CHAPTER 81: THOUGHTS UPON RELEASE

First and foremost, I want to thank all the readers who have made it to this point — without your support, this book wouldn’t have come this far.

Before coming to this platform, I had already written millions of words, so you don’t need to worry about my credibility.

I also reminded myself that this platform prioritizes quality, and the key is how to write a good book.

The result is that I’ve been writing this book up to now, often staying up all night, suffering from poor sleep, worrying over the statistics, drafting outlines and detailed plans. My writing speed has slowed down to half of what it was.

Readers who follow the updates promptly must know that I often update late at night and even answer questions during those hours.

But I also understand that as a writer, to earn the readers’ approval, I must put in the effort.

This year, I’ve turned thirty, started a family, and those who’ve reached this age know how daunting the expenses of supporting a family can be.

I am not a saint, just an ordinary person among the masses.

Therefore, if there are friends who like this book and have the means, your continued support would be deeply appreciated — not asking for any tips, just hoping you’ll continue to subscribe and follow. That would already mean the world to me.

...

Let’s talk about the update schedule:

Thirty is the best age for striving, so updates must not fall behind.

Tomorrow at noon, the book will be published, and barring any surprises, everything will be updated between 12:30 and 1:00 p.m. A total of 12,000 words will be released, divided into four Chapters.

I’m not asking for much — just set a small target of 300 first-day subscriptions. If there are 100 more than that, I’ll add an extra update, to be completed the next day.

The subsequent updates will start with a daily 8,000 words for a month, and later will maintain at least 6,000 words daily. I’m not a machine, but I’ll prioritize quality, so please understand.

Lastly, I’m asking for monthly votes. Every time I finish typing and refresh the backend to see a few monthly votes, my adrenaline surges by twofold, and my typing speed temporarily evolves. For every 500 monthly votes, an additional update will be added, to be completed the next day.

We’ll see how it goes from there, and if I have more drafts and write faster, I’ll try my best to update more.

Finally, a big thank you to my editor Zhe Yu. Also, I hope the capable Yanzu Yifei can help support tomorrow’s first subscriptions. Thank you again.

That’s all.

See you tomorrow!
