Here's the translation:
So, today, April 1st, is the day the book goes on sale.
Originally, I didn't want to put it on sale this quickly. I planned to wait until it was over 150,000 characters, but I didn't expect it to hit 100,000 characters right on April 1st.
Some readers might not know, but the rules for putting books on sale in the Qidian's Two-Dimensional category require over 100,000 characters, while other categories require over 200,000 characters.
For small authors like us, we don't really have any expectations for the initial subscription numbers. Subscriptions tend to grow slowly. We actually care more about the full attendance bonus.
That's how it is for me, a small author. If it goes on sale on April 1st, it will be exactly one month, so I can get the full attendance bonus of 600 yuan. It's not a lot, but it's not insignificant for small authors like us. It makes up a decent portion of the total income, so I decided to put it on sale once it reached 100,000 characters.
I'm explaining all this in the hope that readers who want to read the legitimate version will be understanding. In reality, five thousand characters don't cost much, and legitimate readers generally know this.
As for pirated readers, of course, I urge you to switch to the legitimate version. If you don't, there's nothing I can do. As long as you don't come and talk nonsense in the legitimate version, that's fine.
Alright, it's on sale now. I hope everyone will support it. I wish you all good health, long life, and prosperity.
