Walk alone in the abyss

It's that time of year again to finish this testimonial!

Thank you for your company all the way, watching the book "Walking Alone in the Abyss", from a seedling to a novel of 2.6 million words!

Thank you, old and new readers, for your support!

The quality of the book is up to the readers to judge.

Here, I personally feel that in terms of the degree of completion of the current works, "Senior Brother", "Abyss", "Human Immortal", and "The First Sword" are arranged in order. I have invested in this book with the same enthusiasm as my senior brother. , In terms of grades... I didn't really care much before the book was published. I thought that thousands of people would book the complete book, but I didn't expect to get so many readers in the end. It was already a surprise.

To be honest, after I finished writing the core of this book, that is, the chapter "I hate humans", I felt a sense of relief. What I have been conceiving and expressing, I have finally written it.

This is the story I want to write.

Then I slept for more than ten hours, but I really couldn't open my eyes. When I woke up, I saw a few strands of white hair.

In the future, I actually want Yang Ming to visit the Milky Way and write an extra 20,000 words to earn manuscript fees, but after careful calculation, writing like that is not as good as it is now. It is enough to say goodbye to everyone after completing the dimension upgrade. There is no need to overdo it. Sensational.

After all, this is only the first in the series.

This testimonial is a bit long, and I will briefly talk about the story behind this book from three aspects.

...

First, the plot aspect.

The plot advances to Yang Ming Shengwei, and there is no way to write it down.

The high-dimensional world is not unimaginable, but as long as it is written, it is a false proposition, which fundamentally negates the idea of ​​this book, and the story of Yang Ming as the protagonist must come to an end here. , with a high probability of appearing as a background board.

I have planned three full-length novels of pure science fiction, and "Walking Alone in the Abyss" is the first one, and it is also the "first time" for me to learn and try. For this reason, I also left some small regrets caused by lack of experience.

However, the overall rendering effect, I am already very satisfied!

The second part is Earth's participation in "Faya's Game" (not the title of the book). This will not be written until my next book, Xianxia, ​​is finished. I will explain the specific reasons to you later.

In my understanding, science fiction works must have a clear topic of discussion, such as "Walking Alone in the Abyss". What I focus on is the form of existence (ultimate AI) of reason and law, which is a limited fantasy of human civilization in the Milky Way.

And in the second part, it focuses on discussing the survival of earth civilization and the positive effect of individual efforts on the collective.

The two are not only different in the protagonist, but also in the core core, so they must be written separately.

I have been seeing many readers complaining about this book, saying why the starting point does not give this book traffic.

This has nothing to do with the starting point, and no one has targeted me or anything.

"Walking Alone in the Abyss" is a niche book, the starting point does not even have the same type of book, and the market acceptance is limited, the readership group is not that big, and the recommendation data is not good. When I opened the book, it was released suddenly. There is no traffic. reasonable.

It's also because I'm thin-skinned and not very social, and I didn't talk to Dianniang about related issues.

When writing the second part, I will try my best to find some mothers to fight for resources!

The sudden opening of the book also caused some troubles to the starting point editorial team. I sincerely apologize to the editorial team here. It really caused you trouble!

Letting one's own book be seen by more readers is the strongest motivation for the author to write.

If you think this book is well written, please recommend it to friends who like science fiction works!

From the point of view of data, this book should not get the resources provided by Dianniang. I can only rely on the readers, and only when the book is finished and the degree of completion is pushed enough, I dare to ask everyone to help promote it Down.

...

Second, the difficulty of writing.

I have gained a lot from this attempt.

Is the book Abyss difficult to write?

It is difficult for me to write at this stage, and I often get stuck.

There is no upgrade system, and some writing methods that are not pleasing to the web are started in about 100 chapters, which makes me feel a lot of writing resistance, but I have to move forward.

This made me wonder for a while—was it a bit silly for me to write about space operas in web articles?

But it turns out that pure science fiction in space opera can also gain a certain audience.

The starting point Niche market is not dead.

I believe that with the continuous advancement of my country's science and technology and the continuous improvement of national strength, sci-fi works written with sci-fi concepts will inevitably have better and better development in the online literature market and even in the entire Chinese literature industry.

*Note: At present, this kind of web articles are still in the ice-expanding period.

...

Third, the original intention of creation.

I want to say a few more words about this.

When "Walking Alone in the Abyss" was first launched, only my editor at the official starting point knew that I was working on this book.

The reasons are complex.

A lot of things happened when I was writing the last book "Heavenly Court". I didn't want to write about me who is good at the heroine in ancient costumes. As a result, the protagonist of Tianting was too weak, and I was not good at arranging urban plots. The follow-up inspiration and I There was a fierce conflict between the original character design, which made the writing more and more uncomfortable.

There were still a lot of people saying: 'This is too different from your original style. '

The more I think about it, the more depressed I become. Why do I have to be defined by a book by my brother? I simply pushed forward the main line and finished the settlement, and I didn’t sell the copyright (the copyright that Tianting was already negotiating was rejected at the time, and I lost a lot of tickets), let’s just write pure science fiction to prove that I am not only good at writing light comedy fairy tales Chivalrous daily style! Is pure science fiction different enough from the light comedy Xianxia I have been doing before? Ah ha ha ha ha...

Yes, that's the original intention.

The main focus is an angry literature and the character design of an old man who is young and sick.

But I am really sorry for the readers of Tianting. Although I tried my best to write the finale later, I still failed to complete the work of Tianting.

Apologies again for my youthful recklessness.

I must also face up to the failure experience of the book Heavenly Court and learn lessons from it.

At that time, there was actually another event that had a great impact on me.

I have always had a literary dream, so I have always yearned for the traditional cultural circle. These two books, Senior Brother and Immortal, not only allowed me to win platinum and various awards, but also let me take the lead among post-90s authors. In the end, I was fortunate to be appreciated by the leader, who arranged for me to enter the legendary Lu Xun Academy of Literature Advanced Research Class (the advanced research class of Lu Xun Academy of Literature is different from the online class of Lu Academy, this weight is very important, and the experience of this class can be written in your resume).

Then I was kind of disillusioned.

The literary circle I yearn for... How should I put it, my classmates at the same time were indeed of high standard and very literati, but they left.

Breaking away from the public, he has delved deeper and deeper into the direction of the high-ranking and the few, the spring and the snow, and the indifference of ordinary people.

Why can't online literature based on the majority of readers represent our culture?

Yes, there are indeed many problems in the current online literature as a whole. Plagiarism is commonplace, following trends is a trend, and popularity often passes the bottom line. But online literature as a whole is still good and positive, with fertile soil and a large number of new authors. Our works are constantly iterating and developing, and the core function of online literature is to serve the widest audience. Reader groups provide after-dinner entertainment.

Isn't this also the important role of literature?

When I was studying in the advanced research class, I suffered a little discrimination and was thinking about how to further make Internet literature a mainstream literary form that is widely recognized.

I have to say, my brain is pumped, and I am only thirty years old to think about such a big proposition.

But it was really thinking, watching and thinking.

How can we web writers prove that only literature based on readers is the soft power cultural fist that can compete with American dramas, Japanese comics, and Korean thighs.

The only short-term path I can think of is sci-fi.

It can be said that at this stage, online novels that only have realistic themes and sci-fi concepts are the most promising.

Realistic themes have too few audiences among young people. Everyone just wants to be entertained and relieve stress. Realistic themes are often too heavy.

Science fiction literature has a very broad future in online literature.

Science fiction, I refer to science fiction concepts, science fiction, and highly readable novels, which is a blue ocean that is rarely explored in current online literature.

There are only a few books in this category that can have a certain influence. Similar books are extremely difficult to survive in the current "light, frivolous, refreshing, and fast" web environment.

So, I want to try it.

I am just an author, and what I can do is extremely limited, but I can try, use my passion, inspiration, and time to fight, and try to see if this kind of book can survive in the current online literature ecology.

At that time, I told myself that if an author like me who loves science fiction and has written famous works does not make these attempts, few people will dare to try.

As it turns out, I was lucky.

I have met so many readers who also love these kinds of stories.

The starting point reader group still has the best inclusiveness in the online literature world.

I initially conceived towards hard sci-fi, and found that hard sci-fi has a high threshold and small genre. It is unrealistic to conquer most of the readers who "come for fun", and the real hard sci-fi will also limit the development of the plot.

Therefore, I put the concept of hard science fiction (if you want to write a long novel, you can’t be too hard, and you have to lower the reading threshold if you want to get a grade. I haven’t found a suitable balance for this) in the second part. "Lonely in the Abyss" to introduce the second part.

In short, I started "Lonely in the Abyss" on impulse, and I finished writing "Lonely in the Abyss" in ten months, and I don't regret putting my creative passion during this period on "Lonely in the Abyss".

that's enough!

...

about ~ on ~ new ~ book ~

Xianxia's new book has already written the opening chapter, conceived a complete story and outline, and it will be released at the starting point in late August, integrating elements such as ghosts and gods, and continuing to carry forward our traditional culture.

Because I opened the book "Walking Alone in the Abyss" willfully, so there is basically no time to rest this time.

The reason why I decided to return to Xianxia is because I have temporarily used up half of my sci-fi inspiration, and the remaining inspiration is not enough to support the creation of several million words. I need to adjust and wait for the inspiration to recover, and Xianxia inspiration is full of mind.

I'm also quite surprised that these two inspirations are not next to each other at all.

Another reason is more realistic. I must use books with good grades to stabilize the so-called "Godhead", ensure my influence and the spread of my works, and allow the platform to invest resources in me with confidence, so that I will have the opportunity to develop my full-length novels later. The most critical second part of the sci-fi series is the next Earth chapter.

To put it simply, the results of Abyss determine the recommended resources for my new Xianxia book; and the results of Xianxia's new book determine the recommended resources for the second science fiction novel.

The type of the new book is the style of cultivating immortals with an ancient background, and the sweetness, sharpness, and coolness are all on target.

Because the number of words in my books is less than 4 million words, the goal of the next book of Xianxia is to try to write 4 million words.

Writing a book of this style means returning to my comfort zone, and I will also moderately use monthly ticket red envelopes to increase the exposure of my work.

Everyone, don't read my Xianxia book with the standard of science fiction.

For example, one of the two sides is a drama and the other is a comedy, and the writing and writing styles are different.

The only thing that is the same is the core idea, which is the core idea I have been expressing in "Senior Brother", "Abyss", and "Human Immortal". This will not change.

The most obvious difference between the two sides lies in the female characters. The female characters in science fiction tend to be independent, while the female characters in Xianxia are more dependent because of their ancient style (there are still many readers who can’t tell the difference, and always complain about the book Abyss Why the heroine leaves the hero is determined by the concept of the genre and the tone of the style).

Readers who like the type of seniors can go to the new book to support it, and don’t force it if they don’t like it. You can look forward to the follow-up "Faya's Game" (the title has not been determined).

The results of the next Xianxia book are still very important for the future development of my pseudonym. It is also the first time I have written a book with such a detailed outline. Before, I wrote an outline of hundreds of words and wrote millions of words.

Here I implore the readers to support one or two, and support the personal stage. If you like the next fairy tale story, then subscribe and support it. Monthly tickets and genuine subscriptions are really important to the vitality of a work.

I still have a lot of stories to tell.

I still have a lot of writing plans that have not been realized.

I look forward to meeting again on the road of science fiction (about a year and a half away, my update speed is quite fast in the industry).

At that time, I will definitely present you with better and better sci-fi stories!

I hope that the book "Walking Alone in the Abyss" will gain more readers in the future, and let more readers know that there was once a guy named Yang Ming who had a little trouble in the corner of the Milky Way.

I'm getting down to business.

A newcomer author who likes to experiment and strive to innovate.

Thanks again for getting this book here! This is the biggest recognition for me!

besides!
