Thoughts on Going Premium

The book "Water Release" has been written for a long time, with many stumbles and setbacks along the way.

Many people have asked me in the book review section why a book that has been published for a long time can make it onto the new book charts.

Should I tell you that I wasn't satisfied with the first draft I wrote, so I deleted hundreds of thousands of words and rewrote it?

This book was only signed at the end of July last month. From Qidian's perspective, a newly signed book is considered a new book.

(Serious face) No problem.

In short, after dragging it out to 500,000 words, it was finally published.

So it was quite emotional.

Someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder like me is actually not suited to writing books.

I was halfway through writing when I felt dissatisfied, so I scrapped it all and rewrote it.

Sometimes, even a single sentence or word can make me struggle with something for half a day.

Sometimes there's not enough time, so I have to send it out, and I don't even dare to look at what I've written.

Moreover, I'm still a beginner, learning as I write. What you see as several thousand words is probably the result of me reading tens of thousands of words, dozens of web pages, and academic papers.

I apologize for the clumsy writing.

If I weren't so exhausted, I would definitely have revised the previous 300,000 words.

Moreover, I write slowly. I had a month's worth of drafts saved up, which originally had more than 40,000 words, but I accidentally deleted 10,000 words. I was so frustrated I almost vomited blood.

So what.

The massive update you're expecting might not be as much as you imagine.

(Crying) I can't write that much.

I can only release the first five chapters. Afterwards, I will guarantee at least 4000 words per update (*000). The bonus chapter plan is as follows:

Bonus chapter for subscribers: We currently have 35,000 favorites. If the subscription-to-favorites ratio reaches 15:1, which means over 2,000 initial subscriptions, we will add one more chapter. If it reaches 10:1, which means over 500 initial subscriptions, we will add another chapter.

Bonus chapters for donations: One extra chapter for the new leader, three extra chapters for the new alliance leader, and one extra chapter for a donation of 0000 Qidian coins. (Currently there are four leaders and one hall master; thank you for their donations, so five extra chapters will be added for now.)

Bonus chapter for monthly pass: Let's give it our all for the first month... 400 votes for one chapter, no upper limit.

The extra chapters won't be released all at once; they'll be released gradually later because I need to keep some drafts on hand for revisions.

The initial subscriptions upon release are very important. We hope all readers will support the official release.

Let's just shout out some slogans as usual.
