The magician of the fairy tale world

Chapter 53: Remarks on the launch

It will be put on the shelves at midnight on Saturday, and the chapter on Friday afternoon will also be moved there.

There will be a launch event and rewards at that time, but I don’t know the details.

The updates after the launch will definitely be faster than before the launch. There was a period of time before the launch, when I wrote two chapters a day with 1,500 words, or a single chapter with 3,000 words, which was still a bit short and not suitable for follow-up reading.

It will definitely not be that short after the launch.

There will be a guaranteed update of 10,000 words in the first two days before the launch, and we will see the situation in the next few days.

Many readers, including me in the past, have a misunderstanding, that is: novels are typed by authors on the keyboard in front of the computer.

This perception is not completely wrong. But in fact, the author is not a coder. The novel is made up by the author in his mind, and then the author types out what he has made up in his mind.

——[Bottleneck encountered in writing]——

This book is still quite tiring to write.

Crazy crazy writer.

The main thing is that there is almost no book with the same theme and achievements (at least it has been published in Sanjiang) to learn from.

(The kind of books that have ordinary performance in the early stage and have only become popular after writing a million words are of no learning significance to me. I can't possibly scan the list and write a million words for each book, so I can't write anymore.)

To be honest, I didn't plan to find a fairy tale theme at the beginning. I wanted to write a mythology style.

-So the language style of many places in this book, especially in the early stage, still retains the flavor of mythology.

In the end, I found that the mythology direction that can be written has been written by others, and it is meaningless to write again, and some myths are too niche and not suitable to be used as background.

In the end, I chose this almost blank theme.

When I really started writing, I found that this blank theme has a highlight that no one can refer to.

You have no idea how to go!

A big reason why novels have such things as themes is that a specific theme basically 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 with the same theme, and they will have a natural expectation of what will happen next, and it will not be difficult to satisfy everyone.

For example, in immortal cultivation literature, readers know that there must be sects and secret realms, and the level of cultivation is very important. They will expect the protagonist to upgrade and gain rewards such as magic weapons, elixirs, talismans, spirit stones, and fairy pets.

For example, in the fourth disaster, the common core plot is "the collision between the player's thinking and the natives of the other world" and "the players' shock at the high-fidelity game", and the expectation of upgrading and treasure hunting is relatively less important.

In more detail, such as "Lu Mingfei Returns from xx", readers immediately know that Lu Mingfei must use the abilities obtained from xx to rise and change his useless life.

There is no way, lack of a suitable direction, you can only explore slowly by yourself.

Some inspirations are good, and the feedback from the writing is also good, but after writing it once, if you continue to repeat similar plots, it will make people aesthetically fatigued.

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 and slightly off-track. So far, there have been about a dozen attempts, including some that were changed when the book was officially published.

If you have read the first draft of this book that I sent to the editor, you will definitely be surprised "Huh?" "So the protagonist's previous cheat code was so strange? There is also a panel that I can't even understand!"

——[Examples of attempts]——

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

One of the core plots of this book is to move 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 normal state of the earth elements and the other world.

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

This is completely the plot set in the initial outline.

In the end, I feel that the effect is not good. It may be related to the title introduction——

This title introduction has already screened the readers and pre-set some expectations, which essentially limits the direction that this book can choose! Readers who come for this title introduction are not mainly looking for this.

Later, I think that there can be some elements related to modern earth, but not too many.

Moreover, it must be consistent with the style of the story and cannot appear inconsistent.

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

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

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

[Future Update]

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum!

When writing this book, I often write 7,000 or 8,000 words a day when I am inspired, and I can't write a single word all day when I am not inspired.

Of course, when the new book is actually updated, I have to break the 7,000 words to two or three days. After all, I can't stop updating. I can't take a day off for 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 more.

I will update 10,000 words on the day of the release on Saturday.

I will try to update faster in the first week of the release.

At that time, Qidian will have a release event.

There are rewards for subscribing!

The cover picture of that event is pretty good.

…[Blessings] …

I hope I can write better and better!

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

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