Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 57 56. Comments on Creating a Game World

Today I recommend to you the second place winner of the 2019 Science Fiction "Star of Hope" Essay Contest: "Creating a Game World."

"Creating a Game World", author: Sister's Bride, level 5 author.

Category: Science Fiction - Future World.

【Introduction】

Gained the ability to create virtual game worlds.

Expanding the size of the game world map requires swallowing other worlds.

Thus, the major worlds ushered in the most greedy, cunning, and terrifying existence in history - the players.

【Golden Five Chapters】

Chapter One: The Creator of the World. The online author, Jiang Qiao, and the Creator, Hai Lan, are bound together. Invaders are imminent, and the end of the world is nigh. Faced with such a dire situation, neither the protagonist nor the Creator seems entirely reliable. Fortunately, the protagonist has played many games, so it's recommended to create a game world and act as a warrior as a player.

Chapter 2: A New World. The Creator unlocks a second personality, allowing the protagonist to experience the thrill of being a Creator. The game world is rapidly constructed based on the protagonist's memories and settings. This game world features a wide variety of professions, flexible settings, and high playability, and the protagonist's in-game attributes also serve as a reference template for the game.

Chapter 3, Professional Players. Under Hai Lan's guidance, the protagonist learns that the invasion plane will overlap with Blue Planet in ten days. At that time, a large number of magical creatures from the Middle World will enter the real world. Life or death will be decided in the near future. The protagonist must gather all the other players in the game within ten days to resist the danger.

Chapter 4: Happy Gaming. A top professional player failed to reach the semifinals. Faced with his teammates' criticism, he didn't explain much, instead wondering if a game that didn't bring him joy was still worth playing. A new game icon suddenly appeared on his phone. Clicking it, he entered the game world. He spent an hour just to create a good-looking appearance. Ha, man~
Chapter 5, BOSS. The protagonist waited in the Novice Village for the arrival of a professional master. After exchanging pleasantries, he only added the master as a friend, failing to help the master level up and deepen their relationship. The game had been online for less than a day, and the players were still relatively low-level, but the game creator analyzed that they should have no problem fending off the invasion. Meanwhile, the master discovered a field boss, and his own equipment had been updated, proving he was indeed no ordinary player.

【Brief Comment】

This book is very popular and often appears in the top five in the science fiction category. I didn’t expect it to win an award.

Regardless of the type of essay contest, it is a battleground for masters to prove their worth.

Winning an encouragement award can fully prove your ability.

At first glance, the game world of this book is very similar to DNF. The career settings and job transfer tasks, even the slogans of certain NPCs are the same as DNF.

One can't help but wonder, is this book a tribute to "The King's Avatar" or to DNF?

The difference is that the game world in this book is in VR mode, and the game characters can be summoned to the real world to resist the plane invasion that will come in ten days. This is a good point to watch.

The protagonist is burdened with a heavy responsibility, not only as the creator of the game, but also as the guardian of the world. Although the story is a bit far-fetched, creating players through the game and then summoning them into reality to resist the invasion of alien creatures.

Aren’t it these online novels with extremely imaginative ideas that attract wave after wave of readers and authors?

The book has a lot of early setup, so while it might be of interest to those who haven't played the game, veterans might find it rather dull. Of course, it's also a great way to reminisce about our youth from ten years ago.

In terms of language, there is nothing particularly eye-catching, and it takes a long time to find even a decent joke.

So, to be honest, the highlights and features of this book are not as good as the fourth place "Player Fierce" by Heideng Xiahuo.

However, it seems to be better than the first place "I Became a Lion".

【to sum up】

"Creating a Game World" won the second place with its extraordinary imagination, which is well deserved!

Friends who like this book, let me see your hands, come on~
【Cang's Ramblings】

I admire this author very much.

"Creating a Game World" had an average subscription of 14,000. If I had continued writing, I could have made a lot of money, but it ended at 1.7 million words.

According to the author himself, there is no point in writing more about the expansion of the star map, as it is nothing more than fighting different bosses.

Constantly changing maps, constantly fighting bosses, isn't this the traditional routine of fantasy?
He also said that it would be meaningless for players to continue to level up to level 100, 1,000, and 10,000. Isn't this also a traditional setting in fantasy?

The fact that the author decisively completed the book despite having such good results shows that he is a very thoughtful person who can stick to his writing philosophy without wavering.

In a few days, I will show you those works with tens of millions of words.

Those, after the mid-term, were all worthless. The subscription results were far worse than this one.

However, while I admire the author's courage, I also feel a little regretful.

His new book, "Demon Protection Association", has not been published since the 1st of this month, and it has not yet been read.

Compared with "Create a Game World", the performance is like heaven and earth.

This is very similar to the author named Shu mentioned above.

But my sister's bride still insisted.

Oh, sorry, it has been 4 days since the 2nd.

I just visited his book club and saw that many people were concerned about him.

Because he is in Wuhan.

Hopefully, everything is ok.

The author is very talented, young and prolific, having written nine books so far.

Although his writing style is relatively simple, his imagination is really big and he is full of energy.

Today's online writers are generally very young.

There are several great writers born after 95.

Pure Little Dragon, Eagle Eats Chicken, I Can Repair Air Conditioners, Ye Nan Listens to the Wind...

They completely fit the saying: "Become famous as early as possible!"

But they rely on their own efforts.

People often say that persuading others to write novels is a dead end.

But you have to know that this is the information age and the omnimedia age.

Everyone can be an author and has the right and freedom to write and express their thoughts.

If conditions permit, there is nothing shameful in turning your interest in reading online articles into motivation for writing and a way to make money.

Even if it is not well written, there is no shame at all.

Many people who are good at talking are very harsh when criticizing others, but they can't even write a decent book review of 500 words.

Apart from being good at arguing with people, he is good for nothing.

I personally think that if you really feel that you have run out of books to read, you can just do it yourself.

Only when you write a book yourself, from beginning to end, regardless of the quality, and complete more than a million words, then when you read other people's books, your state of mind will be completely different.

When you comment on others, you can empathize with them more rationally.

Finally, I hope Sister’s Bride will be updated soon, we are all waiting for you!
Otherwise, you know, it's poisonous.
