This is the second installment of my note on going premium.
I accidentally posted the previous one under "About the Work." That volume-setting feature really is useless.
As usual, thanks to my editor, thanks to my chief editor, and thanks to Yuewen.
And then, thanks to all the readers who have supported my book.
The first-day subscriptions over twenty-four hours came to sixty-seven hundred. However, because I updated an hour late when the book went premium, the website's statistics were calculated from noon yesterday to noon today, so it was probably around sixty-four or sixty-five hundred?
I just updated, and after more than forty minutes, the additional subscriptions are at fifteen hundred. That's just too real.
Pretty good. I had already prepared myself for the book flopping. That was about how many Blue White Society got toward the end, too.
As usual, I will never guard against piracy. In my view, piracy cannot be stopped. Deliberately changing chapters would only hurt the readers' experience.
Ninety-nine percent of veteran readers have read pirated books. I started in my second year of junior high and read pirated books for six or seven years.
But when people encounter a book they truly like, they will support it of their own accord. For example, when I received my first month's salary after starting work, I tipped Zhang Heng. He didn't really need that bit of support, but I liked him, and it also made up for the fact that I had read Infinite Terror and followed Death's Beginning through pirated copies.
Now that my circumstances have improved, I always read genuine copies. I even read my own book through a genuine subscription on my phone: after each update, I subscribe to my own chapter, then scroll through the chapter comments... Didn't see that coming,
