Chapter 101: Putting on the Shelf Speech (Crying and Begging for First Subscriptions)
Translator: 549690339
Today, the book is officially online.
Honestly, I’m really scared, because the performance of this book has always been so-so, just barely in the middle tier among its contemporaries. I’m afraid that the subscription results won’t be ideal, which would mean another struggle.
I hope everyone can support me by subscribing, and now that it’s online, the performance mainly depends on the subscriptions. Continue reading isn’t as important as subscribing now.
So, if you friends want to nurture the book, you could set up an automatic subscription, which is good for you, good for me, and good for everyone, providing some insurance for this book.
Thanks again for the support of my readers. Without you, this book could not have made it this far— that’s the honest truth.
Without any one of you, this book would already be gone. That we’ve gotten to this point is a collective effort.
Next, I want to thank my editor YY. You’re amazing. You tirelessly help me review the drafts and confirm the direction of the plot. I’ve really learned a lot. Thinking back, I really knew nothing at the beginning.
Writing web novels is far from as simple as I thought it would be.
About the rules for adding extra chapters, many people have asked me, but I’ve never dared to set them because I’m also unsure about the actual performance of this book, whether it’s real or not. Setting the bar too high would be just indulgent, and setting it too low would be a number I couldn’t reach even if it killed me.
As you may know, I’m now a sophomore, soon to be a junior. Although my schedule is relatively light, I’m not full-time. Updating twice a day is already quite busy for me.
I won’t be increasing the minimum number of updates during the summer vacation because I need to build up my stockpile of drafts. Writing and coding everything daily makes it hard to organize the plot. Maybe I can do it in August.
But for now, if I reach three hundred first-time subscriptions, I’ll add an extra chapter. If it reaches six hundred, I’ll add another, and so on.
One alliance leader equals two chapters.
Silver Alliance equals five chapters.
YY’s requirement for me is to reach twelve hundred. This means this goal is possible. I hope we can all work together. How much I’ll be able to burst out depends on the confidence you give me.
Just a reminder, the first-time subscription is counted within the first twenty-four hours; anything beyond that time doesn’t count.
Updates start at nine o’clock tonight.
Last but not least, I have something I really want to say about this book. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine how nasty comments can get, and the quality truly is terrible.
I’m a new author, and I didn’t want to delete comments because it seemed like I couldn’t take criticism. But sometimes, I literally explode, fuming in front of the computer for half a day.
But in the last two days, I started deleting comments, and suddenly, it felt so refreshing. Turns out, silencing other people’s nasty mouths is this satisfying without even having to fight back. It’s like reaching a higher state of mind.
Also, I’m just someone who writes novels. I know jack about Wilderness Survivalist.
The content you see is all organized and written after I’ve researched the material. I can only guarantee that I’ve checked every point, but I can’t ensure absolute accuracy, even though I really take great care with my work—errors don’t happen often, and I’m very mindful of many details.
For example, how many people noticed that the protagonist’s height has been changing?
That’s because a person’s height is not entirely precise, and it can even differ by up to one centimeter between morning and night.
So if you want to refute it, at least do some research first, right?
Wild rabbits don’t burrow; it’s the burrowing rabbits that do. Short-tailed Vipers can climb trees, and they’re even quite skilled at it—don’t pigeonhole them because they look short and stout. And sparrows are categorized as Third-category, Second-class, not second-class.
The number of wolves in a pack can reach twenty, thirty is not unheard of, and their weight can be more than twenty or thirty kilograms—doubling it wouldn’t be a problem. There are numerous such examples.
But it’s fine if you don’t know. These are not common knowledge. But could you please not make your comments so offensive? Must you add a “heh,” “just kidding,” or that kind of sarcasm that implies whether you even understand? I’m speechless.
Without those words, it would be bad enough, but when you add them, it just shows ignorance, you know?
Finally, I want to thank you, the readers, for your continuous support of Zhi Huang. Thank you!
I hope this book can continue to accompany you all!
