Lord of Pets - ~ ★Concluding remarks of "Lord of Beasts" (13,000 words!)
Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang! On December 21, 2022, the newcomer to the starting point male channel Pujie·Black Pepper Immortal will finally complete his debut work!
This book was published on January 9, 2021, and it lasted 711 days. During the serialization period, although the number of explosions was better than none, it never broke. Based on this alone, we have to be a little arrogant, I was able to fulfill the requirements for myself before the book was opened, and it ended satisfactorily. It can be said that it greatly exceeded expectations, and I am very satisfied!
Before telling about my growth experience and the insights gained from writing, please allow me to face all readers and friends who love the book "Lord of Beasts". Because of your love, this book has come from nothing to today. Your support and approval, without your approval, admiration, criticism, suggestion... just let me send a message for love alone - sorry, I can't do it!
Below, the text begins.
Since it is the closing speech, Black Pepper wants to share everything about this book as much as possible.
Of course, if there are too many thoughts, or if there is something that overturns everyone's previous perceptions and guesses about me... the dog's head saves my life!
(ps: The conclusion of this article is roughly divided into two parts. The first part is "Creative Experience", which focuses on my growth and mentality changes in the past two years. If you find it boring, you can skip it and go directly to [Chat Let’s talk about "Lord of Beasts"])
—————
【Creative experience】
Regarding creation, it can be roughly divided into four stages, namely:
"The Mental Journey and Preparations Before Opening the Book"
"Uneasy early days"
"Mid-term struggle"
"Happy late stage".
———————
●【Mental journey and preparation before opening the book】
To put it simply, I have a hard head. After resigning from my last job, I was at a loss and confused about what I wanted to do, what I could do, and how to measure the difference between giving and rewarding.
So I picked up my boyhood dream again, wanting to support myself through writing.
There have been countless times in the past that I wanted to embark on this path, but I always stayed on "thinking" without putting in practice.
This time, I acted.
When I was a teenager, I didn't play much.
But books must be an indispensable companion.
When I was young, Pipiru, Lu Xixi, Shuke Beta, Ma Xiaotiao, Xiaobuhuhu series, messy masterpieces, messy comics, messy magazines... these are the corners of the sky when I was young.
Then in junior high school, I came into contact with online literature, which opened the door to a new world, and it was out of control.
It turns out that there are so many bizarre fantasy stories in the world.
It turns out that there are still so many ups and downs in the world.
I remember that at that time, I didn’t have the concept of genuine and pirated copies. When I found a good-looking novel, I would try my best to download it to the learning machine to read. Sometimes I couldn’t find a complete txt file, so I just read it chapter by chapter. Copy and paste, the whole process is very cumbersome.
But I never feel tired, as long as I think that I still have countless novels that I haven't had a chance to read, it's like entering a treasure cave.
As far as the book I'm catching up, the next 100 chapters have already been downloaded.
And these 100 chapters can at least bring me a few hours of happiness.
The mood that rises for this can be described as cheering.
—My youth, at least one-third of the happiness, is endowed by all kinds of stories.
————
Then, as I grow older and read more and more online articles, my taste will inevitably become picky.
The idea that I want to write my own story has been born in my mind more than once, lingering, and jumping out repeatedly.
In fact, I tried it when I was a student, but because of the three-minute heat, I never really got started, and I was stillborn.
(For example, I will write a lot of miscellaneous background settings, but I can't piece them together at all, and I can't link all kinds of characters together. Even if I sit in front of the computer and think hard for a long time, I don't know how to write.)
Later, that is, the end of 2020.
After the last period of work, I lost my sense of direction and decided to push myself.
[If you still can’t start writing, or only ideas linger in your mind and can’t be realized, it means that you are not qualified to take this path. Why don’t you simply give up unrealistic ideas and think about other directions. 】
I found that when I forced myself with the belief of "give up if you don't succeed", I was no longer a three-minute enthusiasm. A stumbling block.
Although, I dare not say that it is invincible.
But today, looking back on the past 710 days, I can confidently say to myself - you did it!
These are part of my mental journey before opening the book.
And the preparation I made was based on my own deep understanding that I am too far away from a mature author's skills.
For example, the word count of the daily update, as a reader, I also feel that the author with a daily update of 4,000 words is short and weak.
But for me who forcibly hangs the label of "writer" and has just explored in this direction, 4000 words is really the limit.
In the first three months, it may take me 5 hours just to write 2,000 words.
Coupled with ideas, I racked my brains for 10-12 hours a day, and it may only be 3000 words.
And these 3,000 words may not be able to meet the quality.
When I confirmed my writing ability and couldn't even reach the basic passing line, I thought of a way - I want to collect manuscripts!
The plan I made is to collect 100,000 words first and then publish the article, so that when I publish the article, maybe my writing ability will be sharpened to a certain extent, just enough to catch the update rhythm after the official book is opened.
Everything was as I wished. When I collected about 48 chapters of the manuscript, I calculated the time to put it on the shelves, and I just reserved a free period of 200,000 words.
So, whether it is a mule or a horse, it is time for the market to test it out.
January 9, 2021.
This is not my first day of creation, but it is my very important first day as an "author".
Only this day, because of testing the waters, I only published one chapter.
But this day, I may always remember.
Able to see the book cover made by oneself
(Yes! Although some people seem to complain that the book cover is ugly, but as a debut work, the cover is made by myself, and the sense of ceremony must be full!)
Introduction to hand-designed
(The introduction at the beginning was full of youthful flavor, and I couldn't bear to look directly at it. Later, it was changed in time, and the speed of readers' influx became faster.)
and the most important text
(The first chapter has actually been revised many times. In the original version, the dialogue is even more embarrassing than it is now. I can dig out four rooms and one living room myself.)
When I saw these things, they really appeared on the platform, and I was able to read them as a reader, besides the excitement, I was full of anxiety.
—All my plans are based on the smooth situation.
What is success?
Answer: Sign the contract.
In the first book, I didn't think about what kind of achievements or heights the lion would directly achieve.
I just think, I want to take action, I want to try through practice, whether I can take this path, and whether I can obtain certain benefits from the things I love.
The first book, my requirement is food and clothing.
It is not advisable to generate electricity for love, and you must not mindlessly create with yourself as the center.
Only by putting money in an important position, and then incorporating personal color or characteristics, can writing be endowed with a stronger and more profound meaning, as well as the motivation to persist.
The first book, as long as it can meet my basic survival needs, the others are right to practice writing.
Writing 1 million words is an experience of 1 million words.
Writing 2 million words is an experience of 2 million words.
Only by continuous reading (input), continuous writing (output), and continuous review (reflection) can we walk on the road of growth.
These are my clear cognitions about myself before I open the book.
I hope that unless it's illness or other force majeure factors, I'd better not show up for continuous updates.
(I did it! Akimbo!)
I hope that the story of the first book may not be brilliant, but in terms of the degree of completion of the work, it should be as complete as possible. If it can cover the plots of each stage in the early, middle, late, and late stages, it will allow me to fully understand the different stages. The author needs to face the test, so it must be very important for me to learn from these experiences.
(Should, probably, maybe, I did too!)
With anticipation and apprehension, I embarked on my own growth path.
—————
●【Uneasy Early Stage】
With 100,000 manuscripts in hand, this feeling is like holding a large sum of money.
Of course I was eager to share my story quickly and tell readers what incredible things happened next.
But I reminded myself over and over again that this is a manuscript saved to ensure a stable update, hold back, hold back, must hold back.
Then, in the early stage of writing, I can probably use "painful and happy" to describe myself.
After posting the article, cuties flooded in one after another. I opened the app at least fifty times a day to read book reviews, recommendation tickets, and various statistics.
Everything is new at this stage.
Readers' positive comments, even just a few words, can bring me infinite happiness and a sense of accomplishment.
But there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people, and soon, the negative comments came naturally.
At that stage, I was too ignorant, and I still thought about arguing, and wanted to use my own language to justify one or two of my stories.
(Now, I only reply to reviews like this on rare occasions.)
(One is because I can’t satisfy all readers, as long as I grasp what I can grasp, that’s enough, and I can’t force others.)
(Another one, the more I write, the more I know my own shortcomings. Some things may be foreshadowing, which I can consider, but I haven’t revealed them yet;)
(There are also some, there are indeed flaws or flaws, and they are not logically self-consistent, and any of my defenses seem pale.)
(So after going through the defense stage, my ideal state is to let readers find clues and answers through the content of the main text.)
(If not, in most cases, it is not the reader's problem, but my writing skills are not exquisite enough, the depth of consideration is not enough, and the written words are too vulgar... These are the progress that I should always be alert and try hard for space.)
When there were more and more evaluations, I fell into an unprecedented hurdle—signing a contract!
Normally, when a new book enters the library, there may be editors browsing it when there are perhaps 20,000 to 30,000 words.
I wrote 50,000 words at the time, but I still didn't receive a short message, which means that the first round of editors didn't like my story.
However, failing to sign a contract with more than 50,000 words is almost inseparable, and there is a high probability that he will be sentenced to death.
I kept asking myself at that time, what is the point of my story, is it worth reading by readers?
I thought about it over and over again, and I still think there is.
In addition, my saved manuscripts have not been exhausted, so if you want me to give up here, how can it be, how can it be possible.
I continued to insist, but within a few days, when it was close to 70,000 words, I received a website short message.
At that moment, I felt relieved.
Further back, looking at the overall situation, although my footsteps are not steady enough, I am unswervingly moving forward, accumulating steps and even thousands of miles, testing the waters, pushing by categories, and putting them on shelves...everything is smoother than expected.
(But looking back, I also have a love-hate relationship with the manuscript.)
(Its good thing is that it helped me stick to it, and it's a credit.)
(But it also has shortcomings that cannot be erased, because the manuscript is a closed creation. For me, there is no obvious change in writing skills between the first chapter and the fiftieth chapter. Based on this closed vision, then In addition to the serious incompleteness of the initial ability to become an author, the 200,000 words of my previous free chapters, just like the comments of many readers, are full of small poisonous spots, so that when I look back now, I feel, wow, it really is written It sucks!)
(As an aside, regarding the previous article, there are actually several poisonous points that have been repeatedly revised, which are different from the first one. I remember at the beginning that I didn’t dare to write an insignificant supporting role to death...)
(Similarly, more than once, I was thinking about whether to overhaul the free chapters. When I wrote more than one million words, I thought I would, because the previous writing was really bad. The general evaluation of readers is that the later the more exciting, because the previous Too bad, leading to the loss of readers, which is a torment for creators.)
(But as of now, when I am finished, my thinking is jumping repeatedly, and I don't want to overhaul it now, because I think that modifying the content of the first 100 chapters will take at least half a month, based on the tone of the story and the setting itself Existing defects and possible modifications can only be raised from 20 points to 30 points, and cannot solve the essential problem.)
In this case, it is better to be as real as possible, leave my initial text, and then invest time and energy in the next book.
Try to avoid the pits that have already been stepped on, and try to leave the regrets and expectations left by this book to the following books to make up. )
———————
●【The middle period of painful struggle】
In the mid-term of creation, from about 1 million characters up to 250 characters, it is the most stressful stage for me.
There are probably a few reasons, one is just mentioned, the initial writing is not good, and it is hard to attract ten readers, there may be only one who can stick to the paid chapter, which is a drop in the bucket.
At this stage, whether it is revenue or the number of new readers, all the data have not fallen sharply, but they have not increased significantly either.
(What can be used to comfort myself is that this at least shows that I am still making progress, and there is no particularly serious cliff-like collapse. The interesting side can barely cover the boring side, so you should not expect too much and continue to implement the original vision , that is: the meaning of practicing pen is greater than income, and the experience gained is greater than everything else, so that's good.)
Another reason is that creating this thing is really tiring!
I personally think that I am a person who loves words.
Even so, once I started writing, there were a hundred ways to dampen my enthusiasm.
The most straightforward thing is that although I have said so much, I can't satisfy all readers. It is indeed my lack of personal ability, and I have written bridges full of criticism and controversy.
But every time I see negative comments, whether it is extreme trolls or objective normal readers, it is equivalent to a blow and negates my efforts so far.
(This point does not require sympathy or comfort. Since I choose this path, that is what I should bear. I can only do my best to please the readers I can please. it is good.)
More blows may still come from the source. No matter how wonderful a story is, it is always a problem where it is written. With the unveiling of the background of the world, large and small forces continue to appear, and the setting that needs to be conceived is sometimes worse than the text. Be troublesome.
(My main text is 3 million words, my outline is close to 500,000 words, and the messy waste manuscripts add up to 500,000 words...)
(Again, there must be more than 1,000 extraordinary species in the book, maybe 2,000-3,000. These are the results of sacrificing brain cells and hair. We don’t know whether we should cry or laugh~)
The last one is also the most hidden difficulty of this book.
As a newcomer, I am writing a book for the first time, not only setting such a huge original world background, but also rushing to sprint for 3 million words... This is a standard act of death.
The label "Hell Difficulty" was put on by myself.
Moreover, my idea is actually bigger than the existing framework of this book.
But with limited writing skills, there is no way to show half of the fantasy world I have outlined.
So the unavoidable fact is that from the mid-term onwards, I speed up the process intentionally or unintentionally, keeping the core highlights as much as possible, and reducing other peripheral content as much as possible. Even if the plot rhythm is fast, it is faster than boiling a frog in warm water. More readers are better.
(One of the ideas for solving the problem is actually to increase the amount of updates. If you write 6,000 words per day, you can actually reduce some of the evaluations of "short" and "water". No way.)
In short, the suffering in the middle period is completely different from that in the early stage.
Without freshness, all data is stuck in a bottleneck.
Faced with all kinds of negative evaluations, I slowly consumed myself and became increasingly numb.
Belonging to boil and boil, look back, hey, have you written 1.5 million words? Huh, broke through 2 million words? Huh, busy, not only have I grown up by a year or two, Bai Wushang has also changed from a 16-year-old boy to a prominent figure in the extraordinary world?
—————
●【Happy late stage】
Self-reflection, my work and rest are the most chaotic in the middle of writing.
Before I started the book, I was still a health boy, but in the middle period, I saw the sun rise countless times, and fell asleep accompanied by the sound of birds singing in the morning. The skin condition and physical condition of the whole person were developing in the direction of sub-health.
Fortunately, I am currently reversing this point and developing towards the direction of going to bed early and getting up early, which is a major foundation of "happy mess".
Starting from about 2.5 million words, on a certain day, I sorted out the basic outline, confirmed that the final enemy is the "Evil Spirit of the Beginning", and determined the ending method, pointing to "war" and "guardian". And anxiety, much, much less.
Although at that stage, I still can't guarantee that I will be able to present the plot in my heart with high quality.
But I told myself repeatedly, newcomers and new works, if you can get to this point, your harvest is already huge enough.
If you have worked hard, struggled, and still collapse in the later stage, it does not mean that you are bad. On the contrary, you should be happy, because every failure is an opportunity for reflection, and you can learn from it to help you better next time jump.
(Not chicken soup, for me, that's exactly how it's thought.)
(If it really collapses, Beng also has the experience of collapse, which is of great significance.)
(The only concern is probably being sprayed by readers. After all, I don’t want the stories and characters I have written so hard to be loved first and then hated by others.)
Of course, what is gratifying is that after the actual creation, I don't think my later plots collapsed.
Even if there are many flaws, it is not a perfect ending.
But the whole is still on the level. For me, it has met the requirements for practicing pens.
If you want more, it seems a bit greedy.
————
Back to the topic, why do you say that the later stage is "happy performance"?
Regarding this point, I want to talk about it together with "mentality".
A mature writer must have a good attitude.
With a bad mentality, it is easy to fall into self-doubt in the face of too many negative evaluations.
(I feel that I have been sprayed all the way. There are already too many readers who have commented on some issues in my story, either politely or impolitely, objectively or not objectively, and some of them are of course correct Quite right, it gave me a lot of inspiration and help, some people who are too poor in quality to activate their national quintessence skills are purely messing with my mentality.)
(From my point of view, I actually welcome comments very much, because this is a mirror that can tell me what kind of effect my text presents in the eyes of readers, which ones are interesting and which ones are not interesting... This is "market test ",Very important.)
In addition, excluding the mentality related to "anti-frustration", I am more interested in "self-regulation of mentality".
Writing is actually lonely.
Especially for full-time writing, as long as you want, you can stay at home every day without a leader or colleagues. If your family understands, no one will even care about you.
Looks cool, right?
However, after experiencing this state for a long time, it is easy for people to "degenerate".
You will lower the lower limit again and again, such as the coding work that can be done during the day, but unknowingly dragged into the night (delay)
Even, why are so many authors directly eunuchs after breaking the update.
One reason is that if I don’t want to write today, I still don’t want to write tomorrow.
Too many such thoughts will not only affect the thinking and rhythm of creation, but also subtly tell you that you can give up at any time.
I never felt that I was a determined person.
The core reason why I haven’t stopped updating for 711 days is not that I really have such great perseverance, but because of “requirements for myself before opening the book” + “many readers like this book and recognize this story” + “breaking updates will Affecting income" + "Once the update is interrupted, there may be countless times" + "Because I have been persisting, 100-day check-in, 200-day check-in... A positive cycle has been formed, and I don't want to stop it easily"...
It is the continuous superposition of these reasons, coupled with good luck, no serious diseases, and no other force majeure factors, that I can achieve the small achievement of "no interruption".
Of course, although there is no update, the delay in writing still causes me a lot of trouble.
Staying up late hurts the body, and how can an unhealthy body be able to invest in long-term creation?
I have experienced "normal work and rest" in the early stage, "disordered work and rest" in the middle stage, and then gradually adjusted to a regular direction in the later stage.
Regarding the mental journey of the change of mentality during the period, I will not elaborate on it.
Just the results—
【Two years of writing have made me more convinced that writing is only a part of life. If a person has no life but only writing, he will lose the ability to write in a short time. 】
[If you want to write for a long time, in addition to improving your writing skills, you must learn to master your own mentality. If there is a serious problem with the author's mentality, no matter how good the plot, no matter how good the setting is, he will make a mess of it. 】
To condense the above two sentences, it probably means that, in my opinion, a writer needs to find a suitable creative environment, creative rhythm, and creative mood. These things seem to be illusory, but they must have their meaning. .
Some authors, as long as they can stay at home, code when it’s time to code, finish coding, watch dramas, play games, study recipes, etc., and don’t have to socialize, they are very happy and comfortable.
But I found that I am different.
Maybe different stages have different needs, but as far as I am concerned, I prefer "colorful".
To be precise, I am still young, and I like to "experience life".
I am willing to try things that I have never touched, things that I may like, as long as they are within my ability.
Figures, mechanical keyboards, digital devices, games, clothing, store exploration, food, script killing, movies, shopping, shopping, reading, video shooting, sports, chatting with different people...
Some things have been touched, and after the novelty, I don't care anymore.
There are also some things that will continue to accompany me for a longer period of time.
In my words, during the past two years of writing, my life has been "pretty rich".
——
When these contents were uttered, what I was actually more worried about seeing was that some readers said that I still have so much time to do other things, no wonder it is "short and short", no wonder it is "water".
But I also want to repeat the above sentence. I think writing should be a part of life. If you only write but don’t live, you may be able to maintain short-term stability, but it is by no means a long-term solution.
To describe it more intuitively, writing can bring me happiness, but most of the time, it is also boring and tedious.
I need to use other ways to balance my state, so as to attenuate my exhaustion and numbness.
At the same time, it is also to amplify my inspiration, increase my input, and in turn help output, and avoid the lack of desire to express.
(These points are mainly reflected in the middle and late stages of writing. With the day-to-day creation, the passion and enthusiasm of early book writing have almost disappeared. What maintains me to continue writing is mainly income and responsibility, as well as all kinds of life. experience.)
I have found a rhythm that suits me, and I am delighted and looking forward to it.
In the future, maybe at a new stage, my needs and my rhythm will become different again.
But it doesn't matter, just let nature take its course, there is no need to force anything, and there is no need to follow in the footsteps of others, I just want to be myself.

●【Talk about "Lord of Beasts"】
Well, I hope that everyone will treat the above experience as a story, understand a little bit about who I am, and then forget about it, so that's all right.
In the final analysis, the necessary link between author and reader is the work itself.
Only when you write a story above the pass line and get the love and recognition of readers, will you spend your precious time here to spy on my inner little gossip and little secrets.
——
First, let’s talk about another dimension, the motivation behind the creation of “Lord of Beasts”.
At the beginning, what I wanted to write about was not the theme of "Familiar Beast".
But what it is, if I recall it now, I can't remember it clearly. (There are many types, and you can’t write any more at the beginning)
Then, to be honest, I have read very few novels related to "Familiar with Beasts". For example, "Pet Charm" that you blow up, in fact, I have only read the first 200,000 words.
Others who can name it may only be "Dark Summoner of the End Times?" I can't watch it when there are signs of transgender)
"Long Live Summoning" (such as the Golden Crown Tattooed Queen, as soon as the name is mentioned, it seems to be able to pull the thread of fantasy. But unfortunately, I don't remember the reason, and I only read a small part of the first part, and I also read a lot of content later. not going down.)
The real factors that determine the creation of this book have to be "Pokemon", "Digimon"... such animations and animations.
At the beginning of the book, the classics I really want to pay tribute to are them.
(By the way, although the system of "Pokemon" is very large, the related derivative game industry is also extremely developed.)
(But for me personally, the theme of Pokemon is "conquer", "cultivate" and "battle", and the memory of the plot is not clear enough.)
(On the contrary, Digimon is more like telling a story. In retrospect, I would probably think that a group of chosen people led Digimon to constantly explore the world and defeat the enemy through evolution and battle...)
This kind of story gives me the motivation to create more or less, subtly, I also want to use my own way to create my own "fantasy world".
These are all the creative motivations behind "Lord of Beasts", superimposed on each other, mutual achievement, and the final work was born.
———
Then, talk about the content of the book.
From my current point of view, the content of the early stage of the book is too rough, and there are many flaws in both logic and narrative techniques.
For example, just take the question "Do you think talent is important or hard work is important", which can cause countless controversies.
(This is a part of the book that many people consider "poisonous" in the early stage of the book)
——When Bai Wushang was enrolled in Shanhai College, because he was a self-awakened person, he was sealed as a beast of his own destiny, and he was nicknamed "sharpening gold".
It is not impossible to write like this.
Anything that is controversial has two sides or even more sides.
In novels, if there is controversy, exclude those readers who really cannot understand, and the others are actually the author's "insufficient ability".
If enough foreshadowing is provided to make the plot reasonable enough, then whether talent is important or hard work is important, it can actually hold water.
However, I was too immature at that stage, and I couldn't fully express what I wanted to express, whether it was conceiving or writing.
Thus, the controversy was born.
Therefore, a considerable number of readers will ask questions, and they will analyze right and wrong based on their own cognition, and then stand on their own standpoint.
Readers who cannot accept this plot will leave me immediately.
In essence, this is my "expression is not in place".
I failed to use my words to guide readers to think according to my way of thinking, but instead made them feel strange and lost the sense of substitution of the role of Bai Wushang.
This is the most obvious manifestation of my lack of skills as a writer.
——
Throughout the book, the plot point where the story becomes exciting is probably the first time the Sun Priest Rabbit appears.
Later, when he entered Dragon Emperor Island, he was obviously just an accompanying guardian, but because of the praying incense and the death lineage, he even became the "Son of Sequence" of Longting in the end.
This plot should be the climax of the mid-term, and I like it very much.
In the back, there are more interesting plots, one revolves around "Xing", one revolves around "Garuda", and the other is "Twelve Guardians".
Until the signing of the Garuda contract, the rather long period of the plot in the future actually seems a bit "flat".
(Actually, I have psychological expectations in this regard. Whether it is raising to the height of the Sequential Son or becoming the Grand Pope, it is cool at the time, but it will affect the follow-up cool point, a typical double-edged sword.)
(However, after comprehensive consideration, I still think that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. I just want to find another shortcut. I just want to build the entire plot from scratch in my own way. Even if it fails or collapses, then I will admit it.)
Miraculously, the ending of the story is an idea I had before opening the book.
About the twelve sequences, and the creation of the human race by the thirteenth sequence, and the signing of the oath with the primordial creatures, so that the human race can contract pet beasts, these are all ideas that came up in one night that no one knew.
This, to me, counts as "the beginning and the end".
The extraordinary world also appears more "flesh and blood" because of such a background story.
The world in my fantasy, the story in my fantasy, I stumbled, and I really wrote it out.
———
I don’t know if you have noticed, but I am still a person who pays more attention to logic and details.
In this book, countless pits have been dug, and there are indeed some that I don't care about, or I have forgotten.
But the main pits, I basically buried them.
If I were asked to score the work by "completion", the full score is 10, and the pass is 6. I will give myself a score of 7-8.
(For unburied pits, just give random examples. For example, as witnessed by the dragon of destiny, Tatsuno and Bai Wushang signed a second life. At that time, the dragon of destiny also gave Tatsuno a gift called "Bone Sword", but behind this thing Never appeared again.)
(What else? I can’t remember clearly myself. If any readers have impressions, you may wish to reply after this paragraph and let me take a look.)

【Insufficiency of self-awareness · big collection】
★Characteristics.
In fact, there are no characters in the whole book, and most of them are still a bit facial.
(This should be a long-term problem. If you want to portray a brilliant character, you need many things to complement each other. For this, there is a long, long way to go in the future.)
★ Lack of competitors.
From the middle to late stage, it is basically the protagonist and the beast, or it is to unite with other big bosses. There are no humans of the same age group, so they can be regarded as Bai Wushang's competitors
(Although it can be explained by the sub-sequence, even if it makes sense logically, the reading experience is indeed almost meaningless.)
(But in fact, I had expected this problem in advance, because I did the multiple-choice questions myself and chose "better" in the front, so there will be a lack of coolness or offset later.)
★Unnatural transition plot.
For me, the most difficult thing to write is not the fight, but the transition.
Especially the fragmentary plot, which was finally sorted out and written, but readers still didn't buy it.
(Readers will find it watery and boring, but I will feel that without this transition, the plot will not be coherent)
(This problem is difficult to deal with. It can only be improved. Try to find a more suitable entry angle, which may increase the fun of the plot.)
★There are too many pet skills, which are dazzling at first glance, but when fighting, they are all mentioned in one stroke, and there are problems with the focus and proportion.
★The collapse of the monetary system.
For things like currency, my current feeling is that you should not easily detail it. If you want to detail it, you must consider the rationality more carefully.
…
(There are many more, some of which I already know subconsciously, but knowing it does not mean that it can be solved, nor does it mean that it will not appear again. These are all spaces for deep thinking and growth.)
Readers are welcome to comment, and you can provide your views and opinions according to your reading perception, thank you very much.
At the same time, I also hope that readers will share with me your favorite characters, favorite pets, and favorite plots in this book... I very much hope that readers can tell you about all the places that impress you or touch you. I! (★I will leave some questions at the end of the concluding remarks, interested friends can try to answer.)

【About the episode】
★★★Limited to the starting point, just at the end of the concluding speech, the more readers share with me the impression of this book after reading it.
(Any angle is fine, where you think the writing is good, where you think it is not good, or you can improvise and say whatever comes to mind)
【★★★The number of side stories I will write next will be more. 】! !
(There will be no less than 3 extra articles, if there are more, it may reach 10, it depends on everyone's enthusiasm!)

【About the new book】
There are so many things I want to write.
But what is certain is that the second book will still be about the theme of "Familiar Beast".
If I haven’t practiced again to prove the results of the experience accumulated with great difficulty in the first book, I will put it in my head to eat ashes, and I am more or less reconciled.
For the second book, my initial wish was very simple, to win "Boutique"!
Due to various reasons, "Lord of Beasts" is quite a distance from the average order of 3000.
Because the goal is clear, this is a work of practice, and I will not expect too much.
But the second book is different. With a certain experience and a certain reader base, if it fails, it means that what I lack in writing is much more than I imagined.
Of course, no matter what the result is, I will face it positively.
If there are deficiencies, then continue to step on the pit and continue to grow.
If you make progress, don't be blindly aggressive. I hope that you will not forget your original intention and always walk on thin ice.

【Book opening time】
Not surprisingly, the new book will meet with you around [April] next year.
(It may be mid-March, or it may be April or May. At that time, an announcement will be made in the old book and in the group.)

"Lord of Beasts", December 21, 2022, at 20:00, ending with flowers~
Looking forward to meeting you again!
