Okay, next... please put your books away and sit down at your desks, Teacher Mantou is about to start the lesson!

First of all... this book will be available for purchase after midnight tonight. (P. S.: To those of you who want to take advantage and run, I hope you'll have some decency~~ It's not easy for me to sell... sell... sell my writing skills... Although my writing skills are mediocre and worthless, wouldn't it be great if we all filled the world with love together~~~)

Cough cough cough... Don't make a fuss, let the teacher finish speaking first.

Regarding the initial order... I hope students can give the teacher some face... those who have money, please support the teacher financially; those who don't have money, please support the teacher by showing your presence.

Some students might ask, why should I give you face? Who do you think you are!

Speaking of face, the teacher has to mention his time with Shanks back then... cough cough.

We've gone off-topic...

Here's the thing: initial subscriptions, to some extent, are about incentivizing creators—it's about your power to wield the little whip in your hands—and also about the book's subsequent performance... So we hope everyone will do us the honor of supporting it. After all, if you're active in the book club, and someone asks what you're reading, and you say you're reading a fanfiction, but then they search it up and, wow, the initial subscriptions are so low... not only will the teacher be embarrassed, but the students won't be able to hold back either, right?

Good grades, that's something to be proud of...

Wherever he goes, everyone gives him a thumbs up and compliments him, saying he has great taste.

Perhaps some new readers who have just gotten hooked will read the book again and think, "Wow, this author writes really well! He's handsome too, and all the readers are handsome guys!" See, doesn't the level and sophistication suddenly go up?

Therefore... this is a matter of shared honor and disgrace, please understand.

The initial order costs only a few cents, so it shouldn't be too much of a burden... For those who are under a lot of pressure, I hope that when you see this notice, you'll quickly go out and rummage through the trash cans to look for cardboard boxes, plastic bottles, and the like. Recently, the price of recyclables has skyrocketed, and I'm very optimistic about the market.

In our class, there are some shy and cute students who don't want to pick up trash, thinking it's beneath them... Well, the teacher has another method for you: go streetwalking... sell... perform, that's right, perform! Of course, there are also some rich kids in the class who aren't short of money; forget about first-time subscriptions, full subscriptions are a piece of cake! This group of students might be saying again, "Stop with the nonsense, just tell me how many chapters you'll update after it's published? Making me happy is better than anything else..."

Here, let me emphasize this first... whether you're rich or poor, I treat everyone the same, you're all readers. Don't think that just because you have a little money you can act all high and mighty in front of me, all charming and suave, with your sweet talk like you've been touched by honey~ I don't fall for that, understand? If you've got the guts, give me your phone number, and I'll come to your door and give you a good 'education'.

Ahem... Just kidding, let's get down to business.

Anyway, subscriptions are very important, and if you're able, I hope everyone will lend a hand.

If you can order the whole thing, that would be best.

As for future articles, I can't guarantee how well they will be written, but I will do my best... If one day you feel that my writing is bad or sloppy, you can unsubscribe at any time, and I will still sincerely thank you for your support along the way.

Actually, this isn't the first time I've written about Hunter x Hunter. I've been off writing for a long time, and I've been away from Qidian for several years. My writing skills have become rusty, and my writing ability has declined... So, I'm not really confident at all. I'm quite insecure, sigh.

Hunter x Hunter was my introduction to Japanese anime. Actually, the earliest anime I watched was Astro Boy, Dragon Ball, Slam Dunk, etc., but I had no concept of Japanese anime at that time... But The Hunter x Hunter was a work that caught my eye and made me fascinated.

The creation of this book was inspired by a day when I was bored and wanted to kill time. I decided to watch something. At first, I wanted to watch "My Own Swordsman", but then I decided to watch some old comics. While searching, I found "The Hunter x Hunter" and then clicked play again.

On a whim, I wrote a book. I just intended to write it casually for fun from the beginning, and even the title was very random... The words "Supreme Will" were also criticized. Well... you guessed it, it's the old man's ring.

But I really didn't expect that after so long, Hunter x Hunter would still be so popular... If it were released now, it would definitely be considered an old anime, and not many people would know about it... It doesn't have the influence of Naruto, Bleach, or One Piece. What do young people like to watch now? Demon Slayer and Jujutsu no Soma, those are top-tier anime, and they are just as exciting.

Maybe it's because I'm getting old... Watching older anime, that 360p visual feel inexplicably makes me nostalgic... Hunter x Hunter x Hunter isn't popular on Qidian, at least not as many people I know have written Hunter x Hunter books well, except for the great author Purple-Blue Pig. I'm genuinely impressed and happy that he was able to write two Hunter x Hunter books in a row... But I never thought my own book would achieve that kind of success. My writing skills are far inferior to the great author's... I'm just venting my resentment towards the old rascal.

One reader once said that all the writers who wrote about Hunter x Hunter are 'dead'.

I'm not kidding, that's what I think too... So, I never thought this book would have so many handsome guys supporting it.

Are you... also remnants of the old era?

Let's have a heart-to-heart talk...

This is why this book is here before you...

I also have to thank my editor. Good Luck... I never expected that getting a manuscript accepted would be so difficult these days. With all sorts of themes, styles, and settings dazzling people, he still firmly chose this book that didn't seem like it would be popular.

After all, games like Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece feel like the mainstream.

Picking up the pen again, starting to type on the keyboard again... well, my feelings are a bit complicated...

After all the twists and turns, I'm about to start writing a book again... Maybe this is just fate.

Sorry for the mess, classmates. What happened? It went off-topic as I was writing... Getting it published is the main point!

To be honest, I didn't have a prepared script! Classmates, don't get angry yet! Let me explain!

First, I haven't written a book in a long time, so my typing speed is very slow... I used to be able to easily write 3,000 words an hour, but now I can only manage 2,000 at most, and I still have to revise and edit.

Secondly, I have to go to work. The economy is bad right now, as those who know, know. Writing a book doesn't even put food on the table... It's tough. I'm squeezing every spare moment to write, and personally, I don't want to sacrifice quality for speed...

However, I'm slowly getting back into form, so don't worry.

Although I don't have any drafts saved up, I'll be updating a lot more after it's released, at least 10,000 words! That's right, 10,000 words!

Are you happy or not?! Hey hey hey... don't spit yet, I haven't finished speaking.

Even if your typing speed is terrible, the teacher's attitude and sincerity speak for themselves, and that's what makes an update! Isn't attitude more important than an update?

I can't do a big update all at once, but I can take it slow and steady, gradually increasing from two updates a day before the book goes on sale to three... I'm confident about that.

Moreover, my chapters are usually 3k words long, and 2k words are relatively rare.

Right... do you prefer a one-time affair or a life of constant revelry? A smart person would definitely choose the latter...

Its main selling point is its long-lasting and effective properties!

So, I hope you all will subscribe... If I ever drive a Rolls-Royce, every single screw will be thanks to you guys, hehe. (Just kidding.) I'm not picky, I'd be content with a Wuling.

Earning money standing up, that's how tough I am~~~ If I want an extra chapter for the first subscription, I'll have to pay on credit first.

With 30,000 favorites, that's 3,000 initial subscriptions at a 10:1 ratio. For every additional 300 subscriptions, one more chapter will be added.

Some students here are probably going to curse, "Who do you think you are?! You have no sincerity at all, you're just deceiving our feelings. If you don't want to write, ptooey! You scumbag!"

I really need to explain. I'm afraid to gamble... because I write too slowly, and if I end up with a mountain of debt and can't pay it back... I'll be ashamed! I won't be able to act cool anymore, and being cool is a lifelong thing, something I care about a lot! Paying off loans is so difficult these days~~~ I could easily lower my expectations and scam everyone out of their little coins, because I know I can't pay it back... So, even if it's a 'loan,' it has to be within my means. I'm truly 100% sincere!

Then, let's talk about tips and such. I'm already happy that you guys can subscribe and read the book. As for tips... I don't care about them. Earning money isn't easy for anyone.

I'd like to humbly ask for your monthly votes...

He pleaded softly, not daring to speak loudly...

As for monthly tickets, I haven't written a book in a long time and I'm not sure about the current rules for extra chapters. Anyway, I'll try my best to update a few more each month as a way of repaying the favor.

That's all I wanted to say... Please subscribe! Please subscribe! Please subscribe! Please subscribe! Please subscribe!

Sending love. (^_-) Finally, there are a few people who want to sell their services, and they're asking me to be their sacrifice. If you're interested, you can check them out and see if they suit your taste.

There are two ripe melons that have already been put on the shelves.

The first book is "What Evil Intentions Could Batman Have?" (A book by a big shot in the group, quality guaranteed, quite a lot of words, no need to wait, just start reading!). Chen Tao never expected that he would not only transmigrate, but also become Batman himself.

As we all know, Batman is incredibly intelligent, possesses exceptional wisdom, and has unparalleled fighting skills, but—what does all of this have to do with me, a time traveler?

Oh! It's okay, I can inherit Batman's powers and memories...?!? Wait, why are they all parallel universe versions? —Second, Under One Person: Joining the Chat Group from the Tang Sect Arc (A newly released work by One Person, its performance is soaring, excellent quality, worth checking out!) —American Comics Starting with Street Fighter

Independent Game Developers Starting from Subspace

I will transform human civilization into a space empire.

In this bizarre world, all I want is to have some fun.

Romantic Daily Life Starting in Tokyo

Cutting-edge technology: I own a car modification shop

If you're bored, I recommend checking this out... Be a little arrogant, it's fine.

Ring ring ring! get out of class is over~~ PS: This post was almost 3k words long, it hurts so much~~ I'm really... an honest person! Going back to writing now~~ Haven't written two chapters yet today o(╥╥)o
