Crown of Chaos

This concludes the first volume. Here is a summary of some gains and losses regarding the first volume.

The book Crown of Chaos has been a commercial work from the beginning. As an author, this choice is actually very normal. That is, everyone came here because of interest at the beginning, but after they can make money, They have all turned into ruthless programmers, immersed in coding just for the sake of mass-producing cool articles.

There were many designs at the beginning of this book, but after discussions with the editor and book friends Gudazi and A Bad Clam, they were abandoned one after another. Finally, I chose a more satisfactory one, which I am relatively good at. Some starts.

Of course, it is unavoidable that there is still some oscillation on the general line, that is, whether to follow a light-hearted and funny show-off style or a serious and serious narrative style. This emperor has never thought particularly clearly about this, which also leads to the failure of the writing style. Somewhat repeated.

Let me talk about some key points in the first volume that I am not satisfied with.

The main content of the first volume is actually not too much. The most important thing is to introduce the structure of Cormyr's kingdom, the aristocracy, the daily life of the protagonist's family, interpersonal relationships, as well as the path the protagonist wants to take, and his personal views. change.

I think these contents are quite well written, and generally the whole outline is outlined.

The protagonist's mind goes through a transformation process after awakening. When he first awakened, he was scared, scared, helpless and helpless. Only after receiving Su Lun's treatment did he gain hope of life. This is the first time. stage.

Then during the whole process of getting along with the pastor lady and returning home to face his family, his mood also changed to full of fighting spirit. This is the second stage.

But if you look carefully, after being full of fighting spirit, the protagonist is quickly hit by reality. The Forgotten Kingdom is actually a place filled with monsters, ghosts, and snakes. The Four Gods of Chaos are indeed very strong, but they cannot be called absolutely invincible, especially After the protagonist discovered that he needed to keep licking the dermatitis of the four gods to unlock his powers, he was a little confused and had all sorts of small fights.

In these three stages, the protagonist is actually being pushed around. He is talking about what he wants to do, but in fact he is relatively passive, has low strength, is confused, and he himself does not know much about becoming a god. , so it will appear relatively scattered for a short period of time.

Until the avatar of Slaanesh was summoned to defeat the avatar of Cthulhu, the protagonist finally reached the fourth stage.

Life is endless and progress is endless.

This ambition is to chase the stars!

Here I would also like to talk about some parts of the first volume that I was not very satisfied with.

First, the conflict between the protagonist and Disma in Chapters 30-31 was not well written, which led to the subsequent cutting off of the adventure plot and changing it to recruit training. Therefore, some parts of the recruit training plot are meaningless, and some parts are only available in the second volume. The person who was going to appear appeared at this time but had few lines, and the structure was not well arranged.

Second, some of the dialogues are too long-winded and cumbersome, and some of the places that should be written are relatively brief and not explained enough.

Third, the subject of DND can be said to be a poorly written subject at the beginning, and the subject of Warhammer was still new when I wrote my last book, so readers’ attitudes were also very different. Many people said that this book The quality is not as good as the previous one.

But the first order for Warhammer is only 300, while the first order for this book is 1,300.

The Warhammer book has more than one million words written, and the average subscription volume barely exceeds 1,000. In many cases, if something is good, it will be a hit.

I recently read a historical text that was so addicting that it was all anti-common sense, anti-history, and anti-chronological. When I saw the results, it was great.

The reason is that Warhammer was a new subject at the time. Whether it is introducing the background setting or explaining some basic systems, readers will have a fresh and interesting feeling. However, everyone has seen DND to death, so naturally it feels long-winded and can't read anything. I feel verbose.

Fourth, the final battle with the warlock and the battle with the incarnation of Cthulhu were not written enough to release. I probably only wrote 30% of the emotions I wanted to release. I wanted to write more and be more relaxed, but there was An old book friend of mine of several years advised me not to push the battle to such a high level so early. I think it’s right. It’s enough to just try it briefly, and worry about not having an epic showdown later?

Fifth, the sense of adventure is not enough. This content will be added in the second volume, because the protagonist in the first volume is really weak... I can’t go to the advanced area, and I can’t defeat decent wild monsters. How can I explore ruins, ruins, holy places, etc. Caves, and even various demiplanes and outer worlds?

It can't be like some novels where the protagonist has 50 chapters of legend, 80 chapters of becoming a god, and 100 chapters of fighting ancient evil creatures, right?

This is why only the Power of Slaanesh can start the game, because if all four powers were unlocked in the first few chapters, the book would be less than 1 million words long.

In short, if you can see this, I would like to thank you for this. Oh my, Red Bean Paste has been updated a lot this month. I wrote 140,000 words in 21 days. I have never been so crazy before, and I should be able to slow down a bit in the future.

Announce here that I will take a day off tomorrow.

You need to take a good look at the plot, because in the first volume, most of the characters who appear and the most scenes are in the second volume. This is also the volume where the protagonist really starts to become famous in Cormyr and even the northern countries.

He is also going to start trying to secure a land for himself. How can he do research on chaos without a whole piece of land?

So, look forward to the story of the second volume.
