As An Immortal, I Had To Pretend To Be A Vampire - ~ closing speech
Concluding remarks
It’s the second time I’ve written my closing speech.
Friends who have followed the first book should know that when I wrote the first book and put it on the shelves, I happened to be stuck at home due to the epidemic and lost my job.
At that time, because of my poor grades, I originally planned to give up writing novels.
But at that time, Xinjia’s editor Penglai suddenly asked me if I had any plans to start a new book.
To be honest, I was quite surprised. With the results of my first book, there are still editors who remember me, which really touches me.
So I decided to give myself a chance and write another one.
Then, the results of this book far exceeded my expectations, and it gave me the foundation to make a living from writing. Fortunately, I didn’t choose to give up at that time.
Back to the topic, I am not satisfied with this book, there are too many shortcomings and deficiencies.
First of all, there is the issue of the outline. The outline was rushed at the beginning of the book, which led to multiple revisions in the mid-term. Many friends felt that the plot suddenly sped up when they read the volume of the Tokyo Incident.
The revision of the outline has caused problems with the continuity and rhythm of the plot, which is also the main reason why the book began to collapse in the middle and late stages, and then ended hastily.
Then there is the problem of characters, there are too many female characters.
Originally, I planned to write two or three main female characters, but I couldn’t control my hand, and I ended up writing more and more.
The more female characters in the harem, the better, because there is not enough space to shape the characters. In addition, I revised the outline and cut off many unnecessary branches, and I cut off many independent chapters of female characters.
This leads to very thin female characters that appear in the middle and late stages, and some of them are thrown aside just half way through.
Many people criticized Rin Kanzaki, the heroine, who became a pure tool person in the later stage, because many of her plots were lost or transferred to other characters.
Then there is the issue of the plot. According to the original outline, it is intended to focus on the description of the undead protagonist being misunderstood as a vampire, which triggers a series of comic effects and conflicts.
As a result, it was written that it still turned to the routine of practicing and upgrading. This is also the fault of the outline that has been revised many times.
Finally, there is a question about the protagonist himself.
Fang Cheng’s mouth was too poisonous at the beginning, which disgusted many people. Later, I reduced his poisonous tongue, but this person suddenly lost his characteristics and charm.
Also, his golden finger settings are not very good. At first, the ability to absorb enemies looks pretty good, but in the later stage, the ability to absorb too much, resulting in many abilities being left to eat dust, and there is no sense of expectation at all.
I have written so many shortcomings, not to say that this book is useless, but to tell everyone that I have recognized some problems and shortcomings encountered in the writing process, and will strive to improve and do better in the next book.
The new book is already being prepared, but I have to rest for a while, and I can’t start the book right away, because the lumbar muscle strain and tenosynovitis caused by sedentary work are a bit serious, and I need to keep fit.
I will strive to open a new book within two months, and I hope everyone will continue to support it.
Thank you friends who have followed up to the end, thank you for your support!
Thanks! Goodbye! (*^▽^*)
