Esteemed Readers, I humbly request your Monthly Votes! (Limited-time bonus chapter rules)

Thank you for your support, Esteemed Readers—I read every single one of your comments!

At the start of the month, I'd like to ask for your Monthly Votes—they really help with the New Book Period's performance!

Bonus chapter rule: After the book goes on sale, every twenty Monthly Votes earns one extra chapter. This offer runs until the third. Please, I'm begging you!

This book is already preparing for release, and the mass chapter drops are coming soon!

(This single-chapter post will hereafter serve as the new female lead character design thread.)
