I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 35: A Little Explanation and Complaint
I won’t set up a separate notification scroll, I’ll just post it at the back of the book. I actually don’t want to post a single chapter, because the author’s end will always bring various things, but after thinking about it, there is quite a lot of controversy, so I still posted it.

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for their support. This book is currently ranked 11th on the regional new book list. To achieve this result on my first visit to Qidian really speaks volumes about your support. I've read every review and responded to some, but there's still a lot of discussion going on, so I'll give a brief explanation here.

First, there's the character of the protagonist. I honestly don't think he's the same as the real Peter Parker in the comics—he's actually more saintly, or even more virtuous. I was kind of thinking of titleing this chapter "The Day the Saint Arrives." The reason I wrote it that way is simply because... well, I like this savior type, and I just want to save the protagonist. There's nothing I can do about it; it was decided from the beginning. The Peter Parker in the comics was driven to a heroic path by self-blame after Uncle Ben's death. He can sometimes be a bit of a jerk and self-loathing, but the one I wrote is, well, a saint, or a saint, completely inwardly moral, and in need of help from others.

Then there's the issue of time travelers. Well, I didn't expect it to be so controversial. In my original conception, the main universe was a completely separate universe from the known Marvel Universe, a universe of my own creation. Because of this, even for time travelers, all information is merely a reference, not a definitive conclusion. There's even the possibility of misjudging based on what one believes to be known, leading to serious consequences. (I originally intended to write this to explain that time travel knowledge isn't all-encompassing, but I decided it would be too embarrassing.)
Therefore, in the main universe, Peter's identity as a time traveler is destined to not be of much help. He knows the true faces of many villains and heroes, and he knows the approximate impact of some major events, but these things are not any known stories. Facing the unknown in the main universe is how I position the main universe.

In contrast, the already mentioned but unwritten parallel universe (Spider-Verse) section is the main venue for the time traveler's identity. The protagonist will visit various parallel universes of known stories, such as the universe of the "Into the Spider-Verse" movie and the Lost Universe that all Marvel stories must describe - all of this comes from a flash of lightning in the rolling dark clouds. In this case, Spider-Man, with his omniscient cheat, will display his ability as a time traveler, and incidentally steal some equipment and abilities from the multiverse.

One of the reasons for writing this way is that, as the protagonist, you need to be responsible for your own universe. Only when you don’t know the consequences of your actions, your battles and your choices will be more meaningful.

As for why I wrote it this way... because I found it interesting. Just like why I made the protagonist so relatable to the real Peter Parker, it's not because I find Spider-Man's chatterboxing amusing, but because of another premise rarely mentioned: Spider-Man's chatterboxing in battle is due to his fear of dying or being seriously injured, so he's regulating his emotions to fight and rescue without too much pressure. I think this setting also fits the protagonist's mentality, which is why he's so talkative. If people don't like it and think he sounds like a native, then I can't help it. After all, it's already been written, and there's no way to change it now. I have to stick with it.

Then there's the question of why I want to write Spider-Man. One reason is that I can't find any Spider-Man fanfiction I want to read. Another reason is that Spider-Man has such a wide range of potential, from fighting in Infinity War and the multiverse to hanging out with Daredevil and the Punisher in the alleys. It lets me write whatever stories I want. Unlike many American comic book fanfictions, which start with the Sentinel, Superman, and Homelander, if I were to write about something big like Daredevil and Shadowlands, either the main character would look stupid, or everyone else would look stupid...

The same goes for storytelling. Take Secret Wars, for example. Do I really need to bring up the MCU's Secret Wars and have the protagonist tell Fury that S.H.I.E.L.D. is both Hydra and the Skrulls, and you didn't even notice? Well, Secret Wars is already a mess, and there's no need to use that whole mess to highlight the protagonist. So why not just delete it and rewrite it, and let everyone guess who's the undercover and who's the good guy in a brand new Secret Wars that has nothing to do with the comics, animation, or MCU? That's much more interesting.

Finally, there's another point: many people ask why I wrote it this way. The answer is simple: I didn't expect it. For example, Hermann using a strand of hair to pick the lock doesn't make sense, but I didn't expect it. I wrote it that way, and readers said it didn't make sense, so I changed it to a hairpin. Some people also ask why he didn't even ask for contact information after being rescued by the Avengers. I didn't expect that either... After all, I'm only human, and it's inevitable that there will be various bugs in the plot arrangement. These small bugs can only be modified or ignored...

Oh, and there are some typos. I checked it with Writer's Assistant and corrected them. I used Deepseek to check it again and still found some typos. Ultimately, I'll have to rely on you readers. If you have any other questions, you can ask them in this chapter and I'll do my best to respond.
