Today, the book finally went live. I am grateful for everyone's continued support and would also like to thank Editor Yexiao for his help. It's the first time in many years that I could launch on the first of the month and maintain full attendance for the entire month, which is just delightful~
Your subscriptions and my update speed both play a crucial role in our success, so I'll definitely try to update as frequently as possible.
To be honest, I'm at a rather awkward stage with my integrity now. The leave time from my day job is expected to run out next year, and then I will face some tough choices. I really enjoy writing novels, but with the weight of both elderly parents and young children on my shoulders, I feel like I'm constantly being chased from behind, forcing me to keep pushing forward.
Once, while resting, I came across a short video sketch. It depicted the weariness of a day's work, and the moment of eating a meal, followed by the discovery that the parents had spent thousands on health products and even got some eggs for free, and then facing the daughter telling them 7+7=11, and at bedtime, the wife asking if he would still love her if she turned into a caterpillar.
This kind of video is really bittersweet. While others might find it amusing, I see it as a reflection. But as long as my family is healthy and safe, and I have my parents, wife, and daughter by my side, life is actually quite good. That's why I keep working hard at writing to provide for my family—it's a straight path.
I won't say much more, let's talk about the update schedule after the launch.
After the launch, I'll make sure to release at least three chapters daily. If nothing unusual happens, the updates will come in a batch at five in the afternoon. If there are missing chapters, it may be due to middle chapters being blocked, but since this book isn't of that controversial type, the likelihood should be lower.
For every 500 initial subscriptions, I'll add one chapter.
Once the average subscription exceeds 1000, for every additional 100, I'll add one more chapter.
The main incentive is still subscription-based additional chapters. Monthly tickets and rewards are less predictable, and although we can fantasize, I still have to consider scenarios where I might not be able to fulfill these commits. Therefore, I will only add chapters symbolically, and I've set the thresholds quite high.
An extra chapter for each Alliance Hierarch.
During the first month, one extra chapter for every 1000 monthly tickets.
Uh, the reason it's only for the first month is because I surely won't have any chapters in reserve afterward. The few I have now need to see me through the Spring Festival. Rather than not fulfilling a promise later and having to feign death, it's better to be honest now…
On the first day of launch, I'll release five chapters, which includes the guaranteed three, plus the owed chapter for the Alliance Hierarch, and on top of that, I've also added the extra chapter for the initial 500 subscriptions in advance.
I beg you not to slap my face. Although the book was launched earlier than planned because of a faster update pace during the new book period, I'm hoping 500 won't be too much to handle. Whimpering…
