q: How is the power system in this book arranged
a: Khan, it is understandable to see everyone's questions about the power system. The setting of this book refers to Neil Gaiman's "American Gods". From the comments, some children's boots have already been seen.
The core part of Neil Gaiman's setting is that man created God, not the other way around.
I will write about the specific power system construction later. If you are interested, you can also find "American Gods" to take a look, but the power setting of "American Gods" itself is very confusing, and according to the views of modern Internet articles, the opening chapter It is highly toxic. Thanks also for the reminders. In the follow-up content, I will further improve it.
Q: Shouldn't the strongest be the three well-known ones
a: That's right, unlike the one in Greece and Rome, there are more than 100 million believers in the real world, but unfortunately I can't write it for some well-known reasons.
Self-castration is one of the necessary skills for creators to save their lives.
I need to make some compromises in exchange for the safety of this book, so except for the Jewish god who often appears in film and television works (some of them were mentioned before, and I also said in the last chapter that he did not end), the other two I have Do not write.
You could say it's the elephant in the room, but I'm pretending not to see it. The girlfriends of the squid god have all been blocked, and I am more timid, forgive me, and I understand everyone's doubts.
q: Why are there no local gods
a: One reason is that the cultural differences between the East and the West are relatively large, and it is too difficult to mix them together. I haven’t seen a book that can coordinate the two without creating a sense of disobedience, so I personally don’t like to use it. The two are put together, and another reason is for safety reasons. When you write about Buddha, you will write about ghosts. Everyone knows the ban in the film and television industry. Before, Qidian’s horror channel was also cut off, so you understand, especially if you don’t know It is always right to have more tangent points where the line is. In fact, I can understand some things, just look at the problems in South Korea next door. Of course, I still hope that there will be better solutions in the future.
Maybe decades later, when our materialism education is popularized, and everyone can look at the creation of this area from a more open perspective, the group of people who left before will come back to reclaim this land. I always feel that As a creative genre, it's a pity that it just died out.
q: Irrelevant to the previous chapter, I saw some readers suggested to me why they didn’t just write something down when they encountered something they didn’t understand
a: I have always firmly believed that the sense of reality is created by the details, so even if I don't understand something, I am willing to check the information and write in more detail, rather than just mentioning it. (In addition, I am afraid that this book would have been included if I had taken it all at once.) But there will definitely be problems, such as outdated information, or differences in itself, and the big aspects are actually easy to check, but some details are more troublesome, such as When I wrote about the Soviet-Finnish War, the soldiers on both sides ate several meals a day. It was very difficult to find what food to eat for each meal, but if I didn’t find it, I lacked the bricks and tiles to build the world. When I wrote Tokyo Drift, I was in b I found a video of a great god studying abroad on the website, and I will check the accommodation, admission procedures, etc., including what kind of bank card international students usually use. After that, I also bought a lot of reference books for the copy of Apollo. (Although the process of translating is very distressing, it is also very interesting)
These are actually nothing to be proud of, they are part of my job.
However, this is just this web article after all. I need to maintain a certain amount of updates to make money, and my state will also have certain ups and downs. There will always be places I didn’t expect. I can only do my best, but it is inevitable There may be some negligence in some details, but now I find that the occupations and hobbies of the readers are also very strange. wrong. ()
In addition, I will always face the problem of balancing the real writing with the cool viewing.
For example, the voting system on board the Black Sail Dungeon was not cool enough, because even if Zhang Heng got involved with the captain, he might be overthrown by his subordinates, and gambling was not allowed on board, but that was the real situation at the time, and the captain was walking on thin ice. You need to coordinate the relationship between your subordinates. This is your top priority, and it may be more important than your ability to rob.
This is why "Pirates of the Caribbean" is much more popular than the American drama "Black Sails". "Pirates of the Caribbean" is more exciting and beautiful in the senses. Everyone likes to watch cool things, and I am no exception.
So I sometimes make some trade-offs, such as the article on kendo, the real kendo is different from the film and television works, for example, the reader who likes kendo told me that in the real kendo, no one faces each other with a sword. The outcome, but I think this is quite heroic, and the part of fighting and drawing the sword is still left.
In addition, I have been adjusting and testing the rhythm.
q: Last question, you are rambling a lot here, have you written the second update today
a: no. I guess I can’t write it anymore, and it’s useless for you to hammer me on the ground. I know I owe a lot of chapters, and I still owe the first and second volumes. This one has to be completed one by one. ashamed. (_)
ps: This chapter is long, but it costs nothing.
