To be fair, I'd said before that reaching Alliance status wouldn't mean extra chapters, so I never pushed my esteemed readers to become Alliance members, nor had I ever asked for donations.
It wasn't that I was ungrateful. I simply had the will but not the strength—four updates a day were already exhausting.
Because I had to work, until about half a month ago, I was still getting up around four every day to write. After getting sick once, I couldn't quite hold on, so I moved the update time to the evening. Only then did I adjust my schedule, allowing myself to sleep until around seven before getting up to write. Most of the time, I truly didn't have the strength to add extra updates in gratitude.
But a Silver Alliance was simply too fierce.
Since that was the case, I might as well lay my cards on the table.
On July 1st: ten updates.
Then, during the first week of July, I'd try to pick two more days for five updates each. This was already the author's limit.
Lastly, thanks to Boss Elvin2016 for the Silver Alliance!
