This is something that should be written for everyone in October, but because of all the things, it is late.

I call it a summary because I am not good at thinking about a title. Every time I write an article to name a chapter, it is usually a difficult thing for me to call it a summary. In fact, it is a summary of various emotions I wrote after writing "Dark Moon Era" (later referred to as Dark Moon).

What is the first thing I want to say? It is that "Dark Moon" has long deviated from the beginning of my own imagination. It can be said that it is no longer the original "Dark Moon".

As the author, I actually don’t want to hide it from everyone. My personal favorite is the thirty chapters at the beginning.

And those thirty chapters, from the online article transcript, were a failure.

According to various data and surveys, there are many readers blocked by the previous thirty chapters, and all kinds of negative comments are heard.

It made me doubt myself for a time, did I conceive a story of failure? And has my personal vision been extremely biased?

In this mood, "Dark Moon" deviates from the beginning.

So what is the Dark Moon that I originally built? I said that I wanted to write a article like "Attack on Titan".

This is the original intention.

Therefore, in my imagination, the original "Dark Moon" would completely implement the style of suppressing darkness, and hope would be a faint light in the darkness, but it exists far away. When you get close, it is extremely likely to disappear.

Warmth is the most precious gem in this world. You will be satisfied with having a small piece in your hand.

In that "Dark Moon", there will definitely be no Raptors. All my teammates are in suppressing the darkness in my arrangement. I have already seen through the negatives of human nature coldly, and there is only a trace of young and innocent people.

The character Su Xiao is not warm either. He has full purpose, and after purpose, his complex feelings for Tang Ling...

Tang Ling is a person who pursues hope and an indifferent person who is oppressed by hatred.

All of this has deviated from it and has become the current "Dark Moon".

But careful readers can see some clues from it... For example, the emotional handling of the Raptors is stiff.

Readers who are familiar with me know that I can control my feelings, and this kind of bluntness is a bit strange.

Here, it’s just an explanation. Because it was Dark Moon that changed direction.

It is hard for me to say whether this change is good or bad? When writing articles, I have always been humble and even inferior, I have been learning and adjusting myself.

No matter what, the first thirty chapters made me willful. They also learned that writing style is not suitable for online writing. If you are not in an absolutely quiet and focused state, those thirty chapters will be unaware of.

It sacrificed the plot (it was said to be a cliché), the purpose (at the beginning, there was no purpose except escape), the world view (it was evaluated as a rough world view), and even sacrificed all the pleasure points, even the golden finger was suppressed, just to build an atmosphere.

The comparison is "Attack on Titan".

Such articles are indeed difficult for people to read, and online articles also have the general environment and rules of online articles.

And I also forgot that "Attack on Titan" is a comic, and the animation that made it successful shows the picture more directly, which avoids the shortcomings of the text.

I regard all this as a learning process.

Readers who are familiar with me know that I am an author who challenges myself all the way.

From "The Years of My Being a Taoist" to "The Secrets of Mountains and Seas", the style has undergone a huge change. After three years of writing, I began to write "The Age of Dark Moon", which is another huge change.

I can't say I'm a unique challenger, but I'm very happy that I'm moving forward and accumulating all the time.

And I believe it all the time, and one day I will be able to write what I really want and will be accepted and recognized by everyone.

Because no author does not need recognition, I am not yet at the point where I do not need readers, but only need self-appreciation, and the spring and snow are everywhere.

Although, I have always had my own "ambitions" and dreams in writing.

What I want to tell you is that while I study and learn to adapt to the environment, I can also write what I want. This kind of balance is difficult, but just work hard.

As the Dark Moon is written, what I want to tell you is, what is the story of Dark Moon?

Although I said "Dark Moon" has deviated from the beginning, it is only the tone of the story and the characters.

There has not changed from the story structure, and there are two most important points that have not changed.

The first point is the plot handling.

Those who read "Dark Moon" until now will find that the protagonist has been in a book that is almost two million words, and the protagonist has not yet been upgraded to the first-level Purple Moon Warrior.

Do you think it would be too ruthless for me to suppress and upgrade?

The answer I gave is - no.

I did not suppress the upgrade because the level of this book exists just to build a worldview, but it does not revolve around the main tone of the protagonist.

Whether the protagonist upgrades or not is related to the plot.

Let me give an analogy. If the protagonist has more things happening at the age of 15, then there will be more writings around him at this age. Upgrades come naturally in events, but because there are many events and short time, the protagonist must not be able to upgrade too much.

If the protagonist has fewer things happening between the ages of 20 and 26, then there will be no more words surrounding him, but as time goes by, the protagonist has been promoted several levels.

If I say this, you may understand that this is the so-called plot flow, and I have diluted the escalation, and the protagonist's experience, one event after another, is the way to describe "Dark Moon".

In fact, it is undoubtedly better to write around upgrading.

The reason for this is that the upgrade is more purposeful. If you write a long online article, if you cut it into one "segment purpose" after another, the author will be easier to write.

For example, if I need to upgrade at this stage, I will develop a series of stories around what, so that the plot is closely surrounding the upgrade. At least for the new author, it can at least save some effort to overcome the problem of writing collapse. If the writing skills are stronger, it can also lay some interesting branches within the main trunk and increase the attraction.

I am a newcomer, and I have to put aside my past achievements. Therefore, I have also solemnly considered this kind of insurance writing. After all, the plot flow is difficult to control, not to mention that this is a soft science fiction, a long one! It is not an urban area, so it will be more difficult to deal with when writing.

But in the end, I chose the plot stream. There was no other reason, which made me more soothed.

The second point has never changed, that is, "Dark Moon" is an open story.

How do you say this openness? That is to say, I have magnified the worldview to an extremely long timeline and treated it as a real era.

Looking at a person’s life, how can he pass through an era?

This statement is a bit abstract, but to put it in an unabridged way, I will use a Japanese anime to illustrate it, although it cannot be fully explained.

This anime is "Space Fortress".

This is an cartoon that I watched love very much when I was a child (I definitely didn’t reveal my age, I was only 18 years old, I just had rich experience).

It is divided into three parts. What does it tell? It tells the history of three generations of people's resistance to alien aggression.

The protagonists of each movie are different, and I still remember that the protagonist in the first movie is called "Rick", and there is also a second female movie called "Mingmei"...

When I watched the second part, I was stunned. Where did Rick go?

I say this, not that "Dark Moon" will become like several protagonists, but that "Dark Moon" revolves around a beginning and around the character Tang Ling who created this beginning.

Just like the first part of "Space Fortress", well, after thinking about it, it is also like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", its ending is just the ending of a character Guo Jing growing to a stage.

Then, aren’t there any “The Godly Condor Heroes” and “The Legend of the Heavenly Condor Heroes”?

In my vision, what this book wants to accomplish is a worldview, and in the future, you can use this worldview to unfold a new story.

My idea about this worldview is that other authors want to use it in the future, which is very welcome.

I just want everything in the book to be infinitely close to reality.

It's my own romanticism.

So when I said this, some people who are sensitive to writing should understand what I am talking about and what does openness mean?

And, even if I have chosen, this book can only be written as a plot stream for this structure.

In fact, there are so many experiences and emotions about writing "Dark Moon", but I found that I couldn't finish it for a while.

In the future, I will continue to write such things to facilitate communication with everyone.

Because I am also confused in many places and need answers.

Finally, the orders of "Dark Moon" soared in September, and then continued to grow until now. It is inseparable from everyone's support.

Many readers are also insisting on chasing "Dark Moon" and giving me a sentence "This book is good." I am also very pleased. Thank you for your affirmation when you come back.

I still say the same thing, I have been learning and looking forward to progress, and I will write it well.

Just like this time, I wrote almost two million words from the end of February to eight months since I was released. This is a huge breakthrough for me, and I couldn't imagine it before.

Anyway, thank you for your company and support.

Especially the old book fans who followed me from the beginning, without your initial encouragement, it would be hard for me to imagine whether my glass heart could still persist.

Next, I have to tell you the reasons why the update is unstable during this period.

The matter is a bit long, but to put it simply, it is preparing the script of "Mountains and Seas".

This incident has experienced many setbacks and cannot be described in detail.

But this time, no surprise, it should be smooth.

As for the script, I am another newcomer and I have to meet the team frequently to get in.

I am very glad that many of this team are Taoist priests and fans of Shanhai, and they respect the story itself very much.

As for myself, I really don’t want everything to be changed beyond recognition, so I thank you for meeting this team.

But at the beginning, I was quite careful.

According to the idea, Shanhai first appeared online movies. After all, I also need to try the waters. In order to be responsible for the work, I want to see what effect will the first time I am responsible for the screenwriter show?

If it is not very good, the old fans of Shanhai don’t hit me.

That... what, the production of online movies cannot be compared with theaters, you can understand it. However, the story itself promises that it will not disappoint everyone.
To be continued...
