Thoughts

Wow, I received my first big donation today, and the first Alliance Master was born. I'm quite happy. Actually, I've only ever fantasized about this kind of thing, because I know my own limitations. But today was a real surprise.

Actually, although I said in my introduction that I wouldn't enter the palace (a euphemism for adult fiction), I did have that thought. In conversations with other authors, some of them who had achieved better results than me had already quit and started new books. To be honest, I was somewhat tempted at that time.

Since others who are better than you have given up, what are you still persisting for?

However, I've been reading novels for about 10 years, so I know very well what it feels like to see a novel I want to read abandoned. Therefore, as long as there's still one person reading it, I won't go to the palace (i. e., enter the palace).

The criterion for judging whether you're still watching is the votes, so you understand?

Finally, let's get down to business. I was originally planning to post this later, but since it came so quickly this time, I'll post it now.

Bonus Chapter Rules: 100 monthly votes = 1 chapter; 500 recommendations = 1 chapter; for each Deacon or higher, 1 chapter is added for the first one; for each Leader or higher, 1 chapter is added for each one appearing. Large donations are counted because I need to request leave. There will be four chapters on that day.

For each new deacon, the first one added to the list will receive an extra chapter. This one has already been taken care of; there are eight chapters owed in total, which I will repay gradually. I will repay the tips on the 28th, which will be four chapters or more that day, and those will not be included in those eight chapters.

These are the rules for extra chapters. A higher score is fine; I prefer a more relaxed approach, and showing one side of the page is enough.
