Phew, The King is over.
He wanted to smoke a cigarette to reminisce about the faint smell of sadness, but he remembered that he had quit smoking for a long time.
He rubbed his hands, sorted out his thoughts, and slowly began to write.
Yep, "King of the Kings" was the longest book I had ever written. If I leveled it up according to the Xuanhuan standard, the word count would double. Six million words wouldn't be a problem at all. After I defeated a world, I would create another one. After I destroyed the Demon Bug Aragami, I would create other high-level species. In the vast universe, it would be a piece of cake for me to create a few random species.
But it wasn't The King.
From the beginning of the first chapter of the book, I had already thought about the ending scene. The female lead hugged the main character who had gone through hardships to become a god. She would pierce their bodies with a sharp sword, and they would sleep in each other's arms. But only the female lead would die. The male lead would still be alive.
Yes, the sad ending had been doomed from the beginning.
At the beginning of every book, I would habitually outline the scene of the ending scene. So this book was doomed to be a tragedy from the beginning.
Dean wasn't a positive protagonist. He wasn't even a protagonist. He was just a tragedy born in this environment. But what I wanted to express was not his sorrow, but the sorrow of the environment. It was also the sorrow of human beings.
In the middle of the book, some people said that the protagonist was cruel and dark. They couldn't stand it and abandoned the book. I saw it, but I still silently wrote mine.
Some people abandoned the book because they were afraid of affecting their worldview.
But I couldn't agree with someone who said that this book was purely describing the darkness and playing up the dark psychology.
In the works with the strongest light, the darkness was clearly visible. In the dark side, the light of human kindness would be particularly moving. This was a common comparison in literature. The King also belonged to the dark side, but I didn't depict too much of human nature. Because I didn't want to. Because I wanted to write about a dark and sad world.
The world might seem far away from us, but in fact, it might be around us.
It was a world without a trace of light.
In the past, the protagonist was a role model for everyone. He represented justice. Even if he wasn't a righteous gangster, he still had to conform to the moral bottom line. It seemed that the protagonist was a role model that everyone should learn from.
But Dean wasn't.
He is alone. He is the crystallization of human nature as I understand it. His end cannot be changed, and there is only one, and it is not a happy life.
In the process of writing this book, I was also slowly learning how to view the world and many things. I used to be naive and hot-blooded, but now I'm silent. Some people say that this book is too gloomy, but the person who is affected the most is me.
So I wanted to write a happy, light-hearted book.
But when he was writing the outline, he couldn't help but analyze it in depth. Once he did, he would discover many things that he couldn't see.
Something that light cannot shine upon.
Perhaps it would be difficult for his future works to break away from this influence. Perhaps this was the seed of the beginning of his style? But I don't want to be limited by a certain style, just like I don't want to be a sci-fi author who only knows how to write about the end of the world.
I was originally lively and mischievous, but now I seemed to have lost interest in many things. My desires were slowly diminishing, and I couldn't bring myself to do anything, as if everything was dull and uninteresting.
Only by stopping his brain from thinking and not thinking would he feel happy. Just like when he was chatting with his wife and family, he didn't need to use his brain to think and was happy.
Living happily is the most comfortable way to live.
The sorrow of bitterness and hatred will only make him seem bitter, and a bit pretentious.
But when writing 'King', he had to sink his heart, think, analyze, and use the perspective of 'King' to see many things.
Then his mood would become gloomy.
At first, I just wanted to write about a slightly real cruel world, adding a little more depth. For example, the giant wall, which symbolizes the human heart. People are imprisoned by the giant wall, not daring to step out, just like they are imprisoned by the fear in their hearts, not daring to step out. So they will never know whether the outside world is beautiful or ugly.
So I told what the outside world is like, it is cruel, it is ugly, it is monsters.
This is the dark tone of the book.
But slowly writing, constantly digging, deeper and deeper, thinking deeply, and then slowly writing.
Maybe the expression is not good, but what the book wants to express is basically written. In the later stages, there is actually nothing to write, because this book mainly talks about the journey of the mind.
There is no limit to the rise of strength, one can break through the world, but the heart has a limit.
When the heart completely degenerates into a king, who can save it?
This journey of the mind is also my own understanding. From the beginning, I planned to write it as a business to make money, but after dozens of chapters, I found that I can write a lot of ideas, but these ideas will conflict with leveling up and fighting monsters, contrary to the business, but I was reluctant to give up.
So when the book was on the shelves, Dudian was imprisoned, and the subscriptions plummeted. This is extremely traumatic for the book, but I didn't regret it.
After being in prison, I didn't often read the book reviews. I thought that since the subscriptions were gone, it would be useless to go back. If in the end, no one will read it, and I can't earn enough money to eat, then I will be a eunuch.
Fortunately, the people who read it gradually stabilized, and slowly increased.
At that time, I was too lazy to read the book reviews. Anyway, I can write according to my own ideas, and I can make a living. In that case, why should I listen to others?
Therefore, although this book was written in a depressed mood, in general, it could be considered to be very happy, and one could ignore it.
I had been paying attention to the book reviews for the past few days and saw that many people were hoping for a happy ending. I could only apologize to them. They had persevered for so long at the beginning. If they dropped the ball at the end, wouldn't it be like slapping their own faces? They would have wasted so many days and nights of hard work.
Hmm, I suddenly thought of the previous book, Reboot of the Apocalypse. That book also had a tragic ending. Falling into the cycle of reincarnation, repeated experiences and repeated losses, repeated searching, but never able to grasp the most precious thing.
However, rebooting was better than this. At least the people's hearts wouldn't change.
Darkness, however, was not an option.
There was no point in reincarnating.
Hmm, that's about all I can think of.
This time, I've been repressed a little too much, almost to the point of severe depression. This new book belongs to the more lively category, the worldview is very interesting, there are many layers, it can be considered as a light to medium fantasy novel ~
Hey, if you haven't collected it yet, hurry up and collect it. Raise the recommendation tickets!
When I open my eyes tomorrow, I, Yang, want to see my collection break four digits … Hengheng!
I almost forgot, the title of the book is: The Descent of Terror ~
