Oh My God? Is there really a science fiction novel in the science fiction section? . (⊙o⊙)
It's a pity
Although the author has made considerable achievements in the field of physical science fiction, online novels, especially online science fiction novels, follow a completely different logic from physical science fiction. As the author said in the preface, a physical novel of 200,000 words can be published, with three reviews and three proofreads. During this period, it has undergone continuous polishing and revision by the author, trying to present it as perfectly as possible. Both editors and readers will measure this work based on the two hundred thousand as a whole. But online articles are different. The only criterion for judging online articles is the readers. Internet readers are the most cunning, mean, despicable, innocent, lovely and pure people in the world. To put it simply, they only see whether what you write can attract them and bring them happiness. But the author still adheres to the traditional creative habits and believes that as long as you describe a huge and real science fiction world, add a little gimmick and suspense, you can seduce this group of readers to continue reading. But in fact, they are accustomed to the combination of fast-paced, strong emotions and high narrative online novels, and they are not naturally the audience for physical science fiction. Even if The Three-Body Problem was serialized at the starting point, it would be difficult to achieve good results. So, although it is good for the dragon to cross the river, you must also understand the rules of local snakes. I hope the author will think twice.
It's so difficult to write so well
It is already a well-written hard science fiction, but it was so difficult at the beginning. How do other authors live? No wonder almost all editors reject hard science fiction when they see it. There are no exceptions. No matter how good the writing is, they will reject the manuscript. They even directly say that they will reject the manuscript even if the Three-Body Problem comes. This difficulty is really helpless.
Orange🍊, if you don't use your pen name and write another novel like this anonymously, how many people will read it? The books written by masters such as Greg Egan, Ted Chiang, Lem, etc. On the starting point are read by very few people, and some are barely read by a few people. However, Qidian's pseudo-science fiction, pseudo-hardcore science fiction, etc. Are seeing huge traffic. It's so ridiculous and ironic.
Well... The author's creative concept is good. It's just that I haven't adapted and found the balance between online novels and traditional literature. For this novel, it can actually be regarded as a great attempt by the author. The author must do his best. But at the same time, if the author has time, he can read some other science fiction online novels for reference. Even if it's pseudo-sci-fi with a layer of skin, it's okay. The so-called reading is beneficial. As long as you read a lot, you will always have some ideas in your mind, and you will always have some new insights and rhythm. But at the same time, this is also a test of willpower. Because this is doomed to be thankless. The royalties are bleak and it's hard to get anything back. And because it is an experimental stage, the story may not be perfect. When this novel reaches a certain stage and becomes stuck or finished, I hope the author can look back at the novel and reflect on it. Summarize the experience. When I have time to switch to another battle in the future, I will write again and strive to be better, and continue to make mistakes and polish. Regarding the trend of online science fiction novels, we can only hope that latecomers will find a suitable path through their continuous attempts and explorations. Then a large number of authors imitated, innovated, opened up new paths, and ushered in vitality. The author can actually read more science fiction novels of the same type to break them down and look for interesting plots. Change the angle and rhythm. Experience the rhythm, narrative style, and other techniques of online novels. It is not easy to create excellent science fiction novels, especially online science fiction novels. I hope the author will gain more insights after reading this and form a new creative theory suitable for online science fiction novels as soon as possible. Come on! 😡😡😡
I would like to recommend a hard science fiction book for newcomers.
The Star Disappears: Starting from a Suicide Note The writing is also very good, but there is no contract and no traffic, so I will help him promote it. I was really afraid that he would cut up the book and run away.
Reviewed after reading 50 chapters
Writing style: first-rate (master level) Creativity: second-rate (similar creativity is not uncommon) Plot: second-rate (more narrative style) Rhythm: third-rate (lack of obvious development, turning point, climax) Emotion: third-rate (except mystery, no other conflicts and emotions) However, in excellent online works, emotion accounts for 25%, rhythm 20%, plot 25%, creativity 20%, writing 5%, and other 5%. This is not counting some perspective issues. For example, a sense of substitution. Just need a protagonist. Even in The Three-Body Problem, each of the three volumes has a core character, which is why readers can identify with it from the beginning. In this book, it is too scattered. The protagonist's characteristics in the first few chapters are not prominent, and readers cannot relate to him. If you can't substitute, it becomes like reading a popular science article. You need to read many chapters to slowly anchor a character. The transition during this period is a bit long, and readers of online articles may not wait. Secondly, it is the habit of hard science fiction, supplemented by documentary. For example, if a person talks about a certain phenomenon, others will bring up a lot of historical events and quote scriptures to supplement the phenomenon. It's okay once or twice, but too many make it look cumbersome to readers and have nothing to do with the plot. It seems to be a good-quality science popularization, but in fact, removing it has no impact on the overall plot. So it is easy to skip it when reading it, and it is easy to discard the whole book if you read it too many times. The biggest difference between traditional science fiction and online science fiction. One is about writing about things, and the other is about writing about people. If you really want to write a harder science fiction book for the Internet, scanning the rankings is a must. You must read at least the first twenty best-selling books and the first one hundred chapters of each book. The second is to completely abandon the traditional science fiction writing system and fully embrace the Internet writing system. When you find that you have really understood Internet writing and can see that there is a highly purified core hidden in the seemingly superficial articles of Internet writing, you can then pick up the traditional science fiction writing system. Combining the two, maybe it will be successful. If you don't care about the income or the type of circle, and just want to publish a traditional science fiction book in the online literary circle, then just pretend that I didn't say anything.
Some questions
After reading some chapters and reading the author's acceptance speech, I feel that the author's attitude is not correct. I would like to ask Chengzi a question: Do you think there is no overlap in the audience between traditional science fiction and online science fiction? You always emphasize too much. I used to write traditional science fiction, and I have never written online science fiction, so I am not accustomed to it. But this is not the case. Readers just want to see an interesting story. Really interesting ideas and ideas will find an audience whether they are published online or in physical publication. Science fiction is essentially just a genre of literature, and while you emphasize that you write traditional science fiction, you are also invisibly pitting two people against each other. I still have some deep-rooted stereotypes in my heart. It seems that sci-fi in online literature is about trapping, fantasy, upgrades, brainless fun, etc. I always feel that I have to cater to these to have a market. But in fact, as long as the story is compelling, no one cares whether you have the skills to use web writing, and no one will say that because you are not good at writing web writing, I won't read it no matter how beautiful it is. No reader will have trouble with good-looking writing. But then again, where is your awesome idea? ? I can't find it! The various details in the front create a hard science fiction feel, but in the back it is straight into a space opera, which is so soft!
It's easy to get acclimated, but I still support it.
No matter what, it's always a good thing to have more excellent works
After reading one chapter, I feel that every paragraph uses conjunctions such as actually, in fact, but, and especially, which breaks the feeling of science fiction text into pieces. I have read all Liu Cixin's novels. The difference between Liu Cixin's science fiction novels and ordinary people's is that one is imagination and the other is the cold writing style. In short, hard science fiction is not easy, I hope the author can gain something.
You can check out the Realistic Programming Association. The rhythm is more suitable for web writing and it also has elements of science fiction.
Come on Brother Orange!
Hard science fiction with a rare starting point will definitely get better and better!
It is a very hard-core novel, but the audience is screened so that people like me who are accustomed to reading word for word can read it, but it is not very friendly to Internet readers.
To be honest, I just saw this science fiction article today. In my mind, the last time I saw this kind of "hard science fiction" in Dian Niang was the Alienation of the Solar System and the old books on Deep Space Wandering Fleet. I haven't had this throbbing feeling in a long time. Come on.
The beginning is too confusing and there is no obvious connection between the chapters. It feels like imitating Guy and Ritchie's techniques, but the movie can be shot like that and the book written like that, so it's not very easy to attract readers.
The introduction is scary. But when I start reading novels, I still have to consider entertainment. Purely hard science fiction may not be suitable for the local environment.
The title of the book doesn't work
Just like the title, the title of the book is not enough. In XX Sky, there is a particularly classic book "Fights Break the Sky", which makes people subconsciously think that it is an ancient fantasy or fairy tale. Although it has a science fiction label, the title of the book is obviously too much than the label.
The real thing is indeed lagging behind online writing. This book makes my head hurt.
Due to work reasons, I listened to a book for four or five hours. I probably listened to more than thirty chapters. There were a lot of questions, so I won't go into details. When I came in and saw that it was an entity boss, I was suddenly relieved.
How should I put it? For mature authors to seek advice from readers who are not familiar with their field is actually doing themselves a disservice. The business logic of Qidian does account for a large part, but a book that does not have its own ideological aesthetic that simply conforms to business logic will become a pile of useless characters after a few months. Books that can be read from the starting point all have their own unique author's aesthetics.
My current thoughts on this book
Excluding the existence of the two bug types, Apocalypse and Destroyer, the rest of this book can only be described as a long section of popular science articles. They have manipulated the dimensions of time and space, and they are still punching and kicking? ! Either the author lacks imagination or his writing power is limited. As a reader who has loved reading science fiction novels since I was a child, my feeling is that it either relies on grand ideas or on the ingenious combination of science fiction concepts and reality. This kind of content is a bit disjointed at the moment.
Come on!
It feels more and more like fantasy
The plot is becoming more and more fantasy now, and the style is different from the previous one.
Watching two high-energy particle streams occur one after another when the stars are shining reminded me of this book. The book was off the market and the movie was also withdrawn. Alas.
The pace is so slow, and the focus of the physical and online articles is still somewhat different.
Why can't I vote for a monthly vote
At first I thought it was about a certain black-eyed guy
It turns out that it is actually a real hard science fiction, yes, come on. 🤓
I'm a bit confused. The author has won many science fiction awards and uses them for publicity. This is considered normal. The question is, if you know so many sci-fi celebrities, why use their popularity for publicity? Did you get their permission? Wouldn't this infringe on their right to name?
