Taking a Day Off and Some Thoughts

Many readers have noticed that I haven't been in good shape lately.

Unfortunately, it's the same old problem: when writing Stand battles, I can only come up with a rough framework first, and then fill in the details when I start writing. (I can't possibly plan out all the battle details in advance; my brain isn't big enough, and my hair isn't thick enough either.)

This leads to a situation where many ideas seem good when conceiving, but when it comes to actually writing them down, bugs are suddenly discovered.

Just like the two recent original stand-ins, it was difficult to fix bugs during the creation process, and the final program effect inevitably suffered.

(To give a brief example, to avoid being taken too seriously, I even calculated the speed at which Li Qing would run to provide support after hearing the explosion, based on the superhuman running speed of a cheetah, before setting the service area length to 800 meters. This distance couldn't be too short, because it needed to allow Giorno and Jamie at least ten or twenty seconds for a solo fight; it couldn't be too long, otherwise people would say there aren't service areas that big in the world.)

(However, even so, there is still a bug because Li Qing's hearing is too good. I have to assume that he did not actively pay attention to the sound 800 meters away in order to reasonably exclude him.)

(There are many other things to consider on the fly. The snake must be aggressive, so I made it a viper with fire-fighting properties; Chlorine Gas has a strong pungent odor, so I had to have pollen forcibly block Jamie's nose; the concentration of hydrochloric acid in stomach acid is actually not enough to react with sodium hypochlorite to produce Chlorine Gas, so I had to emphasize that the Gold Experience can ignore physiological limitations and produce excessive stomach acid.)

When I write a Stand battle, I have to consider so many random things, otherwise if someone points out a bug and criticizes it, my fragile heart will just shut up.

My grades weren't good to begin with, and I wrote the book just to make myself happy.

If you get into a bad mood, then all of this becomes meaningless.

(I won't care about comments criticizing the protagonist's health bar or time-stop dialogue; that's because they can't accept the book's basic premise, not my problem. But if there are plot holes, that's my fault, and I'll have to take the blame.)

Furthermore, setting aside the issue of creative difficulty...

As the show has progressed, readers' appreciation threshold has been rising due to aesthetic fatigue, but the authors' creative level has stagnated. Maintaining the initial eye-catching effect of the show is really difficult.

I'd better ask for a day off to calm down.

Hopefully things will improve.
