I Play Cards In Yu-Gi-Oh

On January 16, 2022, when I typed the last character to save the document, I still felt a certain unreal feeling—the book was really finished.

From the release of the first chapter on July 29, 2020, to the official completion in 2022, the story of our duel Wang Youyu has finally come to an end. The whole book has more than 3.8 million words. It is undoubtedly a heavy book and a long journey. I must sincerely thank you for your company so far, especially those readers who accompanied this book to the end.

Without you, You Yusang would not have come this far.

This is the longest book I have written since I entered the pit. To be honest, I never thought that I would one day be able to complete a super-long novel of nearly 4 million words.

This book is a new challenge for me in terms of subject matter, length and achievements, and a milestone of extraordinary significance on my creative path. There are honors and regrets during this period, and there are too many things I want to summarize.

Let's talk about honor first.

As you can see on the work details page of this book, this book has accumulated more than 200,000 collections, won the honorary one-star badge, and was included in the Qidian boutique channel. Sealed push, got the recommended startup splash screen...  

Oh yes, and of course I received my first Silver League since I entered the pit to create. Here I have to thank the Silver League boss clv orange again, which means a lot to me.

Then I have to thank my editor-in-chief, Madoka, who has resigned.

After I wrote the beginning of this book and submitted it to her, Madoka took the initiative to privately chat with me on QQ, and asked in disbelief, "Yu-Gi-Oh? Seriously?"

She said that at least in her career, she had never seen even a Yu-Gi-Oh fan book at the starting point, and she was not optimistic about the subject matter. She advised me to think carefully, because the prospect of this book is not optimistic.

But despite her suggestion, when I finally insisted on publishing the book, she still filled me with resources throughout the process. Including the best-selling selections that this book later got, the homepage big cover and the splash screen push, all of which she helped me win.

And the performance of this book was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

At the beginning, books with an average order of more than 3,000 can be included in the boutique channel. At least as far as I can observe, in the past, no game of King of the Game has ever been included in the boutique channel.

In fact, my initial small goal for this book is to be able to order more than 3,000, and get a boutique badge. I never imagined that it would attract so many poker players, and it directly sent me a wave of 10,000 subscriptions. During the peak period of this book, it was a regular customer of the top ten best-selling light novels for several months, which is really unexpected.

My gratitude to the duelists is indescribable, so I'll ask the Dark Magician girl to bow to you in a moment.

In a word, as of the end of this chapter, the testimonials are sent out, this book still maintains the record of the highest subscription of the game Wangwen in terms of data, which is a miracle for a rare poker text in the Internet, thank you again!

But of course, there are still many regrets.

For me, the biggest regret of this book is that the rhythm could not be stabilized in the later stage due to personal problems.

From the opening of the book to the end, it took nearly a year and a half to have more than 3.8 million words. Every day, the three changes, including the Spring Festival, were never interrupted—except for the leave in July.

That would really make me a little bit unbearable.

Old readers who have been chasing updates may also find that the rhythm of this book has gotten a little out of control after returning to update from that time off.

Let's talk about the plot first. After all, playing cards is relatively small, and there are limited books that can be referenced and learned during writing. I am also exploring and improving the rhythm of this book.

In general, I am quite satisfied with the rhythm in the early stage of this book, especially in the dm chapter.

When the dm chapter ended and entered the gx chapter, in fact, I had foreseen some problems, mainly the problems caused by the power system of the original Yu-Gi-Oh!

Unlike most other hot-blooded comics-the general power system of other anime works is constantly expanding, and the protagonists and enemies of the next work are often much stronger than the previous one, but Yu-Gi-Oh is not.

Although Yu-Gi-Oh's cards are stronger from generation to generation, in terms of the power system setting in the animation, the first generation is the ceiling. The first-generation dueling king Muto Games, the pharaoh Atum, and the three phantom gods under Atum's command are difficult to surpass in strength and force in future works.

Then I will encounter a very real problem when I write a fan. That is, after the protagonist gets through the dm copy, obtains the strength that matches the protagonist group and the boss in the dm, and even wins the trump card such as the Three Phantom Gods, and then goes to the next copy, there is a feeling of abusing vegetables.

But overall I'm pretty happy with my handling of the gx chapter - although maybe it could have been better.

In fact, in the initial outline design, Yu Yu's journey should have ended in the gx chapter. So everyone will find that the final boss of this book is darkness, which is obviously the boss of the end of gx.

However, there have always been many people in the book review area who expressed their desire to see the story of 5ds, and many book friends privately chatted with me asking if they would write 5ds. In addition, 5ds is indeed my favorite game in the whole series of Yu-Gi-Oh, so after thinking about it, I added this chapter.

But now that I think about it, I think maybe we should follow the original outline and end it in the gx chapter. There are three reasons.

First, I overestimated my ability to handle long-form works. i never wrote

Dear, this chapter is not over, and there is another page ^0^ For a long story like this, the rhythm development of the story in the later stage has been a bit beyond my control, obviously lack of stamina, and the quality has declined compared to before.

Second, it is also for personal reasons. I haven't recovered since I asked for leave at the beginning, and the 5ds chapter was not included in the original outline. While maintaining the update every day, I have to supplement the outline of the story and complete the outline of each duel design, which is indeed a little powerless.

So everyone will find that in the end, the story can only be pushed forward by one duel after another, because I only have time to complete the outline and duel design of the overall direction of the story, and the details are really unable to perfect...

Third, there is the issue of duel design. Although Yu-Gi-Oh's card pool is very large, new cards and new summoning methods can emerge in an endless stream. If I continue to write about excess, pendulum, and links, I may be able to write 10 million words, but aesthetic fatigue is inevitable.

I can keep adding new cards and new systems, but there are only those kinds of routines in duel. The number of duels written in this book is already more than any other Yu-Gi-Oh animation, and the frequency of duels and cards is too high, and aesthetic fatigue is inevitable. So that might be one of the reasons why it should have been over long ago.

Then someone may find that there are more and more bugs in the later duel composition.

But the fact is that the bug is not that there are more bugs in the later period, but that there have been so many bugs.

The system of Yu-Gi-Oh is too huge and complicated, the card pool is bottomless, the animation production team has a whole week to design the finale of only one episode, and there are still a lot of duel bugs in the animations of the past dynasties. The author has to update three chapters every day, and it is normal for bugs to appear.

The reason why there are few decision bugs in the early stage is that after each chapter is published every day, the author will repeatedly review the comment background from morning to night, and if someone says that there is a bug, he will revise it as soon as possible. Often it takes a long time to fix a bug...

But since returning from that leave, the author's physical condition has not allowed him to keep brushing backstage from morning to night. In addition, the outline of the 5ds chapter must be supplemented at the same time as it is written, and the detailed outline must be written while maintaining the update every day, so the bug can only be corrected by the author himself before sending it out. If there is a reminder in the area, it will be modified, and if it is missed, it may pass...

I have regrets, but overall this is a book that means a lot to me. In the past year and a half, I have also learned a lot, even if I regret it, I can learn from it, and I am confident that the next book should be able to do better.

Having said that, let's just mention a new book issue that everyone may be concerned about.

The content of the new book has not been completely decided, only some ideas at present.

But I definitely need to rest and adjust before I publish the book. After all, the current state is obviously not suitable for continuing serialization (laughing and crying). I hope to adjust it as soon as possible, and it is expected that a new book will be released after the year.

The subject of the new book, to be honest, I still want to write about playing cards. But the book that can be written in the words of the same person has basically been written, and then I design a protagonist of the protagonist who travels to DM to start over, and even I feel that it is a bit frustrating haha.

And as I have analyzed before, I have basically written all about Yu-Gi-Oh!’s decision-making routines in this book. Even if a new pit is opened and a new deck is replaced, the similar visual sense of the decision-making will also make it 80% easier. People are tired of aesthetics~www.readwn.com~ In fact, when I saw the big brother of Qingquan Liuxiang transforming from a Pokemon fan to writing original Beast Mastery, I came up with a bold idea-maybe I can learn it too Learn from the big guy, open up an original game similar to Yu-Gi-Oh?

This thought made me very excited, but after the excitement, my reason told me that it was too difficult hahaha. There are not many books about card summoning, but I haven't seen many original card-playing web articles.

If I did decide to write it, I would quote a quote from the famous British drama "Yes, Prime Minister" - it was a bold decision.

Anyway, the new book has not been finalized yet. Personally, I still hope to try something original, but it is definitely not easy to transform.

If you duelists have any ideas and suggestions for the new book, you can also leave a message here for suggestions.

Then the journey of this book is really over here, once again thank you all duelists for your company for a year and a half!

See you next year with our new book!

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
