Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Just like everything in the world, "The Colorful Dress and Iron Clothes" will also come to an end one day. Weber would like to thank the readers who have followed and supported me over the years. Without you, I would definitely not be able to reach this point.

If you ask Weber what he thinks about the end of the book, it is too long. It is really too long. For the first time, Weber felt that the middle and late stages of the book were beyond his writing ability. There are too many characters in the book, and the relationships between them have become too complicated. It is getting harder and harder to tell the story between them well, so that the protagonist of the book has become a background board. This undoubtedly hurts the readability of the book, which is also reflected in the results. Weber should learn a lesson from this. Ambition is one thing, and ability is another. After all, online writing is a commercial work. The first thing to consider should be the reader's feelings rather than the author's ideas. It is a good thing to keep writing new things, but it is not good to take too big a step and make a mess. The writing method with multiple characters and multiple POVs is easy to be thankless, so it should be used less.

This is also the reason why many readers complain about the bad ending, which Weber admitted. The book should have ended earlier, such as after Wang Wenzuo quelled the Tubo rebellion and seized the central government. His sons should have had fewer roles, so that the story structure would be simpler and more compact, and it would be easier and more comfortable to read. But the author was too ambitious and wrote longer and longer. In the end, he found that the protagonist would have no more roles if he continued writing, so he had to force the ending, which gave people the feeling of a hasty ending. After all, after the characters appeared from the author's pen, they had their own lives, and the development and changes of the story could not be written as the author wanted. We must learn lessons from this aspect next time.

As for the question of when the next book will be updated, Weber also knows the principle of striking while the iron is hot. It is best if this book ends today and the new book starts tomorrow, with a seamless connection. But sometimes human power is limited. After a few years of serialization, I feel that I am numb. I just want to empty my mind for a while and relax well before I have the desire to start writing again. I plan to give myself a vacation first. The new book should be updated after October this year. As for the subject matter of the new book, there are probably the following options: 1. The rise of American Indians in the 2th century, similar to the birth of indigenous countries; 3. After the Second Punic War, against the background of Rome's great conquest of the successor states in the eastern Mediterranean, the protagonist is the successor of the Spartan mercenary state of Nabis and a student of Hannibal, who fulfills the wishes of Pyrrhus and Hannibal and blows up Rome. 4. Low-magic history with the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Luoyang Civil War in the late Han Dynasty as the background, 5. Game of Thrones with the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty as the background. 1833. With the background of the British "India Act of ", the nineteenth century is a big fight in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia.

Of course, some of the above options already have a relatively complete outline, or even a beginning, while some are just ideas and are in the stage of collecting information. As for which one to choose, it depends on comprehensive considerations. Book friends are welcome to provide suggestions.

Book friends who have subscribed are welcome to join the discussion. (The reason why I use paid chapters to publish this is not to make this little money, but to hope that readers who have paid to support this book will participate, which is also a little selfish of Weber!)
