Your chapters and comments let me know that I am not alone, there are everyone with me, or someone is watching.

There are also those book friends who just read books, subscribe silently, and reward silently, thank you very much, thank you very much for your support!

I will briefly summarize and review the writing process and thinking of this book.

1. Ideas.

When I first came up with the idea of ​​this book, in fact, the setting of abilities was mainly related to physical fitness, supplemented by mental abilities and system abilities. The protagonist also wanted to suck human blood, but he set himself a The principle of the heinous person's blood, the core contradiction is the conflict between the protagonist's ability improvement, bloodthirsty instinct and his self-cognition, social order, and moral bottom line. The main perspectives are all focused on the protagonist, and the overall style will be dark.

But I also know from the description that writing like this is too dangerous.

So in the end, my idea is to take the development route of mutation ability as the main line, sensory ability is the core, and all stories and plots are developed around the development of the ability system.

Because the daily style was set at the beginning, the roles of Nana, Lao Xia, Xiaopang Niu, Little Apple, and Yang Laosan will be very important.

Many readers will complain about how the world is too small, and you can meet them everywhere, because this book is not a mode of changing maps and dungeons. Most of the characters will basically appear from the beginning to the end, so Only relatively important characters will have names, reducing the burden on readers to remember names.

As long as there is a name, there will be follow-up contact, otherwise, it will be a special nickname from beginning to end, such as tall and thin man, short-haired man, boy with earrings, etc., like Officer Chen, and it will still be Officer Chen until the end.

2. How to write.

The theme of this book is mainly exploration and discovery, rather than confrontation, so you should find that Xiang Kun is more looking for the source of ability and power, and more is negotiation with the unknown , rather than other mutated creatures or villains.

It is to keep repeating the process of [discovery-analysis-integration-development].

It is based on this way of writing that in the later stages of this book, there is basically no tension and suspense, whether it is facing Mr. Liang or The Ultimate Predator.

It's like writing about the confrontation between the two armies, or about the war. Generally, it is written from the battlefield, from the layout of the two armies, from the commander's battle of wits and courage, and from the conspiracy and tricks of the two spies. Tanks, fighter planes, rows of missiles, and warships are displayed in front of the readers one by one, describing their performance and power, and then when the real fight starts, the camera is on the battlefield, and the readers see the weapons and equipment on the opposite side. , you can understand the result in an instant.

So relatively speaking, this method is Gujing without waves, pushing all the way flat, without any exciting passages.

3. Hesitation.

In fact, after it was put on the shelves, I found that the performance of this book exceeded my expectations, and I was a little hesitant—whether to use a faster-paced writing method.

For example, owls, Guo Tianxiang, and spiders are devoured one by one. After devouring, they will gain abilities. Abilities are packed treasure chests, which can be found by clicking on them, which is simple and direct.

Mr. Liang represents a force, fight wits with him, kill, devour, and gain abilities; in Europe, John, Joel and the Red Rose are another force, kill, devour, and gain abilities; in Japan, you can create several vampires Family, fight wits, kill, devour, gain abilities, and even have an affair with vampire girls; go to Africa, fight wits with ancestor vampires, discover ancient conspiracies, prehistoric treasures, secrets, etc.; go to the bottom of the sea, there are other A world, get pets, mounts, bases and more...

The pace of writing in this way can be much faster, and the speed can be much faster, but I gave up without much hesitation. It’s not that I think that writing in this way is not a good book, but that it goes against the writing plan I originally established. It may become more and more boring as it goes on, and then collapse.

So I continued according to my original writing method. Although the results have dropped a lot in the follow-up, my overall plot has not collapsed, and my writing confidence has not collapsed. I know why the subscription has dropped, I know where the problem is, and I can bear it.

4. Reflect.

I don't think I chose the wrong way of writing, but I misjudged the difficulty of long-form serialization.

[Discovery-Analysis-Integration-Development] This cycle mode can be written beautifully, but for me, the daily 4K update can't be held, and the time is not enough.

If I can expand the time by five to six times, or even ten times, I think I can write much more excitingly, unlike many contents that are too boring and boring, and there are too many long-winded and expository texts.

Not interesting enough, this is the deadliest point.

However, it is impossible to have so much time to think about long-form serial novels. First, readers do not have the patience to wait, and second, the author does not have the patience to maintain such a long-term investment.

I know that the appearance of Alice will make many readers who think that the previous writing method is reasonable cannot accept it, or even abandon the book, but I still choose to let the protagonist create Alice and give her surreal abilities, because she was the protagonist at the beginning. A super plug-in that allows me to directly describe a lot of capabilities without long explanations.

When Mr. Xiangliang broke through the limits of carbon-based organisms and used biological components to transform his life form, I actually bought some books and prepared some materials. If you have time to see it, you can only construct ideas based on a relatively superficial understanding;

During the Ultimate Predator, I bought a lot of books on microbes and prepared some materials. I wanted to build a basic utopian framework for how it would specifically affect the life and death of organisms, and how to monitor information through this system, but I couldn't. Enough time, so the entire Ultimate Predator system is relatively shallow;

When I was writing The Antarctic Crisis, I bought some books related to climate and geography. I wanted to figure out what kind of changes the drastic changes in Antarctica would bring to the global climate and ecology, and to create a 2012-style doomsday. The scene, but I didn't have time to see it, and I didn't have time to absorb knowledge and conceive carefully;

There are still many, many points. I have ideas in that area, but I don’t have enough reserves in that area, and the serialization does not allow me to absorb knowledge first, and then polish the content.

During the Antarctic Crisis, I also thought about abandoning this way of writing, and directly describing a crisis, describing a tragic battle, that is, in order to save the world and for the people he loves, the protagonist has to take a risky battle. Everyone thought that after he died with the Ultimate Predator, the king would return.

I also thought about only writing about how Alien No. 1 crushed the research base team, how it defeated Mr. Liang and Jiang Chun, and how when everyone was desperate, the God of Heaven Xiang Kun descended and came with thunder, revealing that everything was planned by him The truth of the temptation, and then work all the way to the Alien World, and play with Alien No. 1 in the palm of your hand.

Writing in this way is definitely easier to mobilize readers' emotions and looks better.

But in the end I was still limited by the way this book was written, and I still showed the Arsenal to readers.

Trapped by the writing method, I am a little paranoid, but the inertia is too great, and I can't stop it. I just feel that Xiang Kun is almost omniscient and omnipotent now, and that kind of crisis is totally unreasonable and should not be. If there is a crisis, if the villain's intelligence is not lowered, then Xiang Kun's development team will be hit hard, and I can't let that happen.

This is a kind of paranoia that if you want to write to 5, you must have 1, 2, 3, 4 before that. If you want to use this function, you have to define and declare first. It is to build this self-consistent in my mind. Reverse constraints brought about by the capability system.

I understand that this will make the novel unattractive, but it can't be helped, the inertia of the whole book has been formed, and I can't control it.

5. Plan.

Serial novels are not reference books after all, and fun is always the first element.

So my goal for the last book is to finish the book, this book's goal is to finish the book as planned, and the goal of the next book is - readability.

At the same time, I will also write some ideas in the form of short and medium stories. This form allows me to have time to revise and polish, and my mentality will not be affected by grades-because there are no grades.

The book of bloodlines is over, but the lives of the characters in the book are not.

Their stories continue to happen in another space, and I will also record them in the form of extra episodes.

After finishing this book, chapters may not be able to be operated, so extra episodes will be posted on my official account (sxhb2020).

In addition, there is a chapter on the starting point that is full of benefits, which is a 7,000-word short story of Liu Shiling. Interested book lovers can also read it. At the bottom of all chapters, only the mobile APP can be seen for the time being.

Well, see you in the next book.
