At this point, the main text is over. The arranged story line has basically been pushed out. It has been successfully completed according to the outline, and there is not much difference with the expected time. I said that the book will be completed at the end of last month, which is almost the same. The plot ends here just right. The original plan was to return to the real universe as the ending. What I wanted was the feeling of an abrupt end. Although there is still something to write in the future, it is another story. What about a super-magic mechanic in the city? I won’t go into details in the text.
It has been three and a half years since I wrote this book. It is my first time to write a five-million-word novel, and I still have some inexperience. But looking back now, the overall completion is pretty good. I’ve written what I planned to write, and it’s a good thing that it’s finished successfully.
After a while, I will have to reread it from the beginning and sort out the advantages and disadvantages. The original intention was to write a relaxing and interesting novel. Looking back, I think it was okay, with some exceptions. Sometimes the humorous paragraphs I write can make me laugh out loud, which is quite rare.
Although I have written several books, I feel a little melancholy every time I finish them. After all, The Mechanic has been serialized for three and a half years, and it has become a habit. During the serialization period, I looked forward to taking a vacation, but after finishing it, I felt a little sad. I feel that games and movies are not exciting. Some people joke that writing novels is more fun than anything else. In fact, it is true. Once you get used to it, you can’t put it away. I feel exhausted if I don’t code for a day, but I feel exhausted when coding. , so I still have to rest for a while, recover my mental state, and digest the experience.
I think that the serialization period is equivalent to leveling up, and the free time after the completion of a book is a systematic point-adding stage. It is impossible not to summarize after writing. To put it bluntly, My book should be a big improvement compared to the previous one, probably as much as five floors behind.
The results of this book are still very good, with an average order of 54,000, and it is also very popular on the international site. The first order is about 3,000, but it gradually gets better in the middle, and then slowly increases. , some brothers think that I wrote well in the early stage. In fact, from my current perspective, the early stage of writing is the most immature. However, when I first started the book, I was most enthusiastic and in the best state, which can make up for it a little bit. Generally speaking, this book was written with trepidation and walking on thin ice. Every day is a new challenge. I am afraid that one day I will be unstable and I will take the wrong path. It will be difficult to change during the serialization process. I have encountered this at least a dozen times. Fortunately, I reacted in time and deleted and rewritten it before publishing. The mental pressure of maintaining a best-selling book is still greater than imagined. But for me personally, this is an interesting process. Three and a half years is enough for students to finish high school and enter college. There is still half a year left over, and they may even find a girlfriend. Long-term serialization is quite tiring, but it is also a rare life. Experience, with the foundation of this book, and experience with the structure of long novels, you can use this as a basis in the future to become proficient and increase the update speed.
Looking back on the serialization process of this book, in terms of rhythm, structure, and achievements, it is generally relatively stable. Player NPC themes are inherently difficult to stabilize. Later, I changed the focus and extended the duration of the work.Lifeline has shifted from gimmicky novels to focus on plot content, and it has done a pretty good job in this regard. I am not a passionate and explosive player. I try my best to keep the number of words at an appropriate level that I can bear every day, so that I can maintain my state for a long time. Increasing or decreasing it rashly will disrupt the rhythm of writing. I still need to make a choice and focus on stability. In the end, the overall completion level I Quite satisfied. In fact, novels have to be written slowly. The best state for serialization is like Big Eyeball, Go Away, and Squid. It is stable, strong, and enjoyable to write. However, the market pays attention to output, so we will find ways to improve it later.
When I was writing this closing speech, I made some statistics on a whim. The outline, detailed outline, and scraps of this book combined totaled about 1.45 million words, which is almost one-third of the length of this book. The word count is up, and I feel that there are not many people who have more words than me. I have to sort it out from the beginning. My scalp feels numb after reading it. There are just too many.
As for the creative concepts and techniques contained in it, I feel that every finished book is a textbook. It’s too troublesome to talk about. I haven’t even finished it myself. It’s best for those who are interested to refine it themselves. .
Back to the story itself, the overall structural layout of the novel is quite clear in my opinion, and it is done well in this regard. I also like the world view structure of Xinghai, but it also spreads the story too much. , it needs more time to finish, otherwise it will be finished in the first half of the year. In fact, most of the pitfalls have been almost filled in. Some of the places that I find strange are basically foreshadowing or foreshadowing earlier in the book. You can always find them when you look back.
This ending was set more than a year ago. I don’t really like endings that explain everything in detail. I prefer endings that relive the past or leave blanks. No matter how much, It's a grand and exciting story, but you have to return to ordinary life in the end. I really like this concept. The plot after returning to the real universe was not planned to be written in the main text. All the clues have been revealed, and the rest can be deduced in a logical way. I will leave it to you. Just click on the aftertaste.
As for the characters, although the protagonist puts profit first, he can always bring good changes to the world. He is good at deeds regardless of his intentions. Some characters also have their own personalities, but in the whole story, my favorite is actually Lucky, a staunch pessimist who is also lazy enough to lie down instead of sitting down. It is simply a dream state, ha.
It seems that I have gone too far. When writing a speech, it is easy to ramble on and get back to the topic.
In short, after the main story is written, I should write some extras from time to time, maybe some character side stories, or extended stories that are difficult to write in the main text and slow down the pace, such as the details during each version update. Experiences, or personal adventures of certain characters. We will study the details later.
As for a sequel or something, that depends on the situation. I don’t have any ideas at the moment. I might write it if I’m interested in it in the future.
During the serialization period, my brain was relatively single-threaded. I was immersed in the world in the book. I was afraid that I would lose my status when I pulled it out. I didn’t pay attention to other things, and many things were delayed. After I finished writing, I You also need to go for a comprehensive physical examination to check your illness and maintain your health., exercise your body, and when the adjustment is almost complete, then start writing a new book seriously. For now, I have only created a blank folder and haven’t thought about anything yet. I will wait for some time to relax my brain before I can have mental ideas.
