Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 36
[Chapter 36 Talking about this book]
I happily opened the update, and that’s it? Let
me say something for you first, and then you can just complain a little bit, at least it’s three updates today, so I might as well talk to you about five more cents. I originally planned to wait until the release of the book to say these words, but then I will probably have to work hard to save manuscripts, and I won’t have so much free time, so I’ll do it a little earlier.
After the last book was finished, I took a break for almost half a year. In fact, I didn’t do anything in this half year. I read a few books, followed a few dramas, played hundreds of games, and went from bronze to king. Suddenly one day I felt that I should write a book…
In fact, when the last book was still being updated, I had already decided to open a small account and write a book freely, a book that doesn’t require too much consideration and completely pleases myself.
The birth of “Gongzi Biexiu” is for this reason.
After writing a few books, authors usually encounter this dilemma. We have a group of readers who like to read our books. They are our loyal readers. When authors want to change their writing methods or styles, they will be very confused. Why not write the previous things? It would be better to write an alternate history, with more female protagonists and more pretentiousness. Isn’t it very nice?
I know that some authors have been working in the same field for a long time and can write the same subject for many years, but I really can’t. After writing two pure alternate history books, I can’t write this subject anymore. So you see that I wrote fantasy, fairy tales, and fantasy…
Maybe you don’t know that I also wrote martial arts and urban novels before…
I never follow the trend when writing books, nor do I write according to what others like. I will write what I want to write. I didn’t do it before, and I won’t do it now.
This is one of the reasons for planning to open a small account. Another more important reason is that after writing many books, I naturally wrote many characters. Sometimes it is inevitable that there will be similarities or high overlaps. Especially for harem novels, there are only so many types of female protagonists. If there are some similarities, many people will come to criticize. These people are still my old readers. It is really tiring.
It’s different when I open a secondary account. I’m a newbie, I can write whatever I want, and whatever I write is new. Why are you criticizing me?
To be honest, I have already created a secondary account, and the title of the book has been created on the secondary account, but man proposes, and in the months after I finished the book, something unexpected happened. My contract changed, which made it very troublesome to open a secondary account. It was very troublesome, so troublesome that I thought, forget it, just criticize me, at most I won’t read the comments…
Some old readers always say that this book is a bit similar to what I wrote before. Nonsense, I wrote them all, and I didn’t want to change my style. How can it not be similar? If it’s not similar, then hell. And before writing, I didn’t think about avoiding these things. In fact, the original intention of writing this book was to rewrite the characters I wrote when my writing skills were not mature enough before, to make up for the regrets at the time. Later, this idea was scrapped. After all, I couldn’t open a secondary account, and only kept a few of my favorite typical characters.
Let’s talk about the book itself.
I wrote the book “Young Master Bie Xiu” completely according to my own preferences without considering the market. I like ancient fantasy stories, but not pure history, so the world view background became fantasy. I like to write about harem, so this book must not have a single female protagonist. Even when the editing was not good, I still started writing the book directly, because for this book, I really wanted to write what I like.
It would be the best if readers like it. If I am just being self-indulgent, I will admit it.
I was really happy during the process of writing this book, because I have manuscripts saved, so I don’t have to rush to write every day. I can slowly think about the plot, the plot, and the jokes. If this state can be maintained, then this should be the happiest book I have
ever written. Although it is a big account, you can just treat me as a newbie.
When I wrote books before, I had too many concerns and was always restrained. I will write this book freely and spend more energy on details and characters. Old readers may have discovered that the character of this protagonist is similar to and different from the previous protagonist. It is a type that I have never written before. This will be more specifically presented in the following plot.
Finally, in response to the doubts of some readers and the arrangement of the subsequent plot, let me say a little more.
Some readers have questioned that the protagonist is a time traveler, so why doesn’t he use saltpeter to make ice? The reason I explained in the book is that it is more convenient for the protagonist to use his ability. In fact, the most fundamental reason is that Lin Xiu is a time traveler, but this is not the first time I have written about time travel. I am sick of writing about inventions and creations. I really am sick of it. If I like writing these things, why don’t I continue to write fictional history?
So, in the later plots, there is no need to question it. The protagonist is obviously a time traveler, so why doesn’t he make soap, perfume, paper, and invent movable type printing to make money? What kind of rubbish is this time traveler who knows nothing? Here you all understand that it is not the protagonist who is rubbish, but the author. Lin Xiu is not to blame…
All the reasons why the protagonist does not do such things are that the author does not want to write them. Please don’t criticize the protagonist. Of course, in order to strengthen the protagonist’s identity as a time traveler, I will write a little bit appropriately and it will not take up too much space, because you definitely don’t read my book to see these things.
There are also various channels that have approached me to write stories with only one female protagonist… There are so many books with only one female protagonist on Qidian, please don’t make it difficult for me. I have written such short stories with multiple female protagonists, and I am afraid that stories with only one female protagonist will be even shorter. I am really not capable enough, please forgive me…
It is correct not to put this single chapter in the posting remarks. It has almost reached 2,000 words without me noticing. If I continue writing, it will be enough for a chapter. I will not be long-winded. I wish me happy writing and everyone happy reading. See you tomorrow.
