Summary of November
November is over, and this month’s updates are still slow (it seems like I haven’t gotten up yet). A total of nearly 200,000 words have been updated, with an average of 6,660 updates per day...slightly higher than last month.
In terms of plot, I wrote three dungeons, corresponding to the three worlds respectively. The earth line started martial arts training for all people. The chapters at the end of the month revealed the settings of the spirit world. By the way, I got a glimpse of the imperial people from a distance and put the prayer candles.
This item is reactivated.
When summarizing last month, I said that this month I would start solving the problem of "breaking one off and throwing one away". Looking back now, I have basically achieved this goal. In fact, it can be said that most of the plots throughout November are
To serve this core purpose.
Through the dungeon, the time of No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, and several worlds were stopped, no longer jumping, just like three cars running parallel to each other were slowly stopped... In order to achieve this purpose, the continuity of reading was sacrificed.
, but only in this way can we have a landing point in the subsequent plot, stabilize the previous ones, and have enough energy to start new ones.
The price is the sense of fragmentation in reading caused by continuously changing maps.
Moreover, due to the short length of the dungeons and their different styles, this sense of fragmentation is amplified. Specifically among the three dungeons, Moonsea Continent has the most complete plot structure, but it made several mistakes.
The first is the decreased sense of immersion caused by changing the identity of "Shan Hai". The "Resurrection" ability was originally set up for two purposes. One is that it may be needed in the subsequent empire line, and the other is to solve the awkwardness of entering the new world.
Problem... I tried a new entry method, but looking back now, it seems that the gain outweighs the loss.
Second, the plot is not tightened up. The sinking effect is not obvious enough in the front, and it looks loose. Especially the celebration plot feels like it deviates from the main line... But in fact, the purpose of writing the celebration plot is to
In the space of ten chapters, the world of the Moon Clan is described as much as possible.
To stop the world, it is not just to stop accelerating, but to clearly describe the shapes of different worlds, improve the recognition, so that people have a relatively certain prototype of the inside of the sandbox, and then rewrite a few characters...
To connect with the protagonist, and all this needs to be completed within ten chapters, an event is needed... When writing, I referred to the writing method of farming novels, and wanted to highlight the sense of refreshment, but it seemed inappropriate to graft different themes. This problem is
If you do it the second time, you should pay more attention.
Third, there is still the old problem of changing maps. After entering the Moon Sea Continent, the environment is unfamiliar, and the only memory point, the Moon Tree, does not raise the sense of expectation, resulting in a decline in the experience.
Referring to the above questions, I tried to modify the Southern Continent dungeon...Originally, the plot of Ning Li was arranged for the Hongchen experience, and it was a temporary change. The problem was that some settings seemed a bit stiff, such as Lin Tuo's psychological teacher.
identity, such as Huaxi going to school... Oh, by the way, the plot of the meteor shower was originally about this, but due to changes, it was put at a later date.
But what I did better in this section is that I learned a lesson.
By bringing Huaxi and Hathaway into the dungeon, the sense of fragmentation when changing maps is reduced, and through the update of the "Everyday" short film, the connection with the earth is strengthened... and the existence of the one-eyed giant also allows the plot to be stretched... it can be regarded as a comprehensive confrontation.
Reflection on the Moonsea copy.
In addition, here, I finally determined the method of cutting into a new scene... After trying four different methods, I reluctantly found that the most suitable one may be the fifth one: hard cutting... (sigh)
In short, reflection still has some effect.
So when we arrived at the Tianyuan Continent and the red dust training dungeon, the protagonist brought Huaxi in again. However, because there were no enemies in this dungeon, the plot could not be tense... I also couldn't arrange frequent invasions of the spirit world, which would cause reading fatigue, so after thinking about it,
I decided to use "interesting" to dilute the slack of the plot.
Based on my personal opinion that interesting plots come from interesting characters, the Tianyuan copy focuses on characters.
I wonder if I can write it more interestingly.
Then came Yaoyao, and the dog-licking scene with Pei Ming... Even though I'm not good at writing characters, I still have to try my best to write.
However, the data feedback is not good. Based on the background data trend, I judge that the main problem is caused by frequent map changes.
You know, my original plan was to make the experience dungeon longer, about twenty chapters long. After all, the best way to solve the problem of changing maps is not to change them...
But I had no choice but to cut off half of the plot in the end. In fact, there was a line of foreshadowing in the front, and the second half of the plot was about "Questioning Conference".
As a result, it was cut off, which resulted in a lack of explosive power at the end of the Tianyuan copy.
For example, the Moon Sea dungeon has a climax at the end, and the defeat of the spirit world lord in the Southern Continent dungeon is also a climax, but the climax of the Tianyuan Continent was originally planned to be at the "Question Conference", so it didn't explode.
As for the rest of the plot, due to the short length, there really isn’t much to say. My only thought is to try to avoid this kind of thing in the future. Fortunately, it shouldn’t be necessary next month.
All three sandboxes have been successfully stopped. Finally, there is no need to run back and forth... Next month, that is, the tentative plot in December is that sandbox No. 5 will be opened, and then the role of the earth will gradually increase, and the empire will gradually increase its role.
Whether people appear or not depends on the specific situation and will be adjusted... In addition, the several worlds must be gradually connected to each other. I hope that the 20th year can be completed smoothly.
Chapter completed!
