the victory unexpectedly.

After the battle: The protagonist's strength and social status have been improved, and at the same time, a new promotion has been gained due to the battle, and the foreshadowing clues for the next climax are buried here.

2. Indigenous growth type: You can refer to the works of "I Eat Tomatoes" by the famous Internet fantasy master.

This type of text has a lot of cool points that are similar to the rise of waste materials, and the design requirements for gold fingers are also similar.

The main difference is that the rise of waste material has a process of suppressing and rising in the early stage, while the growth type of indigenous people is likely to focus on the process of growth, and may even start writing from the protagonist's childhood.

This type requires the author's skill even more. In terms of plot setting, it is roughly the same as the process of the rise of waste materials.

B strong protagonist:

3. Types of young masters reborn: You can refer to the works of the famous Internet fantasy master "Feng Ling Tian Xia".

In this type of essay, the protagonist usually has a lot of regrets and mistakes in his previous life, or he couldn’t reach the peak because he took a wrong step in his cultivation; or his family couldn’t protect because of his incompetence; People, because they can't reach their own abilities, dare not pursue...

This kind of text, with strong emotional rendering, has a strong appeal and can make people quickly enter the plot.

The protagonist is usually reborn at a point of failure in the previous life, using the experience or small achievements of the previous life to turn things around at the initial stage.

Generally, they have golden fingers from previous lives, or know the addresses of many magic weapons, or know many secret exercises that could not be practiced in previous lives, or they are reborn directly with a treasure when they are reincarnated.

At this time, readers will look forward to the protagonist living again, to step down all the people who bullied him in the previous life, to make up for all the regrets in the previous life, and to take good care of the women who were missed in the previous life.

In terms of routines, this type of writing is a process of re-cultivation in the early stage, and the process of clearing up the regrets of the previous life step by step. The climax is generally the collision of conflicts between the previous life and this life; The world I saw when I walked the farthest. At this time, the protagonist in a new realm can solve many things that were unattainable in the previous life; the later stage is to enter the new world.

4. Types of waste materials for masters: such as "Eternal Supreme"

For this type of text, the protagonist in the previous life must be a strong person in a certain aspect or field, such as a master of alchemy or a master of talisman making.

If all the realms are divided into ten levels, the protagonist is equivalent to having cultivated to a level close to the tenth level. At this time, his soul will enter the body of a waste material and live again.

The most refreshing point of this kind of article is that there is a huge contrast between the protagonist's original identity as a strong man and his current status as a waste material. The reason is that it will be very convenient for him to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger directly.

The protagonist uses the experience of his previous life to sweep all the way. In the new world and new identity, he still needs to obtain resources to practice again.

5. Types of masters in different worlds: you can refer to the works of the famous fantasy master "WordPad"

This type of article mainly uses an information asymmetry to create a cool point.

The knowledge of the protagonist in the previous world, in the new world, is something that has never existed before, and it also makes the protagonist unique.

Either the skills in the game are brought to another world, or the immortal cultivation system in Xianxia is brought to the magical world, or mathematics is applied to magic.

Through the collision of the knowledge systems of the two worlds, the protagonist's unique knowledge system and ability are rendered and magnified.

Usually the protagonist's ability and knowledge system must restrain and transform the system of the new world.

For example, ancient martial arts in the East overwhelm magic, and the system of cultivating immortals in the East overwhelms the magic system in the West.

Because of the reader's recognition, the oriental elements carried by the protagonist will continue to sweep the new world.

Lu: Epilogue

The creation of fantasy novels is a science, and with the continuous development of commercial entertainment novels, the technical content will become higher and higher. Because of the length of the novel, there are still some questions such as how to write the outline, how to do the characters, and how the plot should be. Expansion, driven by conflicts and conflicts with the enemy, has involved online novels and even all novels, and the captain did not mention too much here.

This entry guide for fantasy novels is some relatively entry-level stuff, and I hope it can be of some help to new authors who want to create fantasy novels.

I also hope that more potential authors, after reading this guide, have a flash of inspiration and resolutely step into the writing of fantasy novels. Maybe a few new fantasy gods will be born from this, and the captain's life will be thus Sublimated, how gorgeous it is!

YY about it.
