I just received a last-minute notice from the backend: the book would go premium at midnight tonight.
Tomorrow's update would be posted directly at midnight, though I needed to confirm that VIP access had been activated, so the chapter release might not be perfectly punctual.
This book's stats and traffic had far exceeded my expectations. Especially yesterday, when more than two thousand new readers and new bookmarks flooded in all at once for the first time—then the author got completely wrecked and shut down by the huge wave of people roasting me (;′⌒`)...
Because the numbers were so good, the ratio of bookmarks to fake follows had stayed between 2 and 3, so I'd be updating ten thousand words a day from here on out. I promised to keep it up for at least ten days. If there wasn't some despair-inducing cliff-like collapse in follow-up reading, I'd keep exploding with updates until I dried up.
Readers who knew even a little about me, or had read my old books, knew that for an old salted fish who used to just scrape by for the attendance bonus every month and routinely took two days off, this was practically a species transformation—Martial Soul Evolution!
I hoped everyone could give me a little motivation and encouragement. (＞人＜;) Thank you.
