Kingdom’s Bloodline

Q: According to your outline and at the current pace, it would take 20 million words to finish the book, right? After all, the protagonist is only 13 years old now. A: This question also gives me a headache. I always feel that there are too many things in my mind waiting for me to write them out, but... Alas. I used to discuss "what to write a new book" with other authors, but now I am ready to write only one book in my creative career. You don't know how much I miss the time when I was not an author and how happy I was as a pure reader. Q: What do you think is the biggest problem in writing now? Is it because I can't write it or because I don't want to do it because I don't have enough income? A: The problem with the current writing of King's Blood is that the stories and outlines of many volumes (starting from ten volumes) are already available, but the connection and order between them are a bit confusing, and they are more like independent unit dramas (for example, the first book of "The Witcher" is like this, Geralt goes around slaying demons, one story per chapter). But the story of King Blood takes place in an orderly time and space, connected before and after, and cannot be broken, so now I have a headache how to deal with these disconnected volumes, to re-glue them, and to connect the process and ending. So now I know where Thales came from and where he is going, but the memories in between are fragmented. It feels like I have lost my memory and I have to piece it together piece by piece based on the causes and consequences. But now there is a big problem with the splicing logic, and I, who have obsessive-compulsive disorder, can't stand it. I want to overturn this big chapter and start over, which affects the writing efficiency. As for income, the financial pressure was indeed great last year, but I have recovered and now I will not stop looking for extra money just because I can't get rid of the problem. Q: If the outline and plot direction are clear and unchanging, can I write it to the end first and then come back to revise it? Otherwise, it will be difficult to know whether the changes are good or bad. A: I did do this (so there are many extras in the novel that are different in time and space from the main plot), and I also wrote many subsequent plot chapters. However, the online novel is serialized in order after all. It cannot be like an exam. If you encounter a question that you don't know how to do, you can skip it, answer the next question and get points. Q: I have always wondered why you used the same female character as the trigger for two events. It seems like you are reusing characters? I mean Adele. A: This involves spoilers, so I can't say more. Q: My problem is that the recent plot of King's Blood (actually several months ago) makes me feel a little out of place. After the little prince packed up the thornhead and the crow, he went to the desert. We felt that he had matured and upgraded. Then after arriving in the star territory, he began to weaken, as if he had been downgraded. Later, he found his anchor in the Prison of Bones. It should be said that his spirit and combat power were upgraded again. However, after leaving the Prison of Bones, he began to feel downgraded again, and then began to weaken again. , Mental attributes and strength fluctuate greatly A: Many readers are criticizing this issue, with comments such as "IQ fluctuates high and low," but I don't think you should be too harsh on Thales. He is an ordinary person. He cannot cross a certain virtual threshold forever after upgrading once, and then never make the same mistakes or fall into the same trap again, because life and situations are always changing, everything under the sun is new, and every challenge has its own difficulty and characteristics. To take a step back, even if his spirit and strength fluctuate, it is normal. He is not a saint or a hero. He is just a person like you and me, struggling to survive in life every day. Q: I saw someone say on Zhihu that the biggest problem with this book is that the spear is too sharp and the shield is too brittle, which means that it is easy to kill someone, but it is very difficult to protect a person. Even if you are a master, except for bodyguards and subordinates, you have no way to protect yourself. Life is too hard. This is illogical. A: I can completely understand the issue of spears and shields. That's right, from the streets of Shijing to the palace, Wang Xue's novels present too little righteousness, too much evil, too little light, too deep darkness, too little positive energy, too thick poisonous chicken soup, too short righteousness songs, and too long thick black studies. They often give people a dark and surprising feeling, which can make reading unbalanced and frustrating, just like Lu Xun wrote a crow representing hope at the end even in the dark "Medicine". But my thoughts are actually written in the introduction: darkness washes away light, and fire forges real steel. The darker the night, the more valuable and dazzling the light is (in fact, these images are very obvious in the dungeon chapter). What's more, who knows that the reality we live in, and what happens in some corners, won't be darker than King's Blood? Q: Why does everyone have a deep past, everyone has an incredible IQ, and no one is stupid? A: Everyone has a sad past. This issue must be admitted. In the past, some readers criticized that "most of the characters in the book are too tired and too serious." On the one hand, it is because I want to present each character in a three-dimensional way like an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Come, but since you don't have the ability to carve out a simple painting and make a living without rice, you can only enrich and enrich the presentation of the character through the content (the character's experience) (in fact, the real masters have the ability to leave blank spaces for deep thought and see the truth in trivial matters), which makes everyone's experience seem very complicated. And dramatic. On the other hand, I studied psychology and sociology, and I insist that the process of socialization is extremely important to the formation of people, so I have some superstition that "experience shapes character", and I am obsessed with describing the characteristics of characters through experience; in the end, I still Because I have too little life experience, what I can best understand is the scene in my youth, where unforgettable strong emotional impulses affect the characters. It is difficult to understand the master's work of seeing the big from the small, describing the characters subtly and slowly, and realizing the flowers blooming on the road and slowly returning. The problem of Wang Xue's high IQ is actually a question of "Why are there no normal people in the book?" In the final analysis, it is still limited by my experience and ability. I am used to dramatic and stage-based presentations. Many times, I am no longer adaptable to scenes that are too ordinary and too life-like (I also have a headache about this, saying After all, I still read too little), I am used to using gold and jade, and it is difficult to turn it into a classic Q: I feel that there are very few coincidences in this book, and almost every incident has a hidden conspiracy. Moreover, the story is very fast-paced. In just one month, countless major events have happened. Will it feel like a "crowded" feeling? A: There are few coincidences. Well, I have also reflected on this. The conclusion is that my sociology major is to blame. I wrote too many papers in the past and was "too superstitious about causal inferences." I am working hard to get rid of this obsessive-compulsive disorder. In the next seventh volume, I will start to write about some daily events that will have a wide impact on the future, but do not produce tension and immediate effects. I will loosen the intense connection between the big plots and see how it works. And yes, I wrote King of Blood according to the rhythm of American dramas from the beginning. This is also the influence of "Ice and Fire" and the drama version of "Game of Thrones" on me. At present, because I have too little writing experience, I have not found a good solution. I can only write more, hoping that time and experience will be the best antidote. Q: The bear girl in Game of Thrones has already been eaten. Will you let your Countess of Blade be eaten? A: I think the life and death of a character depends on whether he/she has realized the value positioned in the book. Although Xiao Xiong died young, she has all the value in the play (a tear-jerking character who is young and carries heavy responsibilities, which is unconventional). The image of a tough girl, a loyal northern supporter who keeps her word, and her heroic sacrifice in the subsequent life-and-death battle) has been perfectly realized, so I feel that Little Bear Girl is not dead. She has fulfilled all the author's expectations and will live forever in the hearts of readers. The same principle can be proved by the Duchess of Blades.

The devil is always there, but the devil is silent.

ps: The title of the volume is really interesting, I personally support the option 3vip version, the more Wujian writes, the better! In addition, I call upon His Majesty, the Sword of the Sun, to return from cultivation as soon as possible...

In 2050, I discovered a good book at Qidian. It was called "Bloodline of the Kingdom". The plot was compact and substantial. I finished reading it and updated the chapters without realizing it. After months of hard work, it should be fun to watch it again! But I don't know why, but my friend showed pity in his eyes when he heard it?! No matter! You must spend the day off tomorrow to see him!

I have just read "Return to the Country", and I have some thoughts. So far, I think the Salinger section is the peak of the book, but then things took a turn for the worse. First of all, there is the issue of rhythm. Whether it is an online article or a popular literary work, it must be relaxed. To put it simply, it is to give the reader a period of rest after a climax before entering the next climax. But as for the blood of the kingdom, from the opening of the air magician, to the blood clan, to the kingdom meeting later, then to the blood magician, then to the Broken Dragon Fortress, the magic gun force, Nun VII and the Grand Duke of Fengzhao City, and then Immediately, there are dragons and disasters, and then Desert Return, and the Prison of Bones. If you think about it carefully, this book is more than 500 chapters long and more than 3 million words long. Except for a few chapters in the middle and the plot of Selma, it is all climax. It completely violates the so-called relaxation and restraint. Readers are really tired after reading it for a long time. The reason why climax is called climax is precisely because it corresponds to relaxation. If a book continues to climax, it is not a climax, but torture. Second, this is also the most important point in my opinion, the growth of the protagonist. This is a point that must be paid attention to in any novel. What I am referring to is not the growth of the power of ending or magic energy in the narrow sense, but the growth of the protagonist as a whole. But so far in this book, I have not seen growth. Thales from the beggar period to the beginning Becoming a prince will always be like hesitating, feeling cold, frightened, trembling, and pale. I can understand all these. It is normal. After all, if you suddenly rise from a beggar to the position of the sole heir of the kingdom, you will be panicked. This is the sense of substitution. However, after six years of life in the North, the protagonist has experienced a lot. , But after returning to the country, he was still hesitating, shivering, frightened, trembling, pale, and panicked. This is very abnormal. It feels like the protagonist has lived in vain for the past six years. To put it simply, if you compare Thales when he was a beggar with Thales after returning to the country for six years, you will find that there is no difference between them. In other words, the difference is not big enough for readers to feel that the protagonist has grown, which will make readers lose their sense of involvement and create boredom. This does not mean that the protagonist cannot be abused. Those who can see this are not readers who are afraid of abusing the protagonist, but it is meaningful to abuse the protagonist. The protagonist must be allowed to grow, rather than abusing the protagonist for the sake of abusing the protagonist. This is picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon. Finally, I am not saying this to abandon the book or to criticize it for being useless. On the contrary, I can say without hesitation that this book is the first starting point for Western fantasy in my mind. The shortcomings I mentioned above are not enough to cover up its excellence. I will continue to subscribe to it in the future. I am not concluding that my opinions are necessarily correct. I just hope that if the author can read my comments, he can think about these issues for a while. Also, be sure not to be a eunuch 😰😰😰

Can you recommend any novels with similar IQ online and well-designed world structures similar to Kingdom Blood? By the way, I am following Tomorrow and the Extraordinary Noble.

With the latest chapter update, it is still a wonderful chapter. I really didn't expect such a development. I once again felt the gap in IQ. Sure enough, King's Blood is a masterpiece. As I replayed it several times, I became more and more convinced of this idea. This is truly a well-crafted masterpiece, although it is painful to say as a reader. If there are new readers, please listen to me, this is an almost perfect work except for the update speed. (Personal opinion only) Please keep in mind that the characters in this book lie and act, and what the characters say and do at the time may not be true. This is a very important thing, and I wish you all a happy viewing.

Can you help me think of some pictures that are suitable for which chapters and characters or scenes and plots? It has been so long that I have forgotten or I am too lazy to look through them. Mainly I have forgotten them all

Comrades, it should be said that it is the third anniversary. Kingdom has written 2.72 Million words, which is equivalent to an average of 2489 words per chapter. If you want to be like a master who updates one chapter every day, do you not have to worry about the update speed? Hahahahaha

In the past few months, after reading traditional Western fantasies such as The Wheel of Time, Assassin's Story, Shadow of the Raven, Son of the Mist, Stormlight, and Reminiscences of Sorrow and Thorns, I discovered that many domestic authors have only learned some basic settings of Western fantasy. After removing the outer layer of Western fantasy, they are still traditional fantasy novels, filled with ideological toxins such as stallions, Long Aotian, extreme egoism, and money worship. Wu Jian is a novel that is rare because of the following points: 1. The background of traditional Western fantasy is often a duel between light and darkness. Although it can create a strong sense of epicness, it makes readers feel depressive and makes the article very heavy, especially in super classics like The Wheel of Time. A long story would be too depressing and not very conducive to the unfolding of the scene. The protagonist often shoulders a major mission, and various prophecies are mixed during the period, which makes the sense of fate very strong. Coupled with the dark threat behind it, the whole article becomes very depressing and a bit breathless. As for some Chinese Western Fantasy, including this book by Wu Jian, because we have lived under the light of Marxism since we were young, our works reveal a kind of brilliance of humanity, with a heroic spirit and humanistic sentiment that man can conquer nature. The layout and development of the entire story are not limited to light and darkness, justice and evil, which makes the characters and stories more three-dimensional, and also eliminates the suffocating sense of depression of traditional Western fantasy. 2. Putting aside the background framework of traditional Western fantasy, in fact, the greatest advantage of traditional Western fantasy lies in the description of character growth. The characters in the story undergo various events, mentality, outlook, and personality changes, giving the characters flesh and blood and vitality. In fact, in traditional Western fantasy, the core of the character's growth is the word choice. Through step-by-step choices, the character ultimately determines whether to redeem or fall. During this period, the character's image is enriched and vividly reflected on the paper. Although Thales has gone through so many events in Wujian's book, the character growth and transformation are not well written. He always encounters problems, tries to solve them with wit, fails, and then goes through enlightenment and finally succeeds. This is one of the few shortcomings of this novel. However, as far as this selection is concerned, it still captures the essence of traditional Western fantasy. 3. There is a lot of positive energy. Although the character of Thales seems a little too precocious and witty, the protagonist who has experienced so many hardships and obstacles still does not forget his original intention and works hard to save others. It is also a process of self-salvation. In fact, many netizens think that dark streaming is very real and affordable, and can solve many problems. In fact, this is an immature idea, or an impetuous idea. As Kaladin's father said in Stormlight, there are only two kinds of people in the world, those who kill and those who save. Young Kaladin felt that there was another kind of person who killed people to save others. But his father said that you can't save people by killing people. This is actually the different levels of understanding of the word save. Kaladin understood that the word save means saving life, while his father understood that the word save meant salvation. Finally, after many hardships, Kaladin finally understood this truth at the last moment of redemption and fall. Writing to carry the truth does not mean that the article should talk about great principles, but it is a requirement to have a positive impact on the development of human civilization. After reading this book by Wu Jian, I can't say that Thales is a sage or virtuous person for what he did, but at least I can pat my chest and say that he is a good person, which is rare in today's Internet literature world. 4. Regarding the portrayal of supporting characters, the biggest advantage of this book is that the IQs of other characters are basically online, and the characteristics of various characters are relatively distinctive, such as the unfathomable King Kessel, the fierce and fiery Nikolai, the rebellious and kind-hearted Quick Rope, the silent and loyal Yodel, the elegant and mysterious Asheida, the cold-hearted Lumba, the proud and eccentric Williams, the upright Barney, etc. These characters are not only online in IQ, but also flesh and blood, with a strong sense of three-dimensionality. There are many advantages and some flaws, so I won't talk about them today. It's too late, I'm sleepy π_π
