Say Something Important!

To all of you, I want Monthly Tickets.

I've confirmed with the editor: the book will go on the shelves at noon on March 19th.

The reason for this date is a bit awkward. The New Book was released on February 5th, and as of today, it's been 23 days. After today's update, the word count will be close to 210,000 words. I've been updating too much. o(╥﹏╥)o

This way, I won't be able to leverage the promotional effect of the New Book Monthly Ticket Ranking, which is a bit of a bummer.

So, I've made a rather bold decision: to utilize Qidian's new rules. Now, books can receive Monthly Tickets as soon as they are signed. We'll start competing for the Monthly Ticket Ranking from March 1st, using the ranking's exposure to cultivate the New Book.

Therefore, I want to compete for a spot in the top five of the Monthly Ticket Ranking, or even the top three. This will significantly increase our exposure.

Since the book isn't on the shelves yet, reading it won't generate Monthly Tickets, making this a very, very difficult challenge.

When I was writing Senior Brother, I rarely asked for votes and was quite laid-back. As a result, after enduring Mysterious, then Myriad Races, I was stuck as the perennial runner-up for a long time. I finally decided to compete for a ranking, investing over a hundred thousand in manuscript fees, only to be ruthlessly suppressed by a Billion Alliance Tycoon.

After starting this New Book, I clearly understood why I couldn't control the chapter word counts. It was actually because I was worried that my esteemed readers would feel I lacked sincerity in my updates, so I ensured each chapter had a complete narrative arc rather than stopping at just three thousand words.

You all share responsibility for the Ten Thousand Daily updates during the Free Period!

I'm asking for votes! For Monthly Tickets!

If you tycoons have Monthly Tickets, please cast them my way!

If we can climb into the top five on the Monthly Ticket Ranking before midnight on the 2nd, I'll give you some extra updates, even if my editor comes to my door with a knife!

The next chapter will be updated at noon.
