Entertainment: My knife has made the whole world sad.

Chapter 286: Is mystery novel so easy to write?

The reason why is complicated.

The reason is that this is indeed a very good work, but it falls short of the expectations of many suspense fans.

The murderer was announced in Chapter 7.

Nearly half of the remaining space is used to tell the story.

This is indeed the writing method that the old thief is best at. It avoids the most difficult inference writing and uses strengths to avoid weaknesses.

"The old thief is still the same old thief. The familiar writing pattern is that not all bad guys are good, and not all good guys are good."

"I finished reading it in one afternoon...I still have so much to enjoy."

"I have to say that Sherlock Holmes is indeed very charming. Even if there is not much plot, he can portray these images in such an attractive manner through his words and deeds! It's really awesome!"

"But one thing I have to say is that I feel that "Sherlock Holmes" cannot continue to be as popular as "Harry Potter". What everyone likes to watch is still case reasoning. Hey, whether it is "A Study in Scarlet" or Peacock's " "Housekeeper" is missing a bit of flavor..."

Being rejected several times shows that this work is not an amazing work.

And this "A Study in Scarlet" is not immature from the plot to the writing, and it perfectly portrays the images of Holmes and Watson, which is a great foreshadowing.

"I have to say that some readers are right. The old thief's shortcomings in this kind of logical conception are still quite obvious. Although "A Study in Scarlet" has an exquisite design, it still lacks some flavor..."

Many readers have always had high expectations for Lao Thief, hoping that Lao Thief can present another masterpiece in the series, just like before, but Lao Thief's shortcomings...

Before the release of "Sherlock Holmes", many readers thought that the old thief had shortcomings in this area and anticipated such a situation, but it was just a blind cat encountering a dead mouse...

The following plot will definitely reverse the criticism and become a masterpiece.

Lin Qiu got off the plane, adjusted for the time difference, and when she woke up from the hotel bed, she happened to catch up with the heated discussion about "Sherlock Holmes" in Xiazhou.

"It's different. "Clannad" is a coherent work, and "Sherlock Holmes" is a series of works. In my opinion, this first one just doesn't reach the level of a top mystery writer."

It's really miraculous that the old thief can reverse the criticism every time.

Xizhou.

But suspense mystery works...

……

The Xiazhou audience has very high expectations for Lao Thief.

Because it is difficult for old thieves to write literal inferences, this inference has now almost become a "consensus"!

"A Study in Scarlet" is certainly not a failure, but this time the entire Xiazhou and Yingzhou suspense reasoning circles have been shocked. Without comparison, there would be no debate!

Judging from the ratings on Book, "A Study in Scarlet" only has a score of 9.1, while Peacock's "The Housekeeper" has a score of 9.5!

This should be the first author to defeat the old thief in his work!

This made many of Peacock's reasoning fans ecstatic. They proudly shared many of Peacock's works on major forums and even gave Peacock a higher title.

Lin Qiu was not surprised by this kind of criticism and public opinion.

……

"Don't worry yet! When has the old thief ever let us down? Have you forgotten the first and second seasons of "Clannad"?"

Now, for this new work, readers also have the filter of old thieves.

But Li Liyue herself felt that these old thieves' readers were a little too crazy...

Although I am extremely reluctant to do a story similar to that of pretending to be a slap in the face...

It was not Lin Qiu's intention, but who could he ask to reason with?

Why the reputation of the old thief is so shocking now has something to do with this reason. The matter of "reversal" is an extremely passionate existence in any industry, and is even accompanied by the adjective "miracle".

"Old thief! You have forgotten your identity! You are a code-writing tentacle monster! After half a year, you are using a mere hundred thousand words to deal with us?"

But Li Liyue is not sure whether the second part of "Sherlock Holmes" by the old thief can meet the high expectations of readers.

This time is different from the previous ones, that’s why the scale is so big.

This is not the type that can advance by leaps and bounds...

The first "Sherlock Holmes" was released in the morning, and by noon, the first batch of readers who had finished reading it all gave their own reviews on the Internet.

"A Study in Scarlet" is Conan Doyle's first detective novel. It was rejected several times before it was published. Fortunately, Conan Doyle persisted, otherwise there would not have been the wonderful works that followed.

"The second one should be the really key one."

"I feel that Watson plays the role of the reader. He does not advance the plot in the story, but simply looks up to Holmes from the reader's perspective. Therefore, the creation of the rigorous, mean, and cold image of Holmes is inseparable from Watson. I feel that many authors Everyone can learn from the old thieves’ writing style.”

To say disappointed, someone must be disappointed.

Li Liyue thought this way.

""Four Signatures" is the real beginning."

When future generations watch this work, they will use the filter of the entire "Sherlock Holmes" novel.

Because Lao Zei's works, even if they start off slow, never disappoint.

……

But sometimes it feels like you can't help it. Whether it's "Demon Slayer", "Clannad" or the "Sherlock Holmes" series, it's all a situation of suppressing first and then improving. The previous plot will definitely be criticized.

As for those that are more or less comparable, it won’t be too late to comment until the entire “Sherlock Holmes” series is released.

"Don't worry."

"There is definitely no problem with the old thief's writing ability, but this "A Study in Scarlet" really didn't meet the readers' expectations. If I were to give it a score, it would probably be a work with a score of 9 to 9.2, which is not as good as Peacock's. That ‘The Housekeeper’.”

In Li Liyue's view, "A Study in Scarlet" must be qualified as the opening work. Even the first part of her series "Lady Jeanne" was quite immature.

But readers in Xizhou and Yingzhou are far less demanding.

As soon as the first "Sherlock Holmes" came out, it immediately became a best-seller, continuing the magic of the "Harry Potter" series.

And the image of Sherlock Holmes completely spread on the Internet in just a few days.

Although the plot of "A Study in Scarlet" is not that amazing, the details are really amazing.

The most interesting thing worth mentioning is Sherlock Holmes’ amazing detective ability, a talent that constantly amazes readers and Watson!

At first, Watson scoffed at Holmes' various theories and raised various doubts, hoping to make Sherlock look embarrassed. Unexpectedly, he was impressed by Holmes' rigorous reasoning and extremely keen insight.

The breadth of knowledge possessed by one man is like a walking team of crime scene forensics and forensic experts from the 19th century. It’s so awesome!

The second half depicts a man's journey of revenge for love that breaks through all difficulties and spans decades. From a young man until his death with a head full of gray hair, it can be said that he spent his whole life.

Such a plot can make readers in these states empathize. The only drawback…

“It’s just too short!!”

"Hey! I wonder when the second part of "Sherlock Holmes" will be released!"

……

The Book score of 9.1 points shows that there are still many readers who like this book very much!

Whether it’s the expectation, trust, or simply feeling that this work is awesome, I’m currently looking at Xianque Academy and the old thief, and the meaning in my eyes is:

"When are you going to release the second part?"

"'Harry Potter' has to wait seven, seven and forty-nine days. 'Sherlock Holmes' can't be left behind, right?"

"No! "Sherlock Holmes" is shorter than "Harry Potter", it should be faster!"

Regarding the release plan of "Sherlock Holmes", Lin Qiu and Qin Chuan, CEO of Xianque, have already made plans.

The public opinion of the first part was completely in line with Lin Qiu's expectations.

Qin Chuan waved his hand, and as soon as the trailer for the second part appeared, the entire Kyushu novel world was excited! !

["Sherlock Holmes I - A Study in Scarlet" is now on sale! 】

[Elegant detective, exquisite reasoning, and a plot full of mysteries. Follow Sherlock Holmes on the foggy streets of London to appreciate his super wisdom hidden behind his pipe and magnifying glass. 】

【Not enough? It doesn't matter! The story has just begun. 】

["Sherlock Holmes II - The Signature of Four" will not be released after 49 days this time, but 21 days later, it will be officially released on June 6th! ! 】

……

September……

6th? !

When the news of the new book preview was announced simultaneously in Kyushu, readers across Kyushu were excited!

Originally, "Harry Potter" was released after 49 days. The speed is like a miracle in the novel world. This "Sherlock Holmes" still continues the writing speed of the "Harry Potter" period, with one release every three weeks!

【Fuck! 666666! He is indeed an old thief of tentacle monsters! Prolific as always! 】

【just began? Looking forward to the second part of Sherlock Holmes! ! 】

[There is no use in being prolific in mystery novels. Quality far outweighs quantity. It needs to be rigorously conceived. Anyway, I’m not very optimistic about it. The first one was pretty average...]

[As I said again, don’t worry if you question the old thief. After all the works are released, it really won’t work. You can kill or chop him as you like. We old thief book fans were the first to rush at him, but we haven’t seen the whole story, no. Leave a comment! Believe the old thief! 】

[It is only at this time that I feel that the old thief is a good thief. There are really not many authors with such high prolific output. Don’t forget that the old thief is still updating online articles, although the updates are slower than a turtle...]

[This "Sherlock Holmes" is really crucial. If it can still create miracles, I guess the old thief will become a god directly! 】

[Every time the old thief publishes a book, I always have a lot of doubts, and they are all reasonable, but when the work ends, I will be slapped in the face every time...]

In addition to the enthusiastic response from readers, these readers also discovered a detail.

That is, on the picture accompanying the second trailer, there are five books, and the one at the front is the cover of the second "Four Signatures".

This should mean that there are five parts in the "Sherlock Holmes" series!

……

Xianque CEO office.

Qin Chuan sighed and said helplessly:

"There are obviously ten works, but they say there are only five."

"This Lin Qiu..."

"So inhuman..."

Qin Chuan should be the only person in the entire world who knows that there are ten "Sherlock Holmes" films, not five.

The other two people are Lin Qiu and Tang Anning.

According to Lin Qiu's idea, the previous five films can be released one every three weeks.

After the release of the fifth "Memoirs", there will be a period of "completion period".

Because in the "Final Case" of "Memoirs", Holmes falls into the abyss...

Died.

Qin Chuan didn't know how much impact the death of Holmes would have. He just felt that Lin Qiu's bad taste had struck again.

But Lin Qiu knew that once Sherlock Holmes spreads throughout Kyushu, the sensation it would cause would be even more exaggerated than "Harry Potter"!

The defense-breaking value accumulated by the plot of "Death of Sherlock Holmes" should be no worse than tear-jerking works such as "Suyuan" and "The Furnace". This is the purest defense-breaking...

After "A Study in Scarlet" and "The Sign of Four", there are "A History of Adventures (Part 1)" and "A History of Adventures (Part 2)". These two books record many classic stories, such as "A Scandal in Bohemia" and "A History of Adventures" (Part 2). "The Red-Headed Society", "The Mystery of Boscombe Glen" and so on.

The fifth "Memoirs", the most critical one is definitely the "Last Case".

From the reader's perspective, this is the final work.

Lin Qiu thought about it carefully, why don't she just let Sherlock Holmes stay here? After all, the defense value must be broken when redeeming the next five. There is not much gain in defense value, but now the defense value is sufficient, plus the next five They are still classics, but Lin Qiu really can't bear to let them fall into the dust due to his own personal reasons.

This includes extremely classic stories such as the sixth film "The Hound of the Baskervilles" and the eighth film "The Uncanny Valley".

When the entire ten books are added together, the number of words in the "Sherlock Holmes" series is not very large, far less than the number of words in the "Harry Potter" series, so it is actually not troublesome for Lin Qiu.

One to two million words, 2 hours of coding every day. With Lin Qiu's current typing speed, he can easily finish it during the Spring Festival holiday.

……

"Are mystery novels so easy to write?"

Yingzhou.

Nagoya.

Xiaoxiang Shota, the most popular "new character" mystery writer in Yingzhou, finished reading "A Study in Scarlet" and threw it aside with scorn.
