The King of Curses

Chapter 43: Remarks on the release of the book. Here are some things you all want to see.

Hello everyone, I am A Clockwork Orange Dream.

As the title says, let's see what everyone (I) wants to see. This has always been the driving force behind my writing. The selling point of this book can be summarized in one sentence: it's a harem Shura field. Then I'll ask for the first order at 12 o'clock tomorrow, and that's it.

...But having said that, this book still contains some different ideas. If you want to understand, please continue reading.

Let me first tell you the starting point of this story -

The first things to be confirmed were, of course, the two most important heroines.

Some things are hard to express with an introduction or an introduction. I have been writing online novels for ten years, and all of them have multiple female protagonists. I am also a senior harem novel fan, and I have read many works where the heroine is in a strong position. Most of them are often in a high position in the setting, such as emperors, CEOs, demons, and fairies...

It’s not that I don’t like this kind of story, I really like it.

But besides liking it, the more I read, the more I feel that the "strength" and "nobility" of these heroines are mostly settings, just a tool to provide readers with a sense of conquest, and at most an introduction to their early characters, or a hook for the plot.

Do her actions and thoughts really match her identity? After she becomes a love-brained person, how will she be different from other female characters? If you just want to be special, the various "bad women" or "witch" types that have been around from martial arts to online literature are actually quite special, but this itself seems to have nothing to do with the definition of "strong".

Once you delve deeper into this issue, everyone will soon realize that designing a charismatic strong person/big shot/ruler is a big problem for the creator itself. This is no longer just a problem for harem literature...

After all, most people who write and read online articles, including me, are ordinary people, so it is inevitable that there will be situations where the emperor holds a golden hoe; but what is more likely to happen is that even if you copy the great figures in real life, it will not be understood and people will think what you write is stupid.

So after that, I still needed a bizarre worldview - a world of ghosts and superpowers where idealism is reasonable, debate is useful, and the top strong people are all crazy; on this basis, the two characters of "Philosopher King" and "Equality King" can appear naturally.

From a design perspective, the positioning of these two characters is more like the big villains that often appear in long superpower battle stories, whose popularity is no less than or even exceeds that of the protagonist.

I hope that they have great strength, great beliefs, strong tactics, unwavering pursuit of goals, and a moral sense that is not at all soft. Unfortunately, such female characters are indeed rare in fictional stories. Such roles are usually played by men.

So, after I finished writing, on the one hand, I thought they were really interesting and special, but on the other hand, I couldn't help but feel that "you are a bit extreme"; and then looking at the character positioning of our male protagonist Cen Dongsheng, it makes people laugh even more: you are really lucky to meet these two.

Of course, I won’t really let Cen Dongsheng face any moral dilemma, please rest assured. In essence, it is still a story about how they change because of love... The idea itself is quite traditional, right?
In short, their story is just the beginning, and I will continue to tell it slowly, so please stay tuned.

*
Then someone will ask, why did you only say two? Didn't we agree that there would be more than one?

This problem was mainly answered by group friends in book reviews and in private posts. Of course, the culprit was still me. When discussing new books in the group, I mentioned that there were more than two of them.

Yes, indeed more than that.

But there is one thing I want to be honest about. There are two possible positions of the heroine in this story. At least the third heroine who appears later will not be as confrontational and dangerous as these two. She is more like Cen Dongsheng's right-hand man. After all, she is also going to be the king.

...In fact, it was the reliable teammate he had been thinking about at the beginning of the second volume.

I feel like I've already spoiled some things, so let's stop here. We'll talk about the rest based on how the story develops after the game is released.

If friends who love books can see this, please support the first order so that I can feel more at ease.

This book will be available on the shelves after 7 o'clock tomorrow, July 26 (this Friday), so it will be updated according to the usual time, with a total of three chapters.

Finally, thank you all for your continued support, thank you!
