I received an urgent notice from my editor after ten o'clock, telling me the book was going premium. It caught me a little off guard, but there wasn't much to say. Starting today, I'll be doing ten thousand characters daily. Chase hard, and I'll update hard. Anyway, I have no classes in the second semester of my senior year. If you're fierce enough, I'll weld myself to my computer all day.
What my editor said was actually a little unexpected. I'd originally planned to drop three extra chapters today, give everyone a small burst of excitement, then aggressively pull in more follow-up readers and try to secure a second round of recommendations. Friday's numbers were seven hundred readers, and I figured reaching nine hundred by Tuesday shouldn't have been difficult.
But after asking some author friends and editors around me, they all clearly told me that Douluo fanfics mainly relied on smart recommendations. The first round of new-book recommendations had the best results, while the second, third, and fourth rounds were fairly average. I figured that since that was the case, I should listen to everyone. After all, they either had several hit books under their belts or were editors who had seen hundreds of books. Better to listen to people who knew the business.
Nothing more to say. I'll keep up ten thousand characters daily. Every additional 500 monthly votes means one extra chapter. 500 first-day subscriptions means one extra chapter; 1,000 first-day subscriptions means two extra chapters, and so on.
Ten thousand characters daily is guaranteed. Every additional Helmsman means one extra chapter, and every additional Alliance Leader means ten extra chapters. Same old line: as long as you're fierce enough, I'll weld myself to my computer. Let's do this!
