Genius remembers this site address in one second: []The fastest update! No ads!
Looking at this chapter yesterday, some readers said that the protagonist has no goals and lacks internal drive. Let me explain this. In fact, there are two ways to write the main line: one is the dominant main line. The so-called dominant main line is the author clearly told the reader from the beginning.
Let's take the most popular Secret Master as an example. The main line of the first volume is the notebook, which was clearly written from the beginning. The protagonist has been working hard to find the missing notebook. In the second volume, after the protagonist is resurrected, the hope of divination, upgrade and revenge lies in Backlund. In the third volume, in order to upgrade to the sea adventure... until the end, the main line author of each volume writes out and tells the reader straight at the beginning, and then starts the plot.
Think about it, is it so?
Another way of writing is the hidden main line, which will not tell the reader straightforwardly, but all the conflicts, all the contradictions, have been foreshadowed in advance. When the plot unfolds slowly, readers will find that all of this is natural, unobtrusive, and even feel like it should be.
May wish to recall, the first volume of Jingcha Fengyun, is there a massive foreshadowing?
Of course, some books do not have a main line, and write what you think of. But I am not.
The advantage of the hidden thread is that you never know what the subsequent plot is, it may be a comedy, it may be a knife. The disadvantage is that sometimes the reader will feel that there is no goal, because the plot has not yet arrived.
Take, for example, the content of the second volume of the Dianchanger. You don't know what its main line is, so you can't guess its ending and process.
Another advantage is that from the reading experience, the world is pushing the protagonist, and the torrent of history is advancing.
As for the writing of the dominant main line, you have known his ending in advance, but what you don't know is the process.
This set of theory is my own, but the writing method has long existed. Take the four famous works as examples, the dominant main line: Journey to the West, Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Invisible main line: Water Margin, Dream of Red Mansions.
We all know his main line and the ending of Journey to the West and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. What I don't know is the process.
The Outlaws of the Margin and the Dream of Red Mansions are hidden, and the ending of the Liangshan hero and Jia's house is something I never thought of.
Today's web articles are mostly dominant lines.
Before opening the book, I had clearly thought about this issue. After choosing to use the implicit main line writing method, I wrote from the perspective of the whole world view, and played down the protagonist's goal.
Let the situation drive the plot.
