The magician of the fairy tale world.

Chapter 53 Remarks on the launch

Chapter 53 Remarks on the launch
It will be on the shelves at midnight on Saturday, and the chapter on Friday afternoon will also be moved there.

At that time, Qidian will have a listing event with rewards, but I don’t know the details.

The updates after the release will definitely be faster than before the release. There was a period of time before the release, when I updated two chapters a day with 1500 words, or a single chapter with 3000 words, which was still a bit short and not suitable for catch-up reading.

It certainly won’t be that short after it’s on the shelves.

We guarantee that there will be an update of 10,000 words in the two days before the release, and we will see the situation in the next few days.

Many readers, including myself in the past, have a misunderstanding that novels are written by authors typing on the keyboard in front of the computer.

This perception is not entirely wrong. But in fact, the author is not a typist. The novel is made up in the author's mind, and then the author types out what he has made up in his mind.

——【Bottleneck encountered in writing】——

This book was quite tiring to write.

Crazy Crazy Kavan.

The main reason is that it is almost impossible to find any books on the same subject that have achieved results (at least those that have been published in Sanjiang) to refer to.

(The kind of books that have mediocre early results and only become popular after writing a million words are of no learning value to me. I can't possibly read a million words for each book on the list, so I don't know if I can write anymore.)
To be honest, I didn't intend to look for fairy tale as the theme at the beginning. I wanted to write about mythology.

——Therefore, the language style of many parts of this book, especially in the early part, still retains the flavor of mythological literature.

In the end, I found that all the mythological directions I could write about had been written by others, so there was no point in writing about them again. Some myths were too niche and not suitable to be used as backgrounds.

Finally I chose this topic which is almost blank.

Only when I actually started writing did I realize that this was a completely blank topic with no one to refer to.

You have absolutely no idea which way to go!
One of the main reasons why novels have such things as themes is that a specific theme basically already has ready-made routines, ready-made core plots, ready-made plot templates, and ready-made development ideas that can be directly referenced.

This also applies to readers. Readers have read many books on the same subject, so they will naturally have expectations for what will happen next, and it won't be difficult to satisfy everyone.

For example, in literature about cultivating immortals, readers know that there must be sects and secret realms, and that the level of cultivation is very important. They will look forward to the protagonist upgrading and gaining rewards such as magic weapons, elixirs, talismans, spirit stones, and fairy pets.

For example, in the Fourth Disaster, the common core plots are "the collision between players' thinking and the natives of the other world" and "players' shock at the highly realistic game." The expectations for upgrades and treasure hunts are relatively less important.

To be more specific, for example, in "Lu Mingfei Returns from xx", readers will immediately know that Lu Mingfei is bound to use the abilities he gained in xx to rise up and change his useless life.

There is no way. Without a suitable direction, I can only explore it slowly on my own.

Some ideas are good and the feedback after writing is also good, but after writing it once, if you continue to repeat similar plots, it will cause aesthetic fatigue.

For example, in "Sleeping Beauty", the protagonist can be a magician who offers blessings, making the direction and intention of the blessings more positive.

However, the original story development and ending of most fairy tales are already perfect, and it is difficult to find an equally suitable and convincing protagonist entry point.

There were also many attempts that were found to be ineffective or slightly off track. So far, there have been about a dozen attempts, some of which were changed when the book was officially published.

If you had read the first draft of this book that I sent to the editor, you would have been surprised, "Huh?" "So the protagonist's previous goldfinger was so weird? And there's also a panel that I can't even understand!"

——【Try Example】——

For example: I said that I wanted to write a mythological text at first, so I also tried to imitate the book "Spiritual Rulers in Greek Mythology".

One of the core plots of this book is to transfer elements of various earthly entertainment works to the mythological world. What is the magic network, what is the sequence of ascension to the gods, what is the nine hells. This selling point is similar to the two-world flow and the fourth disaster, which is the collision of the original normality of the earth elements and the other world.

"The collision between the earth's elements and the other world", I also tried it in this book, which is the plot of "Rhine proposed a three-part honorific name for himself".

This is exactly the plot set out in the initial outline.

In the end, I felt that the effect was not very good. It may be related to the title introduction——

This title has already screened the readers and set some expectations, which essentially limits the possible directions for this book! Readers who come for this title are not mainly looking for this.

Later I thought that it’s okay to have some modern earth-related elements, but not too many.

Moreover, it must be consistent with the style of the story and not appear out of place.

——This is different from the books I cited as examples. In those books that use collision as a selling point, the more different the styles are, the more attractive the collision is.

In addition, this collision can also emphasize the collision of ideas: that is, the thoughts of modern earthlings and the thoughts of the original fairy tale characters.

For example, because of the specific historical background, the original fairy tale would not consider questions such as "making Sleeping Beauty a warrior", "did the tinderbox soldier go too far", "is it possible for ordinary mermaids other than the mermaid princess to obtain immortal souls", etc., but the intervention of the protagonist can introduce more possibilities.

【Future Updates】

When writing this book, I often wrote 7000 or 8000 words a day when I had inspiration, but when I had no inspiration, I couldn't write a single word all day.

Of course, when the new book is actually updated, the 7000 will be spread over two or three days. After all, we can't stop updating, we can't take a day off after two days.

Although I don't make a living by writing books, I will spend more time on this book every day after it is put on the shelves.

Try to write as much as possible.

Ten thousand words will be updated on Saturday, the day it goes on sale.

We will try to update as quickly as possible in the first week of listing.

At that time, Qidian will have a listing activity.

Subscribe to get rewards!
The cover image for that event is pretty nice.

……【bless】……

I hope I can write better and better!

Well, I am generally quite confident about the subsequent climax and ending of "The Daughter of the Sea".

I've been suffering from insomnia in recent days, so I'm going to catch up on my sleep.
