~: Finish this testimonial

International practice, I also come to the last testimonial.

(Ahem, it’s not so much a testimonial, it’s my confession, personal reflection.)

It’s the first time to write a novel, the first time to sign a contract, and the first time to put it on the shelves... There are too many firsts, I am very grateful, I am so lucky to have met so many readers and friends, thank you for your great support along the way!

I started writing on May 6, 2021. Nearly a year and a half, many readers and friends came, and some friends who hated iron and steel left. I have many familiar names in my heart. Thank you very much. Everyone, every one of your collections, every subscription, every ticket, and many other rewards, thank you!

Special thanks to my three cute masters: aviation nuclear fusion (this big ID seems to be cancelled, but I still remember it), Xiaofeidu, Caivle. Thank you very much for the expensive support of the three, as well as the rewards of many, many other brothers. I will not list them all. I hope you don’t mind.

By the way, I would also like to thank my editor-in-chief "Latiao Da". Although we only said one sentence, less than five words, from the opening of the book to the end, but there are various recommendations, and spicy strips are not less given. However, I am very grateful, and silently supported my spicy strips behind my back!

Everyone is so familiar, the words of thanks are all in the wine, I did it, everyone is free, gulugulu~~ Ah!

Next, start self-reflection:

In the last two months, the update really sucked. I'm sorry everyone, please forgive me, and I won't say any excuses. The real reason is that my grades are too bad and I can't make money. I put all my energy into work and life.

Because of my own reasons, I am guilty of letting readers and friends who have always supported me feel cold!

Then it is about the content of the novel. The first time I wrote a novel, I was still too young, and the stall was too large. In the later stage, I was unable to follow up. Originally, when I signed the contract at the beginning, I signed two million words, and then the worldview was written. It is too big, so it should take more than 3 million words to write normally. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, most of the following content has been simplified. After castration, only 2.58 million words were written.

In fact, most of my readers and friends supported me to finish it quickly, and I couldn’t bear it anymore, but there were also one or two enthusiastic friends who kept telling me to write more, hahaha, I’m really sorry.

One of the reasons why I can't continue writing is because my grades have really hit the street, and another reason is that the overall conception and writing style of this book have made it impossible for me to continue writing.

Here is my summary:

1. Novels, the plot is king, the writing is second, the world structure and setting are again, and as a newbie like me, I have completely reversed the head and tail, and I have been working on the world structure and setting. Many places that should have been described in detail have been briefly mentioned.

2. From the very beginning, I didn't put myself in the right position, I didn't put myself in the author's perspective of God, or even the reader's perspective, but directly substituted myself into the protagonist.

The root of everything is that I read a novel one night, and then I imagined that if I crossed, what ability would I have to pretend to be invincible in the face of the world? So there was "immortality, immortality and damage reversal", so I opened this novel, so I put these two talents on Bai Donglin's head...

You may have noticed that Bai Donglin's abilities, exercises, and martial arts are the kind of things that go against the sky once and for all.

Where would a smart writer write like this? The protagonist has everything, how about the number of water characters, the water plot?

The writing method once and for all is the most unfriendly to the author. His grandmother's, the most cool is the protagonist Bai Donglin. It can be seen that I have indeed put myself in the position of the protagonist. Don't want to do it once and for all? It's so tiring to change kung fu and martial skills at every turn.

Therefore, this point is also my own self-inflicted suffering, which leads to a lot of plots and pretense links, and there is no chance for me to appear at all.

3. Regarding the original intention of writing this novel, the two talents that suddenly appeared above are the second, and the most important is the setting of "Zhutian Daoyan". UU Reading comes from when I sometimes read novels. At times, I suddenly think about the wonderful world in the novel, which is all imagined by the author, and it is all false. At that time, there will be an inexplicable sense of loss and emptiness, so there will be "Zhentian Daoyan", hahaha, fantasy worlds are all It is real. The author's writing is one of the means for the strong to spread the traces. The world of low martial arts is also an exchange of information between the heavens. I wrote this point of view, and it can be said that I am most satisfied with this novel.

According to the setting of "Zhutian Daoyan", if a new book is to be opened in the future, the characters in "Undying" will still have a chance to appear as a background board and ceiling, so those friends who asked me to continue writing more should not be angry, Although this book is over, those characters are still there, Bai Donglin is still there, and there are times when he will show up.

4. I was still in a hurry to start the book. I didn’t understand anything, and I didn’t prepare anything. I just started writing because of a temporary interest. Not to mention the manuscript, I didn’t even have an outline. I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes. When the five-color **** stone "Cangming" debuted for the first time, I didn't even know what it was. It was just to add a treasure to the adventure. Connect the plot.

To be honest, under this circumstance, I still admire my own nonsense ability to finish writing this, which is really ashamed.

If I want to open a new book, it may be a long time later. I will definitely prepare well, learn lessons, and at least make progress.

Thank you for your understanding and tolerance!

Thank you all for listening to my nagging. This is also a summary of myself, reminding myself not to make the same mistakes.

above.

Goodbye friends!

Don
