May 1st arrived, bringing a new month—and the terrifying double monthly votes once again.
I had originally wanted to write a deeply moving standalone chapter begging for votes.
But the explosion in this chapter of Dragon's Regret seemed to ignite all my emotions as well.
Then my mind went blank, and the strength drained from my entire body like the tide receding. I could no longer write any impassioned words.
April had passed, and I had updated 462,000 words.
I had actually survived another month. Like Kuafu chasing the sun, I had been racing every day as if burning oil and setting fire to myself.
This insane burst of updates had already lasted half a year.
May had arrived.
No rest, no breathing room. I had to keep fighting, keep fighting all the way through.
I had expected the monthly votes to be brutal at the start of May, but I never imagined they would be this brutal. I had fallen to somewhere beyond tenth place—it was enough to make me weep.
I truly wished double monthly votes did not exist. Then I could quietly write, without being so anxious and restless, without my heart burning with urgency.
Brothers, I beg you to cast your double monthly votes and help me hold my ranking!
Let me bury my head in writing without distraction.
Brothers, I beg for monthly votes. Don't let me be so anxious; let me sleep well.
Please, brothers and sisters!
Help me hold on!
I kowtow in thanks!
