Reflections and Outlook for Volume Three

Reflection

1. Plot issues

Because the protagonist, Luther, descends into madness, the plot becomes somewhat passive. At times, the protagonist seems like a powerful headless fly, running around aimlessly, killing this and that. Looking back, this is mainly because his intermittent bouts of madness make his goals unclear.

Fortunately, the protagonist's goal is now clear enough, and the main plot will likely become clearer starting from the next volume.

2. Insufficient writing skills

After writing many scenes, I revised them several times, but I still couldn't achieve the effect I wanted. The scene I envisioned was brilliant, but unfortunately, I'm too stupid to write it.

In fact, there are misunderstandings between authors and readers. Often, there is a gap between what the author wants to express, what the author actually expresses, and what the reader ultimately sees and understands. Authors with strong writing skills can narrow this gap, while I still have a long way to go.

Outlook

The second volume is titled "The Justiciar." It will primarily take place in Backlund and is expected to be shorter.

I want a big one.
