CHAPTER 97: LAUNCH STATEMENT_1

The novel will be updated and become available for paid subscription in the early morning of September 1st, at the usual time.

I’ll release over 12,000 words on the first day, and over 8,000 words daily thereafter.

(Just a reminder to everyone: after the novel is available for paid subscription, each Chapter will be over 4,000 words long. They won’t be as short as before!)

Okay, back to the main topic.

First of all, I’m asking for your initial subscriptions! And your monthly tickets!

I don’t need to elaborate on the importance of initial subscriptions. They are truly, truly important.

I hope those of you who are letting Chapters pile up before reading can also support me with an initial subscription. This will impact the series of recommendations arranged for this book, so Goudan thanks you all!

Monthly tickets are also extremely important. I hope you can all send plenty Goudan’s way.

If I receive enough monthly tickets, I will strive to release bonus Chapters on top of the guaranteed 8,000 words daily!

Next, I want to thank my editor Canaan, who has been discussing the plot and writing methods with me since the book started. We chat for a long time every day, and his help and support have been substantial.

I messed up around Chapter 77, which drove some readers away. After our analysis and discussion, we thought of a better way to handle it. When I find the spare time, I’ll rewrite Chapter 77.

I thank the chief editor Beihe for his guidance.

I want to thank Gunda, Qingquanju, and the newspaper seller for their Chapter endorsement support, as well as the many author friends led by my good friend One Slash, Slash, Slash, for their monetary rewards and Chapter endorsement support!

I’m a hardcore fan of Gunda and Wanren.

(Let’s not mention Wanren for now.)

Fans of Gunda must know that ’Piloting Mecha’ is a long-held ambition for Gunda and his fans, and this book was started with the goal of tearing mechas apart.

Ancient Martial Arts + Mecha—this genre is quite niche.

I originally planned to just have a little fun with it myself, but I didn’t expect it to do this well. It has far exceeded my expectations.

I’m sure I’ll write with even more dedication in the future.

Some friends said I was padding the story. Alas, that’s just my style. It’s tough to change. I can only promise to make up for it with more updates in the futuro.

After the novel goes paid, I will temporarily raise the fan score requirement for commenting to fend off some malicious trolls.

That’s about it.

Finally, thank you all for your continuous support. I hope you will continue to support me. It’s impossible to make a lengthy novel perfect or satisfy everyone, so I hope you can all be understanding.

Thank you.

(Please get your initial subscriptions! And send in your monthly tickets!)
