The Righteous Player(s): A very long summary at the end of the paper

Chapter 475, nine months of updates - the second volume of this book [The Book of Heavenly Cars] is finally over.

This also marks that the player's book has officially reached two-thirds.

As Annan breaks through his six mirrors in turn and finds the light in the mirror, the real light of the sky is about to hatch——

To put it simply, Annan should complete the sublimation ceremony in the next volume.

As a little teaser, the third volume should be slightly shorter than the second volume. In other words, if I start writing it in mid-March, I should be able to finish it before the Spring Festival.

The next book has already taken shape, and friends have given it a thumbs up (thumbs up)

However, after finishing writing this book, Ah Mao will definitely not publish the new book immediately. Instead, he will take a short break, adjust his work and rest, and exercise (probably it will be difficult to save the manuscript). But it will certainly not be later than the end of March next year.

This book still has the last nine months - maybe less, maybe a little more, it mainly depends on whether there is a sudden inspiration, which makes me suddenly feel that a certain nightmare is so awesome that I have to write it even if it is a little extra.

If you encounter this situation, it is inevitable to add a small section.

After all, you must also like to watch it (sincerely).

The main stage of the next volume is the United Kingdom and the Theocracy, as well as a small amount of otherworldly plots.

By the way, yesterday I saw someone saying that this book is relatively bland... and that's natural.

Because the original positioning of this book (or all of Qi Miaomiao's original world view works) was based on the concept of "a travelogue of a magical world". All my books so far are based on the style of "setting" as the main axis and "short story" as the flesh and blood, rationalizing and logicalizing a novel world view.

Compared to Mercury Blood, which was quite blunt back then, now I have mastered the skill of inserting plot into the setting process...

The specific reason for using this way of writing is that Ah Mao is very powerful - when I was reading the book, I felt that the ups and downs of the climax, if you can't finish it in one breath, you have to stop it. For a few days, it was extremely uncomfortable to be neither up nor down...

But I believe that I should not be able to update (akimbo).

And the subjects of my books are all types that cannot be updated. If you accidentally explode too many, some strange bugs may appear.

Of course, this can also be regarded as a kind of self-pleasure, not so market-oriented.

However, after focusing on writing self-pleasure articles for six or seven years, I can still write well and make money, so I think there is no problem in continuing this self-pleasure road.

When readers are tired of the same old fish and meat, they will come back and take a bite of a cucumber with a novel flavor. Occasionally, they will feel refreshed.

On another note, I still remember that some readers often mentioned why there are so few plots about players.

Part of the reason has already been mentioned in my remarks during the first volume - if the player has too many plots, it will be very easy to collapse. In that case, the essence is actually a funny article, and Ah Mao's character is too serious. I really want to write that kind of article but I can't...

About four or five months before this book was published, when I had a dinner with other authors, the definition of the player element in this book was "adjustment." The Mist Continent is actually similar to Mercury's Farnes World in a desperate style. If the players are removed, the plot can indeed be made smoother - or more exciting, but the readability will undoubtedly be reduced a lot.

The role of the player in this book is to pull the readers out when they are about to sink into this world.

This is a technique I heard from Uncle Shu when I was chatting with him before - how to tell a tragedy calmly without making readers sad?

The answer is to maintain stage distance. This allows readers to always be aware that "that is a story far away from them" without being immersed in it.

If it is a tragedy that is too close to home, such as a tragedy that happens around oneself and in which relatives and friends play the leading roles, it will make people feel heartbroken and sad. Dramas about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, where the parents are short-lived, actually use this effect to "grasp the heart."

But I don’t really like the kind of plot that makes people feel sad after watching it.

Storytelling, singing and opera are ways of persuading people. I started by typing the first word, and that was the philosophy. Even if you don't understand any profound truth when reading the book, when you think about it, you can still "seem to understand something" in a flash.

The heavy and solemn tragedy does have its artistic value, and it is very high. However, when the readers opened this book with the attitude of "I want to read it for a relaxing and enjoyable time", they were overwhelmed by the heavy despair. Angry - I think this is also a kind of fraud.

So, the reading experience must be taken into consideration.

When I was in the mercury period, I really liked hair scissors. But the more I write, the more constrained I become, and I don’t dare to use the sword. This is exactly the reason.

There are some characters that I originally wanted to kill ~IndoMTL.com~ but considering the reading experience and the readers’ accumulated feelings for the characters, I couldn’t bear to do it. In the end, we could only create a new plot to make him invisible - which somewhat saved a life.

A strange metaphor... It's like beating a pet to death in front of its owner. I think that when an important character that the reader "loves" from the bottom of his heart is killed, the psychological impact that the reader feels is probably similar to this level.

He is heavier than a device, but lighter than a person. But he will be remembered after all.

Maybe it’s the remaining tenderness in Maomao’s heart...

Finally, there have been a lot of people asking this question in the past few days. Here I would like to reiterate the fandom attitude of this book - the attitude is welcome!

After all, I am also a fan myself. Whether it is fan art or fan fiction, as long as it does not violate relevant laws and regulations, it is welcome here. As long as it is not for commercial profit and the source is clearly stated, there is no need to specifically ask for my opinion. Asking is welcome.

After the player's book is completed, if someone wants to write a fanfic directly using the player's worldview and put it on the shelves at the starting point, I won't mind as long as the source is indicated. The reason why I want to finish this book is because I don’t want to explain the settings that haven’t been released yet, but I also don’t want to see you slapped in the face by me...

It’s time to code. Finally, the closing words of this volume.

The appearance of [The Book of Heavenly Cars] marks the opening of the door to the light world again.

The next and last volume is, [The Expedition to Seize the Sky].
