Summary of Volume 8(1/2)
【Summarize】
The eighth volume of Suppressing Demons is officially over.
Proposition writing - the title is the preface: I have an old friend who went away with his sword in hand, cutting off the spring breeze but refusing to return.
Looking at the plot structure of this volume, it goes smoothly according to the outline.
So, this part is satisfactory.
Of course, due to writing problems, some plots are not written brilliantly enough.
We can only continue to work hard in this regard.
Let’s talk about the plot.
The development of the Huanling Sect line will definitely have one or two more levels than everyone thinks.
As for the "Holy Beast Lord" line, we can confidently say that so far no one has guessed it correctly, not even close to it.
Of course, this is normal. After all, as far as the "Holy Beast Lord" line is concerned, the amount of information given in the article is still very small.
About the plot behind.
There is a saying in Mercenaries: In the first half of history, the times create heroes, and in the second half, heroes dance with the times.
At present, this book is still in the stage of making heroes due to the times.
However, I already have a rough plan for the second half, and I can't wait to write out the plots I've conceived.
The one who is more anxious than all of you.
Because before I started the book, most of the highlight plots I conceived were actually concentrated in the second half, where the hero dances with the current situation.
But no matter how urgent it is, you can only take it slowly.
Because without these slow plot foreshadowing, those highlight scenes are not highlights.
The next volume is volume nine, [Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven]: People say that I love Chang'an, but in fact I only love someone in Chang'an.

[Reply to some frequently asked questions and comments]
1. Water.
The comment section will say that there are generally two situations for water.
First, it has little to do with the plot itself, I just feel that some things are written in too much detail.
This part says "water", which is a reasonable accusation.
For example, I wrote very specific reasons why Ying Jie is so obsessed with finding the real murderer.
Some readers feel that there is no need to write it and it is a bit watery.
Water?
There is indeed a point.
But is it necessary to write?
Is necessary.
In fact, I thought these points were quite clear at the beginning and there was no need to write them down.
But the problem is, just in the previous chapter, some people said that they could not understand why Ying Jie would target Qing Ge when he had clearly received such great benefits. This behavior was too forceful to subdue his intelligence.
This is by no means the first time this has happened.
So I thought about it again and again and finally wrote this paragraph.
After all, a master like Cui Zu often has to spend more time writing details in order to prevent conflicts (laughs).
The second type of water is about the plot, which usually occurs when setting up the plot.
Regarding this part of the accusation.
I don't accept it (justifiably).
It’s okay to call it a meaningless side plot, but the foreshadowing of the plot and the emotional foreshadowing must exist in my writing style.
Although it may not be that exciting, it is absolutely essential.
For example, when Teacher Tiancan Tudou wrote that Xiaoyan went to the Yunlan Sect to fulfill his three-year agreement, it took a chapter of writing just to walk from the foot of the mountain to the Yunlan Sect.
I personally think this chapter is the finishing touch and really stirs up the emotions.
In the eyes of some readers, this should be water.
I won't say who is right.
But this is what I wrote.
I definitely write it in my own way (proud).
My way of writing should be regarded as the most traditional starting point.
The details are relatively detailed, and the plot pace is relatively "slow".
After all, without foreplay, how can there be an orgasm?
Of course, some young men will definitely say that some young and vigorous people can have orgasms without foreplay, or that foreplay only requires a little thought.
I do not deny.
Now there is also this kind of writing in Qidian, which is Fei Luwen.
——The check-in articles and survival articles on the list now are of this type.
"Travel, get familiar with the world, understand the techniques, start exploring, encounter minions, show off, start getting slapped in the face, summarize the harvest, and start laying the groundwork for the next map."
To complete this set, I need about forty or fifty chapters, but Fei Luwen only needs three chapters.
Compare the pros and cons of the two writing methods.
Fei Lu Wenyou is so intensive in terms of fun that you can't stop enjoying it. In addition, it conforms to the habit of fragmented reading, and you can get a wave of fun in just two or three chapters.
The disadvantage is that there is no sense of immersion. After the fun is over, there is nothing left and it is difficult to pick it up again.
I am not qualified to judge which kind of writing style is good, and indeed each has its own advantages and disadvantages (and Fei Luwen is quite popular recently.)
However, as far as I am concerned - the pleasure alone cannot satisfy my reading needs, which leads me not to like reading Fei Luwen. I have only read Qidian Wen for more than ten years.
Therefore, I will only write like this.
After all, you must first like what you write before you can continue writing it.
2. Some criticisms.
It’s not that you can’t listen to critical opinions.
But a large part of the criticism stems from readers themselves not looking carefully:
For example, the chapter where Lu Qingshan obtained military exploits and was about to return to Yumen Pass to exchange his military exploits for spiritual crystals, but then was attacked.
No less than three readers directly reviewed the book and questioned whether the plot was a forced indoctrination - Lu Qingshan clearly has military exploits, why didn't he upgrade his level and run away to wander around?
There is also a large part of the criticism that is unnecessary.
What does "unnecessary" mean? It means to be more serious. Yes, you are right, but there is no need to be more serious.
For example, Lu Qingshan’s flying sword was very fast, and after Lu Qingshan drew his sword, his opponent sighed: xxxxxx.
Some readers compared Feijian's speed with his speaking speed and concluded that Feijian should have arrived before his opponent finished speaking.
But in the article, after the opponent finished speaking, the flying sword arrived.
This is unreasonable.
Is this reader right?
right.
But is it necessary to dwell on this?
I think it's not necessary.
This is just like the time-stop commentary in JOJO, just smile knowingly.
There are also some criticisms that are based on imagination and criticism.
As long as you can listen to a little explanation, if you don't want to listen, it's useless to explain until you vomit.
The most obvious example is that in the setting of this book, soul searching has many disadvantages. The information obtained is only a very small fragment and incomplete, so generally no one uses it.
Some readers just can't do it: the soul search setting in other novels is not like this. You just forcibly change the effect of the soul search technique and forcibly reduce your intelligence. This is a rubbish author!
Then there's nothing I can do about it, right?
The last part of the criticism, well, how should I put it, let’s just give an example.
Book Review 1: It’s time to travel to the real world, and those data and other things look really dramatic, not real at all, just like a game.
