A total of 900,000 words have been updated, with an average of 6,000 words per day. It’s not much, but it’s also above the passing line.
In the original conception, the Emerald Volume opens the curtain, and the game enters the Mysterious Age from Alan's perspective, starting a mysterious and extraordinary adventure.
As the first act, the Amber Volume allows Allen to personally participate in the background of the main events, and gradually expands the world view to show everyone the style of a corner of the empire.
The Obsidian Volume should be the climax connecting the first act.
This volume is supposed to be very important, because its content contains the deeper mysteries of the world and a corner of the truth hidden beneath the surface of the world. There is also the fate of Allen, the growth of his companions, the high-ranking beings behind the various forces, and the story of the Black Knight Byers.
Wait, wait…
There are so many, so many things I want to write about.
However, during this process, many unexpected events and bottlenecks occurred. This was the first dilemma that Luobo faced as a newcomer.
First of all, this is also because the setting is too big and the writing skills are not good enough, which causes the misalignment.
For example, the frequent appearance of high-level players, Howard's oppressive feeling is too strong, Allen is passive due to his own strength, the plot is too dry, too compact with little time for rest, and various problems.
This made Luobo exhausted both physically and mentally. He could only update alone for most of September. On the one hand, it was due to physical reasons, and on the other hand, the story in his mind was too long and messy. He deleted and revised the outline several times, but was still not satisfied.
If I were to judge it on a 10-point scale, I'd probably only give it a 5.
Unfortunately, really unfortunately, I am not satisfied with the Obsidian Volume.
During this period, in addition to writing, I also joined the learning stage. I am very grateful to Huwei for his creative sharing and bought two books he recommended.
There is a very good saying, which seems to describe the state of radish:
“These people are held back by their natural cowardice, because only in their minds can the perfect image be written, but the talent refuses to flow... Whenever I meet a soul suffering from a block of inspiration, I tell him that the blocked writer has another name: a coward.
The writer who is burned out is not afraid of success or failure; he is afraid of his work not meeting his own standards.”
Yes, because of dissatisfaction, it becomes more and more tormenting.
Perhaps there is another reason, which is that the creative passion gradually declines and the initial impulse to express is lost.
This was a huge blow to the author.
Only through practice can we obtain the truth.
Luobo admires those authors who have written hundreds of millions of words and still maintain their passion. Of course, this is also a hurdle that must be overcome on this road.
Fortunately, it's over now.
In the process of learning, Luobo questioned himself.
What exactly do I want to write in The King of Villains, what exactly do I want to express, what kind of story do I want to share with everyone, what kind of emotion do I want to convey... What is my style, what I love, and what suits me
I don't know the real answer, but I am gradually seeing my true self.
Chen Lun’s name sounds like “sinking”, which is a tribute to Zheng Zha, the protagonist of the enlightenment work “Infinite Horror”, and is also the theme of the whole story.
This is a story about a time traveler who challenges fate, escapes from fate, and finally takes control of his own destiny.
I want to present to you a mysterious and bizarre extraordinary world. It really exists, whether it is gods and angels, other high-level beings, or the dark and deep gaze under the iceberg of the world, the spiritual world, the dream world and the life of higher dimensions.
What traces of the epochs and history of this world have been left behind? Besides the so-called gods, are there any more terrifying things or objects
And so on and so forth.
Every character has his or her own dreams, pursuits and stories. Everything Chen Lun experiences and every person he meets should have independent consciousness and should not be manipulated by me.
“The duty of a novelist should be like that of a hypnotist, leading the reader into a dreamland where they forget the present world.”
As a narrator, Luobo’s responsibility must be to present a real dream so that everyone can be immersed in it. After work and study, they will unconsciously forget the scenes of life, immerse themselves in dreams, and embark on a dream journey.
This is also what radish pursues.
I like elements such as Cthulhu, mystery, weird stories, curiosity, Gothic and violent aesthetics.
This might be my area of interest.
Perhaps this is not a popular track, nor a subject that the public loves, but it is what Luobo is interested in. I don’t know what the future holds, but most likely, I will continue to develop my own style in such a fantasy.
Back to "The King of Villains", the story should have about five or six volumes left, so the stage has just been set, so please be patient, dreamers.
Preview of the next volume, Blood Diamond.
Two new members will join the circus, and the head of the circus, Mr. Jack, will gradually become a mid-sequence overlord. The world's iceberg gradually reveals more features, and the truth will be revealed step by step. How the disputes between history and high positions will be presented in the empire is still unknown.
Version 1.0 of the game may end in the next volume.

In addition, Luobo takes a day off.
This is the first time I have asked for leave since the start of the book. Please understand.
It's because of the serialization and the time chasing me that it's hard to stop and organize the plot. Luobo needs to spend enough energy and time to organize the outline of the next volume, so that a more fluent and exciting story can be presented.
Thank you ladies.
I won’t bother you any more, I’ll leave now.
