A note on going premium
It's going to be available tomorrow, and to be honest, I have mixed feelings.
This is my second book, and it did better than the first one, which is quite an improvement.
The previous book was Guimi fanfiction, which received two rounds of recommendations, but the increase in its collection was not ideal.
After all, it's my first book, and it's not very well written yet.
In addition, updates were not frequent, and when it was released, it only had a little over two thousand favorites and a little over two hundred first-time subscriptions.
But I want to write down the story I envisioned. I don't want to give up on that story. Most importantly, I don't want Xiao Bai to die so young. I want Xiao Bai and Arthur to have a complete ending.
So I kept writing, and thanks to the support of my readers, I eventually reached 2,000 views and 16,000 favorites.
I actually considered giving up at one point, and even stopped updating for three months, but I eventually picked it up again and finished writing it.
To be honest, I admire myself.
This Douluo fanfiction went through three rounds of recommendations, and to be honest, the increase in its collection really shocked me, someone who's never seen anything like it.
I would like to thank all the readers for their support, which has made this book a great success.
They could even make it to the fourth round of recommendations, and if they're lucky, they might even get a chance to compete in the Sanjiang region.
But I gave up on that and chose to list on the first day of the month to earn full attendance bonuses. I'm not a very ambitious person.
I don't know if it's because Douluo Continent fanfiction is more popular than Guimi of the Ghosts fanfiction, or because my writing skills have really improved, but I've never seen this book's collection increase like this before.
Actually, I intended to use this book, "The Scholar," as practice material, because I felt I wasn't very good at writing characters, so I chose a simpler world setting like Douluo.
A simple world setting makes it easy to write.
Once I've honed my writing skills, I'll start an original book, and that will make me a legend, achieving the highest status.
Of course, this is just talking in my sleep.
Readers who have followed this book from the beginning should know that it is somewhat connected to the previous one, and there's even Xiao Bai appearance by a novice reader.
I originally planned to let Xiao Bai's intrusion have a greater impact on this world, and I even set up a villainous force. However, I later found that creating an original villain in fan fiction didn't give readers a good impression, so I abandoned that idea.
Therefore, Xiao Bai's only impact on this world is Xiao Wu's pendant, and Xiao Bai will not appear in the main story again.
Another point is about the research theory. Some readers commented that the previous chapters seemed like "I think," but if you read further, you'll see that it's not just "I think," but rather that the Jade Pendant has an influence on it.
However, I didn't really plan that plot well at the time. I should have mentioned the Jade Pendant pendant earlier. Now that I've revised it, it looks better.
Now that I've finished telling the story itself, let's talk about the extra chapter.
I type very slowly, and I write part-time, so it's basically impossible for me to update frequently.
That's about enough to make a living by working full-time. Unless one day my writing income far exceeds my salary, then I might try writing full-time.
As for the extra chapter on the day of release, let's base it on the initial subscription figures.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, all in one look!
I guarantee at least four chapters per day, and I'll add an extra chapter for every thousand first-time subscribers. I'm setting the standards a bit high so I don't have to worry about not getting my money back.
Donations are not required; readers can contribute according to their means.
That's about all for now. Thank you all for your support, and I hope you'll continue to subscribe.
