Chapter 44 A summary for Yanzu and Yifei

As May came to an end, I was thinking about what I should write.

Many friends told me that it would be safest to continue writing urban novels, because I still have some popularity in this category.

But in fact, that was the choice I resisted the most.

I have been writing about urban life for many years, and now I have reached my personal ceiling. I think if I continue writing, I won’t make any progress.

Because I gave all my enthusiasm to Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu, and also exhausted all my efforts.

Writing another book is just rehashing old stuff, continuing to exploit them, consuming the people and things that everyone likes.

But in my heart, those stories belong to Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu, and I don’t want to attribute them to other characters.

After all, Feng Nanshu had such a huge influence on me that even after finishing the book, I still couldn't forget her.

I know that if I write a similar story, in a similar worldview, her shadow will still be in my heart.

I don’t want to repeat a similar story again. I don’t want to stay in my comfort zone until I become outdated and slowly forgotten by everyone.

So, I chose another category, Xianxia.

In fact, I write fantasy novels not for the sake of copyright or for greater profits as everyone thinks. Ultimately, I want to seek a breakthrough.

I want to try multiple perspectives, no longer limiting the story to the protagonist, but adding another line that is independent of the main perspective.

To put it bluntly, when I was writing this book, I always felt that the world seemed to move only when Jiang Qin was moving, and if he didn't move, the world would be still.

I was just thinking, can I write a story where when the protagonist is moving, the world is actually moving as well?

Some things may not happen because of the protagonist, but in fact all things are in operation, and finally converge into a huge thread, pointing to an ultimate goal.

The reason why I have this idea is actually because I discovered my shortcomings in the previous book.

I'm not very good at dealing with multiple perspectives.

For example, in the previous book, I designed the story of Master Cao and Ding Xue to be quite sweet, but because I was always writing from the perspective of the protagonist, their story could not be smoothly integrated into the main plot and finally had to be put into the side story.

And there is Zhuang Chen. I have always wanted to give him an ending for the main storyline, but I didn’t include it.

The plot about the unsale of fruits in Zhang Guangfa's home was also briefly mentioned.

I found that I seemed to only be able to write stories about the protagonist, and this made me panic.

So I know that I am still very young and not yet there, and I need to continue practicing.

I decided to force myself to do something every week that I originally had no interest in, just like I did when I just graduated.

So I chose Xianxia.

Writing this book was very difficult. I was so dissatisfied with myself that I might have written a chapter three times. Now there are tens of thousands of waste drafts in my draft box.

When I wrote the section about Kuang Cheng High School, some readers said that it was impossible to get the result overnight. In fact, it was because I deleted three photos of the protagonist working outside, but forgot to change the time.

Also, at the beginning, Lao Qiu originally had a monologue where he knelt down and begged for mercy, in order to highlight the contrast between life and death, but I deleted it in the end.

In fact, I have been constantly revising the previous article until today.

Before I started writing this book, I didn’t think about what kind of achievements I would want to achieve, nor did I think it would be as popular as my previous book.

But it's important to me.

Because I am torturing myself and looking for a different path.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

I have said in an interview before that I am not a talented person. I have been writing for ten years, and I have failed for six of them.

So all I can do is to start early and write about what I am not good at, let these things expose my shortcomings, and then correct them.

Writing books is my job. I don’t have any other job or any other identity, so I have no way out.

So I cherish every book I have and every opportunity I have.

I don't want the new era ship to leave me behind.

So no matter what the results are, I will continue to write well.

Because I know that what doesn't kill me will make me stronger.

This is a response to everyone's confusion about my change of category, a brief summary of the current storyline, and also to thank everyone for their support.

Finally, as always, I ask for monthly tickets and follow-up reading. For Laocuo, who is currently in the new book period, these data are still very important...or2 (End of this chapter)
