This volume ends and the next volume is
Some readers may find this volume strange and awkward.
As for the reason...here, let me tell you about my recent creative ideas.
The first is the idea of the Pacific Rim extra chapter. Let me briefly talk about it here.
This chapter has foreshadowing as early as the Tiga chapter, and has been mentioned ever since. There are three reasons why I want to write it:
Ultraman's world view is one of the highlights of Pacific Rim.
The second highlight is to prevent the heroes in the original drama from dying and change the regrets.
Thirdly, and most importantly, through Dayer's last words, he highlighted the point of "passing on the fire from generation to generation", adding to the "divineness" of the afterglow.
Even though he is no longer in this world, the people he saved and pulled up from the abyss of despair can now pull others out of the abyss of despair.
This is what I consider "divine nature", or simply "powerful". It is also an indispensable step in Yuhui and Beria's progress towards the "God IV" level.
Regarding the Four Gods, or the Legendary Four... I have to mention Saka here, this is a victim of the lack of divinity.
In the uncut version, he was scolded by Severn as soon as he came out of the body. In the official version, Hyperjetton, who was inextricably beaten with him, was blown up by a gunpowder keg...
I personally feel that it lacks that kind of strength and divinity, so Saka is not as good as Zhuguang, Lingga, or Lingga’s combined material, Oub Hayate, who is persecuted every day...
So I have to fill in the afterglow.
When Yuhui and Beria go to God 5 one day, everyone will see that they are strong, powerful enough, and symbolic. It will be completely acceptable to stand shoulder to shoulder with Noah and the others.
But choosing the wrong subject... led to different opinions.
Some people think it's super cool, some people think it's boring, and many people don't watch Pacific Rim and feel indifferent... If I had known, I would have written Keigo Masaki's Moonlight trilogy first.
Some readers felt that the extras took up time of the main text... They felt that the author only wrote about the supporting characters in the extras and not the afterglow story, which was not what they wanted to read.
From now on, when I write other extras, I will save them and not publish them. After I finish writing them, I will publish them all at once, so that you can open your phone and see that the author has updated fifteen chapters in a row!
……………………
Second, the author is suspected of having schizophrenia recently, and his writing style has repeatedly jumped around.
According to the original plan, after Dayle’s story, there will also be the story of Masaki Keigo and Jakura.
But seeing the strong opinions from readers, I stopped immediately and moved the camera to the afterglow.
This also shows that the author values readers' opinions - but I would be miserable if everyone disagreed.
Readers who have followed the update to this point should still remember that the plot of returning to Earth actually happened long after the decisive battle on the planet Hama.
The response to that paragraph was very poor at the time, and this chapter had a lot of negative opinions from readers.
Many readers directly pointed it out in this chapter, saying that they were not interested in the plot of returning to Earth, and that they did not want to see the content of "The Ultra Soldier King in the City", and asked me to go back quickly.
The subscription data is displayed directly, and a considerable number of readers skip this paragraph directly.
As of October 19, the current subscription scores for this book are as follows.
The first VIP chapter when it was released on May 5: Chapter 81 had a subscription number of "6621".
The number of subscriptions for Chapter 97 is “6511”.
The number of subscriptions for Chapter 100 is only “4559”.
Oh my god, I can only say that it is so annoying. Who can withstand the loss of one-third of the subscriptions?
Then it wasn’t until Chapter 105 that the number of subscriptions returned to 5892.
This definitely shows that a considerable number of readers skipped this paragraph directly.
Not only did it skip, but some readers deleted it from the bookshelf directly at this section, which is equivalent to me permanently losing these readers!
Furthermore, the current highest subscribed chapter of this book is Chapter 108 [Bei Laobai] VS [Bei Laohei], with a subscription number of 7952.
So through the analysis of the data, I came to the following conclusion: Today's Owen readers are tired of pretense and slap-in-the-face plots.
They want to see more exciting stories, and they also want to see very gimmick plots - such as Bei Laohei versus Bei Laobai, Diga and Triga fighting together, Carmilla taunting Carmilla, etc...
But for a period of time, this chapter shows that many readers seem to really want to see the protagonist return home rich and prosperous, and show victory in front of others?
At the end of Chapter 491, I once said, "This is the last time the protagonist returns to Earth."
In that section of the chapter, many readers expressed reservations about it, hoping that there would be more plots like this, saying that they loved watching this kind of thing.
There is also a reader whose ID is "Pin Ru He Xiu'er" who directly said, "It's boring. I read this book just because I want to see someone pretending to be cool on Earth. If I don't write it, I will unsubscribe."
(So I was so scared that I quickly deleted that paragraph, causing those chapters to disappear, but many book friends should have an impression of it.)
So I worked hard and wrote three more chapters the next day (actually it was originally two chapters, but I was too embarrassed not to advance the plot at all in one day, so I wrote a third chapter of 3,000 words).
Then, many readers said that since we are all Ultraman, we should stop playing this kind of plot. Some people in the reader group even said, "In these chapters, I feel like you are cheating me of starting coins" and "I just want to watch the battle." kill!".
Although this kind of plot is a bit vulgar... but the problem is as mentioned before, afterglow has only so many connections on earth.
When it comes to things like pleasure, he wants to "enhance them first and suppress them first." Generally speaking, it is a process from "carelessness" to "paying great attention to it."
The relatives who pointed fingers secretly regarded him as a transparent classmate and worried about Yu Hui's parents. Yu Hui could only show his holiness in front of these people, and the rest was gone.
He didn't know many people on earth, so who could he pretend to be?
It’s impossible for me to create a new event, and then create some obstacles to connect with it, and then shock the whole audience...
I feel like if I write it this way, those of you who are eager to watch Ax and Geed as the plot progresses will definitely give me a thousand cuts.
And it doesn’t make sense at all logically.
You have also seen Yuhui's current level. If ordinary people on earth can annoy him, it is because "the author has cerebral palsy and forcibly creates conflicts."
Finally, I asked my editor, and his opinion was: [Just write according to your own ideas, otherwise there will definitely be problems, and it is normal for everyone to disagree].
This also solidified my idea.
Let me emphasize it again. In the main plot, this is the last time the scene after returning to Earth is written in detail. After driving away the red ball, returning to Earth in the future is a matter of one sentence.
Later, the cool stuff will be mainly contracted by the United States version of "Kangxi Private Interviews" (you should know what I mean).
At the same time, I will try my best to meet the emotional needs of readers and add some changes to "Ultraman X".
We can’t stay in our comfort zone all the time. After all, we are going to make a living by writing online articles, so we still have to learn this kind of thing...
Of course, if you still want to see the story of Yuhui and Belial on their home planet, you have to wait for the next chapter after the main plot ending, "Another Kind of Contact."
As for what is "Another Contact"?
You will definitely understand after watching the update tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
(A new chapter will start at 23:00 on October 24th. First, I will write about Afterglow Bei Laobai fighting the Ultra War, and then start the Ultraman X plot line.)
