Background of creation
Perhaps this is not easy, perhaps it will end in a disastrous defeat, but in the realm of martial arts, the rule is that as long as you dare to fight, you have already won. At the very least, there will be no more regrets or remorse, no more hesitation or confusion. For a scholar, this is already a great honor
The chapters of the scholar are similarly structured, beginning with the unexpected incident at "Blood Splattered Eight Directions Inn," leaving the audience with a sense of "mystification." Indeed, some readers, after finishing the first chapter of "Sword Rain Tower," have turned to me and said, "I didn't understand it!" Yes, this lack of understanding may lead many to question the scholar's writing style and conceptualization, but please do not be anxious. Just like savoring tea, one must set aside impatience and taste it carefully to appreciate its flavor. This is followed by the second volume, "Dream Return www.hetushu.com.com Heavenly Assassination," which directly rewinds time to a month ago, presenting the timeline in its entirety before the audience. Indeed, it is a complete presentation, not merely a retrospective in fragments. Why do this? It is simple: I aim to present a complete and continuous story to all viewers, allowing you to have a god's perspective, to understand everything that has happened, and to grasp every detail. Each detail is a new clue laid down by the scholar, akin to spider silk. When one day you discover the true form of this vast web, you will not merely marvel at its size and beauty, but will feel a sense of control. This is straightforward, as I wish to present a complete and continuous story to all viewers, allowing you to have a god's perspective, to understand everything that has happened, and to grasp every detail. Each detail is a new clue laid down by the scholar, akin to spider silk. When one day you discover the true form of this vast web, you will not merely marvel at its size and beauty, but will feel a sense of control. Because every strand of this web is constructed together with the viewers by the scholar. This is no exaggeration, down to every single strand.
"Sword Rain Tower" restores a world of swords and blades in the Jianghu, employing a somewhat adventurous approach. Indeed, readers enjoy witnessing the growth of the protagonist, often unconsciously imagining themselves as the main character, finding resolutions to various impossibilities of life within the narrative. I am the protagonist; this mindset renders "Sword Rain Tower" somewhat peculiar, and yes, it is indeed peculiar
A message from the author to the readers
This article is dedicated to those who discovered and supported "Sword Rain Tower," as well as to the chivalrous individuals who are passionate about martial arts
"Sword Rain Tower" is a martial arts novel. What is martial arts? The scholar has asked himself this question more than once. From childhood to adulthood, his understanding of martial arts has evolved with the various films and books he has encountered. When it comes to martial arts, the first thing that comes to the scholar's mind is the six characters: "Jianghu matters, Jianghu settled!" This is also a key theme that runs throughout "Sword Rain Tower." The thrill of vengeance, the glint of swords, and the carefree spirit of the Jianghu—these phrases may sound clichéd! In fact, a friend once told me that the martial arts genre has long been at its end, struggling to survive, and the trend seems to indicate the twilight of the martial arts era. Is it true that martial arts will fade away with the passing of Gu Long and the seclusion of Jin Yong? Ahead lies a wall; is this wall truly the end? I do not believe so. In today's society, is there really no one who is passionate about the martial arts? Of course not; at least I am one! This wall created by books is merely a barrier, and what we need to do is break through this barrier and open up a new world.
As the plot develops, continuously creating new stories is merely a storybook. However, as the plot unfolds, gradually presenting a complete narrative is what constitutes a novel. This complete story must connect your first word to your last word; this is the process of creation. A scholar's creation is not a single thread, but rather a web.
It is still the same saying: this is a relatively risky approach, but stagnation will inevitably lead to decline, while breaking through may just be a new opportunity
Even the subsequent tales such as "The Night of Blood and Soul" and "The Abyss of Nirvana" gradually unfold. The further one reads, the more one can appreciate the exquisite craftsmanship of the book hetushu.com. The Sword Rain Tower encapsulates the love, hatred, and enmity of two generations, as I mentioned in the book's introduction. Ultimately, the Sword Rain Tower is merely a story, rather than a coherent connection of multiple narratives.
In "Sword Rain Tower," there is only one true protagonist, which is the Sword Rain Tower itself. However, how can a building become the protagonist? Therefore, the scholar created numerous characters to enrich it, to fulfill it, and to transform the Sword Rain Tower into a soulful existence. Immersive novels allow readers to imagine themselves as the protagonist, creating a sensation akin to playing an excellent game, where each step forward brings immense satisfaction. In contrast, reading the scholar's "Sword Rain Tower" evokes a different feeling, more akin to listening to a story, as the scholar narrates tales of the martial world to the audience, recounting legendary adventures.
