Mecha Star Wars.

10.February Summary and Thank You List

My dears, it’s payday again!

Last month I made 338.74. Of that, 306.89 was from subscriptions alone. It's over . Applause! Clap, clap, clap...

In addition, the group channel is 30.34, which should be supported by Xiaoxiang's treasure. mua
Last month, the Queen of the Dead appeared, Ivana. Lin Fan's temperament changed drastically because he was corroded by evil resentment. Brennan knew their alien identities, and learned about the deeper background of the Protoss from Miao Ge. Eagle is the son of the Emperor of Heaven. King Mingguang is not dead. His son Evans and Garcia of the Ghost Blade Clan sneaked into the imperial capital with the remains and Irene, and met Lin Fan and others in the old house of King Mingguang. The two sides had a restrained conflict, but were defeated by the people of Noah. Lin Fan finally met Irene, but Irene was unwilling to leave. They split into two groups. Lin Fan found the World Tree and was trying to unlock the world barrier to eliminate the restrictions on civilized machinery. The consciousness of King Mingguang tried desperately to stop it. Evans and others also arrived, but were blocked outside by the barrier of Yunze and could not enter. When Eagle was about to drag King Mingguang's body out of the World Tree, the Emperor of Heaven appeared out of thin air and cut off his wings...

Wow! Do you think my description of the above plot is more clear than ever? I am surprised at myself. I could never write this before.

Or it was because on the evening of the 1st, at the editor's request, I wrote a -word outline for the new book. Today I handed it to her for the editor-in-chief to review. Whether the new book can be signed depends on this time.

So, what you have done will leave traces, and growth is inevitable. It’s just a matter of whether the result is what you want.

Let’s not talk about this for now, let’s get back to mecha.

I originally thought that this world would end in October. Well, it’s almost over. It should end in half a month at most… I think…

I went back to check, and it was exactly two and a half months, making up for the short time left on the previous planet. Hahaha, not bad.

I won’t spoil the plot about the mechas because you definitely won’t be able to guess where it’s going anyway, hahahaha.

The reason why I got such a high salary this month is not only because of your continued support, but also because of one boutique recommendation and two smart recommendations. As expected, recommendations will bring popularity. Maybe it's because they saw that I wrote so many words to encourage me. I hope there will be recommendations every month in the future, hahahaha.

Every time a new baby appears, in addition to bringing me financial income, I also receive a lot of lovely comments and encouragement.

This time was no exception. After praising me, he also pointed out my shortcomings, especially the lack of female characters.

This is indeed because of the early structure and the author's own lack of ability, so in the foreground, women other than the protagonist are not prominent.

On the one hand, it is true that considering the background of mecha, with the current level of technology, the participation of women in mecha is generally not as high as that of men. I don't mean to deny the ability of women, otherwise I wouldn't write that the female protagonist is the most powerful, right? Take astronauts as an example, they are all so powerful, but women are still a minority, right? This has to do with physiological characteristics and individual qualities. This is an objective fact, please don't criticize me.

My writing is relatively realistic, so there is no plot that uses forced gender oppression, although it may look cool and the women are all strong.

But I also think, what is strong? Is it to stand at the starting point from birth and kill everything with just a flick of the finger? Or is it to climb out of the mire, overcome various difficulties little by little and climb to the top? Is it to be an invincible master who kills everyone he sees, who comes up as a commander, who kills decisively, who is cool and domineering, who kills gods when he meets them, who kills everything he doesn't like, and who knows at a glance that the ending will not be suspenseful at all? Or is it to have various weaknesses, make progress in the defects, and gradually grow into a towering tree?
Maybe everyone has their own answer, right?

When I started writing this article, I didn't want to write a traditional story about a strong female lead. I wanted to write a story about an ordinary woman who struggled in hardship, and suddenly encountered an opportunity and changed, and gradually became stronger. The tags say healing and slow-burning, haha, now it seems to fit the description.

The process of becoming stronger was a bit slow, of course, it was related to my poor control of the rhythm. But I still think, after a person gets a huge ability, can he immediately have the corresponding psychological and control ability? Can most people accept overnight wealth? So in the Earth part, I have been building Lin Fan's inner world. Her world was originally barren, but with the help of various friends, it gradually became solid, so that she could survive various unexpected crises in the interstellar.

I also know that you want to see the heroine being heroic and killing everyone, but I still have to say sorry, this must follow the plot. Although my Lin Fan's temperament has changed a lot now, the eroded character still has problems. I am decisive, but there will be many problems later, which will be specifically reflected in the next planet.

The real integration will be better later. What I want to express is that human growth, whether physical or mental, takes time. Sudden changes may seem good, but they will bring unexpected consequences.

Growth is a long process. Just like me, I have been writing and trying to change, but I have been crawling in the same place... It is not easy to change...

Let’s get back to the topic of female characters.

In fact, in the early days, I also established many female characters, such as the neighbor aunt at the beginning, Grandma Pei, and of course, the most annoying mother Lin, right? Everyone doesn't like them, right? But because they have nothing to do with mecha, everyone subconsciously ignores them.

There is also Sister Xu, the first person I met when I entered the special affairs office, the ghost catcher, Doctor Xue of 800, the excellent exoskeleton mecha pilot Jiang You, the nurse Wu Yi who brought the Noah later, Li Chunhua’s wife Shi Miao, their problem child Xiaoyu, the grocery store owner Sun Mo, including the female clown, and Mi Jiao who appeared later...

In fact, I have created many female characters. Of course, most of them only appear in non-combat life, without any mecha-related conflicts, so maybe because of this, they are ignored by everyone, just like the women who are always ignored in our daily lives.

I had originally intended to write more about Sister Xu, but the editor said that this was a mecha story and that I couldn't write about the supernatural, so I gave her a role later on, making up for my own regret.

Jiang You is already an excellent mecha pilot. She could have applied to drive a mecha, but she stuck to her exoskeleton camp out of a sense of responsibility. I think this is also a noble virtue. And at that time, there were enough protagonists in the group, so adding more people halfway through would not make much sense.

As the only female boss in the special affairs office, I also spent a lot of time describing Mi Jiao. I didn't write about the abilities of Director Zhu Cunjun in detail, I just talked about him as a leader, right? She has a combat plot, but no mecha.

The last biological armor actually only has Lin Fan, Antonio, these two are natural, and Song Ren who was rescued the day after tomorrow. Lanxing has already formed a mecha army, so there will definitely be a lot of female pilots in the later stage, but at this time, we have all flown out, so this part is not written...

In short, it may be a problem of my concept. I don't think that fighting in battle is the only way to be strong. Of course, crushing men in terms of strength is a manifestation of strength, but women have more beautiful qualities, such as tenacity, self-reliance, responsibility, tolerance, etc., which are easily overlooked and considered to be dispensable and precious qualities.

Even now, many people believe that women are strong by suppressing men and stepping on them. But I also think that using men to highlight women, and stepping on men to show women are strong, is it not also emphasizing the indispensability of men's status?
Can't a woman be strong? She is strong, no matter what man she is. No man should get involved. She just stands there and people know she is strong? It's like Nüchou. It's like Nuwa. It's like the embryonic form of Lin Fan now.

I don't do boxing. The men and women in my stories all have their own problems, and their excellence or lack thereof is not displayed by comparison or exaggeration with others.

The above views are purely personal opinions. Please don’t criticize me if you don’t agree with them. If you really want to criticize me, I hope you will do it in a gentle manner.

Of course, this is a mecha article...

So I'm back to the beginning. I chose the wrong name!

So when it comes to mecha combat, there are indeed more male characters. The reasons have been mentioned above, and this is indeed the case.

The past cannot be retrieved. Later, the frequency of male and female characters will be different depending on the situation in each world. In a highly civilized society, the difference in status between men and women is not that big, and the status of women is naturally equal. There are also low-civilized societies, like the current one, where women are not considered human. Of course, there is also the Anemote planet where people are not considered human, and they are all animals...

If I can write smoothly to the end, there will be a planet with advanced mechas, and by then, there will be more fighting and more female characters than now. I calculated...can I finish it next year?

Anyway, this is the situation regarding female characters. By the way, a spoiler, the nurse Wu Yi and the chef Guan Ying who appeared before will appear on the next planet. I said I have a hard time naming, right? So as long as there is a character with a name, there will be a role. This is not Baozi's urging, it's something I had already arranged. It's just that it's relatively late, because the first few planets are not suitable for people to come down. Did you notice that there are only a few people who come out, so it's normal that no females appear.

Well, that’s it. I hope you guys will be satisfied with my explanation.

Now that I’ve talked about mechas, let’s talk about new articles.

Oh my god, it’s already a chapter... Never mind, just go ahead and tell me, I’ve been holding it in for a long time.

The new article is about realistic female emotions. I actually had the inspiration last year, but I didn't want to start writing because I was tired of writing here. Although one chapter a day is not much, it is also very tiring to write every day without interruption. My dears have also seen my plot. It is not a routine article. I am going bald from thinking about it. Now my hair is pulled up, but it is not as thick as the water from my faucet. Crying
Why did I suddenly want to write? I have forgotten, anyway, one day in late July, I suddenly had a sudden impulse, and there was a writing contest, the first prize was 7 yuan, I was probably short of money, and I wanted to spend a few months to try my luck, what if the bicycle turned into a motorcycle?

Then I started writing the outline on August 8st. I started writing after finishing the rough outline in three days. But something happened later, so I stopped writing. I wanted to continue on September 1st, but was delayed by the sudden hat design order. I spent a long time on the hat design because I had to catch up with the order meeting in October and make money. But this hat seems to have sunk, alas...

So I really started writing on the 19th. I originally planned to write for three months, because I was afraid that it would not be successful, and I also wanted to ensure that I could sign the contract and keep my full attendance for three months. After writing for three months, there would be only two more months to finish it. This way, there would be no pressure to update, and it would be easy.

So from the end of September to October, I was really busy and worked hard. I used to complain about writing 9 words a day, but starting in October, I wrote 1 words a day. I had to write two new chapters, fill in the two missing chapters, and update one more chapter. But I had to take a break for two or three days because of something. So in order to rest at the end of the month, I increased the pressure in the last week. There were two days when I wrote more than 30 words and went to bed at 31 a.m. at the latest. I finally got two days off on the th and st.

I really have never worked so hard. In fact, after I finished writing the outline and started writing, I felt that it was unlikely to win the award, so I just wanted to get an attendance award, 4500 hard-earned money. I never thought that I might not even be able to sign a contract.

After I published the article "Mecha", when it was about 20,000 to 30,000 words, the editor approached me to sign a contract. Then it was successfully published, and although the performance was not good, I was still considered a contracted author.

I have been writing for two years now, and I believe that the subject matter, structure, rhythm, and writing style of my new works are much better than those of Mecha. But I never expected that I would not be able to sign a contract.

I overestimated myself.

Now that the article is more than halfway through, with 400,000 words, I will definitely continue writing. I have put so much effort into it. Although I thought, forget it, no money means no money...but I am still a little confused these days. By the way, I want to advertise my new book "Walking from the Heart", I hope you like it.

I've been thinking about it these past two days, and I think I may not be suited to writing, or rather, I'm not suited to commercial writing, writing for the purpose of making money.

Actually, I know what is popular in the market, but I just want to write what I want to write. I probably just want to express and share, and it is not suitable for me to make a living from this.

Well, okay, I will send the outline to the editor when he gets to work. I can only hope for a good result. I have prepared myself mentally. The passion for the new article is not that high, but now my mind is full of the plot of the new article. I will write it well regardless of the result. I also need to finish it quickly, because writing two books at the same time is very divisive. On one hand, I am plotting and fighting, and on the other hand, I am cheating and divorcing Xiao Tiantian. At one point last month, I thought I would go crazy.

Double update is not something a human should do.

After I finish writing these two articles, I probably won’t write any more, or I won’t write for the purpose of making money. It’s too tiring. Of course, it’s my own ability.

Well, let’s not say anything depressing. Maybe today will have a good result? It’s sunny today.
Next is the thank you session.

I would like to thank Yuanyuan Yuan for his generous reward, and also thank you for your heartwarming comments.

Then thank you all for voting monthly.

Most of them are familiar babies, but there are also new babies. Oh, thank you all for your continued support. Bow, muah.

Today's summary is so long, it's almost like two chapters. But I'm happiest when I'm chatting. I'm happiest on this day of every month because I get paid and I can chat with you. I feel better for no reason.

Okay, let's take a short break and then continue today's work. Everyone is busy, right? The weather is getting colder, so remember to put on more clothes, take good care of yourself, and don't catch a cold.

Love you guys.
