It goes up on the shelves tomorrow at midnight.
Today... tomorrow... let me calculate...
If I haven't miscalculated, it should be in two hours.
The book was published on November 15, and it's been a little over a month as of today. Thank you to all my new and old readers for your support, especially the five Alliance Leaders. Their IDs look extremely familiar—they've been longtime readers who've followed me all the way.
I saw some readers asking why I was putting it on the shelves at the end of the month.
For one thing, I decided to publish the book on a whim and hadn't realized the current rules for new books going up on the shelves. For another, to be realistic, its follow-through performance during the new-book period was only average, so naturally it got pushed to the back.
My emotions are pretty stable personally. After all, I managed to write the 99 book all the way through despite only getting a hundred first subscriptions. This book's results are far better than they were during the 99 period. Combined with my transition to original fiction, I can't call it a great victory, but it is certainly a small win.
As for those of you reading this, whether you'll become emotionally unstable, smash a few Golden Alliance Leaders or Silver Alliance Leaders in a fit of rage, or something like that, I honestly have no idea.
Personally, I think it's better to keep your emotions stable. The economy hasn't been very stable these past two years, and the fact that everyone can continue subscribing is already the greatest support you could give me.
If you really have something in mind, I can wait two years for you. Thirty years east of the river and thirty years west—who knows, perhaps,
