How the novels end

I myself wrote a couple of stories. But while I am not a writer and not a novelist, but simply a techie, the author. We authors differ from writers in that they write and know the details of the literary work. They can pick up beautiful words, forms, they know all sorts of text composition, but most of them do not have interesting topics! The content does not cling. There are novelists they can write an excellent story, one, two, three ... and that's it. But these three stories are world-class masterpieces. Like "The Hobbit back and forth", "The Wizard of Earthsea", "Rokkokon", "The Young Years of Henry 4", "The Time Awaits", "Colla Brignon", "Chesterfield Letters to Son", "Cheerful", "Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Hekel Berefin, "Kings and Cabbage", "12 night", "Magic whip", etc.

But other works by these authors are already a class below.

No, we are authors, not like that. We write about what we think and see. Sometimes we do not have such beautiful forms of the text, sometimes the grammar is limping and syntax. But we are read. There is a circle of readers, 80-100 people. And why? And because the content is interesting, that the information obtained can be useful in everyday, everyday life.

But it was all a seed to the main idea. The authors sometimes start the text, the story they have their own thoughts, their ideas, the story itself is interesting, but it has its limits of beginning and end. Chapters 50-90 ... and when the story lasts 300 or even 1200 chapters sometimes 2500 ... then the meaning of the story somewhere in chapter 100 is lost ... the original ... a new look comes in ... the story changes. .. and you need to finish the story ...

When the author has no ideas left, he simply begins to "merge" the story. Simple techniques are used: ... 10 years have passed in science fiction novels, 100,000 years have passed ... (interesting, and people live so much?) ... 100 million years have passed (yeah, sometimes the planet will not be able to exist so much) .. or suddenly a literary hero moves from the Earth to no one knows where, to a planet of another galaxy ... from a 3-dimensional space to an idiotic 5-dimensional! Although, logically, it is not there, only science fiction writers will not invent the night ...

What we see is a lot of novels from writers but they end up somehow crumpled up ... an interesting story in the beginning and in the middle at the end turns into an uninteresting dull shit ... why? Because the writer did not stop in time! He needed numbers in 1,000,000 words ... and the novel itself would have been great if they had written 300,000 words, it would have been good if they had written 400,000 words, an average of 450,000 words ... and then the quality would fall.

It's impossible to endlessly drag the main character from the lower world to the middle one, and then to the high, super high, super high, super duper high, heavenly 1 level, then 2 levels and so on to 1,000,000 levels.

The image as the protagonist of a weak person becomes the strongest in his world, and then going to a higher world again becomes a weakling ... making efforts again becomes the strongest and so many times. It annoys you. Fills the edge.

As well as the constant appearance of new and new difficulties, new villains ...

It becomes like a conveyor, a boring one.

Entering into the history of romance and then tragedy ... as Renoir spoke a famous French artist in the world and so full of all sorts of horrors I don't want to draw it in the world invented by me ...

It is clear that the reader is more imbued with history. Needs emotions both positive and negative ...

In general, at the end of many fascinating novels, in the mainstream style, with an interesting and original plot, because of the large volume of words, the ending becomes like a carbon copy. Cliches on the cliche, as if all writers want to enter one format, standard, punched ending, stamp, stereotype, template, it's easier to say just a stencil ...

Maybe you need to have a sense of proportion ...

For example, the story of the magic coin ... can be extended to 90 chapters and may end by 56 ... because its main task was the prologue to the story of the Magic Farmer and the novel about merchants and clans as additional descriptions to the world of the Magic Farmer ... but then, the novel merchant got his own separate life. And the prologue ... there is a lot of historical information about clothes of that time, food, weapons, roads, goods, political intrigues ... but it's difficult to translate them into textual or more literary form. Therefore, the chapter there go not as often as intended before.

With the magic farm, everything is going easy, because the topic is close, there is a practical experience in the garden, on the farm, on the market .... occupation of agribusiness, electronic cartography, historical research, expeditionary work ...

Therefore, the ending of the story will be smooth and not merged ... and there may be quite 300 chapters and easily 1500 ...
