Chapter 692: Questions about the Water Dragon King
Responding to the recent water issue
Or it’s not that people have been saying I’m water recently, but rather that people have been saying I’m water for a long time. As for the question of whether I’m water or not, I’ve actually responded to it once a long time ago.
First of all, regarding whether it is water or not, to be honest, subjectively I don’t think it is water, but objectively I admit that it exists.
First, let's talk about the subjective problem of water shortage.
In fact, everyone feels that the chapters about water are either laying out the settings or enriching the characters.
Many readers have complained here. They don't understand why I have to spend so much time to enrich the characters who may only appear once, and why I still have to spend so much time to describe a scene that can be described in just one sentence.
This involves my personal writing philosophy, or to put it more bluntly, this may be the reason why everyone is willing to read my book.
I wonder if you have noticed that perhaps the coolness that everyone feels is paved by what everyone thinks is water?
The so-called water is also a foreshadowing for pursuing more different scenes, different motives, and clearly distinguishable characters.
To sum it up in one sentence, it is about setting up different copies instead of the same old stereotyped face-slapping plot.
Everything is done to make the conflict seem more reasonable, rather than giving you the feeling that you are mindlessly engaging in conflict for the sake of conflict, or mindlessly pushing the plot forward for the sake of pushing the plot forward.
In order to achieve this goal, a large amount of space will inevitably be needed to supplement the settings.

Here is a rather vulgar example. (Female readers, please don’t scold me QAQ. There may not be many female readers, but I will still save my life. The author respects women, especially female readers, and suggests that the black man be given to female readers of this book as male slaves for free.)
These descriptions, which many readers consider redundant, are like me putting on JK clothes, stockings, and collars for the heroine one by one....
It is precisely because of these blessings that everyone feels particularly refreshed during the final battle.
I can fully understand the impatience of some readers. They can't wait to see me get started and think that dressing up is a waste of time. Many people have lost interest in the process.
But I want to say that there are many exciting stories on the market that jump right into the action without any preparation, especially on Tomato, but none of them are what I want.
I also know that it is difficult to achieve success with this style of writing, because it is not very friendly to following the updates. Like I said, when I was switching between these, most of the book friends who couldn't wait had already finished their guide and entered the sage time.
From August last year to now, the marshals and generals among the fans have been replaced one after another, and there are almost no old faces. This in itself is enough to illustrate the problem.
This book once topped the list with over 70 readers, but now it has fallen to a lukewarm level, which also speaks volumes.
But as I once said in my book, people must have a stance. People without a stance can easily make profits in the short term, but are often short-sighted and ignorant in long-term decisions.
I think the same is true for writing books. If I skip a lot of necessary preparation in order to keep up with the reading, would it be considered that I am blinded by interests, losing the original flavor of the book and disappointing everyone's expectations?
I would like to let flowers be flowers, trees be trees, and people be what they are in my books.
It's not because I'm a literary youth, but I think it will be more fun this way, just like why the mannequins on the market pursue details, because the more details and the more realistic they are, the happier everyone will be.
So having fun is the key. Without these, it won’t be so real and everyone won’t have so much fun.

Objective water
Why do we say that water does exist objectively? Because Xiong Ying also said that he is a novice writer. Not only has he just started writing long articles, but it is also his first time to write such a long article.
Sometimes it's too long and it's a problem
I will be confused, I won't be able to grasp the rhythm well, and I don't know whether to make the foreplay short or long. I'm afraid you won't enjoy it if it's less, so I can only write down everything I can think of.
It is precisely for this reason that a lot of redundancy is inevitable, which I admit.
All I can say is that the young eagle is taking off, and I hope everyone will be more patient...
I understand those book friends who really can't keep up with the latest news. They may come back to read it occasionally. If the scale is sufficient, I believe that it will be like the white moonlight when one first falls in love. No matter how many years pass before I meet it again, I will be moved by it again.
Hehehe QAQ
Finally, let’s discuss the issue of plot advancement. Many people say that the plot is progressing slowly and the night market has not been recovered yet.
But is it really slow in reality?
In addition to the night market, the protagonist has already taken over a lot of territory, right? The sphere of influence radiates to Ye Province and Yucheng, and is about to enter Xiangzhou Province and Xiguang Province...
In fact, those who always worry about this problem still have a misunderstanding. This article is not a traditional mechanical picture and text.
It pays more attention to being in line with reality, that is, cost-effectiveness and actual value considerations.
Now is the time to grab land. Naturally, one should first take over those far away from oneself, explore the boundaries of influence, and then turn around to take over one's own territory when one can no longer expand outward.
Just like at a banquet, you must eat the food on the table first, rather than the food in your own bowl.
Otherwise, by the time you finish eating what's in your bowl, the food on the table will have been almost eaten by others.
So in many cases, we should think more flexibly. Maps are dead, but people and armies are alive.
When considering the degree of development of power, the radiation range and the number of troops are more telling, rather than looking at how many pieces of land have been recovered, since the protagonist is not a farmer.
Finally, it comes to the protagonist's emotional issues
Many book fans are dissatisfied with the protagonist not having a wife and having several younger brothers.
But this actually involves a character setting issue that has been emphasized countless times.
The protagonist is set to be a leader who leads the survivors to rebuild civilization. He is not just a warlord who pleases himself. He needs to shape his personal charm.
Where does a person's personality charm come from? It is naturally from practicing what one preaches and being strict with oneself.
In the end times, only a leader like this can bring hope to the survivors, which means that the protagonist cannot have any obvious stains.
But it’s different for my younger brother, he doesn’t have such a mission, so as long as he doesn’t overdo it, it’s okay to be a little indulgent. There will also be follow-up as to why my younger brother behaves like this.
My thoughts are very messy, and my writing is also very messy, please read it carefully...
