After the immortal disappeared

"The Utopia of Demons (Volume 1)" has been over for some time. I received feedback from my friends backstage. Some said that the proportion of solving crimes in this volume was too long, and some said that the amount of information in this volume was too large and too detailed, making it a bit confusing.

This tea party will share with you on these two points. In fact, they are all good questions because there is only one answer. ^_^

There are countless writing techniques, why did Jiufang choose to solve the case?

Because when you are an outsider with no foundation, you have basically no means to get closer to the source of a country's contradictions, the pinnacle of struggle, and the center of power more easily and quickly than holding privileges and tracking major cases.

It allows you to get past surface barriers and get straight to the inside.

Looking at foreign series of suspense dramas and detective dramas, the final tip always inevitably points to the top. I won’t give examples in China because it’s inconvenient, but you just have to be aware of them.

Why does it take so long to investigate a case?

This comes back to the second problem: because the content it carries is too huge.

Bega is a large empire that lasted for six hundred years. If I were to be more serious and write it into an encyclopedia of imperial folklore, I would probably not be able to hold it back for tens of millions of words. But after all, this is a serious Mist Fairy novel, and the author is very reliable. In the limited space, he must show you all aspects of Bega, including politics, economy, culture, people's sentiments... and of course, conflicts.

Especially the contradictions.

As General Red said, nothing is invincible, as long as you understand it well enough.

From the time He Lingchuan first entered Bejia to the higher level, he had to understand the various contradictions between humans and monsters, dignitaries and civilians, the demon kingdom and Lingxu City, gods and humans, gods and Lingxu.

The various distortions hidden under prosperity are often caused by deep-seated contradictions. Those of us living in real society should also feel this.

Just take the conflict between humans and monsters as an example:

Although the status of civilians in Bega is low, they are full of vitality. They are naturally good at business, eager for development, and have flexible means (extreme). It is their dream to accumulate wealth and cross class.

The demon clan is domineering in Bejia. Their number is less than one-tenth of humans, but they monopolize resources, wealth, and justice. There are naturally powerful individuals/groups among them, but overall they are energy-consuming, Low output, nothing to eat.

How could there be no conflict between these two groups?

(Let’s talk about books, cough, don’t make random associations)

In short, these are the background, the contradictions, and the anchor points for the plot to continue to unfold in the future. They also provide reasonable support for the protagonist's ideals and actions.

I also saw a friend ask in the background, why does the protagonist stand so firmly on the opposite camp of Bega?

In fact, the formation of human will is nothing more than external and internal factors, and it often comes from the outside in.

How can you feel something if you don’t see anything?

Here are some lumberjack tips:

The giant trees tower into the sky and seem unshakable. The smart thing to do is to drive the wedge at the right place. As long as you use your strength skillfully, no big tree can be dug down.

On the other hand, the purpose of attacking the wedge is not the wedge itself, but to bring down the tall tree.

The elixir case is this inconspicuous wedge.

Through it, we gain an in-depth look into a six-hundred-year-old empire.

And if the protagonist pries it, it will eventually bring both spiritual and physical pain to Bega.

The above is the author’s design circuit for the first volume.

Taking a few steps back, in fact, no matter whether you can understand the above, as long as you put down the book and close your eyes, you can have an intuitive impression of the Bega Empire in your mind, and feel that it is three-dimensional and vivid as if it exists in reality, then "The Demon" "The Utopia (Volume 1)" is considered a success.
