What to talk about late at night

I've seen everyone's recent controversy over this story. I couldn't sleep tonight, so I just happened to have a chat with you. I just thought it was a summary in advance, because the third volume may not be suitable for summarizing at the end of the volume.

In the recent plot, many book friends have had a lot of controversy over the issue of the Liu family being offline, and Chen Ji's "action" in this incident being very small, with little "sense of presence", and not satisfying enough, thinking that this was a failure.

I can actually understand everyone's thoughts, and I understand it completely. If I were to change the writing method of Nomenclature of the Night, it would definitely have the protagonist as the core. All stories must have a beginning and a transition. A rebellion that has been laid for so long must have a vigorous ending. Sufficient and substantial.

Book friends' expectations were dashed, and the Liu family suddenly went offline. Everything seemed like the story was too hasty.

This sense of entanglement is actually what I face every day: As an author, I know how people will react to writing like this, but in the end I weighed it for a long time and decided to write it like this.

I would like to apologize in advance. This way of writing is indeed very offensive and makes everyone uncomfortable. I am really sorry.

Tell me why.

For book lovers, the Liu family's sudden and irreversible demise is hasty, and the same is true for Chen Ji.

We enter this story from Chen Ji's perspective, and he will feel as confused as everyone else. Why did it end suddenly? The Liu family is just gone?

But in this world, someone had carefully planned the fate of the Liu family several years ago. All plans were aimed at ending this battle as quickly as possible so that the Liu family would not have any strength to resist.

When I asked for leave a few days ago, I was aware of this problem, so I fell into conflict and thinking. At that time, I hoped that Mr. Liu could come up with more means to face this situation, and then he could die more vigorously and become a A more powerful villain, but in the end I found that his opponents would not give him this chance.

If it is given, then the planning of the past few years will be completely meaningless, and Mr. Feng's seven years of hard work and courage to relieve the Liu family's last defense will be meaningless.

So I finally chose to respect this fate and did not try to rewrite it.

I can't write about how much effort Mr. Feng made to seize power, and how many times he was defused by the Liu family. I can't write about how much the Secret Service did in it, and what roles King Jing and Emperor Ning played. Role.

Just like many legends in history collapse too suddenly, we cannot see the undercurrent from the protagonist's perspective, and can only wait to reveal it slowly later.

Not only the Liu family, there will be more people who appear and leave suddenly in the third volume. This is their destined fate and is the underlying logic of the entire story, which is not based on Chen Ji's will. , nor is it subject to our will.

Let’s talk about the protagonist’s sense of presence in this story.

Before Chen Ji traveled through time, his fate had already begun to intertwine. During this period, countless things happened and there were countless conflicts in human nature. Until Li Qingniao appeared in front of Chen Ji and pushed him into the sea of ​​clouds, the gears of fate finally began to turn.

In the stories in the first three volumes, strictly speaking Chen Ji is not the real protagonist of this story, because he is just experiencing the fate of others. Those characters, whether they are big or small, have cute and hateful parts, and they have their own thoughts.

No one is born to play a supporting role for the protagonist in what they do.

Therefore, in the current part of the plot of the third volume, Chen Ji's role has been downplayed, causing book friends to lose some sense of involvement and become "spectators" like Chen Ji.

Chen Ji is not a senior official, nor does he have his own dreams, ideals, and motivation. He just came to this world without knowing anything, and then experienced this incident in a confused way, unable to do anything.

I also thought about making Chen Ji more interesting in this story, letting him be as wise as a demon in the process of Liu family's demise, and dominate the direction of the whole incident? But in fact, this is not a story prepared for him.

With destiny, many people have been preparing for many years just for this day, but he just happened to come to this world at this time.

He won't understand what happened during this period until much in the future.

As I said before, when I first conceived this story, I actually started from the third volume. To be precise, it started from the plot after tomorrow (this is why I want to take some time to write a summary today)

(even though the third volume is not over yet).

First there is the plot after tomorrow, then there is the ending, and finally there is the previous story. This is the order.

Book friends can understand that in the following plot, Chen Ji finally becomes the real main line and protagonist in this story, and this story finally has a main line. (If I am more willful, I actually want to include all the previous plots.

Call it a small "prequel", "preface" and "preface".)

Perhaps book lovers will be able to feel the true tone and background of this book at the end of the third volume, or they may have to re-understand the traces.

Here, I still want to say sorry for everyone’s bad reading experience in recent days. I can understand your feelings. Please be patient.

Thank you all.

Thanks again.
Chapter completed!
