Chapter 14 1996 Original Postscript

"Blade of Fantasy Country" was originally not an independent work, but a "side story". The idea of ​​"Shuokuo" was first conceived in preparation for writing a series of long historical novels with the general title "Poetry of Martial Arts Madness".I think for novelists, there is no greater temptation than this kind of novel: to create a fictional nation/country with a pen, and manipulate her historical destiny at will.It's like playing the role of "God" on manuscript paper. But for first-time writers, this ambition is not a ripe time for realization.It's impossible for Copra to shoot "Apocalypse Now" from the beginning, right?At this time, I thought: If the Shuo people who flourished a thousand years ago could survive to this day, what kind of story would happen? ...and so the novel came out first.

The proposition of "Blade of Fantasy Kingdom" is "Ancient meets Modern", Ancient meets Modern. The spiritual civilization of modern urbanites is deteriorating.Compared with the strength, concentration and romance of their ancestors, this generation can only feel ashamed (and what is more terrible is that people start not even feeling ashamed).I love classical characters and stories deeply, and I believe in heroes and poetry.I believe that this "classical element" will continue to be implemented in my future works. The subtitle "Super Swordsman Murder Incident" was the tentative title of the book when it was first written.Although there are reasoning and detective materials in the book, I have no intention of being loyal to a certain type of novel.In my opinion, there are two conditions for a good work: to be able to transcend "genres", and to have a complete "world view".I hope I can.
