Due to certain issues, the Chapter that was released today has been replaced with the first Chapter that is scheduled for tomorrow.
Everyone can read Chapter 31 first and then Chapter 32, so the order is a little reversed. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused our friends. Panda has made some modifications to that individual Chapter; please take another look.
As National Day approaches, many author friends are opening individual Chapters to ask for monthly tickets. Panda might as well open one too. But Panda is definitely not opening Chapters to ask for monthly tickets, as monthly tickets are only useful for those big-time authors, and Panda is just an average Joe stuck around 700 ranking. Panda opens this Chapter only to ask for some subscriptions.
"Chan Sect" has been in writing for over five months now.
Initially, "Chan Sect" wasn’t viewed favorably by the book friends. In this day and age, creating a unique Primordial World amidst the common narratives of Chan Sect and Primordial Black is virtually unreachable.
However, Panda doesn’t believe in this, and the three subsequent A-sign applications that were rejected had indeed made Panda quite disappointed, even to the point of considering giving up "Chan Sect." But by that time, "Chan Sect" had already been added to the favorites by over 7,000 book friends. To give up would be irresponsible towards these 7,000+ book friends.
Later, more and more friends encouraged Panda to regain spirits.
On July 5th, a message from the back office came; "Chan Sect" will be strongly recommended across the site next week. Conventionally, a site-wide strong recommendation means it will be put on shelves a week later, a dream for every author. That’s why Panda was so thrilled and stayed up all night.
As expected, a week later the editor contacted me, saying Chan Sect was put on shelves and asked me to maintain stable updates.
For this, Panda specifically asked for a day off from work to sit quietly in front of the computer at home.
On that day, the first 24-hour subscription for "Chan Sect" was over 800, which isn’t a lot but isn’t little either. The author friends in the group told me that the number often floats on this basis later, and it will at least rise between 1600-1800. This made Panda very excited. After all, being able to achieve such results with my first book is something to be happy about.
In the following days, what Panda did was to work during the day, write after returning home, and then open the backstage, upload Chapters, and check subscriptions. Every day I could see the delightful changes in the three data: total subscription, average subscription, and growth in yesterday’s subscription.
But a month later, this change was disrupted. The average subscription continuously fell from 920, breaking through the 800 barrier by mid-August, and had dropped to 760 by the end of the month, continuing this trend in September.
Panda felt very surprised; could it be that eight or nine out of ten of the 10,000 book friends who added the book to favorites don’t read it?
I’m not complaining about anything by saying this, but here I sincerely ask the book friends who have already favorited or are planning to favorite "Chan Sect" to add some subscriptions for Panda.
Although the overall routine of the Primordial World is generally the same, Panda guarantees that a unique Primordial World will be shown to the book friends!
Well, that’s a lot of blabbering, just a baseless moan from a nobody!
Lastly, I wish all friends a happy National Day and have fun!
