A Letter to Readers for the New Year

First, I wish all my readers a Happy New Year.

Next, I would like to report on the recent status of this book. Thanks to the support of you readers and our collective efforts over the past four months, we have grown from an initial subscription count of 1,600 to over 7,000 average subscriptions, with peak subscriptions reaching 19,000.

You all are truly fierce.

In the new year, the update volume will remain at a minimum of 6,000 words. Since I am writing this part-time, I can only provide irregular bonus updates based on my free time while ensuring the minimum update quota is met.

Actually, I generally don't deliberately cap my drafts at 6,000 words; I usually post whatever I write, which is why you often find chapters with 7,000 or 8,000 words.

Of course, I have set a small goal for the New Year: if we can reach 10,000 subscriptions, I will push myself to the limit and return to a daily update schedule of 10,000 words for a month!

Finally, I wish everyone great luck in the Year of the Horse and may you always lead the pack.
