Hello, everyone. I was up until five last night and got up before ten today. When I opened my eyes and checked the stats, I was honestly a little stunned. You're all too much—seriously, way too much. This is... this is just too good, isn't it?
I immediately grabbed a bottle of Red Bull and worked overtime to rush out two chapters as a token of appreciation for all you esteemed readers.
But I really don't have any experience with this, and I didn't understand how important the New Book List was. I also forgot to post a standalone chapter asking for votes last night, so I'm making up for it now. Old Ghost has been writing for so many years, but this is the first time I've launched a book at the beginning of the month. I used to launch around the middle of the month, completely casually, just doing whatever I wanted. It wasn't until I was writing Crimson Moon that I learned there was an advantage to launching at the beginning of the month: you could compete for the New Book Monthly Ticket List...
(I really have no face calling myself an old author...)
Right now, Old Ghost should be ranked third on the New Book Monthly Ticket List. I'm truly grateful to everyone—rolling around and thanking you all!
I remember that the monthly tickets broke seven thousand yesterday, so I still owe everyone one more update. Today, the monthly tickets shot past ten thousand, so that definitely counts as another update too. I'll consider these two chapters as paying back what I owe first, then I'll do my best to write as many more chapters as I can.
I also hope that those of you who still have tickets left will give me a few more,
