Chapter 28 Twenty-six, disdain

A reporter from Chongqing called to ask a question (practical science is great): What do you think of the new martial arts novels?Compared with the old martial arts novels, what's your opinion? I couldn't help laughing, and expressed my opinion while laughing: What are the new and old martial arts novels?It is also meaningless if it refers to modern works or previous works.Like all other genres of martial arts novels, there are only good novels and bad novels, but not others. There are good-looking and bad-looking novels written recently, and the same is true for previous novels, which has nothing to do with whether the works are new or old.There are many good-looking old works, "Legend of the Tang Dynasty" is old enough, how wonderful it is.Of course, new works cannot be generalized. It cannot be said that new works are good-looking, nor can new works be said to be bad-looking.

Readers decide whether it is good or bad. If many people say it is good, it will naturally become a good novel. If many people say it is not good, the novel will naturally be classified as bad. Whether it is good-looking or not is not decided by a few people. A small number of people say it is good-looking, but it is just a good-looking novel in the minds of those people. Whether the novel is good or not is not up to the author to decide.The author himself says it looks good, and the situation is more ridiculous than a few people say it looks good. Some people also say that novels don’t have to be good-looking, which is even more puzzling.Novels don't have to be good-looking, what's the use of writing novels?Isn't it for people to see?Unreadable novels are not read, so they can only be kept. How is it different from waste paper?

It is much easier to write a novel if you don’t want to be good-looking than to be good-looking. Anyone who can write can write it. It is very difficult to be good-looking, and you need special skills to do it. So it can be assumed that the biggest reason for people who say that novels don’t have to be good-looking is because they don’t know how to write good-looking novels at all.Otherwise, writing is the same thing, why not write novels well? Or say: I don’t bother to write good-looking novels, haha, I must make at least one for everyone to read! Or say: I don't even bother! Then I have to disdain it.
