This novel, Shelter, is also about to reach one million words. Everyone who has followed it this far is surely an old reader.
As a farming novel, it has been criticized by legitimate readers for its slow pace and various other issues. Sanjin can understand all of that.
But today, I really can't take it anymore.
Ever since the major promotional recommendation ended, the number of readers following this book on pirated websites has multiplied several times over! And that's just one pirated website—it shows that there are ten thousand readers.
Just as Huodong said: many people didn't abandon the book after it went premium; they went to read pirated copies for free instead. Almost all of the comments there are negative, full of insults toward me and all kinds of disgusting remarks.
If they went to a restaurant, ate a meal without paying, and then insulted the chef, what would happen? Every day after work, I come home and write until two or three in the morning. I even spend my lunch break and midday rest time plotting and writing. All that effort can be obtained for just a few cents, and in return, this is how I'm treated.
There's really nothing I can do.
Starting tomorrow, I'll be adjusting the update schedule. Each day's chapter will be published after two in the morning. Some of the sentences may be jumbled at first, but after a while, I'll revise them into normal word order.
This is to prevent certain illegal websites from scraping the chapters.
After seeing an update between 2:00 and 4:00 a.m., please don't read the chapter during that time. You can read it normally afterward.
If you still can't read it normally, long-press the chapter in the chapter list and select Refresh or Redownload.
