How to write the realm of fantasy novels

Answer 1

There were many ways to write the realm of fantasy novels. The following were some common points:

* * I. Borrowing the traditional system and creating new ideas **
1. * * Based on the cultivation system **
- The traditional cultivation realm was like the Body Tempering Stage. One could describe in detail the physical changes of the character in this realm. For example, starting from the mortal body, through special techniques, one could first feel the flow of blood and qi in the body, and then guide spiritual energy into the body to temper the muscles and bones. For example, every time the character cultivated, the body would feel as if it was burning, but as spiritual energy was integrated, the muscles would become firmer and stronger, and the bones would gradually become as hard as iron.
- In the Qi Refinement stage, one could focus on describing the formation and growth of the Qi Sea. For example, the Qi Refinement stage could describe the main character's Qi Sea slowly developing from a small whirlpool to a huge spiritual qi whirlpool. This whirlpool continuously absorbed the spiritual qi from the outside world. As the realm increased, the color and rotation speed of the whirlpool would change.
- At a higher level, such as the Soul Formation stage, one could go deep into the soul level. During the process of the protagonist's soul turning into a god, the soul gradually condensed from a vague consciousness body and had its own magical energy. Moreover, this magical energy had special abilities, such as being able to leave the body for a short period of time to investigate or attack.
2. * * Martial Arts Realm **
- As for the realm of martial arts, one could start from the improvement of one's physical strength and the comprehension of martial arts. For example, in the lower realms, the characters would constantly train their muscles and master basic combat techniques to improve their strength. For example, in the realms of Qi Receiving and Element Gathering, the main characters would focus on how they absorbed the Qi of Heaven and Earth and gathered it in their dantian, so that their strength would be improved.
- In higher realms such as Honorable Kings and Saint Kings, it was not only the limits of strength but also the unique understanding of the character's martial dao. For example, when the main character was at the Honorable King realm, he understood that the true meaning of martial dao was protection. His strength carried a will of protection, which could affect his fighting style and make his moves even more tenacious.

* * 2. Set the realm according to the novel's world view **
1. * * Element-related realms **
- If the world in the novel had the concept of elements, such as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, the realm could be set around the control of the elements. For example, in the elementary realm, a character could only sense a single element and could only use elemental power. For example, a character in the Initial Flame Realm could only release weak fire attacks, and it was difficult to control the direction and intensity of the flames.
- As one's level increased, the character would be able to fuse multiple elements. For example, in the "Element Fusion Realm," the main character could fuse fire and earth elements to create the destructive power of lava. At the same time, the increase in level would also be accompanied by a deeper understanding of the elements. For example, understanding the original power of the elements would allow the main character to create higher-level skills.
2. * * Realm of Race's Unique Attributes **
- Different races had different realms. For example, when a demon cultivator was in the Spirit Gathering Realm or the Wisdom Enlightenment Realm, it described how a demon cultivator gathered spiritual energy to open up their spiritual wisdom. It was like a fox demon in the Spirit Gathering Realm. Its eyes began to shine with a spiritual light, and it was no longer purely a beast's instinct.
- In the Energy Shaping Realm, the difficult process of transforming a demon cultivator into a human form was described in detail, including the reconstruction of the body structure, the concealment of the aura, and other aspects. After transforming, the demon cultivator would have different abilities and challenges from other races in the higher realms such as the Demon King Realm and the Shattering Void Tier. For example, a demon cultivator in the Demon King Realm could lead a group of demons, and at the same time, they would have to face challenges such as the Heavenly Tribulation and the encirclement of human cultivators.

* * 3. The naming and layering of realms **
1. * * Name Style **
- The names of the realms could be used in a classical style, such as "Qi Condensation Realm" or "Nascent Soul Realm". This naming method could create a mysterious and ancient atmosphere. He could also adopt a creative modern style, such as "Genetic Lock Realm" or "Quantum Control Realm", if the novel was a fusion of science fiction and fantasy.
- It could also be named according to the cultural background of the novel. For example, in a fantasy novel with ancient eastern mythology as the background, there would be realms such as "Absolute Beginning Realm" and "Primordial Realm". In a novel with western mythology as the background, there could be realms such as "Dawn Realm" and "Ruler of the Night Realm".
2. * * Layers **
- There had to be a clear sense of hierarchy between realms, and there had to be a huge gap between the abilities of lower realms and those of higher realms. For example, low-level cultivators could only fly a short distance and at a slower speed, while high-level cultivators could instantly travel through space and carry out interstellar travel (if it was a fantasy novel with the concept of the universe). At the same time, there must be a certain degree of difficulty in the advancement of the realm. The protagonist could not easily cross the realm. Every breakthrough in the realm must have corresponding opportunities, hardships, or insights.
