postscript
From March 4, 2010 to January 1, 2010, the main text of Lingwu Division's Weapon Book was finally serialized.
I checked the word count and it had reached 1 million.
After finishing the main text, I was in a state of excitement and entanglement for several hours, because although I had started many pits before Lingwu, this was actually the first huge pit that I had completed publicly. Now looking back, even I didn't expect that I could actually crawl so many words =_=
At this moment, I am sitting in front of the computer, excited that I have filled a big hole, but also a little bit lonely as if my child has grown up and married (eh). After all, no matter what, I treat my work as if it were my own child, and I take it very seriously.
Let’s talk about the work itself.
Actually, the Lingwu Division Weapon Book is an environmental protection article. (Likely a typo!)
Actually, the Lingwu Division Weapon Book is just a huge prologue. (Keep on messing around!!)
Okay, it sounds annoying, but it's true. The world's entanglements and conflicts between various factions are all rooted in environmental issues. The protagonists' lives really only begin at the end of the story, and the battles before that were just their efforts to fight for a life of enjoyment.
The first thing I want to say is that Lingwu is a shameless harem YY Mary Sue novel. That’s how I wrote the outline.
Every article has its reason for existence. Classics are for people to worship, masterpieces are for people to savor carefully, and fast-food, amateurish articles can relax people and relieve their stress. Lingwu is such a fast-food, amateurish article.
I don't feel ashamed or out of taste for writing such vulgar Su YY articles. It's like some people are in the spice business while others specialize in producing toilets. Since there is a demand, there is a reason for existence. I don't think that people who produce spices are necessarily more noble than those who produce toilets. After all, I am just a vulgar person.
The outline has changed a lot since I wrote this, so there are inevitably many small plot bugs.
However, my original intention of "this is a story about a battle centered around the environment" has not changed. From the very beginning of my draft, I had already decided that the final boss of the story would be the planet - Senagard itself.
This idea came from the resentment I felt when I saw various news reports about environmental destruction. At that time, I often thought that if a planet had consciousness, the Earth would definitely hate us humans who are constantly corroding its body.
Of course, this kind of thinking is very childish. I know that some things are not so black and white (covering face).
But this kind of second-year idea remained quietly, leaving a seed in my mind. In the end, other plots gradually expanded and grew with this as the center, and finally woven into the current story.
As for why I chose the theme of "humanized weapons" - it's because I'm a weapons fan.
Maybe it's because there is a large proportion of masculine in my personality. From childhood to adulthood, I like weapons more than clothes and cosmetics (turning head), and I have also imagined what it would be like if a certain weapon turned into a human, so this resentment has accumulated.
In addition, I also like machines, non-human humanoids, and Chinese-style things - these can be seen in Lingwu, so it was still very joyful when I was writing, after all, I included all the elements I like.
Having said that in general terms, let's talk about the specific issues:
About the characters:
First of all, let’s talk about Beichen.
When I first started to define her, I had already decided to write about an ordinary person - an ordinary person who can independently support her own survival.
Her appearance, talents, and living conditions were indeed ordinary, yet she possessed a certain brilliance that only a mortal could possess. Having grown up in a less-than-perfect environment, facing the contempt of others, she harbored a deep-seated aversion to unequal treatment. Therefore, upon arriving in Senagard, where she could unleash her true nature, she treated the warriors with neither contempt nor condescension, instead treating them as human beings like herself. It was precisely because of this genuine affinity that she gained the favor of the warriors she later encountered.
In addition, she is a precocious person, so although she looks relatively gentle and active, she is still quite cautious in her behavior. From the beginning to the end, she rarely drags others into trouble because of impulse.
At the same time, her nature is quite kind—though some people think it's pretentious or sanctimonious (laughs). At first, I took this kind of criticism seriously and would argue with people, but now that I'm writing, I don't care anymore. I've created the kind of ordinary yet strong protagonist I wanted to portray, and I'm satisfied with it, and that's enough. It's hard to please everyone; I can't possibly satisfy everyone.
Until the end of the story, she is still that little loach who is useless and timid at home but tough and courageous towards the enemy. I like her very much, that's all.
Xiang Ying - as Beichen's first weapon, he naturally has a special meaning to Beichen. In turn, he also has excessively high demands on himself because of this. This pressure accumulated over time and could not be released, and finally led to such a tragedy at Sylvia's private dinner.
But at the last moment, he understood, which led to his subsequent rebirth. If you lack quality, you make up for it with quantity. He leaped over a thousand levels before catching up with the ninth-level Xiaxue ability. On the one hand, this shows that his basic ability is really not good, but on the other hand, it also shows that he has indeed found a way to overcome his inferiority and found a new way out for himself.
At the end of the story, he became the most confident person in the team, so he finally said to Xiaxue Zhong, "You stepped in with the intention of dying, and I stepped in with the intention of living."
From inferiority to self-confidence - this is Xiang Ying's growth path.
Black Disaster and Su Jie - the description of the twins does not have too many entanglements and dull things. It is the most fun to write about them because they are the atmosphere regulators in the team. Although they have their own worries and entanglements, generally speaking, they will adjust and solve them in a relatively smooth way. If they get into trouble, they will honestly admit their mistakes. They are still two very likable guys - by the way, they are the second most jealous person after Yagard, although sometimes their jealousy is a bit strange.
Although their status in the main storyline is not as important as the others, they are the most favored from the perspective of writing in a light-hearted and cheerful way. XD When I thought about what kind of New Year's greeting card to draw, the first thing that popped into my mind was these two. XDD
Yaye—he has the looks and personality of a vampire, but he's a bad dad. I really like this contrast. While he speaks with a snarky tone, he's actually a thoughtful, caring, and thoughtful big brother, with a strong sense of justice. I really enjoyed his actions described in the extra chapters. Writing about his admonishments and scoldings was a real high (huh?). This strange combination of mature, gentle, and arrogant doesn't seem so strange in Yaye.
Atlas──the meaningless type. I don't know why I like to write this kind of meaningless character. Although he looks a little silly and childish, he can actually be considered the ultimate attacker? Because basically no one can do anything to him XDD... Even Xifeng, who is a sadist, has a headache when he sees his innocent attribute. ──However, although Atlas seems a little unclear, it does not mean that he is mentally immature. In fact, he is just thinking in his way of thinking that belongs to the Moon Messenger. He usually doesn't speak when there are many people around...but when he speaks, it is usually the kind of concluding line that kills with one blow XD
Xifeng—ahem…if I had to describe him in one word, it would be "ghostly," a combination of devilish and tsundere—actually, he wasn't a member of the harem at first, but then, for some reason, so many people liked him, and the more I wrote about him, the more I liked him, so he naturally squeezed out Longyun's position and took the top spot (Longyun:…). Incidentally, although Xifeng was an unyielding sadist in the torture chamber, he was actually quite gentle with Beichen, at most playing with props (hey, why did you bring that up…)
Agard—maybe many people didn't expect him to become a harem member when he first appeared (explosion). Regarding him and Xiaopeng, when I outlined the story, I prepared two paths for the readers to choose from. His was the less popular one—but in the end, he won. As a fan of uncles, I'm very relieved (hey). His past is my favorite part, and when I look back on it, my stepmother blood boils.
Another thing I want to say is that Yagard is not a good person, and I have no intention of whitewashing him. Even without the emotional control system, his behavioral logic still revolves around Beichen rather than social views and moral standards - of course, because Beichen is a good person, he will not do anything out of line, otherwise... ahem.
Gu Yinyue—the normal guy in the team (hey). Mature and reserved, gentle and upright, strict with himself but lenient with others, ambitious, domineering, reliable, in great shape (…), innocent—basically, he's every bit the perfect guy. What? Incompetent at cooking? A serious martial arts fanatic? Uh, flaws are what make him cute! Although his erotic scenes were described by friends as "magical, out-of-this-world erotica," I actually still really like him. Even though he was the last one to start having sex, after all, this amazing kid, Ain, is his son! I still dote on him!
Glenn She - I really like this character! As is my habit of making the cutest character a minor character, he didn't enter the harem. (Beat him to death!)
But it is precisely because of this that I can see how much I like him! Beichen only had her grandmother as a relative since she was a child. After losing her grandmother, she has always had a deep yearning for family affection. So Glen She is very special to her. From the beginning, she was the "only old enemy" to later, and the "only relative" (his nature is different from that of Ain and her other husbands). Glen She will always be the "only one" for Beichen. Conversely, for Glen She, Beichen is also the only one - see, I treat him very well. Although he did not get Beichen's love, he occupied the most special place in her heart hehehe...
Ling Shuang - I put a lot of thought into him. He was the boss from Chapter 7 to the last chapter of the story. He appeared frequently and everyone wanted to kill him. XD
His fate was determined from the beginning, and there was no plan to change it along the way. The final ending was also decided when I was thinking about it, so I felt a sense of relief when I finished writing.
Regarding him, when he rebelled in the middle period and harmed Yagad in the later period, I did not deliberately discredit him, because according to his twisted character, his final path was only this one. And in the last scene with Wanzu, I did not deliberately whitewash him, because he did not change his character, but after paying so much price, he finally learned what is considered "love".
After his extra chapter came out, many people might have felt sorry for him, right? But even the extra chapter written from his perspective shows that he attributes all his unsatisfactory circumstances to external circumstances and others, never considering whether he has done anything wrong. If one person excludes someone, it may be that person's fault, but if everyone excludes them, there is a high probability that it is that person's own fault.
Kasumigure—the first guy to appear is actually a minor character?! I think I heard this a lot during the series, haha. Back then, I said several times that Kasumigure wouldn't be a part of the harem. Maybe by the end of the story, everyone understands what's going on, haha.
His feelings for Theresa are complicated, but indeed very deep. Perhaps with Beichen by his side, he can erase his longing for Theresa, but the reason why Beichen rejected him is also clearly written in the article - he may look domineering, handsome, talented, charming and like a star (in the words of a reader, he is Tom Su XDD), but it is precisely because of this arrogance that he was completely defeated by Xiang Ying.
By the end of the story, having shed his arrogance, he's finally integrated smoothly into the Elysian family and quickly become friendly with everyone. He still occasionally shows off his coolness, but he's no longer indulging in that "I'm a Xiaxue, and I like you, so you're blessed" mentality. By the end of the story, he's probably still living a happy and fulfilling life. While Yin Yue isn't a busty beauty, he's certainly a very good and trustworthy contractor.
Come on! Luck value is negative fifteen times a month (the treatment has been upgraded) Xia blood!
Xiao Ying—as a candidate for the harem who was eliminated, the pressure was quite high. Actually, many people may still have some misunderstandings about him, thinking that his strategic style makes people feel uneasy. Speaking of this, I want to talk about Guo Jia in the history of the Three Kingdoms. Guo Jia was a rare counselor and Cao Cao's most important confidant. He was the epitome of wisdom and loyalty. Xiao Ying is also like this. So my point is that people's intelligence and loyalty are actually two different things. People with blood in their hearts, no matter how smart, will choose a loyal person and obey them to the end. But those who are wavering in their hearts, even if they have little insight, will easily betray.
In other words, despite Xiao Peng's awkward relationship journey, he still achieved great success and fulfillment in his ideals. He currently holds the highest political position in all of Senagard—in other words, the most powerful official. Even Xia Xue, with his influence, has never held any formal or authoritative official position, mostly receiving vague special treatment.
Sumo and Senagade—they existed as bosses, but from their perspective, they had done nothing wrong. Humanity was merely a parasite on Senagade's surface. If they weren't so soft-hearted, if they hadn't harbored hesitation for millennia, there wouldn't even be any apocalyptic prophecy—humanity would have perished long ago. Both Sumo and Senagade left too much room for maneuver when carrying out their sabotage plans. I, at least, can't dislike such bosses, so I managed to arrange a good outcome for them in the end.
What? Senagard is asleep? ...Hmm, does anyone want to see his dual personality after he wakes up? It seems like it would be very confusing...
Longyun and Naraka—the two who were originally chosen for the harem and who were the last to be reincarnated as Road Master A—expressed great resentment. Initially, they were meant to marry along with Yinyue's father, but Longyun's spot was eventually replaced by Xifeng, and Naraka's by Xiaoweiba.
But even so, I still like these two. The elder brother Naraka is always sharp-tongued, sharp-tongued and calm, acting as a buffer and a guide for Longyun's actions. At the same time, he often uses very personal words to wake up those who are confused or give them encouragement. The younger brother Longyun looks carefree and often makes obscene jokes, but his heart is as clear as a mirror. In fact, he sees many things more clearly than anyone else──Then when the atmosphere is very bad, he will come out with a stupid look on his face to ease the atmosphere or change the subject. Both of them are actually very gentle and good men (nods)
They are living a pretty good life now. They have a good master and a lot of good friends. It can be said that they are happy - that's all.
There are many other supporting characters such as Rui Leidis, Galina, Ragnarl, etc., which I will not talk about one by one here, but this does not mean that I don’t like them. It’s just that there is not enough space orz. If there are extra stories in the future, they will still have a lot of roles!
That’s all about the characters.
About the ending:
This is a very happy ending that everyone is happy with.
Although there are still some small regrets, at least we can say that we can feel relieved to see such a result, right?
Many people may feel that the story suddenly becomes fast-paced and heavy after the fourth part, and it seems boring.
That's true. It's because my ability to control stories is not mature enough. When I write my next work, I will probably try harder to control the tension and relaxation.
But then again, when it comes to the main storyline, I was actually suppressing my black personality when I was writing.
There are many places in the story, such as Xiang Ying's death, Ling Shuang's betrayal, Bei Chen's fake death, the interference of consciousness in the illusion, the death of Yagad, and the invasion of Bei Chen's body by the consciousness of the Red Spirit Turret in the final battle, or the accession of Ain -
At any of these points, if I had loosened the shackles of my heart even a little, the story would have been ruined.
If I were to write it according to my black personality, Xiang Ying would not return after her death, Beichen's personality would gradually become distorted due to excessive longing; Lingshuang's rebellion would end in victory, and Beichen would perish with Lingshuang after everyone was dead; Beichen would die completely after being shot through the heart by the Protoss cannon, and those who loved her would throw the entire world into chaos in order to find a way to save her, but in the end they would still not be able to find a way to save her, especially Xifeng, who would go mad and commit suicide miserably; Yagad would not be able to be reborn after his death, and Beichen would never smile all day because of excessive guilt; after being invaded by the Red Spirit turret, he would not be able to defeat the enemy, but his consciousness would eventually be corroded and collapsed by the turret's negative thoughts; and Ain, who inherited Beichen's bloodline, would not necessarily be a capable, gentle, ruthless and courageous wise ruler - he might be an idle, spoiled, and unlearned scoundrel!
Of course, this is just an assumption without any constraints. Imaginary is just an assumption after all, and it is incompatible with the tone of this article.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the invasion of the turret’s consciousness - it is impossible for the turret, whose thinking is still in its infancy, to overcome Beichen’s consciousness resistance that has been baptized by drug addiction.
In other words, although Lingwu didn't intend to write a fairy tale at the beginning, it became a fairy tale in the end.
After all, the ending is too perfect, and basically everyone is happy, which is too unrealistic and idealistic.
But so what.
Perhaps if the article is written according to the above assumptions, it will have more depth and more cruel elements, which may make people mourn. If there is more cruelty and the article is deeper, there may be a chance that it can be ranked among the masterpieces.
But I don’t want to write a masterpiece, I just want to write some fast-food Mary Sue stories that can make people relax and enjoy themselves - or in other words, just write what I want to write.
So that's enough.
Since this article is defined as a stress-relieving YY article, let’s discard those things that are too heavy and dark, so that everyone can still smile knowingly in the end.
I wrote the ending with this feeling in mind, and I felt very relieved when I finished writing.
The story continues. Even if we can no longer see it, at least we can continue to imagine their journey full of laughter and happiness in our hearts.
If this feeling can reach you on the other side of the screen, I will be very happy XD
The last topic has always been very controversial.
About the harem:
This is a sensitive and controversial topic, and I don't want to avoid it here.
Before I wrote Lingwu, I was considered a V1 author. My original intention for deciding to go with the harem route when writing Lingwu was very simple - satisfying my YY cells occasionally is beneficial to relaxing the body and mind. Just like male-oriented stallion stories will always be read by people, female-oriented harem stories also have their market. I am an ordinary person, and I get excited when my brain gets hot (……).
I have to say first that novels are novels and reality is reality. Novels are used to satisfy people's insatiable greed and ambitions. Even if I write that the protagonist has a harem in the novel, it does not mean that I will tolerate any third party thoughts in the real world.
Then, let's get back to the work. ... Actually, it's not that I can't accept a harem setting, regardless of whether the person who opens the harem is male or female, but my requirements are also very demanding.
The most basic thing is that the social outlook of the protagonist allows it.
Then, first of all, that person must be qualified to have a harem.
Secondly that person must pay the price for this greed.
Then since that person has obtained more than others, he should also bear equal responsibilities.
Finally, that person should be prepared to be nice-boated. What is a nice-boat? Well, to put it simply, it can be called a murder of passion.
So when I was writing, I actually wrote according to the above standards - Beichen basically achieved those.
Senagade is originally a polygamous society, which is the most basic.
The people of Senagard are far less exclusive about love than the people on Earth. You should be able to see this, right? XDD
While they may get jealous, they find it inconceivable that someone would choose only one partner and discard the others. This is especially true for warriors, who take it for granted that they and their companions serve a master of the opposite sex. If abandoned, their primary concern is their own incompetence, not personality incompatibility or emotional turmoil. If only one is chosen, the chosen one will feel immense pressure and may even internally blame the master. This is a deeply ingrained belief, honed over nearly ten thousand years, and is virtually impossible to change.
This point is very important. Without this point, I would never write about a harem, because everyone in it would be tortured miserably. I don’t want them to be abused in this regard. If they have to be abused, it would be enough to torture Beichen alone.
Then, as for the qualifications to start a harem──Beichen has basically tried his best to meet the requirements.
The price she paid was that her life was more tiring than others, with greater responsibilities and psychological pressure, and she would never be able to get rid of the guilt in her heart.
As for why she wasn't on the nice boat list... probably because she was really nice to everyone, which doesn't meet the basic conditions for being on the nice boat list XDDD
Having said so much, I am not trying to whitewash harem literature, because I admit that this is just a YY article that is not up to standard XDDD
But this kind of article also has its value, so I can only say sorry here to those who were struck by it. I will definitely have my V1 article (because I have written this kind of article before), and you are welcome to come and read it then XDD
However, it is said that this article has attracted a few people who don’t read harem themes. This is far beyond my imagination. I am very satisfied (rubbing my belly
…
...Yeah, I wrote so much without realizing it?!
Okay, okay, although I still have a lot to say, I'll stop here and continue when I think of something important later (Hey)
I will continue to write about Lingwu's next settings, pictures, mini-theaters, and extras.
At the same time, the serialization of other works by Mingting will be resumed.
Anyway, I would like to say thank you to all the readers who have followed my writing until now!
Without your support, Lingwu would not have been able to be serialized smoothly until now──
Please continue to support me in the new year!
Bow and leave.
