Sorry, repost.
I thought I haven't opened a single chapter to chat with you for a long time, so I opened a single chapter. I rarely read comments or chapters, mainly because I don’t have time. Then there is the fear of being influenced by readers.
With the development of online writing platforms, authors and readers have more interactive platforms and opportunities, which is a good thing.
Everything has its pros and cons. The bad thing is that readers can influence the author's writing through their own will.
This is actually quite fatal. I know that many authors have been influenced by readers, changed their own ideas, and written according to the readers' ideas, resulting in writing failure.
And readers who had been influenced by various reasons such as canceling subscriptions just went to read other books.
The author was left to weep silently. I occasionally mingled with the group of authors. Knowing many examples, I laughed at them in my heart: Guapi!
Some readers are really giving comments to the author, which is good, and their existence is benign.
Some readers are just trolls.
When the development of the plot did not go as they expected, they felt it was unreasonable and far-fetched.
Let me explain some readers’ doubts:
Regarding Baker Richardson's betrayal, some readers find it unreasonable. I have foreshadowed this character from the beginning: a gambler and a careerist.
These two points alone were enough to make him take risks. I think I put some care into character creation. For a careerist and gambler, the temptation of fruit is enough for him to give it a try and take a gamble.
When I first wrote about this character, it was actually laying the groundwork for what would come later. Some readers understood it, while others didn't, so they thought it was far-fetched. For the author, this is a rather frustrating place. I once spent time thinking about character design, and I felt that a truly great author would create the soul of the character.
For example, if you write a supporting character who has no quality, then he must be full of swear words, but this does not mean that the author himself is also without quality.
For example, if you write a supporting character who is overly impulsive and can't do things with his brains, then he will inevitably get confused frequently and his IQ will be worrying.
But sometimes, when such an extreme and impulsive supporting character does something stupid, some readers argue and say it's unreasonable. This is completely brainless.
Then, sometimes the intellectual characters in the book have their IQs dropped and are tricked by others.
Half of it is that a wise man will make a mistake every time he thinks about it, and no matter how smart a person is, he cannot predict everything. Zhuge Liang is still dizzy.
Half of it is to promote the plot. Think about it, everything has been considered and there are no flaws, so how can you write it
Necessary missteps are understandable and needed.
Looking at any outstanding work, whether it is animation, novels or TV series, there are many such phenomena.
For example, I watched JOJO before, and at first I thought... Wow, the writing of the battle of wits is so exciting.
But when I think about it carefully, I find that there are too many acts of forcibly reducing intelligence. Those wonderful battles of wits are actually based on forcibly defeating one's wits.
If this were an online novel, the author would have to be beaten out of depression.
Well, I’m not dissing it, I quite like this anime, but it’s also true. Those who have watched this anime will probably agree with what I say. If you don’t agree, go back and see for yourself.
When I say this, I definitely don’t mean to explain the forced inscription of the dead Buddha’s head.
(???)
Of course, there are logical loopholes in any work, which is inevitable.
Then, Wangchen's second personality actually reminded Li Xianyu: the time has not come yet.
The opportunity he was waiting for was the opportunity to kill Qingshi. Only when there was only one clone left could he completely kill Qingshi's will.
The Qingshi is the most difficult, most powerful, and most difficult to deal with among the masters.
Originally, according to Li Xianyu's intelligence setting, he could react and understand the meaning of the second personality. But after he went back in time, he forgot all about it, so when the evil spirit entered his soul, Li Xianyu was unprepared and his brain went into panic on the spot, and no one else received his warning.
Originally, in the second personality's mind, his sword could cause the fall of the Qingshi, causing Dorgon and Baker Richardson to panic.
This is your chance to finish them off once and for all.
Then, Wangchen's second personality woke up. If the matter ended here, there would be no trace back to Li Xianyu later.
This is the foreshadowing that I had thought about earlier.
I will try my best to make the logic as stable as possible so that everyone can die appropriately and not be too aggrieved.
Finally, the second personality is the soul, the sword of intention. The sword of intention only targets the soul, not the body. Therefore, the second personality killed the Qingshi's soul, not the Yishu. Only the Qi Sword can kill the Yishu. This is also a self-consistent logic.
When Qin Ze went up the mountain to ask for help, the second personality threw a branch and burned it.
I also foreshadowed this. He only had one chance to strike, and when he struck out, his soul was shattered.
Wangchen was completely dead this time, not a single bit left.
End of explanation.
