Final Remarks

~

It was finished. I truly thank everyone for your companionship and support all the way.

Some readers might feel this book ended very quickly, but in fact, I hadn't missed a single day of updates since it began. I averaged eight thousand words a day, so in terms of both output and total word count, it was still a long novel.

Honestly, writing this book was very stressful. I didn't get paid when I took time off, yet I still had to pay my own social insurance. Writing was Integrity's only source of income.

Back when I had just entered society, I actually handled pressure quite well. I could survive on barely a thousand yuan a month by myself. But now, I truly have elderly parents above me and young children below me. The pressure is enormous. My hair has been falling out in handfuls, and I can already see the scalp on top of my head.

Because it had been so long since I last started a new book, I didn't realize how important the proportion of follow-up readers was. When it first went premium, seeing just three hundred average subscriptions was enough to make anyone go numb. Under the pressure of life, the best choice at the time would actually have been to cut it and start something new. I really couldn't sleep at all during the first weekend after it went premium. For two days, I lay awake until dawn. In the end, I still left a message for my editor saying I wanted to finish it. I truly have to thank Editor Midnight Snack here. Despite those initial numbers, they still helped arrange an app recommendation when it went premium, giving it another boost, and later added major recommendations like Bestsellers. With everyone's continued support,
