Final words

It has been more than half a year since the book was launched in September last year, and the text has totaled 1.21 million words. The text of "The Blood Professor of Hogwarts" is completely completed today.

Those book friends who have been able to read more than 1.2 million words and have reached the end of this final chapter must at least have a readable evaluation of this book and are willing to accompany me to the end. good accompany.

Since I wrote this book for more than half a year, I have often received encouragement from several good readers in the comment area, recommendation tickets, and monthly tickets. Readers often give recommendation tickets for many, many days in a row, and there are also comments that I have not updated on time. Those who remind you of updates every time include giving away dozens of monthly passes at the beginning and end of the month...

In fact, I often feel tired when I keep updating for a long time. In many cases, I rely on these book friends who are willing to encourage and urge me to code, so that I can persist.

Thanks for having you along the way!

Although it may be due to the update speed or the unsatisfactory plot, some familiar names in the comment area and recommendation area gradually disappeared, and the book friends who supported me also changed one after another.

But when I occasionally see familiar names in the rankings of book friends, I still feel moved in my heart, recalling those companionships that seemed to be misplaced in time and space.

…

Overall, in terms of performance and content, I think this book is relatively above average among HP fans... right?

At its peak, when searching for Hogwarts in the search bar, it ranked second among all books, and its popularity rankings often entered the top five. During the new book period, it entered the top ten of the new book list and the top three of light novels; in the later period, After Pingtan retreated, he was basically able to stay in the top ten of the HP fan search index.

Didn't catch up with the large-scale anti-theft, and finally spent a thousand dollars on Junding.

How should I put it, I am actually quite satisfied.

It’s not a time-travel novel, it’s not an indigenous novel, and the protagonist is not a human being. This kind of setting is probably considered poisonous in the eyes of many readers. It’s a proper niche novel. I’m a person who has only written one novel with less than a million words. As a pure new author, I can't have too many demands to achieve this result.

Because of this book, my author level has now changed from level 1, novice level, to level 3, medium level novice, and the number of words I have written has reached almost two million. Now I can say without hesitation, I am Getting started in the field of web writing!

It’s just that I still haven’t started writing this book yet——

Because the first book, as a completely new work, had too many poisonous points and received too much criticism, I subconsciously restrained my hands and feet in this book, sticking to the original work and not daring to write anything too outrageous. The plot...

It can also be seen from various comments that there are not many criticisms and few words of praise.

I think readers probably feel that they can still read it after reading it. They didn't find any major bad points, but there aren't many things that are really worthy of praise. It's tasty but unremarkable.

Of course, after all, I am just a new author, and I am not the kind with extraordinary talents. Being able to write a book like this is considered unsatisfactory.

…

The whole book is divided into four volumes. Before it was put on the shelves, around Harry's first grade is the first volume; the end of the first grade and the entire second grade are the second volume; the third and fourth grades are the third volume; and the last volume is the fourth volume. After the first grade, I basically left Hogwarts and quickly advanced the plot.

Among them, I am most satisfied with the second volume, and the least satisfied with it is also the second volume——

When I was writing the second volume, the book had just been released. I wrote it with great passion. In the first ten days, the number of updates exceeded 10,000 per day. In the chapters about Vampire Tesla and Retired Auror Robert, I really felt that I had exceeded my ability. , the content that was not originally on the outline was suddenly expanded into an exquisite little story.

But this state cannot be maintained forever. By the end of the second volume, it was obvious that the plot began to drag. The rhythm of the chapters after coming out of the secret realm of Mount Olympus was not well controlled. There should be a large number of readers. I abandoned the book during the transitional chapter from Rove's perspective, which I deeply regret.

In the third volume, the bug-level existence of the time turner is a very important prop in the original work, and it is also the prop that is most likely to cause the fan plot to collapse.

Fortunately, I think my handling was quite satisfactory among many HP fans. I didn't let any big holes appear in the plot, and I also introduced foreshadowing that wasn't echoed until later in the game.

As for the Four Strong Tournament, I don’t know if it was driven by Professor Mo Wen. In recent years, there have been more and more HP fans participating in the Six and Seven Strong Tournament, and it is easy for readers to get tired of the various magic schools.

After careful consideration, I only added a magic school in Yinfamouni, and used Jacob Kowalski's grandson and magical animals as introductions to enrich the plot. I personally feel that it is a bit new?

I still vaguely remember that when the competition was about to end, I said that this book would be finished soon. Many book friends at that time were shocked. After all, the plot only progressed to the fourth grade, and there were still three more grades to follow. Woolen cloth.

In fact, this arrangement was a decision I made when I first set up the outline. The plot that is really suitable for a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor to intervene is the first four years.

If you really want to go to the water, you can spend two more years in Hogwarts, but that would be a bit redundant.

The plot lines roughly related to the little wizards at Hogwarts have been almost filled out in the first four grades. Dracula's vision should not and cannot be limited to a small school forever, even if this school brings He felt something he had never felt in a thousand years.

So he didn't care about revealing his identity as a vampire and hugged Cedric for the first time on the spot.

He had already made up his mind to see this messy magical world, release Grindelwald, and promote the evolution of forces such as werewolves and vampires, lest the world would not be in chaos.

It's just that I finally gave up on the setting of "Lest the world be in chaos" and didn't let the magic world completely fall into chaos under Dracula's promotion... because I was afraid that Dracula, who was both good and evil, would become a bottomless person. Villain.

This is a pity, and may have something to do with the lack of writing skills.

But I’m quite satisfied with the setting that finally replaced the God of Death, even though the God of Death seems too low-key in this book and doesn’t have the demeanor of a big boss...

And Riddle, maybe some readers are still looking forward to clearing this handsome Snake Yard genius.

But in fact, more rational book lovers may have realized that Riddle had already killed someone when he made the diary Horcrux. His soul had fallen into the abyss of darkness, and it was impossible to repent because of foreign objects.

So I chose to let Riddle rebel at the end of the story. At that time, he merged with Voldemort's soul, and his power broke through the great wizard. The desire for power and strength in his heart completely overshadowed everything else.

As for letting Grindelwald use the Death Curse to finish, it actually has a profound meaning.

I don’t know if you have noticed that Count Dracula has always been scary from the beginning to the end of this book, but he really didn’t kill anyone during his time at Hogwarts——

He doesn't like killing people because he can't die and doesn't want others to get an advantage.

As for Dumbledore, as the most iconic representative of the White Wizard, his aura is too bright, and letting him use the Death Curse will tarnish Dumbledore's aura to a certain extent.

Grindelwald is different. He is a murderous dark wizard. Although his views will change after being locked up in the tower for fifty years, killing Riddle is still nothing for him.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for Grindelwald to take action.

…

That’s it for the plot. I’ve written more than two thousand words without realizing it. Readers who have been able to read this far must have true love for the vampire professor, right? (laugh)

Then I'm going to start writing an acknowledgment.

Well, I dreamed back to when I was writing my thesis on Aent.

First of all, I would like to thank my editor Peng Lai. For my last book, he took me out of a pile of rubbish and pulled me into the online writing industry, so I will also recognize him for this book...unless he rejects the manuscript. .

Under the leadership of Naipeng, this book has gone through four rounds of recommendations in the new book period. After it was put on the shelves, it was also given a trend vane and a limited exemption not long ago.

Naipeng is a good editor. She has so many big authors under her, and she is also willing to take care of the recommendation of small authors. I love it!

I would also like to thank my readers and friends who have been with me all the way.

Many IDs are very familiar to me, such as the person who drew fanart for Dracula before it was put on the shelves; the two eggs who have been urging updates and sent many comments not long after it was put on the shelves; and who gave me a lot of support and vote in the mid-term Ying Siqi, who has dozens of monthly tickets; flammable and explosive_BD, Dantis, Oscar wxd who are active in the recommended ticket area...

I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to the elders who gave large rewards——

First, the two cute protagonists, being ordinary people~ He Wuye is the most fragrant! The book "The Vampire Professor of Hogwarts" is also a HP fanfic with two cute protagonists!

Ahem... To tell you the truth, the two cute protagonists actually don't read books. They are friends I met in Ji Cha Moe Group and came to support the author of Poujie.

What else can I say? Kneel down and thank orz!

The real reader is Mr. He Jiajun, who followed me from beginning to end and became my protector in the end. If it weren’t for the common people and the Fifth Master messing in, he would be the real number one emmm...

He Jiajun really reads books seriously and has great ideas. He gave me a lot of inspiration - the image of the cheap daughter Serena and the image of the proprietress of the Bai Feilong bar were all written under his influence. .

Anyway, thank you very much!

Of course, I am also very grateful to the book friends who have followed the original version and are willing to spend money to read the book! You are my gods!

…

Well, let’s talk about the plan for the next book!

The weight of starting point fanfics is getting smaller and smaller. If I continue to write HP fanfics, it will probably be as fleeting as a wave in the sea. This is unacceptable in any case.

It's a pity that I have already made an HP fan outline.

Book friends who have read the previous book may still remember that I said that I wanted to write about the past, present and future of "Harry Potter".

I have written about the past and the present, but there is still one book left that I haven’t written in the future. I will definitely make up for this regret one day in the future... I have been an old fan of HP for many, many years. At the beginning, I only wrote fanfics to tell the story of HP in my heart. The story is actually the same now.

As for the next HP fanfic, I may go to another site, and I may write it at Qidian when I have time and money. However, my next book in the near future will not be a fanfic anymore.

When the time comes, I will open a new account to write cyberpunk science fiction novels.

To tell you the truth, when I was in middle school, I submitted articles to the magazine "Science Fiction World". Writing science fiction can be regarded as "returning to my old career".

The outline of the new book has almost been written, and it is expected to be released at the end of this month. At that time, I will give a reminder in this book. Friends who are interested can check it out and support me by the way.

However, I also understand that when it comes to writing books across genres and divisions, my next book will basically be starting from scratch, and I hope I won’t be too aggressive.

…

Oh, by the way, there is another thing that you may be concerned about.

When will the extra chapter be written?

Write now!

Book friends who have been reading may know that this book is a fanfic after all, so the article uses a lot of content from the original work. I feel uncomfortable about it, but I don’t dare to delete it easily.

So I promised before that I will release at least 50,000 words of extras after the completion, and publish them in the form of free chapters without charging you a penny!

Although I will make less money, it will make me feel more comfortable, and maybe it will make everyone think more highly of me, killing two birds with one stone, right?

The extras will complete the branch plots that have not been written in the main text. If there are readers who still want to see people or things, you can click on the introduction and add skirts, tell me your thoughts, and I will consider writing them as appropriate.

After writing these supplementary plots, I will write about Dracula's past appropriately, roughly describing how he met Slytherin, how he made friends with the Big Four, how he unified the vampire clan...etc.

Hey, why do you feel like you can’t contain 50,000 words?

As for the update frequency, it is probably every two or three days. After all, I still have to prepare new books, so I may not have enough energy.

…

Finally, I would like to thank all my book friends for accompanying me all the way. I am very happy and lucky to meet you in my long life. I believe that one day we will meet again in the sea of ​​novels!

Sincerely.
