Well, if I write about the Tarot Club directly at the beginning of the next part, and write that everyone is having a normal meeting under the watchful eye of Mr. Fool, except that the World Gehrman Sparrow seems to be wearing a monocle, and Mr. Fool's posture is more leisurely than usual, with his body slightly tilted, his right elbow resting on the armrest, and he pinches his right eye socket from time to time... Will this be drowned by the thrown blades?

Haha, just kidding. No matter how dramatic the twist is, it has to comply with the Basic Law, no, basic logic. With the foreshadowing and clues given in the previous sections, I can't write however I want. You can rest assured about this.

I have actually summarized the main problems of the entire fifth part, which is that for a long time, Xiao Ke was rather confused and lacked sufficient internal motivation, which caused the tension of the plot to gradually decline. After all, it is not the beginning stage, and we can follow Xiao Ke to gradually understand this new world, and there are other things to cultivate and maintain interest. In the middle and late stages of a book, everyone will definitely want to see the development and advancement of the plot, and it must be the kind that makes people look forward to it.

However, when I first started to work on this part of the structure, I considered that this transition should not be too abrupt. After all, after such a huge shock at the end of the fourth part, Xiao Ke must need a lot of time to digest and accept it, and a lot of preparation must be used to slowly find new motivation. You see, there is no need to worry about the plot tension of the next part now.

While writing about Xiao Ke, I also had to take other characters into consideration and describe their growth, their obsessions, and their inner conflicts. As a result, the rhythm was slowed down further. It was like a squid waving its multiple tentacles. From starting to control two or three simple lines, to manipulating seven or eight or even a dozen story lines and character lines, it was really becoming more and more difficult. Moreover, I could not let this affect the story structure of this part, and I could not make it bulky and staggering.

Unfortunately, we have to temporarily suppress the plots of certain characters to prevent the story structure from being unbalanced.

In addition to the problems summarized above, I would like to add two more points. First, it took almost 200 chapters to complete the upgrade. From the perspective of story structure, it was too slow, but from the perspective of actual progress, it was too fast. Although all kinds of foreshadowing made this result seem reasonable, I still think it was too compact. It would be a softer treatment if Xiao Ke took another one to two years to digest the promotion. This point should be paid attention to in the future. This is a problem with the overall story arrangement, which does not leave too much space for jumping timelines.

I finished it too quickly and then too slowly. I don’t know if I have summarized it before. Anyway, I don’t quite remember it. Let me say it again. For many authors, the main function of upgrading is to provide excitement. I am no exception, but I have other understandings of upgrading. This is the tool and measure for me to grasp the rhythm of the plot.

Why is this possible? My understanding is the word "change". When a story of a certain stage lasts for a long time, everyone will be eager for the addition of new things, eager for something different, and do not want it to remain unchanged. At this time, upgrading can naturally provide "change", which is very gentle, and it is not just a simple change of the environment, but also a change of the protagonist himself, from the inside out, both inside and outside.

Therefore, it is not that novels that do not directly contain upgrade elements cannot be written, but there must be nodes of "change". In a sense, this is an internalized, softened upgrade. Just like in some romance novels, the feelings between the male and female protagonists can also be regarded as an upgrade, from less to more, with the addition of elements such as regression, division, and reconciliation.

The second point I want to make is that many plots in the fifth part gradually become detached from the middle and low-level extraordinary people and the social environment. This is an inevitable result of Xiao Ke’s improvement in strength, status and the level of his participation in things. It is also a problem that I hope to find a way to solve, because once there is no environment and no sense of reality, the whole story will have no roots, and only dramatic conflicts will remain. This is also the reason why my previous novels developed faster and faster as they went on. Well, except for martial arts, it is because the repetition is too great and the upgrades bring too few "changes" to the plot.

One of my original intentions for coming up with the sequence system and role-playing method was to allow those in high positions who have been out of touch with society to re-enter this world through role-playing, to give them a life, and to make the world real again.

This point is somewhat reflected due to the main theme of this film, but not too much. I hope it will be strengthened later.

Back to the fifth part, the theme of "Red Priest" represents war. There is not much positive description, but it runs through the whole text and is the main line of the plot. At the same time, the experience in this environment is used to show the feeling of drowning and struggle. Triss is one, Xiao Ke is one, and all the characters who are struggling to hold on in the face of the torrent of the times are all.

I repeatedly emphasized drowning in the previous chapters just to avoid mentioning it in the last dozen chapters. I created that kind of atmosphere and feeling through the story itself. I believe everyone can feel it. When you see Triss say those words and fall into the mausoleum, and Amon puts on a monocle in front of Xiao Ke, the feeling of the struggler finally sinking into the water comes out.

The corresponding character image is also established.

Precisely because such an atmosphere is needed, there are not many dramatic twists and turns in the encounters in this film. In my opinion, being attacked by the enemy, attacked by the enemy, and attacked by the enemy again may not be as gloomy and depressing as the step-by-step foreshadowing of struggling hard, trying to break through, but unable to find the direction.

And because of the problems summarized above, the subscriptions have been falling since the fifth part, with occasional rebounds, but the trend has not changed. It has fallen by almost 10,000. So, I said that the photo was necessary because it solved the problems of endogenous motivation and plot tension. It was a little harder, but the effect was very good and immediate. Since then, the subscriptions have steadily rebounded and recently reached the peak again. The average subscription is now 89,000.

The sixth part is called "Light Chaser", which comes from Sequence 2 of the "Sun" pathway. It was called "Sun Chaser" in ancient times. The specific meaning is the literal meaning, but it symbolizes many people and many things.

This part is very important to me personally. It is the most important part of the overall story structure, the initial completion of the world structure, the opening of the situation, and the key to whether the impact of the plot can be formed. A friend asked me before whether "Secret" has passed the climax of the story and is at the end. I said no, I expected the peak to be in the sixth part.

I'm a little nervous and don't know if I can write it well.

Well, the number of chapters in each of the next three parts will definitely not reach 200. I can’t tell you exactly how many chapters there will be. It may be a little over 100, or 140 or 150, or even less than 100. This is mainly because I cannot foresee how many chapters I can write in the seventh and eighth parts before I finish the sixth part.

I am a scumbag who has no outline or detailed outline, only plot key points, ** pictures, general development, and main structure. So before writing each chapter, I have to think for nearly an hour, sometimes even longer. Well, it’s not that I don’t have an outline or detailed outline. It’s all in my mind, and I update it every day. A friend asked for my outline before, and found out what a hell it is. Except for the world setting, character setting, power setting, and historical chronology, which are very detailed, the outline is often just a decoration, and I basically don’t write according to it.

Well, it's time for the much-anticipated part again. The fifth part is over and I'll have three and a half days to rest. This time, I have to make a more detailed outline for the sixth part. Otherwise, I will just rely on my mental deduction, which will become more and more difficult as time goes on, because there are too many things to consider.

Well, half a day starts from Saturday noon, and the last chapter was updated in advance, that is to say, we will take a half-day break on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, and resume updating at 12:30 noon on Wednesday.

Also, it's the beginning of the month, don't forget to buy your monthly pass, it will give me the motivation to write the sixth part~

I will provide the extra chapter for the No. 1 monthly ticket winner in November at the critical moment of the plot!

Please give me a monthly ticket. Please give me a monthly ticket. I'll say it three times because it's important.
