The title of the fifth part comes from Beethoven's Third Symphony "Hero", which means both literally and with the meaning of the first and second movements of the piece, as well as some of my own ideas.
When I first thought about writing this thing, I didn't have a long night of story synopsis, and I was still playing games happily.
At that time, I was playing the game "Disco Elysium", and the final BOSS cannot be said to be the BOSS, it is a suspect, belonging to the old soldier who witnessed his own ideals and pursued the confusion and pain after the collapse and shattering of reality.
After playing, when I was chatting with the prince, I said that I wanted to write about people and things who can still stick to themselves in the face of the collapse of ideals and the cruelty of reality, and choose to continue to be lonely and brave after confusion and pain.
This is relatively a bit sensitive, I originally planned to start the corresponding story in the early stage, so that the "to save all mankind" shouted by Shang Jianyao can be specific, vivid, and full, but in the end it was put in the second half, so that even if something goes wrong, I can quickly run to the ending without worrying too much.
Moreover, this also has its benefits, after such a long trek, after psychotic persistence and even brainless impulses, Shang Jianyao's ideas and ideas have been consolidated through these people in the "Salvation Army" and are no longer empty.
This is exactly the meaning of a hero's growth in "Symphony of Heroes".
In addition, under this lofty ideal, the second-level Jiang Baimian's dream, the third-level Baichen and Gnawa's dream, and the fourth-level Long Yuehong's dream, haha, have all been displayed one by one.
This one returns to the road movie or travelogue style of writing, but because there are five holy places strung together, and the first four parts also shape the group members little by little, I feel better and more complete than the third part of the same travelogue style.
Of course, there are many problems, one is the part that connects several holy places, because the goal is too clear and loses the tension and the mood of enjoying the scenery when traveling.
The second is related to the "Salvation Army", because the strength of the "Old Tune Team" is too strong and has not been able to expand much.
The third is that there are not enough changes, there are no new members, and there should be no new members, followed by the transition and combination of the beginning and end, and the entire power system below the "New World" is almost presented, and there are not enough new things during the battle, and the lack of change often leads to a lack of freshness and surprise.
Regarding the sixth part, the title comes from Haydn's symphony "Astonishment".
This is a short chapter, similar to the second part, maybe a little more, maybe a little less, the specifics have not yet been determined, according to the usual practice, I should take leave again, originally I planned to take a short chapter only two days off, but today I happened to have an event, and I didn't have time to think about the follow-up writing, so I still took three days off, and the update resumed at 12:30 noon on Saturday, well, it was still a single update on the weekend.
Well, if you are bored while waiting for the sixth part, I can recommend two novels that I am chasing:
One is "Mysterious Martial Arts: The Record of the Hero's Rhinoceros", in addition to being slower, the first ten chapters are too jokes, which is perfectly to my liking.
The other one is "Dao Weird Immortal", compared to the first one, this one is more crazy and chaotic, so far, the feeling of combining folklore and Cthulhu is not bad, this author's last book "Mysterious Sea" I also read it, I liked it quite a bit at first, but then the plot became faster and faster, the encounter story became more and more dense, and the rhythm was too fast.
Finally, I wish you all a prosperous 2022!
