The Book of Troubled Times

 Hum, take a day off tomorrow

Due to illness these days, my condition is really not good, and the update time is unstable. I'd better take a rest and adjust the time.

Also by the way, let me say a few words about these recent plots.

This plot has nothing to do with illness or the like, because the sense of immersion in this plot is inevitably lacking.

It is not like the previous situation where the protagonist is involved in some difficult situation and tries to solve it - maybe it is just about surviving on a desert island, and that is not what the big plot is about.

As for the whole plot, it is actually Lao Zhao who got involved in other people's stories, and through this he showed a picture of the characters in the sea, including loyal ministers, heroes, traitors, and the game between the tolerant emperor and the gods and demons.

In other words, these plots are written by someone else, not Zhao Changhe. Zhao Changhe is just a detective character, unfolding these pictures for everyone.

He has no pressure to survive and no sense of urgency. Things have nothing to do with him in the first place. It is understandable that he will get a boring feeling of "it's none of my business, I don't care" when reading.

And due to the limitation of Zhao Changhe's personal perspective, many details are invisible, which makes it appear "fast", because he can only see these and want to elaborate, but there is nothing to say.

 The reason why I chose this way of writing is not to seek a breakthrough or to create a group portrait, because it is logically like this.

 The affairs at sea are none of his business. No one is targeting him, and his strength is not as difficult as before when he was weak. He is already a character who can preside over the situation. Now he is taking the initiative to cause trouble for the Poseidon. As of now, he doesn't even know where the Poseidon is. Naturally, he has to get involved through other side stories. Of course, you can also deepen your relationship with Turtle by the way.

In other words, these current chapters are a side story about other people, not the story of the protagonist. I think a lot of people who are interested in other people's stories say it's well written; but those who feel that other people's stories are "none of their business" probably just don't know what this paragraph is about.

 But a book cannot be without other people’s stories.

I remember when I asked about the postscript, I once said that I wanted to expand the story of Yu Zhenren and write more from their perspective. But I gave up later because I felt that many people would not read it. At that time, many people said no, no, it should be like that. Facts have proved that the choice made back then was correct. There is a lot of lack of sense of immersion in other people's stories.

 Spread your hands.

  In any case, there won’t be many writing methods like this in the future, it’s just a lead, so you don’t need to worry about it. If you like this section, read it carefully. If you don't, just skip it.

As for those who say "conspiracy can't be written well", please, there is no conspiracy from beginning to end... I really can't write something that doesn't exist.
