I started updating this book last September and finished it this February. I never expected it to take almost half a year. It wasn't easy. This is also the first novel I've ever finished writing.
To be honest, I don't know what to say at this point, so I'll just chat casually.
Let's start by talking about what we've learned.
This book was actually quite rewarding. It was the first time I had ever written a complete book, and it was also the first time I had experienced the entire book-writing process.
Don't think that writing the beginning is the same as writing the ending.
If the beginning is an outpouring of emotions and worldview, then the ending is a convergence of those emotions and worldview.
No matter how grand the stage or how magnificent the worldview of the entire book is, in the end, the emotions must converge in one corner of the stage and then explode all at once.
To be honest, it's really troublesome.
Writing the ending is a million times more troublesome than writing the beginning!
As for the ending I wrote... well, I can only say it's pretty much right, and I'm satisfied with it myself.
...
Then there are the shortcomings.
The biggest problem, and the most common problem for novice authors, is that the plot is not explored in enough depth.
If you remember, this book has a storyline about the "Gold Rush".
It describes how, after Fagga killed the Dead End Butcher in the Dead End Cave, a large safe area was created in the Dead End Cave, allowing the cave raiders to safely retrieve artifacts from the old civilization and exchange them for money.
This was originally a story that could have been featured in great detail.
To be conservative, this could be a good place to further deepen the bond between Ellen and Fagga.
A radical take: This could further develop the character of Fagga as "Capital Gagga," making the character more well-rounded.
However, I glossed over it at the time...
Aa ...
I missed out on a fortune!!!
The next question is a logical one.
This problem is mainly reflected in Jane.
Do you all remember Fagga's confession near chapter 111?
I forgot to handle the simplified version at the end of this chapter.
She simply vanished without a trace.
Yes, it wasn't intentional.
I forgot!
Although it wasn't intentional, the objective result is that a subplot is inexplicably missing from the storyline.
Although it doesn't affect the main storyline, there are indeed logical problems.
Well... how should I put it? Actually, this issue can be big or small.
Because I've seen many novelists say that novels don't follow logic.
Well...
Very suspicious.
Then I asked the experts.
The expert said that the emotional buildup was sufficient, and readers could convince themselves not to care about the logic.
hiss....
A sudden enlightenment!
I suspect the reason so few people left question marks in the comments was probably because it was a minor emotional high point.
Then all the handsome and domineering readers went straight to the plot development, simply waving their hands and not caring at all.
The third issue concerns writing style, writing strength, and rhythm.
To be honest, I don't consider myself a good writer.
This really requires talent. Even though I tried to learn it deliberately later, I always felt like I was trying to imitate someone from Handan, and I could never quite grasp the essentials.
If nothing unexpected happens, I estimate I'll never reach the level of the Grand Eunuch in my lifetime.
Hey!
But there's still one person who can learn!
That's the famous Heavenly Silkworm Water Bean... oops, I mean, Teacher Potato!
I've read all of his novels; I started reading them when I was in elementary school.
Before I knew it, we were already in college.
To be honest, although his writing style and skill are quite good, they haven't reached a level that I can hardly match.
I believe that with consistent and long-term writing, I should be able to reach his level.
Uh... I've gone off on a tangent.
