Absolute Destiny Game

Chapter 37 Some explanations about readers' book reviews

From the beginning of the book to now, Dazhui has been paying attention to readers' feedback.

Because Dazhui is a computer reader, I don't read many comments in the book review area (there is no book review area on the computer now, and Dazhui doesn't understand it when playing on the mobile phone). I mainly read what is said in this chapter. If you have anything to say to Dazhui, please leave a message in this chapter.

Dazhui will explain some of the feedback and doubts about this book.

1. About water text.

This topic has been around for a long time. I have explained it in the last book. Because it is a game text, there must be a lot of data descriptions, monsters, equipment, and skill descriptions.

In fact, it is more difficult to write this thing than to write a normal text. It is definitely not that the author wants to be lazy. This thing requires brains to edit and think. Sometimes it takes a long time to set up an interesting equipment. With this time, you can write hundreds of words.

As a result, people always say that it is water. Do you think it is unfair? But there is nothing you can do about it. Game texts are indispensable. There will definitely be data descriptions in the future, especially every time the protagonist kills a big BOSS and drops a bunch of equipment, there will definitely be a lot of data descriptions.

A precautionary measure in advance.

However, every time there is a chapter with a lot of data, I will post a few hundred more words. For example, in Chapter 30, Strange Goats, which lists the data of five goats, I posted 3,100 words in this chapter, which is a full 1,000 words more than the normal 2,000-word chapter, in order to avoid readers being unhappy, but people still often say that it is watered down. I am really helpless about this. It is really not watered down.

And now it is a free period, so it is meaningless for me to add more water, right?

This point was complained about in the last book, and I have explained it. I will explain it again this time, and I will not explain it in the future.

2. About the tone of the protagonist's speech.

The protagonist sometimes switches his tone according to the scene and the target of the dialogue. For example, when talking to a few dogs, it is relatively simple and straightforward, as if talking to children.

This is not because the author's writing is bad, but because considering that the IQ of dogs is relatively low, it is definitely impossible to talk to them in a simple and straightforward language. You can understand the scene as the protagonist trying to fool a few five or six-year-old children, and the tone must be more childish.

If you are talking to an old man or a great scholar, you naturally have to be more literary.

For example, when the protagonist talks to a hunter, he starts by saying "Madam", but the hunter always says "my wife, my wife" and so on. Then the protagonist realizes that the hunter is a rough man, so he doesn't bother to be literary and just says "your wife is this and that".

I think there is nothing wrong with this, I don't know why some people complain about it.

Moreover, the protagonist is literary with NPC mainly for the convenience of communication and in line with the context, but once the task is received, or it is found that it is not necessary, sometimes he is too lazy to pretend, after all, it is still quite tiring to be literary normally, and it is definitely more convenient to speak in plain language, and it is impossible to be literary when seeing everyone.

There will be similar situations in the future, "How old are you, old man" in the previous second, and "Old man, hurry up, I'm in a hurry" in the next second.

Special explanation.

3. About some choices of the protagonist.

These choices are all considered, but sometimes the protagonist's thinking process is not written out.

For example, the protagonist does not look for Black Whirlwind to exorcise ghosts but Ye Luo.

Imagine: The protagonist uses exorcism, and the ghost comes out. Black Whirlwind says, "Left, left, shout at the air" to help locate it.

But this kind of positioning is definitely not so accurate. I may hit it or miss it with my sword, but even if I hit it by luck, I can't kill it. Ghosts can fly, so they hide directly and the mission fails.

But finding Ye Luo is definitely more reliable.

So it's not that the protagonist is stupid, but it's precisely that the protagonist has considered it.

But this kind of consideration can't be written out every time. [The protagonist thinks, if I find Black Whirlwind, this and that——] That would be too long-winded.

In fact, when I write now, I often feel that the content is a bit long-winded. Many times when the protagonist makes a decision, I will write out his consideration process just to explain it to the readers, because some readers will really criticize it.

In fact, I didn't write these when I wrote before. The protagonist did whatever he wanted to do, and he didn't explain too much. But later, there were more people criticizing him, so I had to explain the protagonist's inner thoughts in some more controversial places.

When learning skills and choosing equipment, the protagonist will think about it to explain why he did it.

But it is impossible to write this kind of inner description every time, for example, the protagonist bought steamed buns instead of pork. [The protagonist thought that steamed buns replenished 10 points of physical strength for 5 wen, and wild boar jerky replenished 50 points of physical strength for 25 wen. The ratio of replenishing physical strength between the two is the same, but steamed buns can be eaten separately. For example, if you lose 10 points of physical strength and want to recover, you can eat a steamed bun.

This way of replenishing physical strength is more flexible, and wild boar jerky can only be eaten at one time, so it is more convenient to buy steamed buns].

But if such trivial things are written, it will be too dragged out, and there will definitely be people who say that the author is watering down again.

So some choices that are not very important to the protagonist, or choices that I think everyone can understand, will not be written about the inner description, but in fact they must have been considered.

Special explanation.

4. About self-centeredness.

This self-centeredness is more or less common among everyone. Everyone has their own ideas and thinks that their ideas are right. This is inevitable.

I am such a person too.

But some people will mistakenly think that no matter what I think, everyone must also think so, so my thoughts are equal to everyone else’s thoughts, so my thoughts are absolutely correct. If you don’t write according to my thoughts, you are You idiot, you just don't respect the readers.

So I’m going to spray you, and you can’t be angry, because I’m absolutely right and I represent the [obvious consensus of everyone].

Well, this is actually not the case. As an author, I receive feedback from a large number of readers on a daily basis. Especially in the last book, I voted for every big choice. I can say that for every choice, the readers are divided into several different groups. .

There is absolutely no such thing as [apparent consensus].

Maybe there are very few things, such as the protagonist absolutely cannot die.

But the problem with most is that readers see things differently.

As an author, I definitely hope to satisfy all readers, but this is absolutely impossible to achieve.

For example, for the main plot of this book, I originally set up two stories, the dark line and the easy line, for readers to choose. The plot of the dark line is, [The protagonist is recruited by Liu Qiang and sent to the Qinglonghui base to be cannon fodder, and then struggles. The story of survival and finally counterattack. 】

That's right, it's the base in the prologue, the one where a lot of people died.

And the story of Easy Line is now this.

As a result, the two votes in the group ended in a tie. In the end, the decision was made based on the new book selection vote at the end of the previous book. Maybe the difference of one vote would lead to a completely different story now.

So everyone must understand that your choice is just your choice, and as an author, I cannot satisfy everyone. I can only choose to satisfy the majority of people, and sometimes this majority may even be only 51%.

If you choose more than 3, there is a 50% chance that none will be available.

In fact, my personal pleasure is often in the relatively niche category, not even 49%, but the 10% category, so many times the voting results are often beyond my expectations, and the person I want to vote for is actually the one I want to vote for. There are not many candidates. If I write it completely according to my own ideas, many people will probably criticize me as "It's too poisonous. Is the author an idiot? Here you go again."

Since I used the voting method, there have been significantly fewer people complaining, and the author is quite pleased with this.

The side effect is that the author has become a terminal patient with difficulty in choosing. Sometimes I ask readers to help choose a piece of equipment, a name, and what the protagonist eats for breakfast (usually I ask for opinions in the group, see the group number at the end.).

So when you feel that something in this book does not conform to your ideas, before you start complaining, please consider this possibility. Your ideas may just be your ideas, and not an [obvious consensus].

Of course, some people just like to criticize the author, and there's nothing you can do about it. They can find faults wherever they want.

For example, if the protagonist chooses a weapon and I write about the protagonist learning to sword, someone will definitely complain, "Damn, it's using a sword again. It's so cliché. Why do all the protagonists use swords? Can't there be something new?"

If I write that the protagonist uses a gun, some people may complain, "How can the protagonist use a gun? How cool is it with a sword?"

If I write that the protagonist uses nunchucks, "Damn, the author is an idiot. He still uses nunchakus. How can the protagonist use nunchakus?"

For another example, I posted this explanation, hoping that people would stop criticizing me, and others would definitely criticize me again. Damn it, your explanation is just stupid. If I have the time to write two more chapters, it is no better than anything else.

The reader is God. As an author, I can only bear it silently. The so-called thunder, rain and dew are all blessings.

So if someone criticizes me or something in the future, I won’t explain it anymore.

Hereby explain.
