At last, the time had come. Yes, it was time for this book to go premium.
As a newbie author writing a novel for the first time, I truly hadn't considered submitting through internal channels at the beginning.
So The Hyuga Main Family of Konoha was published directly!
Longtime readers who had been following from the start might know that I originally updated three chapters a day, each with over 3,333 words, publishing more than ten thousand words daily.
By the ninth day, I'd written ninety thousand words and still hadn't received a site message. My heart went cold!
It felt like I'd have to keep writing purely for love.
Then Editor Jiang Cha, who is now my editor, noticed me and pulled me in for a contract!
I could say a thousand things, ten thousand things, and still not express how grateful I am to Editor Jiang Cha.
When I first signed the contract, my editor and some other authors in the group told me not to update ten thousand words a day before the new book went premium, since it was easy to burn through the new-book period too quickly.
That was when I learned that updating too much early on wasn't a good thing either. For a newbie writing a novel for the first time, it was like opening the door to a whole new world.
Therefore, I'm especially grateful to my editor and the other veteran authors in the group.
After that, I started writing three chapters a day but posting two, at 8 a.m. and 12 p.m.
My daily word count was around 6,666 to 7,000 words.
During that time, this book also got recommended once. But because I'd updated too much in the early stages, I hadn't expected it to exceed two hundred thousand
