End Scattered Flowers

When I finished writing the last word, my whole body relaxed, but my heart felt a little empty.

After more than a year, the book was finally finished, with 2.65 million words, not too much, but not too little.

In fact, I thought that there would not be so many words, about 2 million words, but I didn't expect to write so many words.

As for the reason, it is probably because unless there is a manuscript, the author is not sure about the length of a novel, just like "One Piece" was originally intended to be serialized for only five or six years, but now more than twenty years have passed.

Back to this book, the results are not very good, the collection is more than the previous book, and the subscription is not as good as the previous book.

In fact, there was a chance to exceed it, but because of the update (I guess this is the main reason), this book did not perform well.

When it comes to updates, there are actually many reasons.

The book was started in a hurry, and there were only 5 chapters of manuscripts saved, which were fully calculated, less than 20,000 words, and most of these saved manuscripts were used up when modifying the previous plots and changing the name of Yan Fei. As for why there are so many obscure names, in fact, the fundamental reason is that they do not want to have duplicate names. After all, a novel needs a villain. If you encounter a reader or a reader whose elder’s name coincides with the villain’s name, it will be somewhat embarrassing, or if it has the same name as a hero I don’t know, you will be 404, but forget that the reader may not I know, I didn't think about it, sorry.

But other characters are difficult to recognize, I admit, but the word "晗" really shouldn't be difficult to recognize, because there is a star named Lu Han, even if you don’t listen to his songs, watch the TV series and movies he made, entertainment News will come too, right?

In addition to the few manuscripts, in the middle of the year, I remember that it was July 1st, and something happened at home. A family member lost more than ten catties in a month, and, during the plain CT scan, Low-density shadows were found on an organ.

I lost weight rapidly in a short period of time, and my internal organs appeared shadows. At the same time, I also had corresponding symptoms. At that time, I had a bad feeling, and my family members also made the worst plans. And the enhanced CT can only be done on July 10th. During that time, not to mention tears, it was almost the same. I really don’t have the mood to write any more. Therefore, there was only one update per day for many days in a row (I really didn’t know how to write it at the time), which may be one of the reasons for the complete collapse of the novel’s grades.

I remember saying at the time that if something happens on July 10th, this book will end here. The reason is to wait for the results of enhanced ct. If the situation is really not optimistic, this book will really be tj.

Fortunately, no space-occupying lesions were found in the enhanced CT, and the family also began to pay attention to the body, slowly taking care of it, and the body is recovering. But this incident took me a lot of energy, and my state has not been adjusted.

The reason why I mentioned this matter to everyone is not to win sympathy, but to say that everyone may think that serious illness is far away from me. I thought so at the beginning, but in fact, it is very close to me. Years only.

So, checkups! Physical examination! Physical examination! (Say important things three times)

Whether you are working in a company or running your own business, you must pay attention to physical examination. For some diseases, the early and late stages are completely different diseases. It may be easy to solve in the early stage, but in the late stage, you may have to wait helplessly for that day to come (I really felt the powerlessness of feeling pain for my family but helpless during that time).

Another one is to pay attention to work and rest.

What money, what hobbies, what feelings, what dreams, are all worthless compared with the body. When a person is sick, it is not only the patient who is hurt, but also the family and all those who care about him.

Everyone should have heard about what happened in a certain Yi not long ago. The body is your own, so you must cherish it.

Again, back to the novel.

Although this novel is also a literary copy, it is not quite the same as the similar works that everyone has read. The reason is that the template of this comic is not those works, but "Dream Eater".

Once again, I recommend "Dream Eater" (also known as "The King of Boom") with conscience. Station b has all three seasons of animation, and the comic app of station b also has this comic. It is a small number of free comics in the comic app of station b. This manga was the last manga that made me stay up all night, and I haven't had this feeling in any other manga since then. That's why I said in the article that this manga is underrated.

When I first read this comic, it was really hard for me to imagine that a cartoon about cartoonists would be so good-looking. If I had the opportunity, I would also write a novel about cartoonists.

However, as many years passed, this dream was also forgotten. (Ha ha)

There is also a Japanese drama called "Reprinted Out", which uses the editor as the first perspective to tell about the comics industry. It is also very good, and I recommend it. This Japanese TV series is also adapted from a manga. The style of the manga may not suit everyone, right?

As for this book, I wrote a little bit of what I wanted to write. If it is scored according to 10 points, I think it should be 6.5 points, right?

Not using original works is the biggest deduction item for this comic. In addition, the "plagiarism" that should have been talked about and cannot be avoided is not mentioned in the article. The reason is that the protagonist Wen Chaogong itself is a kind of plagiarism. If Introducing plagiarism, this novel cannot be written, which is why I want to write an original story.

Compared with others, I still think plagiarism is more serious.

The original outline was to involve plagiarism in the "Soul of Chess", and the protagonist will start to create originality because of the plagiarism (this is why the protagonist's pen name is Shen Zheng, the original idea is to start in the third volume, the protagonist will Serialized under my real name), but I changed the outline to make a living. After all, original comics and Wenchaogong give readers a completely different sense of substitution.

The comics selected for this book should be more classic, why didn't they choose Sea of ​​Dead Fire. On the one hand, because these comics appear too frequently, there is no shortage of my book, and another more important reason is that the pace is too slow. These three shortest comics have been serialized for 15 or 16 years, and the model of this book is imitated from "Dream Eater". It takes more than ten years to draw a comic, no matter from which point of view, the pace is too slow.

As I wrote in the article, the reason why the protagonist of "Dream Eater" used so many short stories at the beginning is not only to show the growth of the protagonist, but also because of the rapid switching of works, so that new content can be added continuously. If you have read "Dream Eater", you should know that once the protagonist serializes a long story, the protagonist's space for activities is limited to the studio, which is determined by the nature of the cartoonist, but Shen Xin traveled through the past. Wenchao Guild is stupid. If Wenchao is public, it would be even more stupid not to choose comics that can be serialized for a long time, so they can only choose comics that are not so long and have good reputation and grades.

The novel is roughly divided into 4 parts. The first part is about the protagonist’s first entry into the comic circle. The second part chooses "Soul of Chess" because he wants to describe that if a cartoonist encounters a comic with a strong professional background, he will ask an expert to guide him. "Soul of Chess" It is the same with "The Spirit of Halberd Eater". The third part is about the change of the times, from paper media to online media. suitable. One more thing, it involves version d, Zuo Yuan's example is a bit exaggerated, but version d still does a lot of harm to the author. But this is like a coin, there are heads and tails, if there is a genuine one, there will be a pirated one (driven by profit), it is difficult to change the environment with the protagonist alone, this is the reality, so it is not too much for the d version In-depth discussion. The fourth part talks about the relationship between studios and cartoonists. In fact, this is the current form in China. There are few models like novels or "Dream Eater" in China. The reason is that it is too risky to do it alone. It is likely that you can only drink cold water for a year and a half.

In addition to plagiarism, it should be said that the content that can be used for discussion should be talked about.

Among the selected comics, I would like to talk about "Smelting Steel". This comic has its own uniqueness in terms of character creation, plot arrangement, and setting. I remember when Lex mentioned "Steel Refining", he said a word, after you watch the animation, you will find that this is a circle, which has been drawn from the beginning (roughly this is what it means). I didn't understand it at the time, and thought that the protagonist finally returned to his hometown, which meant the end. After thinking about it again, this circle should be mainly reflected in Edward - at first Edward did not know alchemy, but in order to save his mother, he learned alchemy, and lost Alphonse's body and his arm. In the end, he used In exchange for his own door of truth, he lost Alphonse's body, lost alchemy, but got his own arm.

As far as Edward himself is concerned, he has gained nothing (can no longer use alchemy), lost nothing (the arm is back, as for the leg, he deliberately did not want it back, because Wen Li has to be considered), and a big circle is drawn , inside the circle are all kinds of past experiences. This comic is definitely worth reading.

Here are a few questions:

1. Why doesn't the protagonist change jobs frequently?

Answer: From a practical point of view, frequent job-hopping is not conducive to the author's accumulation of popularity. Taking online novels as an example, the author of three websites has been changed in a row. You can take a look at the comparison of his popularity before and after job-hopping. Job-hopping is a very hurtful thing, unless it is from a small platform to a large platform. In the article, "comic future" and "Young Leap" are already the biggest platforms, where else can they jump?

Start a business?

This book is about cartoonists, not entrepreneurship. Therefore, the protagonist did not frequently change jobs, nor did he start a business.

2. Why are so many work operations/commercial matters involved? Cartoonists are all geeks, and the ranking of small books is not important to them/Why do they target each other?

A: Let me talk about the first one first. The advancement of the story must have conflicts. If everyone is a rational person, it is difficult to have conflicts. Therefore, generally speaking, it is necessary to lower the wisdom of the supporting characters (like Song Ren in the first volume, and many people are not satisfied with the result. In fact, everyone Sometimes it seems that the behavior of reducing intelligence actually exists). In addition to reducing intelligence, there is only a conflict of interest.

Be it online novels or comics, in the final analysis, they are commercial creations, and the works are sold to make more money. I think there is nothing to blame for this. Life is alive, isn't it just to survive? As for some great authors who can write novels for their feelings, it is because they have reached that stage, while other authors are not yet able. Just like Takehiko Inoue drew "The Vagabond", he can draw his own feelings in the comics, and even jump out of commercial creation, but how many cartoonists can do this?

As for the competition among cartoonists, the ranking of novels...is still the sentence in "Historical Records", "The world is prosperous, it is all for profit; the world is crowded, it is all for profit", this is the reality. There is no author who does not want his works to be seen by more people, and no author does not hope that he can make a lot of money by relying on his works. The former is fame and the latter is profit.

Having said so much, this book can be regarded as an end.

No matter what you think of this manga, it is over. I personally think that it is not bad. After all, we have talked about everything that can be said. It is good to leave some expectations. It is not an unfinished ending, right?

As for the comics drawn behind the protagonist, in addition to "Hunter x Hunter", there may be one of "Giant" and Dead Flame.

In short, in the future, all the partners with Shen Xin will be happy.

As for the next work, if there are no accidents, it should be original (hopefully), it may be related to another world, but it is not completely sure, and the opening time of the book is estimated to be in the next year. It's been a long time since I've celebrated the New Year with my family without serialization, and this year's Spring Festival is very early, probably in January? Taking this into consideration, it is unlikely to be serialized in January, because the editor will also be on vacation, and there will be no recommendations at that time.

After such a long time of serialization, I really feel that I still have a long way to go, and I still have a lot to learn. I also hope to produce better works, and I am worthy of everyone’s support, so please give me some time .

There is a bonus to the grades of opening novels, but if the works are not good, the grades will be difficult to come out, so it is better to blog.

Finally, thank you for your support for such a long time, and thank you Tuba Kyushu for still supporting me when this book was the most difficult.
