Everyone, a quick reminder—
Tomorrow, after midnight tonight, a bonus side story unlocked by monthly tickets will be released on schedule.
This side story is mainly about Bruce. The timeline is roughly around Chapter 210 of the main story, during the period when He Xi took Flora to register at the Adventurer Guild.
Since the monthly-ticket side story needs to be unlocked by entering the corresponding chapter and clicking the vote button below, those interested, remember not to click the wrong one.
Of course, it's completely fine if you accidentally click the wrong one, don't have enough monthly tickets, or have already given your monthly tickets to other works you like.
The side story will automatically unlock in the middle of the month, and everyone will still be able to read it then.
Also, regarding the recent updates, quite a few readers have asked: Why has the author switched to one update a day?
I have indeed switched to one update a day.
But strictly speaking, I've combined the chapters before posting them.
Many recent chapters have been over 5,000, 6,000, or even 7,000 words, so in terms of total word count, there shouldn't have been any decrease. There may even be a little more.
However—
Compared with many other works, the update volume really isn't particularly high.
I know that too.
But if I force myself to write just to pad the word count, the quality can easily decline.
The worldbuilding, plot progression, character interactions, and payoff of foreshadowing all need time to be polished.
Western fantasy in particular has many details that need to be slowly considered and worked through.
Of course, I also understand that everyone urging updates is more because you like this work and want to see more of He Xi, Bruce, and everyone else's
