For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King ~

   Conclusion at the end of the volume

The name of this volume is "The Burial of Crows", but in fact, I would like to name this volume "If the story has only one final goal, where will the plot develop", which is more in line with the theme of this volume. Create a mental journey, but also more light novels.

   As I said before, this book was actually prepared very hastily. In addition to a general structure and a relatively complete world view, many of the plots were made up on the spot. Before I started writing this volume, except for a few fragments (the times have changed) and several major reversals (the identity of the father of the crows), there was basically no specific idea, and most of the time I held it myself. His head slammed against the wall, forcing himself to write it.

It was as if I stood at a starting point, and then saw the mountains in the distance. Although I knew where I was going, the whole way was unknown. There were neither road signs nor reminders. Sometimes I walked As I walked, I found myself even further away from the finish line...it was a nightmarish experience.

   Before, I joked with a few writer friends that the pressure of updating every day is like someone putting a gun on the head of a delinquent boy who dropped out of school and asking him to solve an advanced math problem. Many times I would think that if I had more time to prepare, I would never be in this embarrassed state. But on second thought, what have you been doing all these years before? I can only say that many times I don't know what I'm really facing if I don't go to the execution ground. Fortunately, when I was writing this book, I did find many of my own problems, especially the preparatory work.

   These points I will try to solve in the next book.

And this has also led to many times, when I look at what I have written, I will keep frowning - what the **** is this written, but when the update time limit is up, it should be uploaded or uploaded, which will make I have a sense of shame that I am cheating money. Alas, I can only hope that what I write in the future can be more worthy of everyone's support.

   Speaking of the plot, in fact, in the original conception, the first and second volumes should be a complete story. At the beginning of the design, Coles and Black were mixed with the feeling of "Swordsman" and "Devil City". After the two completely parted ways, one person became a god-like existence, immortal; the other person continued to fight in a mortal way. Even if he died, he also left behind his own spirit, belief, inheritance, The bloodline continued to fight.

Well, more like the thousand-year feud between Dracula and the Belmont family, every few years the Jackdaw wakes up to do something, and then the inheritor of the dark swordsman will come over and press it back into the coffin, and then go through it again. Dozens or hundreds of years to perform it again, never get tired of it. It was not until the arrival of the protagonist that this cycle was completely broken.

   and the reason for not writing it is very simple, my level is not enough. I couldn't keep the story interesting and easy to read with so much information and so many characters.

The three-line narrative of the first volume was finally condensed, which made the rhythm unbearably slow. If the two lines of the dark swordsman and the jackdaw were added, my god... I guess everyone can't wait to see the end of this volume. The conclusion is abandoned.

But unfortunately, in this way, as I originally expected, Blake had already died but his spirit would live on, and Cass, the inheritor of the dark swordsman, faced the gods with a mortal body. The tension and appeal have been weakened a lot, making the theme of the story less profound.

   But there is no way, this is a necessary sacrifice to make the story smoother. I believe that there are definitely many powerful writers who can take into account these two points and tell the story well, but I absolutely cannot do it now. So instead of trying to master themes and structures that you can't control, it's better to explain a simple story within your existing capabilities.

  A good story, at least the core of a good business story is the reversal. So when the previous plan was repealed, I envisioned this reversal of the true identity of the Father of Crows. In fact, the best time for the identity of the father of the crows to be revealed should be in the final battle of the second volume. When the protagonist arrives at Black Crow View, he sees the wreckage of Blake sitting on the throne of the Beacon of Hope. Let the suspense and emotion climax at the same time.

   But unfortunately, at this point I'm nowhere near as good as the last volume.

  Because the reversal should be a small but powerful enough point that can overturn the reader's previous presupposition in an instant, but not confuse the reader, the real object of Wang Kou's transformation similar to the Duke's choice in the last volume is actually Hades. Such a design can be regarded as unexpected and reasonable. However, on the big reversal in this volume, I tried to break my head and couldn't think of such a perfect point to complete the reversal. Although it is still possible to write like this, the final effect may only make readers feel like Be fooled, or feel like the main character is a fool.

Therefore, I chose to reveal the biggest reversal in the middle of the second volume, and the reversal left for the final climax was something that everyone expected - the protagonist did not choose to become the king of nothing but resurrected Black. .

   As mentioned earlier, this is a necessary sacrifice, and it is also an expedient measure for one's own lack of skill. Maybe in the future, I will be able to do this when my plot design ability and writing skills are stronger, but for now, I am still more willing to choose a more secure plan.

  Finally, let's complain and complain in a few words.

Compared with the structure of the first volume and the three lines simultaneously advancing the final bandha, in the second volume I put more perspective on the protagonist, and this also made me feel extremely huge pressure, it can be said that I am stuck. The reason for Wen Wucheng comes from this.

   In my opinion, the best thing about "overlord" is the first season, and the novel is also the content of the first three or four volumes. In addition to the fact that the human nature of the old bones was still preserved at that time, and the position of the black hero has not yet been transformed into the villain, the more important point is that the perspective has always been placed on the protagonist.

So when I was writing this book, I felt that I should make up for the two regrets I had when I watched "Overlord", but when I actually wrote it, I realized that it was too difficult, or why do some people say that the invincible flow/powerful flow is difficult to write Probably for this reason.

If the protagonist is too strong or too omnipotent, it will be difficult for you to set external difficulties for the protagonist. Generally, there are only three ways to deal with this. One is to dig deep into the inner conflicts of the characters; the other is to create social conflicts that cannot be solved by force; It's more of a supporting role.

   In fact, these three processing methods are basically used together.

   Similar to "overlord", the protagonist enters the body of a big person with the mentality of a small person, and the contradiction brought by this is a line. Or like in "One Punch Man", Mr. Saitama was questioned and abused by him for protecting the citizens. It is a social conflict that cannot be resolved by force, and almost all similar works will have a large number of plots with a supporting role as the main point of view.

  Volume 2 I actually just want to try it out, how far can I go without these three methods.

  Because in the first place, William had no problem with his mentality-probably because he had a spiritual resonance with his game character and inherited the character's six-dimensional attributes. He had a clear goal and firm will. Second, at the level of social issues, it is not easy to grasp the degree of control. If you write shallowly, it will be too playful, and if you write too deeply, it will be too boring. Moreover, this is a different world where the underlying rules are different from reality. Many things will appear to you if you directly apply them to the past. Ridiculous.

  Then the conclusion is that it is too painful to write, and the development of the plot will go straight all the way like riding a rocket.

  It hurts, it hurts too much.

   As you can see, in order to set up difficulties, I pulled out the theoretical final boss and pressed the protagonist.

   Of course, it's still the same sentence, it's all a matter of the author's ability. There must be authors who can handle these points, but I really can't and can only say that I did my best.

   Therefore, I will admit to the story of the next volume. Although I will try to focus on the protagonist, the structure may be closer to the first volume.

   So, compared to the stormy unfolding of the second volume, this volume will probably be a lighthearted, healing, and slightly slower-paced story.

   I hope to be close to the texture of a fairy tale, but of course this is unlikely to be possible.

   Let's take a look at the scenery of Avazhou, family.jpg

   Finally, it is the topic of "invincible flow" that is often talked about.

   I was wrong, no quibble, I removed the label of "Invincible Stream" later and replaced it with a strong streamer.

   There is a feeling of breaking into the Guandongli Hotel and picking up the brand by yourself, woo woo woo...

   But whether it is invincible or strong, it is difficult to write.

   Sure enough, the second dimension is more suitable for me.
