The Creative Background of The King of Secrets
At the beginning of writing The Master of Secrets, the squid hoped to create a social background similar to19th century Victorian England. Like many people who like steampunk elements, squid initially has aesthetic interest and some yearning until the specific operation stage.
Squid collected information and bought professional reference books, which restored the humanistic customs, economic situation and social problems of that era in their minds, and at the same time extracted the stories of Victorian characters as the prototypes of some characters in The King of Secrets.
Squid said that with reality as a reference, many things become simple when creating: when creating characters, you can take the details in biographies and news as prototypes, and the characters are easy to be three-dimensional, flesh-and-blood and deep; As long as the famous events in the history of science are extracted and the core contradictions are packaged, the readability of the novel will naturally improve, which is also the guarantee of story tension.
