Walk alone in the abyss

There will be another chapter tonight. My inspiration comes at night most of the time, so the update is getting later and later.

In fact, Xiaodou Sprout came to play with me during the holidays, and spent the day trying to accompany the baby, hehe.

It was suspended for three days at the beginning of April, so I haven't asked for votes, and I didn't expect the ranking to drop too low. Thank you readers for your support.

Try to update in May!

Well, wait until the baby goes back to school. (In order to create the book Abyss and prepare for the next book, I retreated by the sea alone.)

In addition, this book has more than two million words!

Recently, I have entered into a rather bottlenecked state, with text jams and manuscript deletions occurring from time to time, like yesterday’s 6,000-word chapter of “My Mouth Is All About Doctrine”, and some more risky plots were deleted.

We are novels, so just make some complaints about it, there is no need to be serious, and there is no such environment for web articles for the time being.

This kind of text without an upgrade system requires a major contradiction and multiple secondary contradictions to be formulated at each stage. When the contradictions cannot be balanced, it is easy to make the plot feel detached, which makes me very painful.

This is a road that few people have tried. I have been able to write two million words steadily, and I am already very satisfied.

The next step is to work hard towards the direction of high completion of this story!

I like to create, and I also like to try different writing styles, so many old readers who read my books will feel that this guy's style is different from each other.

This is actually an encouragement, but it is not conducive to commercialization.

Last year and this year, I have been thinking about my future development path, and I have made detailed plans.

In the future, I will walk on two legs, focusing on the two markets of science fiction and fairy tales. Sci-fi will focus on drama genres, while fairy tales will write light comedy genres.

In view of the fact that the current science fiction market has not yet been fully developed, the book "Abyss Alone" will be my first pure science fiction attempt (the topic of soft and hard does not need to be discussed, as we are pursuing this creative concept);

My plan is to use "Abyss Alone" as the opening chapter of the space opera, followed by two "Faya's Game" and "Abyss in Progress" (not the title of the book), telling the story of the earth being forcibly integrated into the Milky Way. In the middle and last three stages, there are two pure space operas before and after, and the middle one is a sci-fi extension of the reality of the earth. This is the most difficult.

So, I have to tell the readers a few questions.

First, the plot size of the book Abyss is about 3 million words, which I have repeatedly mentioned.

Because this is the first work for this series, I have not conceived comprehensively in many places. (I used to conceive Xianxia fantasy literature before, and then turned to conceive space operas, which puts tremendous pressure on me.) I will try my best to summarize and keep learning.

Second, the plot will not involve Gao Wei, and Faya's game officially begins.

This is not a spoiler, but I must explain clearly to everyone that Faya's game is the main content of my second science fiction. There is no way to directly describe the high-dimensional world, which is a pseudo-sci-fi proposition. Concepts such as jumping, space stations, Dyson spheres, giant mechs, strange substance bombs, genetic biolocks, genetic modification fusion, and dimension upgrading are all science fiction to a certain extent.

We don't want to make any standards. Setting standards will indirectly affect the creation of authors who later embark on this path.

Fiction itself is a pursuit—the story is good-looking, and readers like it.

Third, the issue of female characters.

Many readers have seen my senior brother and Renxian. (The ending of Renxian's lightness is tragic. I have been reluctant to add an episode to her. It is also a kind of Wenqing disease against the market. Later, Renxian Before the anime comes out, I will make up for her).

Then look at the abyss, you will have a sense of dislocation.

It's very simple, because the essence of Xianxia is an ancient "martial arts drama". The reading expectation of male readers lies in the dependent female characters, such as the lovely Ling'e and the well-rounded Su Qing. These characters are easy to like, because they all It revolves around the hero.

But the abyss is not. In sci-fi, there should be no direct description of "sexual hegemony" first, because the background of sci-fi determines that we should downplay the difference between men and women and advocate equality between men and women (note that it is equality, not seduction), so I shaped some of my own destiny for the characters, so the male protagonist has become a bit "many mistresses", which is also a kind of respect for the sci-fi background.

I certainly know what the market likes.

There is one more thing that must be told to everyone in advance.

After finishing the book Abyss, I am going to write a fairy tale that fits the public tone (the same type as my brother, the second part of non-steadiness, the tags are: Xianxia World, Xianmen Development, Moderately Funny, Multiple Female Characters , time-traveling heroine, moderate writing innovation).

One reason is to make money. The platform only recognizes the economic benefits of an author, and will not appreciate the feelings of a creator. Talking about these is nonsense.

The second reason is that everyone has seen the exposure and traffic of the book "Abyss".

I have to use the next book Xianxia to write the results (trying to surpass the stable brother three or four years ago), so that I can get the platform's subsequent resource tilt, and I can follow up with the platform to talk about supporting me in this space opera series, so that the platform can Rest assured investment source.

The third reason is that there is a problem of reader acceptance.

We need to use "The Abyss" to open up this market, so that readers can accept this kind of space opera, and can accept the "no system" and "no upgrade" plot mode.

The lack of coolness in this plot mode is a problem that I need to think about and work hard to solve next.

What is the purpose of my book?

First, to earn manuscript fees to support the family, and second, to let more readers see their works.

In an ideal world, those who dare to try and eat crabs will be rewarded;

But the reality is that you have to prove your worth in order to get follow-up investment and attention.

To put it bluntly, I want to try the results of the "Internet Writings of Space Opera" in the next three years, with more than 10 million words in the whole series.

A reader ridiculed me and said, "You are a celestial being because of your talent, and science fiction is your ideal." What I actually want to correct is "Xianxia is your ideal, and sci-fi is your hobby."

It is my ideal to promote the traditional culture of our nation, carry the thoughts of a hundred schools of thought with fairy tales, and spread them on a larger stage; science fiction is the road to a larger stage, and it is an attempt to a new category of online literature. is the hobby.

Ideals must be realized step by step, and hobbies are rolled up sleeves as soon as the brain is hot.

Don't mention it, the life of the thirty-year-old must continue to work hard, and strive for another ten years to see how the results are.

The story of the next book has been determined. After the completion of "The Abyss", I will have a year and a half to write Xianxia, ​​and I will try my best to write Xianxia with more than 4 million words and meet the taste of the public. I will earn more money and accumulate more points. The resources of the platform, and then use the accumulation of the book "Abyss", "Faya's Game" and "Abyss in Progress" (not the title of the book, but the content), to break through the living space of space opera in online literature.

One solution to the homogeneity and low quality of online literature is to develop new themes and use the income from creation to attract the influx of authors.

This matter was originally done by the platform, but under the influence of big data, the platform pays more attention to the existing income generated from a resource. This is understandable, and it is also a small problem of market orientation.

I'm just complaining here, it has nothing to do with me, I'm just writing a story I like, I don't have any noble feelings, I'm just a lazy layman at heart.

Hey, I've been nagging you a lot today.

In fact, the pressure and criticisms I have been under all the time have not been vented. If I want to be in the reader group, it is not easy to ask the readers to complain about these things.

The next chapter will still be updated very late, forget it, the next chapter will be updated tomorrow morning, everyone, let’s watch it tomorrow~ Count today’s update.
