Interim Remarks + New Book "Xianjia"

I am in tears as I write this, and I don't know what to say.

"Xianlong" has come to an end.

Originally, there was a plan to write for two years, but in the last three months, it was really rushed to finish, and there was a month of interruption in the middle, and it finally stopped at 2.82 million words.

All the reasons are my fault.

When I started this book, Bugu racked his brains, thought a lot, set a lot, and tried his best to plan it in the long-term direction, and wanted to use it to expand Bugu's ability to control long novels. The final effect was also good, attracting many friends, and successfully surpassed the cliché of half of "Xianlu".

But unfortunately, when it was written to two-thirds, the most obvious watershed was "Yu Lie Dancheng". The ending of the last one-third was beyond control and there was nothing I could do.

Everyone started to scold.

Bugu bowed his head and admitted his mistakes.

In addition, this book has made a lot of progress, so much that it is impossible to talk about writing skills like the end of "Xianlu". This may also be related to the fact that Bugu has almost mastered all the skills he can learn. The only thing left is to "write". Just write well and practice well, so I didn't have the feeling of sudden enlightenment like when I finished half of "Xianlu".

But I can still talk about other feelings, such as the ability to control long articles.

"Xianlong" is a book that I consciously and even recklessly expanded the number of words in writing. The original plan was to write as long as I could, intending to use it to define the most suitable long-form word space for Bugu.

The general idea is similar. Use it to conquer the world, and how big the world can be is determined by it. The subsequent creations were polished within the territory (number of words) set by it.

Therefore, at the end of "Xianlong", Bugu struggled again. He didn't want to end it, but turned out the setting of the battle in another world that he had buried in advance, wanting to continue to expand the number of words and enrich the content.

In the original plan, this was a new idea that was different from the ordinary fairy realm, that is, to replace the secret realm with a different world, each world is different, and for this reason, Bugu collected many interesting worlds.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Facts have proved that Bugu loves to watch plane battles, likes the infinite heavens, thousands of civilizations and races, and the intersection of different power systems, but Bugu is not good at it and cannot write it for the time being. After struggling, I recognized myself.

In addition, there are other lessons, such as Bugu likes power hegemony and farming, but he is not good at power hegemony and farming. Taste and hobbies have misled me for a long time.

If "Xian Lu" allows Bugu to learn a lot of skills and ideas, then "Xian Cage" allows Bugu to recognize a lot of realities.

For creators, these are like the yin and yang sides, both of which are extremely important and indispensable.

It is said that those who are not talented can only move slowly and move forward slowly.

Talking about this, there are many thoughts and feelings.

Writing books and writing books, several years have passed in a flash.

When people are close to thirty, many lofty ambitions are uncertain, and many youthful years are wasted repeatedly.

It is hard to say, hard to say.

Since October last year, the traffic of "Xian Long" has dropped sharply because it has been written for a year and is considered an "old book" on Qidian. It has plummeted this year, and it has been like this every month.

How much has it dropped? The number of new subscriptions dropped from more than 10,000 to only 6,000 or 7,000, which is directly cut in half. The number of new people who collect this book every day has dropped from three digits to two digits, and then to negative numbers. (The traffic problem is not only Bu Gu's problem).

In other words, in the past year, only old readers have come and gone for this book, and there are almost no new readers.

This situation is really unimaginable, and it has never been seen in the second half of "Xian Lu".

After a year of hard work, in August, it was delayed for another month due to family affairs, and the situation became even more out of control. After struggling for a while, there was still no improvement and no new readers.

The environment of Qidian is like this, and Bugu has to admit and envy it at this time. It seems that it is time to start a new book.

So there was the conception and establishment of the last part of the trilogy, "Xianjia".

In Bugu's plan, "Xianlu" laid the foundation, "Xianlong" expanded, and "Xianjia" was used to achieve great success, to help me, make a lot of money, and build a godhood!

This is the arrogance and planning of young people. It should not be shabby to say it out. Bugu is also reluctantly moving in this direction. Although he is not stable, he is at least step by step.

As for the trilogy, if the third part really makes some money, it doesn't need to be too much, enough to support life for a period of time, preferably one year, at least half a year, as for what to do after that.

That is to write slowly and well, use the strength of writing the beginning, write a story of about 300,000 words that can be read repeatedly by friends, and use this to precipitate the writing ability and enter the hall.

After all, book friends all say that Bugu's beginning is good, and then he is lost in the crowd.

Really, every book praises it, and every book says that Jiang Lang has run out of ideas.

Actually, Bu Gu really wants to write a "classic" book and become famous!

Really want to!

Just writing the beginning also has its price.

Repeated polishing is secondary. The most important thing is that the passion for writing will be seriously worn away by daily updates.

Unless you are mentally prepared to write intermittently, write for free, and devote yourself to it for a period of time, don't even think about it.

Even if you write slowly, it may not work. But I really want to give it a try.

In terms of long-form control ability, I really can't compare with the big guys. Maybe writing slowly can bring a bright future?

The above is the planning of the Cuckoo trilogy and some fantasies after that.

I hope that in the third trilogy, my writing skills will be further improved and completely perfected, and then I can grind it out for 300,000 words without worries, and each chapter is the beginning, and make a good novel that people can read repeatedly.

(300,000 words is an intermediate number. It can be a single book or the first part of a series. It can be longer or shorter. But if it is too long, I guess I can't bear it or it will take too long.)

After all, Cuckoo writes books. In addition to making money to make a living, I also want to become famous and leave my name in history.

Hahaha, don't laugh. I really want to leave my name in history, the ultimate dream.

The reason is simple. It seems hopeless to live forever in this world. Only the name and works can live forever in the world.

This is a naive fantasy, but every time I think of it, it really makes Cuckoo very excited.

The requirements are not high. Take it slowly. If there is something in my life, it can be preserved for two or three hundred years.

(I really didn’t dare to talk about this idea before, and people laughed at me. But now that the trilogy is about to be completed, it seems that I can talk about it and have some fun.)

…………………………

Speaking of the new book, "Xianjia".

This book is also a fairy tale, and it has the same old flavor, even though every other book has been criticized for being too similar.

But every book written by Bugu is really different, and every book has something new.

This book "Xianjia" is also about a system that has never been written before!

Of course, it is not out of thin air, but is based on many materials, and the Xianjia refining system is established after comprehensive consideration and balance.

Maybe it is not completely innovative, but it definitely has some freshness.

As for the background of the story, it is set in the Middle Earth.

Yes, it is the prosperous Middle Earth that was destroyed in "Xianlu", Xu Dao wanted to go there but failed, and Bugu wanted to write about it but failed.

It’s just that the Middle Earth today has sunk into a den of ghosts and has changed a lot, but it contains vitality and is ready to go.

"Xian Lu" is about the end of the law era when spiritual energy is scarce but still exists, "Xian Long" is about the prosperous age of the immortal way with abundant spiritual energy, and "Xian Jia" is about a new story of spiritual energy from the trough to the point of no spiritual energy and recovery.

The three books are related to each other, but they are independent and do not affect individual reading.

Regarding the book "Xian Jia", Bu Gu estimates that it should not collapse before 2.5 million words, and even logically infers:

Xian Lu is written to one-half, Xian Long is written to one-third, and now Xian Jia should be able to fill the last piece and write it complete!

Therefore, when Bu Gu named the new book, he hesitated for a long time and continued to use the surname "Yu" and named it with the character "Que".

It means to inherit Yu Dao, Xu Dao, Yu Lie, carry on the past and open up the future, check for omissions and fill in the gaps!

Finally.

Welcome everyone to the secret world of Zhongtu Dao. This time it is the story of Yu Que.

Thank you.

Cuckoo's new book: "Immortals"

I am a ghost fire boy in the mountains, and I am lazy and crazy. I have corrected green poems and yellow papers, and drunkenly entered the underworld to borrow paper money.

There are thousands of techniques and thousands of laws, but how often have I looked up at the King of Hell? Calling ghosts and monsters will not go back, and burning immortals to eat moonlight.

——————————

Nurturing spirits and feeding ghosts, refining water and fire, and the story of immortals fighting for immortality.
