A new week had arrived. Here, I wanted to thank the 2,346 friends who had bookmarked this book. With everyone's tips and daily recommendation votes last week, this book stayed in the top three of the new book rankings for the xianxia category for an entire week, and even took first place in the new book recommendations.
Although this result was truly not worth mentioning compared to the big shots and those popular books, as the author, I was genuinely satisfied.
Especially because taking first place in the new book recommendations had successfully advanced this book to next week's featured category recommendation on the Qidian Chinese Network's PC website, as well as the selected new xianxia book recommendation on the Qidian Reading App.
If—if it could take first place again this time, then this book could look forward to a Sanjiang Recommendation and a featured recommendation on Qidian's homepage.
I wanted them! I dreamed of those two recommendations!
Perhaps everyone didn't know this, but in many Qidian author groups, only after a book made it onto Sanjiang's featured recommendation would its author qualify to join the group and dare speak to the big shots (trembling with fear).
I didn't have any grand ambitions. I just wanted to be able to say, when my family asked how my writing was doing in the future, "Ah, not bad. I make a few thousand yuan every month! A few thousand people read my book every day!"
From the looks of it, this book had hope of achieving that, so I was truly grateful for everyone's support, grateful that everyone had supported such a slow-burn book like this.
When I started this book, even the editor said it was too slow-burn and that I should be prepared for it to flop. But I still insisted on writing it this way. Now, it seemed that I had made the right choice...
I would continue to stick with it in the future. First, let's set a small goal: write two million words...
That was a bit of a mess, but in short, thank you all for your support. Thanks as well to Wulin Mengzhu, Villagers Grow Their Own Vegetables and Sell Them, Black Cloud Daoist, Qing Feng Fu Luo Ye, and the other readers who had given such generous tips.
Lastly, I still wanted to ask for recommendation votes. This book wouldn't leave the new book period until December 25th, so there were still ten days left. I hoped it could continue staying on the category new book rankings for the next ten days (making a wish upon a shooting star).
