[Tell me about this book, it is also an explanation to the judges, I am working hard(1/2)

Update issues have caused dissatisfaction among many readers. Let me explain some things here.

Here, I will kneel down to everyone first!

!

Report to everyone, as follows:

There are many things that need to be said from the beginning.

Let me first talk about how the story of this book "" came about.

One day a few years ago, Oscar and I were chatting together and talked about a lot of story ideas.

We talked about a very funny idea, that is, to create a very, very, very "old-fashioned" story framework and write a current Internet article that has become a hit.

So we talked about a story framework:

After an old man from his previous life was reborn as a young man, he hunkered down in the mortal realm and did nothing, just like a salty fish.

The only goal is to save those comrades who had a tragic fate in the previous life.

For the sake of bad taste and cliché, these comrades in previous lives were all kinds of beautiful girls.

What stands out is a bad taste.

For example, at the beginning of "", he goes to South Korea to save a girl, but a high school student has no money and no passport, how can he go to South Korea?

To go from the north, you have to cross the 38th Parallel.

So while chatting with Oscar, I came up with some scenes that both of us were very excited about at the time: a high school student in school uniform, lying under the barbed wire fence at the border, climbing over the barbed wire fence, walking into the mine array, and using 2B pencils and compasses to demolish

Landmine... and he was cursing at the same time.

He also came up with many passages to save his companions.

For example, in my imagination, I had to go to Europe to save an aristocratic girl. The idea at that time was to substitute the incident of Princess Diana.

That is: knowing that on a certain day of a certain month and year, this girl will encounter a huge danger, which will make her life miserable in the future.

A high school student has ability, but has nothing but ability, money, documents, nothing, and he has to run to save people.

For example, he ran to the underground tunnel in Paris and rescued Princess Diana in the car while being surrounded by a bunch of British agents.

For another example, in my previous life, I had a comrade-in-arms who was a female naval officer of Maozi Kingdom. During a duty, the submarine sank (the sinking of the Kursk submarine incident).

And the male protagonist, a high school student with nothing, must find a way to go abroad, and within the specified time, he must find a way to run to a nuclear submarine thousands of meters below the seabed to save people - how the hell is this possible?!

It's interesting to think about it.

For another example, a certain companion in the previous life was once a top physical scientist on the International Space Station, but experienced a serious explosion accident on the International Space Station in the previous life...

Therefore, in this life, the male protagonist, a high school student, must find a way to go to space and enter the International Space Station to save people by "stowaway" within the specified time and before the accident occurs.

What should a high school student do?

You can't expose yourself, and you have to go to space.

That's it:

[Hello everyone, my name is Chen Nuo. I am a high school student, studying at Jiangning No. 8 Middle School in Jinling City. My favorite thing is eating noodles, and the most annoying thing is math class. Now I have a question, an ordinary high school student

I am a student with no money, no passport, and no high-level status. I must find a way to board the International Space Station in space to save people within fifteen days. What should I do?

Waiting online, it’s quite urgent...]

It's probably something like this.

Oscar and I chatted and we came up with at least a dozen paragraphs like this.

Then use this as a framework to create a novel.

This is the original story idea and framework of "".

Oscar and I had a very lively chat that day. We both liked the story that came out of the conversation.

Then he said that he couldn't write this. He might not be good at it in the city.

I said, I can write.

Then I decided to write this thing.

Then I started to seriously prepare myself and improve this framework.

Finally, two unavoidable problems were discovered.

The first one is the review issue. Readers who have read "" all know that I have written the first rescue character, the long-legged girl from South Korea, very carefully and fearfully.

If the original plan goes as planned, it will involve the death of the British royal family Princess Diana, the sinking of the Maozi nuclear submarine, the International Space Station, NASA...

If I write this out one by one, I'm afraid this book will be lost at any time.

It’s exciting to think about it, but I really don’t dare to write it like this.

But this problem is actually easy to solve. We need to reshape these stories and find some stories that are not so large-scale and not politically sensitive.

However, the next step is the second question.

The second problem is: if the story is just a [rescue incident] repeated over and over again, everyone will be very excited to watch it at the beginning.

But this pattern is repetitive, and so is the reading experience.

You will get tired of seeing three at most!

In other words, you only have to run out to save people all over the world again and again.

Even if the place I go to is different every time, the people I save are different every time...

But the pattern is the same! After repeating the same pattern two or three times, readers will get tired of it!

Therefore, I made a painful decision: I rejected this story framework.

At least, [rescuing companions] cannot be the main line of the story.

Then this story needs a new main line.

Then, there is the current main story line of [ ].

It starts with [saving companions from the previous life] as the starting point, then tears open a hole in this world, and sees the hidden truth, evolution, advanced life of this world... and the protagonist gives up the opportunity of four-dimensional evolution in order to save his lover, and invests time and time again.

Time reincarnation...

So, this is what you see now ""

I actually write with great care, and my attitude is absolutely fine.

Later updates have indeed slowed down.

There are two reasons.

The first reason is: I'm older. Really, I'm in my forties, not my twenties. I keep updating twice a day. After more than a year, I finally can't continue to do that.

frequency and rhythm.

Time is not forgiving, and there is really nothing I can do about it. This is an objective law, and I can't violate it.

So, after a year of updating two chapters daily, I started to slow down and slowly changed to updating daily, updating every three or four days, updating weekly...

It's not a matter of attitude, it's a matter of age.

Just like a superstar who once averaged 30 points per game in the NBA, after the age of 35, you cannot ask him to average 30 points per game.

Is it an attitude problem? Is it because he doesn’t want to do it? Is it because he doesn’t want to win the scoring title or the MVP?

No! I want it! But, I really can’t do it!

(cry……)

So in the first half of the season, I averaged 30 points per game until I vomited blood. In the second half of the season, I could only average 10 points per game...

I also want to average 30 points per game! It’s so fucking impossible!

·

The second reason: the later stages of this book were very difficult to write!

It's really hard to write.

Traveling back and forth in the timeline requires self-consistency in logic.

The evolution of advanced life, the four-dimensional theory, the timeline, the conflicts between various events in the past life and this life, and the conflicts between the fates of characters - these all need to be self-consistent, and there must be no contradictions or things that cannot be justified.

Maybe you don’t have an intuitive understanding and feeling, so let me put it this way.

At the first level of logic, I asked the protagonist to give up evolution and jump into the time cycle to save his lover.

In the second layer of logic, I let the protagonist find that it is impossible to save Lu Xixi in the time cycle, so I added a lot of logic to weld this cycle to death! It is to achieve [save cannot be achieved, reincarnation fails, the protagonist is trapped in

This purpose in reincarnation again and again.

Do you understand?
To be continued...
