First, I'm asking for monthly votes!
Then let me report on last month's update schedule.
I updated for twenty-nine days and took two days off, for a total of roughly 180,000 words. Excluding the 18,000-word side stories, the main text only amounted to 162,000 words.
Excluding the two days off, the average daily word count for the main text was around 5,500. Including the side stories, it was 6,200.
Side stories couldn't count toward normal updates, so last month's update count was not ideal.
Little Orange would like to apologize here. I had originally planned to average at least 6,000 words a day, but I didn't expect the main text to average only 5,500 even without counting the days off.
There were quite a few factors. First, I had been staying up late for a long time and wasn't in good condition. Then the plot got stuck at a certain point, which led to prolonged writer's block.
May was already over, so I won't go into the reasons too much. After all, it had become an unchangeable reality.
Let's talk about June.
First, let me report my results, as I've mentioned to everyone before.
Little Orange's book actually had the highest average subscriptions among all ongoing Hokage stories. Its current average subscriptions had reached 15,500.
It had been very difficult for a book that never even made it onto Sanjiang to come this far. Thank you all so much for your continued support.
When Little Orange's book first went premium, I truly thought it had flopped. Every work I wrote during university had made it onto Sanjiang, yet this one, written after graduation, hadn't. It hit me hard at the time.
Now Little Orange wanted to make one more push—toward 20,000 average subscriptions. For fanfiction, 20,000 was practically the ceiling.
