I'm sure you've seen a familiar line in the endnotes of other famous authors (if you're not a famous author, you probably won't see it either) that "the character is out of my (the author's) control, and I can no longer control his actions." You may have the same doubts as I do: Don't you, the author, write the text yourself, but use some kind of AI to create the text? How can you not control your character
However, this statement can also be explained by the recently popular AI painting: the more "keywords" you add to AI, the more the pictures generated by AI will meet your requirements.
For a work, the "keywords" of each character will only increase and become more detailed. So rather than saying that the author cannot control the character, it is better to say that when the character is complete to a certain degree, she is already beautiful enough to meet the author's requirements and imagination.
I adjusted the outline once, but the focus of the adjustment was not on the fourth volume, but on the fifth volume. In the original plan, Ash was going to step into hell by himself to open a new map and part with Sword Lady and others again. After all, this is the writing method I am familiar with, and it is also easy to write. More importantly, the emotional line is also more comfortable. But when I wrote Chapter 998 "A Short Separation Is Better Than a New Marriage", I knew it was over. I can think of countless reasons for their separation, but I don't want them to separate anymore.
I had foreseen this scene when I was conceiving the outline of the fourth volume, but I didn't expect that I would be affected by it.
Even though I know we will encounter more troubles after meeting each other, I am still afraid that we will never meet each other in this life.
Then let you torture each other.

The fourth volume can be said to be the basis and core of this book, and it throws out the two settings that I am most looking forward to and want to write about.
The first is the secret poison of hell, "Knowing it will cause an explosion, which is both a blessing and a disaster." The second is the source angel, "As long as you are alive, the magician will only have six wings." These two settings are derived from a Western fantasy copy in "The Lord of Shenxiu". When I read it, I thought it was very interesting and I wanted to write it too.
The virtual realm and the secret poison are also extended from this as the starting point, and are also mixed with my thoughts on the setting of the "Girl, You Are Not Right" copy. However, I have also written about these contents in the summary of the first volume, so I will not repeat them here.
At the beginning of the fourth volume, I dug a hole for myself. Four angel hunts seemed too much, just like four consecutive Holy Grail Wars, which were boring. So I tried to have scenes that cannot be missed in every angel hunt. The first scene was the two queens taking charge of the Four Pillars and the meeting between Ash and Sonia. The second scene was the end of the first-round team and the spread of the secret poison of hell. The third scene was the encounter between Ash's team and the Veela team and the awakening of the silver lantern. The fourth scene was naturally the train chase. I hope to give readers who follow the book a good reading experience.
But because there are four angel hunts, I have enough time to describe the characteristics of each character. Little sheep Fili mustered up courage, little hedgehog Niya learned to approach, and the old-fashioned, cold and omnipotent Miss Yuan Angel finally smiled... I have always envied authors who can make characters come alive on paper with just a few strokes, but I can't do that. I can only honestly write out their cuteness bit by bit.
Unlike the first three volumes, the fourth volume is the most critical volume for Ash's change of mentality. In the first three volumes, Ash was drifting with the flow, struggling to survive between life and death, and saving Senluo was more due to Tamashi's request and coincidence, but in the fourth volume, his goal at the beginning was very firm, I just want to go back and date Sword Princess, I don't care about anything else, Filivi can use it if she can! But later he gradually changed his mind and tried to save the stars of Mirror Flower Water Moon, not only because of Fili and others, but also because after experiencing the end of Senluo, he felt that he was capable and qualified to do something. He wanted to try to challenge the Lord of God and fight against the so-called wheel of history.
Magicians are creatures who only know how to take. They never talk about empty words like responsibilities and obligations. Their only reason is always "I want to do it."
The third volume is about Ash's awakening, the fourth volume is about Ash's transformation, and the fifth volume is about Ash's... Transformation!

The number of words in this book is close to that of Small World, but it is much more difficult to write than Small World.
Not only because Ren Suo is a unit drama, but also because Ren Suo's paper strength has not improved much before the end, and Dong Chengling can only teleport over long distances, and their power is still within the range that society can accommodate. But Ya Xiu is different from Jian Ji and the others, they are already demigod magicians, just as An Nan expected, if Ya Xiu becomes the Supreme Lord one day, even if he is not interested, resources and power will naturally gather around him, and they can no longer live a peaceful and happy life.
More importantly, the main storyline of Small World is not the focus. Even if it is not there, you can still watch Ren Suo play the game, but the Sorcerer's Manual cannot be so easy.
There is another small difference, that is, there are no bad women among the heroines in the small world...

The title of the fifth volume is naturally "Six Levels of Hell". In fact, the general outline of the plot has been thought out, but I still need more scenes that can make my heart move, so I need to continue beating the outline god.
The fifth volume should not be long, and the sixth volume will wrap up the story. Although I really want to finish it before the New Year - you cannot understand an author's desire to have a good New Year - but it is probably not possible.
Because Tingri is the kind of player who needs inspiration every day, he talks to the operation officer about the plot from time to time, and sometimes he needs to cultivate his emotions, so the update is always unable to be on time. I hope everyone can understand.
As everyone guessed, during the days when I was writing Chasing the Train, I basically read No Game No Life Zero over and over again... I started writing when I had the right emotions.
Σ(っ°Д°;)っI have updated a total of 30,000 words in the past three days. It should be okay to take a day off, right
