Plague Doctor

Chapter 782 End of this testimonial

Now that the book is finished, let me say thank you to everyone!The book was serialized for one year and four months, thank you for your support during the period.

When the final chapter was written, Wow Li let out a sigh of relief. The shadow of constantly losing SAN value but growing stronger accumulated in the creation of this story can be let go.

During the serialization period, there was no single chapter that talked about creation. It was Wali who liked to be a hidden author when he wrote the book. He didn't want to appear too much or talk too much and affect everyone's reading experience.Of course, I know that this kind of behavior is out of date, so I still have to say more in the future, so let’s start now.

Writing this book stems from the interest in Cthulhu and New Weird Tales, the activeness of related markets, and the support of medical technology, so I chose to combine them to write a story and a group of characters.This book relies on this perspective to bring novelty, and it is also the beginning of winning everyone's support.

What about after the beginning?What kind of story do you want to write in general?How to write it?

On the one hand, I am pursuing a compact story rhythm, and I want to create the feeling of Sisyphus, time after time, round after round, faster and harder, a world gradually going to the abyss, like a normal person Stepping into madness, and like a chronically ill person who is constantly fighting against the disease.A group of mortals try their best to fight with faith, hope, and the courage and stupidity that mortals can have. In the process, there are also thoughts, doubts, persistence, reshaping, and sublimation.

On the other hand, I don't think there's room for mediocrity in a story like this.Whether it's a single plot or a plot frame, scenes, atmosphere, lines, narration sentences... I don't want mediocrity, I try my best to write things that are not mediocre.I have always thought that disease is a serious matter, and it is also a serious matter for doctors to save lives. Whether it is a serious illness of a person or a plague, this story is bound to be bloody, shocking, and often horrible; Suddenly pulled out of life and thrown into such a situation, because disasters are impermanent and bad luck is sudden, and at these times, human nature is particularly tested, ordinary and mediocre are no longer, maybe falling into darkness, or shining brightly.

These stories bring horror, fear, pain...but is that all?This is not the only reading experience I want, it is superficial, and the story needs to have a deeper impact in the end, and it is a kind of catharsis and then purification.Drama is an important outlet for human beings, so when we read novels, watch movies, etc., we need stories, and death is often the most powerful outlet for drama. If the story is not mediocre, it must not be without death.

So I don't shy away from writing about death. I create death, explore the meaning and impact of death, and write those major moments of death very happily.

I like those strong emotional impacts, as well as the Cthulhu-style suspense and unknown fear, the taste of classical Gothic and modern new strange stories, the inner beauty and sublime of the stories and scenes, preferably with the power of original imagery, They are all pursued by Wahli.These cannot be singled out, but a comprehensive reading experience.In those climactic moments, Wow Li does not allow himself to be unable to do so. He must freeze a certain picture that can be expressed in words and let everyone imagine, as the greatest moment of catharsis.

In addition, in different chapters, I have focused on and explored different background styles, such as modern cities, fantasy lands, wasteland, Egyptology, etc.

Now that the writing is finished, I look back on it myself, and I am still satisfied. I think these pursuits have been achieved.

However, at the final stage of writing, Wali was really stuck for a while.

I am the kind of person who thinks a lot. Since the creation of this story, Wali has been facing his own dark side and death instinct.The story gradually expands from Gu Jun's personal situations such as self-help, double self, and life experience to the grand themes of the whole world and human civilization. The world in the book becomes more and more difficult, and the exploration of human nature becomes more and more complicated. I feel that the characters in the book are struggling, but I am also struggling.

It can be said that before the debut of the League of Life and Will, I wrote about the alien banyan disease, the new legionnaire's disease, and the negative choice of life... From the story to the scene design, I was very clear about the emotion I wanted to express, and what kind of catharsis I wanted to create. I write very passionately and write many scenes and sentences that satisfy me.But at the end of this outline, Wali has been unknowingly strangled by a struggle between light and darkness, and some questions keep haunting me: Can the human beings in the book world really resist it?Can this civilization really lead to a better future?Will it really not be corrupted by extraordinary power?How powerful can the flash of human nature be?

My light and dark sides are constantly at war, my optimism and pessimism are constantly at war, and whenever I try to throw myself into the light, there seems to be a sneer.I absolutely believe in the beauty of human nature, but I also absolutely believe in the ugliness of human nature. This complicated thing makes me doubt my own words.

I don't know where to start, but suddenly I don't seem to know how to write anything, and I feel so blocked, as if I have some strange disease.I think it has been accumulated for a long time. Many of the questions raised in the book have no answers, especially the question of the negative choice of life, which was exposed and trampled naked like the Alliance of Life Will, and an emotion suddenly broke out in my heart. It was clearly his own plan, but it was unexpected.

Up to this point, my creation is free, but my mind is restless, my heart is full of contradictions, and I often feel a sense of emptiness when facing my own words.

The content written in the outline is not difficult to write. After writing, I am not satisfied with the writing. I can’t write passionate and powerful words. I don’t like such words.Wowly has always pursued writing books with soul. This book may have various deficiencies, but it must have the power to touch people's hearts at certain moments—usually the climax moments.But I was stuck, not to mention the world in the book, I was almost defeated.

Because of this, the update in the final stage was intermittent and very unstable. Wowly apologizes again for this, I should have done better.

It wasn't until I finished the draft of the chapter "Incarnation of Nightmare" that I suddenly felt relieved.

If faced with a never-ending nightmare, throw yourself into it, become a part of it, and make it different.

I finally vented that emotion, but did I come to terms with myself?Maybe, I know that I have a good wish, but I still can't think clearly about some problems.What is the cough on the last bus in the book world?Just a normal cough?The start of another plague?Or the advent of hemoptysis?Can the Dr. Kalop of this world be cured?Will human civilization be better or worse?I think, leave these questions to everyone. Where do you believe that the world in the book will lead, and where you are willing to push it to lead, then it may lead to where.

This book has both good and bad aspects.

Because the rhythm is too tight, there is less space for character creation, and there is not much room for management details, which makes Wahli quite regrettable.

I personally think Gu Jun is the fullest character in the book. He has a complete growth chain. We know his thoughts, changes in his thinking, etc.; but my favorite is Wu Shiyu. If there is no Wu Shiyu, this story will be more difficult.Wu Shiyu is a person full of aura, interesting to speak, and transparent in life. She has many good things in human nature, but of course she also has such ugly things as laziness and gluttony.May she always have a happy life, keep her aura, and not be wiped out by the dust of life.

In addition, because the tone tends to be darker and the plot becomes more serious, the emotional output in the text is gradually becoming monotonous, and the SAN value is getting less and less.This is against the mainstream values ​​of online literature, especially when it comes to death, where many people died, playing with myocardial infarction instead of stalking; such intense emotional catharsis happened one after another in a story, which is very important to the author and readers Consumption, I know that some readers and friends look at it and say that they are tired, let’s raise it for a while, and then there will be no more.

These all lead to a decline in the later stage of the book compared to the early stage, but from another perspective, that is also the reason why this book is unique.

The content and writing of this book are often on the edge of the scale, and the title of the book has been changed again and again, from "Anatomy of a Ghoul" to "Plague Doctor" to "Dawn Doctor" (I really did not copy "Plague Doctor" ).It is precisely because of the various difficulties and imperfections inside and outside the book that it is especially precious to me that this book can achieve its current achievements and everyone’s love.

Won the Gold Award of the Suspense Channel's essay writing;

Selected as the 2019 Twelve Kings of China Literature;

The book was translated into English and posted on the starting point international website;

Selling the copyright of the manga - well, the manga has been decided, and it is still in the preparatory stage of production, if it goes well, it will come out, looking forward to it!

This book is a new peak in Wowley's creative career. If you haven't read this book, you just read this testimonial after reading it, or you want to read what Wowley said for a long time. Believe me, this pit is worth it Entering it will bring you a different reading experience, just because of my fresh writing and sunny temperament.

Next, Wowley will take a break first, adjust his body and emotions, and then prepare for the next book—summarize well, read some books, recharge his batteries, improve himself, and then start again.This process will take about half a year, and I will work hard to write the next good book.

I have a lot of new book ideas already in my mind and folders, but I haven’t decided which one to write. It should be related to the occult. The tone, style, and atmosphere of this book are probably different from this book, and I may not write modern books. The background, because some emotions have been vented, but I still have no answers to some questions. Maybe I will explore again in a few years, but it should not happen in the next book. I will start another journey. I hope that by then To be able to reunite with everyone and embark on a journey together.

Thank you, good night, goodbye!
