Introduction of works

Who can touch the extraordinary in the wave of steam and machinery? In the fog of history and darkness, who is whispering? I woke up from the mystery and opened my eyes to see the world: guns, cannons, huge ships, flying boats, and poor development; Potions, divination, curses, hanging people upside down, seals. The light still shines and the mystery is never far away. This is the legend of a "fool".

Creation background

The original inspiration of The Lord of Secrets comes from the Cthulhu myth system, which originated from modern Europe and America and is closely related to Europe and America during the rising period of capitalism. Then I naturally chose the Victorian era as the background.

In this context, steampunk has become a good choice for social construction except myth. At the same time, when considering the specific project setting, we choose a form similar to SCP.

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 characters: when creating characters, you can use the details of biographies and news as prototypes and blend them in a gentle way, so that the characters can easily become 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.
