Yu-Gi-Oh: Fake Card King - Chapter 418

c412 postscript

After one year, this book was finally completed.

How should I put it, I am filled with emotions.

The finale scene was planned as early as the beginning of the book. Referring to the last scene of “Kung Fu”, Stephen Chow and Huang Shengyi grew up with “As Long as I Live for You”. It is really touching. It should be An ideal ending.

When I started writing this book, I encountered many difficulties.

Including Long Kong’s criticism, many people didn’t like it and abused him in the message area, there were too many.

for example:

“Author, are you writing about Yu-Gi-Oh? It’s obviously just a noob’s literary show, and it’s a slap in the face. It’s a rubbish book!”

I know what they want to see. They want to see the protagonist use Light Road, Zhenglong, and the Twelve Beasts to crush the first-generation duelists to satisfy their self-righteous sense of superiority.

It’s not that I can’t write, but when you write like this, what’s the difference between talking about it yourself and pretending to slap someone in the face?

I use fists, you use cards, the essence is the same.

It’s not like I haven’t written short stories before. When I was poor, I also wrote short stories to make quick money. But who is willing to fall into the trap and write about Yu-Gi-Oh? Who is not true love?

If I want to make money, I can definitely write about Naruto and Pirates.

Why should I write about Kaiba’s cheating and hiring murderers? Don’t I know that writing this might offend a lot of people who haven’t read the comics?

Of course I know.

But I still want to write it, because when I was looking for Yu-Gi-Oh fans in the past, I never found one that wrote about the early stage of the comic, where the Pharaoh used dark games to punish the evildoers. This made me very regretful when I was still in school at the time.

The duels are exciting, but the mini-games and stories also deeply attracted me.

Takahashi Kazuki himself has said that when he is happiest and most motivated when creating, it is the small games he thought of at the beginning.

It would be a pity if no one writes so many interesting stories.

So I put pen to paper.

If no one writes it, then I will write it.

The so-called fandom is to make up for the regrets and dissatisfaction in the original work.

I have read a lot of Yu-Gi-Oh fanfics, but most of the protagonists have facial makeup. Without exception, they have a good relationship with the protagonist and call them brothers, and then there are all kinds of big brothers and little brothers, and there are clouds of beautiful women.

At that time, I was thinking that my protagonist must be different from them.

We must let people remember it firmly and never forget it.

So the main character Thok was born.

Cheating at cards, using fake cards, threatening violence, beating the referee, stealing other people’s decks while the cards are being shuffled, and secretly drawing two more cards.

If these were placed in the real world, they would undoubtedly be poisonous points.

But for readers who have been reading fanfics with facial makeup protagonists for many years, it is obviously a breath of fresh air.

It’s a pleasure to break the shackles.

It’s cool to break the protagonist mode.

I just want to write this kind of unique protagonist: I was born aloof and arrogant, I don’t need a younger brother, women, get out of here! I am invincible in playing cards and beating people!

It is precisely for this reason that I chose a single female protagonist for the protagonist, which is very rare in the fandom world, and she is also an original female protagonist.

This is difficult to write about.

Because if your original heroine is not as good as the women in the original work, readers will think that this woman is redundant.

So I had to think of a way to make the penguin different.

At least in Sok’s mind, it was absolutely different.

So the part about Penguin picking up scraps and Sok begging came into being.

That was the story I had in mind when I started the book, and I kept it there, waiting for the right time to truly decide that I would spend my life with Sok.

If you want to move readers, you must first move yourself.

To be honest, when I was making up the story, I cried and wrote down the outline.

Even when I formally wrote the article later, I was a little jealous at times.

For me, this book is considered to be a passing grade. I often read it from the front, and from time to time I am amused by what I have written. There are also some abandoned passages in the outline, such as:

I went to Haima Company and saw the blue-eyed white dragon sculpture. Sok: Oh, what a figure of Haima’s wife.

Another example

Thok: Chronos! You hired a murderer to kill someone! (Dark Duelist Titan)

Kuronos: After he kills the person, if I don’t pay him, it won’t be considered as hiring a murderer to kill someone (after I play with her, if I don’t pay him, it won’t be considered as prostitution)

It’s a little pity, but I’m very satisfied with going all the way here.

thank you all

Even in the past few months when my illness became more serious, they have always supported me.

I have nothing to repay, I can only express my deep gratitude to you all once again!
