As a result, the chapter on Constraint Awakening was not written until so late. The premise of avoiding rhythm is the appearance of rhythm. As a result, I did not avoid it when there was no rhythm. I can only say that from this perspective, I avoided loneliness.
I'd also like to mention some settings related to the previous work.
In my personal opinion, the protagonist does not necessarily have to be the strongest [of course, Lin Yu and Ji Ran did become the strongest in this article in the end], but you have to be able to stand up at the critical moment.
To put it another way, if things become worse after the protagonist appears, it would give me a feeling of "Fuck, if things become worse after you came, what's the point of you?"
Even if something goes wrong, he must be able to handle it on his own and play the most crucial role in the core plot. This is my personal requirement for the protagonist.
So whether it is Lin Yu or Ji Ran, when they make up their minds to do something, they will start to rush towards the character of Juan Gou because of the thought, "If I can't solve the problem after I come here, then my coming here is in vain."
Then, after setting up the premise that "Lin Yu is a soul that traveled through time and space and happened to be a baby", it was necessary to put some thought into setting his identity.
As I said before, Otto was the brains of the main characters in the book that I conceived but was aborted, and this is true.
As for the reason for writing it this way, besides the fact that he is suitable and Kallen did not die in the setting of that book, there is another crucial reason.
My dislike for Otto was not that severe at that time.
At that time, I had similar thoughts to some of Hedgehog Cat’s readers now. Otto did what he did and died, so let it go and I’m too lazy to say anything about it.
As a result, after setting Lin Yu's identity, I inevitably began to look up information in the official plots of the past, and as I was looking, I found something wrong.
First of all, in the previous book, someone told me that [Otto would not tell lies, he would only use the truth to mislead others. It is OOC for you to let Otto lie directly].
I was very unconvinced at the time. After all, Otto had directly told a lie, and Theresa realized that it was a lie and was brainwashed.
But I didn’t think too deeply about it, and I just let it go for the time being.
Later, as I started to define Lin Yu as a native of Shenzhou in some sense, I once again opened the comics of the second collapse. After reading it, I just felt that [Otto would not tell lies, he would only use the truth to mislead others. It is OOC to let Otto lie directly] is really fucking outrageous.
Isn't this just a standard fan filter that uses a secondary setting to suppress the official plot after reading it? I wrote Otto according to the official plot and directly lied. What was wrong with me?
Then, as I was reading the Second Honkai Impact 3rd comic and discussed it privately with some Honkai Impact 3rd enthusiasts in a small group, I discovered a very serious problem.
Among the current rumors circulating in the outside world, regarding the consequences of Otto's evil deeds during the second Honkai Impact, most tend to believe that [Otto punched Walter, and after Walter collapsed, Sirin dropped a meteorite, killing tens of millions of people, so both of them took part of the blame].
After I finished reading it and discussed it with everyone, I found several things that were not right.
First of all, Lao Yang's talk is bullshit. Before meeting Lao Yang, Xilin said to Theresa, "Do you want to become my subordinate? I will let you live until the moment the world is destroyed." (original words). In the official setting, Xilin is the revenge of civilization. After Walter talked to her, Xilin clearly told him, "Use your life to pay for the sin of betrayal." (original words).
Those who say that Lao Yang's declaration of war on behalf of humanity later led to Xilin's massacre of humans probably forgot the above plots. These plots and the settings released at the same time (just at the back of the comics) clearly pointed out that Xilin's mentality was broken by destiny.
As a firefighter [the captain in my eyes is Otto, he doesn't do anything about personnel matters but in terms of status he is indeed the captain in terms of anti-Honkai Impact 3 - only look at the status, not the work done], Lao Yang jumped out and was beaten without even having a chance to talk, which was very miserable.
Then continue reading. When Xilin dropped the meteorite, several areas were lost. Let’s take a look at the description.
1. If a meteorite falls into the Mariana Trench, it will trigger an unprecedented tsunami, which will inevitably cause a large number of casualties.
31. An earthquake hit the area near Moscow, destroying 3000% of the city and predicting the death toll to be over million.
3. Los Angeles was hit by a meteorite, but the details are unclear.
Then in the next episode it is mentioned that the number of casualties caused by the meteorite fall was tens of millions. Most people think that this number is 30 million because there is a clear number of 30 million, but in fact this is a lower limit.
Xilin lost more than three areas. There was actually a warning after the description in Los Angeles, but it was not finished. Considering the gap between the number of casualties just reported and the actual number of casualties, I think the cost of this incident will be at least 40 or 50 million, and more is not impossible.
What follows is the scene mentioned in the plot where the core of Sirin goes berserk. Otto and Kevin simultaneously decide to [give up half of Asia] and that [the core energy will continue to spread until it engulfs half of the Asian continent].
If you have looked at the map, you probably know that the total area of Siberia is 1322 million square kilometers, and the area of half of Asia is * million square kilometers. When Siberia is destroyed, the surrounding areas will also suffer.
What's worse is that the area near him, I looked at our world map, and after crossing Mongolia is probably Shenzhou.
In other words, after the core of Xilin went berserk, the surrounding area directly spread, and finally half of Asia was swallowed up by the energy.
This is not the end, this is just the beginning. After the Herrscher's energy spreads, the people who were affected by the energy are basically doomed, and theoretically there will still be a large number of Honkai beasts and dead soldiers in the area.
That is to say, after half of Asia was swallowed up, the rest of Asia was not much better off.
A large number of Herrscher and Death Soldiers require sufficient manpower and weapons to suppress them, and what's very bad is that weapons are mentioned in the plot. Let me see.
Modern technological weapons, all the ones stored in Destiny were used up by Otto.
Among the more than 500 Valkyries, most of them were killed or injured.
The mechas of Anti-Entropy were basically destroyed, and all the high-end combat forces of Anti-Entropy Destiny, except Otto, were killed or injured. In other words, after Shenzhou was affected, it had to use the remaining troops to deal with the Honkai beasts and death warriors that appeared in the national territory after a part of the map was blown away.
In the book I mentioned that there were 2000 billion people in Asia in 36. If half of Asia accounted for billion, and if half of them died, that would be million. This is already an underestimation. In fact, according to my inference above, the number of deaths was much higher.
In addition, according to some people's theory that Otto protected the world for 500 years, in the world view of Otto the Great line, there should be almost no wars between the countries suppressed by Otto, so the population number must be larger than my estimate. In other words, there must be more people who were almost killed by Otto's several magical operations during the second collapse.
This was the result of Siegfried chopping down Sirin but failing to stop the core from going berserk. If Siegfried and his group hadn't won, Sirin would have flown around and killed even more people.
As for the subsequent use of secondary settings by Otto fans to take over the official settings in other places, we will talk about it in other chapters and get back to the topic.
The reason why I wrote these things in the character setting chapter is not for any other reason, but mainly because after these inferences, Lin Yu, as a Shenzhou native, would never like Otto after knowing what Otto had done.
After all, 14 years before the beginning of the first chapter, Otto almost caused trouble that destroyed Lin Yu's family. It would be strange if he liked her.
The reason why Lin Yu is polite to Siegfried, Walter, Fu Hua, Cecilia and others in the book is partly due to the above inferences.
Otto's evil deeds caused the core of Xilin to go berserk and almost sent Lin Yu's family away early. If Siegfried and Lao Yang hadn't been supporting him at that time, he would have lost his life. Of course, he had to be polite to his savior.
Simply put, if Lin Yu has a favorability bar for other characters, then for Lin Yu, the initial favorability of these people must be the highest.
Kiana would probably be the lowest, for the reasons mentioned above. Even if she was the kind side of Xilin, she was still Xilin. Considering that her entire family was almost killed in advance fourteen years ago, Lin Yu was already very polite for not taking his anger out on her.
In Chapter 59, Lin Yu felt overly apologetic towards Siegfried because he subconsciously felt that he was sorry for his savior, which led to his emotional breakdown.
Of course, having said so much, if it is not handled well, it is not handled well. This is indeed my problem. I will take the beating and try to avoid this situation in the next book.
Back to the previous character setting.
After Lin Yu's character as a 'Shenzhou person' and 'member of destiny' is finalized, many details can be further optimized.
For example, when Lin Yu told Bronya about his life experience in the holy scar space [Yae Village], he thought he was making it up, but in fact he was just telling his true life experience, but he didn't realize it.
After the initial part of Lin Yu's character was determined, the next step was to optimize the details, or to add some inspiration to it.
The author's inspiration often comes from the entertainment works he has come into contact with.
Lin Yu's character design was inspired by the following characters because he completed the Super Robot Wars Z2: The Reincarnation arc between the end of the series and the new book.
Roger's acting and speech in "Big-O" [and the fight if they can't reach an agreement], Lelouch's mental manipulation in "Code Geass", Suzaku's nickname "Zero Knight" implies that he will kill his boss sooner or later, Chiligu in "Armored Trooper" appears to be indifferent but talks a lot in his heart, and has the identity of "God's Successor" and the characteristic of not being able to die no matter what, Liam Layard's lies in "Super Robot Wars Z2", Claude Brasta's jewels and "a will that cannot be broken even in hesitation".
Although everyone jokes that Lin Yu is a little Otto, in fact, Lin Yu’s personality has nothing to do with Otto.
It's just because not many people have played Z2: The Redux, so everyone will naturally lean towards familiar things. When watching Honkai Impact rd, they will definitely lean towards Honkai Impact rd. This is normal. I don't think there is anything wrong with everyone's thinking, but I just want to clarify something here.
Continuing with the previous topic, after Lin Yu confirmed the Shenzhou people, the members of the Destiny whose parents had both passed away, and the future Herrscher reserve, I began to think about what core he should prepare.
At the beginning, when Ling first met Lin Yu, she saw the magic chain and thought it was a constraint and a hint, but it was not confirmed at that time, so it could only be said to be a route.
And careful readers have actually discovered that although the Slide Lantern Barrier is a general ability with multiple uses, it overlaps with the Constraint Core in terms of ability weakening. This also shows that I was not sure at all that the protagonist was the constraint at the time.
Many details are the result of subsequent optimization.
As for the fact that Lin Yu in the early part of the plot often used his fear of death as an excuse to do things that only a crazy person would do, it was actually because he was a real revenge ghost from the very beginning.
It is true that he is afraid of death, but it is also true that he wants revenge. Only when the two are combined will Lin Yu appear, who is very afraid of death but also wants revenge.
As I said before, because I didn't set up the birthday carefully at the beginning, bugs still appeared after the modification.
The first modification was to change 1998 to 1996, but after this modification, became greater than Rita's , which makes him Mao's sworn brother.
Of course I didn’t realize this at the time.
Most readers probably don’t realize it, after all, not many people remember Rita’s birthday.
As a result, it was not until the chapter that I suddenly thought that the protagonist could be set as the swaying Libra Jewel Envoy, and then I changed the protagonist's birthday to , the beginning of the Libra birth date. After that, I never changed this setting.
Well, keep going.
..........
When Lin Yi appeared, the protagonist's life experience had not yet been revealed.
But in my opinion, there is obviously a reason why Lin Yu could so easily accept such a daughter who appeared out of nowhere.
In the book reviews or the thread, some readers said that it was strange that he accepted an artificial daughter for no apparent reason. I think you are right. In my opinion, a normal person would definitely not have the same reaction as Lin Yu when seeing a little girl jump out and call him dad.
The system's pedigree identification is one thing, but one's own mood is another.
But Lin Yu is different.
As an orphan, he successfully traveled through time after death and then had the family he didn't have in the past.
As a result, his family member died suddenly, which actually caused him more serious mental damage than the mental damage suffered by ordinary people when their parents died.
In this situation, Lin Yu would subconsciously desire the presence of blood relatives around him due to the lack of family affection. For this reason, Lin Yi was directly accepted by Lin Yu after meeting him.
Of course, this is based on the premise that Lin Yi saw the new Lin Yu instead of the perfect Lin Yu/Revenge Ghost Lin Yu. The new Lin Yu was relatively gentle most of the time. [After all, the original Lin Yu split his personality into two, and the extreme revenge ghost personality has been resisting pressure, so it seems that the extreme new Lin Yu is already the gentlest of his three states.]
About skills and props.
I originally wanted to put it here, but if I put it in, the word count will exceed the 20,000 words in a single chapter of Hedgehog Cat, so I put it in a separate chapter to talk about the ideas for selecting those skills and props.
In terms of combat power, let’s start from the beginning of the previous book.
In a sense, the magnetic field rotation in the previous book was a product of a spur-of-the-moment decision. I don’t know whether to call it a failure or a success.
In my eyes, it was a failure, but my idea might not be correct. Maybe the result would be even worse if I didn’t write about magnetic field rotation.
I reviewed the general plot of the previous book. It started from the end of the first copy, when Ji Ran flew to Changkong City to rescue Kiana. Although Ji Ran had a brief fight with Tianming at that time, after the fight, he was in a state of [Otto knew there was such a person].
His underwear was not exposed.
He officially revealed his true identity to the three major organizations. That was after he and the three major families had been secretly leveling up outside for half a year.
And because too many enhancements were given after the first copy, Ji Ran was in a sense the Sword God of Shilipo.
For those who don’t know that he has a copy and a system, Ji Ran was a ruthless person at that time [Kaslana jumped out from nowhere and easily defeated the Herrscher of Thunder and two S-levels].
After squatting for half a year, when Ji Ran went to Singapore to stop Cocolia's plan, he was already considered to be the top fighter in the world...
Only Kevin, who lacks energy, can suppress him [before Ji Ran met Kevin and his potential was squeezed out].
Damn, looking back, I realized that the combat power was too high, which made many of the subsequent plots difficult to progress.
After he and Otto completed the "deal", he rescued Xier and spent a week in England, and then spent a few more days in the Oceania branch.
I didn't calculate the time in detail, but I'll see after he regains his evil side...
Is there two months between the Singapore arc and the start of the Herrscher of Domination arc?
This book was completed last year, so I don’t remember the timeline very clearly, but now that I think about it, from the collapse of Changkong City to the death of the Lord and the Bishop, it was probably only about eight months in total.
This is the consequence of raising the combat power too high in the previous book.
So when designing the protagonist of this book, my idea from the beginning was that the combat power should not be too high, but should be built up little by little.
At least that's what I thought at first.
But in fact, although Lin Yu's combat power was indeed not as good as Ji Ran's before the middle and late stages, there were problems in other aspects.
[Here’s a little-known fact. Judging from the number of characters, when Ji Ran had 600,000 horses and his personality merged, Lin Yu had just met Lin Yi. At least if Lin Yu had met Ji Ran at that time, he would have been easily beaten to a pulp.]
What went wrong in other aspects is that the configuration of the protagonist's teammates was too high.
From the very beginning, I wanted Otto to bring out the false god in both books. After all, this is a grand scene, and everyone loves to watch grand scenes.
But it died on logic.
As I was writing my last book, I realized that logically speaking, Otto did not meet the requirements to become a false god!
He didn't even get the Thousand Worlds and One Vehicle, and Su didn't give him any information. He couldn't handle many things, so he became a useless false god.
This cannot be blamed on Otto. After all, from the time Ji Ran officially made his debut in Singapore to the time Otto discovered that something was wrong and joined forces with Kevin, it was actually only about two months [I remembered it wrong, so just pretend I didn’t say that].
So I felt quite regretful that I didn’t let Otto become a false god in the previous book, and I had originally planned to have a chapter on false gods in this book.
But the problem is that in this book, Lin Yu's early strengthening is not particularly outrageous [compared to the previous book]. After the pearls and jade come out, it is just [actually outrageous, but if you haven't reached the third stage, the pearls and jade are not that scary].
In the plot, Otto stands against almost everyone. Strengthening others is actually equivalent to strengthening Otto's enemies in a sense.
As for Lin Yu...
Su's life was extended and he can move normally again.
Lao Yang's injury is healed and he can play the Key of God now.
Fu Hua is no longer a second-class disabled person.
Siegfried tried very hard at the beginning, and after he was healed, he was in the state of [Skyfire] + [Pavani]. Except for the lack of one core of Lao Yang, he was already a peak prisoner who beat the five-core Xilin.
In the original novel, why was Otto so arrogant and even gave people a feeling that "no one could beat him in planning and strategizing?" It was because all these masters were either dead or disabled due to various reasons (such as being tricked by Otto, being tricked by Otto, and the end of their lives).
As a result, they are all fine now, and there is also a super peeping demon inside, Su, who has been watching other worlds for a long time. Otto's trump card is of no use in front of Su.
