An Update on the Situation
The initial subscription data was 2,800, and the average subscription was 2,362. There were no extra chapters, only 15 extra chapters for the monthly tickets owed from last month.
I was proven wrong. I was too arrogant. I didn't handle the plot well and forcibly delayed the release schedule. The new book period was dragged out for too long, fifty days. If I weren't aiming for the Three Rivers Awards or the ten-chapter release, I would have released it with two chapters half a month ago.
Writing a lot of chapters at once is too mentally taxing. I always run into problems when I try to write a lot. It's probably for the best that I didn't add more chapters to my subscription list. That way, I don't have to force myself to write 10,000 chapters a day for the whole month. I can occasionally write 10,000 chapters a day to pay off my debts, and then I can take a break when I have time to write three chapters a day.
Regarding the quality of the chapters, there's no question about it; I'm well aware of it myself. During the initial release period, I only wrote two chapters a day for over forty days straight without stockpiling any drafts. I meticulously crafted every detail, and there's no need for further explanation.
After the book was released, I updated frequently, and I also had personal life issues to deal with, so I didn't have time to polish the chapters.
I compared my writing state with when I was writing the new book. You see, some chapters are padded, and there are so many plot points that you don't understand, and some are abrupt. That's because my descriptions were off. When I was writing, I treated these as necessary plot points, and I had ideas to explain the logic. I even organized my thoughts and prepared to write them. But when I saw that the chapters were already quite long, I felt that writing a lot of explanations would be too padded, so I didn't include them.
It's the same during the initial release period, but then there's time to revise and edit.
This book has a pretty wild imagination, and many readers are eagerly anticipating the plot. I've thought about it and decided not to act impulsively and write tens of thousands of words a day or a month all at once. Instead, I'll focus on polishing each chapter carefully.
