It would go premium at midnight, with three chapters released at 12:00 and two more at 8:00 p.m.
After that, the update schedule would be adjusted to 8:00 p.m.
First of all, thank you all for reading and supporting this book.
The 2,200 readers following along got the author onto Sanjiang. I was incredibly excited.
Thank you, everyone.
This book had always followed the principle of character portrayal that "the most absurd personalities in this book are all people the author has met." Maybe it was because of my own life experiences, but some readers found it readable, while others thought, "Damn, what the hell is this idiot author writing?"
For example, back when the author's... Forget it. No need to complain. The world was small, after all.
Life was real. I believed these things had happened to countless firefighters before.
Please be understanding about the parts that weren't written well.
What people mentioned most was still the pacing and update schedule. The author would do his best, but honestly, even with this few updates, there were still very few saved chapters.
The author had way too much inner monologue and nonsense. You wouldn't have been able to stand reading the original drafts. More than thirty thousand words had been cut and revised.
All I could say was that after going premium, I would do my best to update more.
Going premium at this time meant the results were destined not to be great. I could only hope to do my best.
The editor also said, "What kind of crappy firefighting story is this? No one's going to read it. It naturally repels every reader."
Author: "But I'm writing military fiction, and urban military fiction at that. It's more laid-back than ordinary military novels, not so serious, with more elements and plenty of jokes. Other people write Special Forces God of War; I write God of Cooking in the Mess Hall Squad."
Editor: "Military fiction is niche too. You'd be better off writing your business stories properly. Your previous book rose quickly and brought in the income of ten thousand subscriptions. This book... just look at the data yourself. It doesn't attract readers."
That was true.
Even after making it to Sanjiang this time, the book had only just passed ten thousand bookmarks today. That was far worse than before, when a single bestseller would bring in fifteen thousand new bookmarks. It was a little hard to speak up.
But with my previous book, I didn't get signed until five hundred thousand words in. Its trial run flopped, it went premium with only 1,500 bookmarks, and its first-day subscriptions were just over forty. Yet I kept writing until it reached 4,000 average subscriptions. When it came to perseverance, I wasn't lacking.
I had to write this well.
That was all. The goal was ten thousand subscriptions. Set sail.
Tonight, could you lend me two thousand flying geese and let your brother here save some face?
Give the author a miracle, and the author would risk his life to write a one-of-a-kind military novel!
Forget average subscriptions for now. Please support the first-day subscriptions!
