Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

Hello everyone, my name is Aozora. Unknowingly, this book already has 1.76 million words. But judging from the plot, it seems that it has not entered the middle stage yet. There have been many bumps along the way, which is far less smooth than the previous book. There are always many surprises in the creation, and some You won’t know until you fall into the pit that it’s really deep.

According to the plot line, this is a story after the timeline of "I'm Not a Witch". I also want to stretch my personal imagination about the future world and tell the story of a protagonist who grows from youth to mature and powerful. However, when I actually create it, I also find that many questions.

First of all, times have changed. Stories about immaturity, gradual experience, and slow growth are no longer suitable for online novels. Such story lines often involve the protagonist awakening and realizing at a certain juncture after facing some failures, setbacks, and blows. The change seems okay at first glance, but when you actually read it, the reader will feel a sense of frustration. In addition, everyone has seen this kind of routine a lot. Even if it grows up, it will not bring much joy. I just feel that it is long overdue. in this way.

Therefore, most of the current stories are about maturing, becoming more mature and powerful, and skipping directly to the initial stage of frustration and discomfort.

After talking about the protagonist, let’s talk about politics and social form.

It is undeniable that with the progress of the times, the public has a new understanding of various concepts and beliefs in the past. Many old-era beliefs such as loyalty, filial piety, chastity, sacrifice, and unconditional obedience have to be questioned.

Who am I fighting for? Is everything I have paid really rewarded? Are all these sacrifices really valuable?

Many concepts are being deconstructed, and more and more people believe that these moral concepts are just used by the upper class to govern and restrain themselves, and they are just for profit propaganda, etc.

Yes, more and more cases, incidents, and news in society have made people fall into all kinds of anxiety. Everyone is afraid of losing money, afraid of being cheated, afraid of not being able to keep what little they have, and they are wary of all kinds of ideas that they want to instill. Suspicion, it seems that the only feasible way is to continuously seek benefits for oneself.

But individuals are small, like duckweeds without a destination. Although they seem to be free, they will be very fragile if they encounter any unexpected risks.

Looking at the past, those old Confucian ideas of monarchs and ministers, slaves and masters, and the patriarchal system that strictly governs everything are very uncomfortable and disgusting. Looking at the future, the various 'freedom' ideas advocated now seem beautiful. But if you think about it carefully, there are many problems.

There is a wolf in front and a tiger in the back. Behind it is the cage of the old era. In front is the cliff in the sky. You can fly freely, but there is no clue below, so most people fall into confusion and wandering.

Novels are products based on reality. When reality has many dissatisfactions, deficiencies, and dullness, people will want to make up for these shortcomings in fantasy works.

When I started writing the book, I also created it with the idea of ​​​​imagining the future of civilization, drawing on many elements, such as cyberpunk, stars, various science fiction novels, etc. However, when I actually wrote it, I found that there were too many problems to solve. solved.

When you describe a beautiful tree crown, how do you explain where the roots are? It may not be difficult to describe cyberpunk, but it is very difficult to explain how such a society is formed and maintained. Although cyberpunk is constructed There are many scenes, but behind such scenes is a very fragile system that is about to collapse and cannot last long.

But even this is probably the limit of the future that the public can imagine. In the future, what form and social environment humans in the interstellar era will live in are still too far away from us. It was only a hundred years ago. During the Qing Dynasty, people at that time could not imagine the current information age environment at all, because the things that built such an environment had not yet entered the public eye at that time.

Regarding things that do not yet exist in cognition, we have to use them to conceive a complete social system and world. If we talk too far, it will make people feel illusory. It just feels like a long list of unfamiliar terms that need to be explained and understood, and it has no bearing on reality. It has no reference significance, and a story composed of such things is difficult to resonate with and move people.

If we take a few steps back and just use the cognitive extension of modern society to describe the future interstellar era, it will indeed be much easier to write, and everyone can understand such life scenes, but it will also seem a bit petty, like primitive people in space. Campfire barbecue cannot satisfy readers’ new expectations for the future world.

While writing this book, I gradually discovered that my imagination of the future has limits. I am not a human sociologist, nor am I an extremely knowledgeable researcher. The more I describe such a vast world, the more I find that I still have limitations. There are superficial parts, and in the end I can only focus on this and say some fragmentary words that are not systematic.

I've always been disgusted with novels that don't advance the plot, talk long nonsense about wheels, and engage in obscure and greasy political debates. But I still find myself doing these boring and uncomfortable things again. I always want to have clear ideas. I gave everyone a satisfactory answer, but the results went around and around, and I still couldn't say anything new.

It’s just the same old sayings, fairness, equality, solidarity, etc., but I think everyone has heard these too many times and is a little tired of them.

The mania of the times urgently requires a new faith to fill the increasingly empty hearts of the public. Unfortunately, such a perfect system framework has not yet been born.

Novels are the product of fantasy, and they can easily fabricate a perfect answer. However, if you want everyone to believe this answer, you need to build a foundation with reasonable logic. I have been trying to describe some kind of beautiful future, but I found that I am still a little unable to do it, so the book also has some problems from time to time. There are these strange and unconscious debates on the Bible. I hope these things will not cause trouble to everyone. Let them be regarded as the author's thoughts.

In the future, I will try to reduce the boring parts of this kind of debate, but I guess I still have to write some. I just hope that everyone will not expose my shallowness, because this is all I can do.

It seems a bit frustrating to say it. Internet writing should be relaxed and refreshing, but I am still a little greedy. I always want to write something that will make people remember me many years later, so I unconsciously want to dig deeper and try to use this method. Act differently to retain everyone's love.

If this kind of behavior is done well, it will naturally bring fame and fortune; if it is not done well, it will appear nondescript and only add to the laughter. I think that the current book is not very good. I feel uncomfortable writing it, and I think it is not refreshing enough for everyone reading it.

I will still work hard to write it down. After all, it is already 1.7 million words long. At this time, the eunuch can’t explain it at all. But later on, I may not be able to live up to some of your expectations, because I can’t tell you any completely shocking world view of the future. I just try my best. Describing some new possibilities or future fantasies, I hope everyone will restrain their excessive expectations.

The plot will probably be more focused on Tilan's daily life, more light and refreshing. Of course, there will also be big scenes. Sometimes it's just for the sake of vinegar, making this pot of dumplings.

Little Tilan is really unfortunate. She should have been able to reach the end of the level smoothly like Luo Lan, but in my writing, in order to describe the world from her perspective, she had to suffer a lot of hardships and do some extraordinary things. It is so in line with her original thoughts that I hope everyone can be a little tolerant of her. After all, some problems are caused by the author's lack of writing skills, not her own fault.

That’s all I want to say today. I wish everyone a happy 520 holiday, my dear friends~
