I summon the shadow army in Pirates

The few hundred words at the end of the previous chapter have been modified and replaced with the end of the second volume. I would like to apologize to readers who subscribed in advance. If you did not see the end (the second volume, end!), you can re-download according to the directory to see the latest the end of.

…

The second volume, "First Show of Strength", contains 101 chapters, a total of 270,000 words.

A lot of things happened during this period. I was tricked, I called the police and successfully got my money back. I didn’t make the cut in the first round of recommendations. I ran naked until 330,000 words were published. However, the subscription data was so bad that I feel depressed as I write this now. Four hundred and thirty thousand words.

I have so much to say.

First, let’s go back to the title of the second volume. The first representative meaning of “First Show” is that the reputation of the protagonist Coles has spread, and he has been known by all forces and has emerged.

At that time, I wanted to make the end of the second volume after the Black Flame City incident, but at that time, the book was about to be released, and the number of words in the second volume was a bit short, so I wanted to make it longer and did not summarize it there.

The second representative meaning of "first showing off" is the power of the Shadow Fruit. In this volume, the power of the Shadow Fruit has only just been revealed, and the S-level Shadow Soldiers have not yet been summoned.

Choosing to end after the chapter "The King's Authority" is also to wrap up the second volume.

The protagonist finally controls the power of the king of shadow power, and the subsequent story will truly show the power and specialness of the shadow fruit.

Among pirate fans nowadays, fast pace is the mainstream, and slow pace is undoubtedly a big disadvantage. This is an undeniable fact.

I have also noticed this, and I have accelerated the progress appropriately. You should also be able to see this when reading it. But as I said in my acceptance speech, the rhythm of this book has basically been set in the early stage, and I cannot add any additional steps. too fast.

Just like I can't jump directly to the story of Luffy going to sea after the protagonist graduates from the elite training camp. Although this speeds up the progress, what did the protagonist do in the middle of the year of 1519?

Such a jump will undoubtedly create a great sense of fragmentation in the novel as a whole.

All I can do is simply describe things to make the timeline pass faster. At least, such a story is reasonable and logical, and will not create too many gaps or shortcomings.

Rhythm finished.

Let’s talk about the characters and emotions in Volume 2.

In this second volume, there are not only the characters and emotions of the protagonist, but also the supporting characters, including Kahn, Mod, Dasqi, Veroch, Zefa, Zhu Yuan, Matthew, etc.

When writing among Pirates fans, writing this kind of group portrait writing seems to be putting the cart before the horse.

But my idea of ​​writing this book is to write a unique story. The characters in this story have their own emotions, and they are connected together to form a real and vivid story.

Character and emotion are important factors that drive the development of the plot.

Most readers were unhappy with the scene where the protagonist was interrogated. My two chapters aroused a large number of readers' reactions, and many people directly bought or abandoned the book.

This is my problem. If I were writing in a fast-paced way, I wouldn’t write this kind of thing. But the problem is that I don’t write in a fast-paced way. I write in a slow-paced way. I need to write things that others don’t write.

After the Walerland Revolutionary Army incident broke out, the elite training camp students must be strictly investigated. This is reasonable and common sense thinking.

I can abandon logic and write a novel-style development, I can avoid writing the interrogation, and the protagonist will still have a smooth journey, but there are not so many smooth sailings in real stories. Ups and downs are the normal state of life.

Will the protagonist betray the navy? Of course, the introduction's confrontation with the world government is already obvious.

After interrogating this plot, some people even disagreed with the protagonist's reaction and felt that he should not continue to stay in the navy and should defect immediately.

Perhaps because of the influence of other pirate fans, everyone with a God's perspective thinks that defecting is just a simple and easy thing.

But changing one's position is not a simple matter, and it cannot be easily shaken.

If you can change your position with just a few words, then what does it really mean?

The protagonist was tortured, which was a bit cruel, but everyone in the pirate world is physically like a monster. If you don't interrogate like this to identify undercover agents, why should I send a beauty trap to seduce him?

The character of the protagonist created here is a very important part of the book. It involves the plot of the first volume and how people should choose in this situation. Because the protagonist repays his kindness, the protagonist did not say who Kahn is. Speculations of the Revolutionary Army.

After this trial is over, can the protagonist defect?

Obviously not.

The protagonist is a person with two lives of experience. As a time traveler, he has watched the military episode on TV and encountered this incident when the second phase of the elite training camp was about to begin. At first, he thought it was just an assessment, but later Then I realized it wasn't.

When the special forces were trained by the country, they suddenly underwent a harsh traitor interrogation. The special forces proved their innocence. Will they feel resentful and betray the country directly afterwards?

People of faith, at least not.

Although this naval institution has criticism from the Celestial Dragons and some corrupt navy, the navy is still the justice for most of the pirate world.

The protagonist relies on the Navy. After entering the elite training camp, the Navy conducts a large number of trainings for training. At this time, due to the incident of the archenemy Revolutionary Army, the Navy began to conduct strict identification. This is understandable.

The protagonist will not defect because of this.

Regarding the handling of this plot, I can say that there is no problem at all.

The story progresses step by step, and the contact between the protagonist and the heroine Nicole Robin has only just begun.

Later, the absurd drama of the Draco took away the innocent lives of 176 people. The shocking scene and a burned diary touched the protagonist's heart and made him take action against Karl Ross.

Here I once again create the image of the protagonist, who is cold but righteous, passionate yet rational.

The protagonist's carefully planned plan leaves a way out to take care of his family. He is overbearing and domineering, and transfers the murderer to Pluto Rayleigh. However, Rayleigh witnesses it and threatens to pay in installments.

After writing this story, I personally felt that the development of the plot was very exciting, with a sense of ups and downs.

After that, the plot started to drop a lot of subscriptions. Maybe people didn’t like to see the clips of the protagonist’s family. I admit that the writing was not very good in this aspect, and the subscriptions started to decline from there.

But I rarely write about unrelated things. Previously, the original character Veroch led the undercover character Vergo, and the conflict between the protagonist and him was eventually implicated in the plot of Doflamingo.

The bounty in the underground world, the killer Al Dinah, and the Don Quixote family are closely connected to a new round of story unfolding. The protagonist eliminates the opponent's drug production base and officially breaks out in conflict with Doflamingo.

And here, in Chapter 45, the foreshadowing of the way to salvation is slowly unfolding. Bartolomeo, who changed his faith to the Bible, established the Cross and contacted the protagonist again.

There are still some foreshadowings that I have laid out. Those may take a long time to write out, and people may forget them when they read them, or no one even cares about them. But by the time I reveal the foreshadowings, I think my story will be even more exciting.

Just when I wrote this Pirates fanfic with all my heart and thought that my efforts would always be rewarded, I failed to recommend it for promotion and ran naked until it was put on the shelves.

During this period, I once thought about cutting up the books!

But in the end he was unwilling to give in.

Faced with the misery of having no recommendations, the only thing I can do is to continue writing more free periods.

I stayed up for two months and wrote 330,000 words for the free period. I wrote almost half more free content for everyone to see than others.

Am I not working hard enough or sincere enough?

I hope that after reading it for so long, everyone will feel a little emotional about the story and buy something for this book, even if it is just a first order.

On the day it was put on the shelves, I comforted myself that I didn’t need a 20-to-1 subscription ratio, even if it was only 30-to-1, I could keep writing.

However, reality gave me a severe slap in the face. The miserable fifty-to-one subscription ratio made me ruthlessly mocked like a clown.

After it was put on the shelves, due to the influence of this factor, I felt a little irritable when writing, and for a time I didn't have the courage to continue writing.

perhaps.

Pirates fandom should be written with a fast pace and fun. If you don't follow the trend like me and write slow and intense characters, you are destined to be a bust.

Even if I write more than 100,000 words for free for others to read, what’s the use?

This kind of behavior can even increase subscriptions more than other people’s fast-paced recommendations.

I can't refute it, because the book has only received 160 orders so far.

I began to doubt myself.

I strive for the truth of the story, I seek logical consistency, I am different from what others write, and I am committed to the emotions that the characters should have.

Is this really wrong?

Shouldn't these be there?

I still don’t believe it in my heart!

Because in my understanding, this is how the story should develop.

But the huge gap in reality makes me a little frustrated. After all, I am not a robot. I will be affected by external factors.

The lack of subscriptions and lack of attention made me almost depressed.

All I see about the future of this book is darkness. I don’t have much writing skills. It’s very difficult to write thousands of words every day. It can be said that the hope of becoming popular is extremely slim.

The thought of giving up echoes in my mind from time to time.

Get a new one and start over!

What's the use of continuing to write like this?

Cut it off when the first recommendation fails. Who cares about your efforts? Cut it off early!

The feeling of failure kept haunting me.

As for the summary and reflections of this volume, I cannot update it today at my speed. Yesterday, I only wrote one chapter due to the impact of things, which is equivalent to being absent from work for two days. I can only exchange for a leave request, so this month There is no full attendance benefit.

I didn't originally write a summary and reflection today, but I should be able to maintain perfect attendance and receive the 2,000 yuan of perfect attendance benefits.

I also needed money, but I had to hold back the frustration I had felt since I started writing the book. In the end, I chose to give up my full-time work and let it all out!

The consequences of such a choice.

That’s the writing income I can get this month, maybe only three or four hundred yuan from everyone’s subscription.

What an irony it is to earn three to four hundred yuan in more than three months. I can just work in a factory for a few days, or find a construction site to move bricks for a few days.

Do you still want to persist with this?

Influences from relatives, life, money, etc. constantly warned me not to continue writing. I was under tremendous pressure all the time.

but,

The story of Charlotte Cole should at least not end there.

The story I want to write has just begun. The fragment I want to write has not yet appeared. I must write it out.

Results may still be dismal.

But I still want to try, I want this book to reach the ending it deserves.

Persisting in writing a million words and not regretting the results is also a kind of success!
