Old Cat's book would be going premium again tomorrow.
The growth in follow-up reads had been too slow, never reaching the requirements for recommendations, so it could only go premium.
Let me report this book's results: it currently had fewer than 3,700 bookmarks. I'd originally hoped to draw some traffic from the light novel category, but forget traffic—even the basic large-scale smart recommendation at 100,000 words had never appeared, and now it was going premium at 180,000 words without having seen it.
During the new book period, it steadily gained around a hundred bookmarks a day. Once that period ended, though, it instantly dropped from over a hundred to just over twenty. So the legendary smart recommendation was apparently not even as useful as getting onto the new book rankings.
Still, this book's follow-up reads were doing alright. After more than ten days of running naked, they had continued to rise, which was why Old Cat didn't want to give up.
Perhaps because Old Cat's book contained quite a bit of virtual gaming content and wasn't fantasy in style, it didn't draw traffic in the light novel category. After it went premium, it would be moved to the gaming category.
Follow-up reads were currently under 700. Old Cat also knew this was a slow-burn book; the early parts weren't exciting enough, and quite a few people were probably stockpiling chapters.
It would go premium tomorrow. I hoped readers stockpiling chapters could subscribe and support it too, or it really might get stockpiled to death.
Also, let me explain the bonus chapter rules after it went premium. Two chapters a day were guaranteed. Old readers should know that Old Cat wasn't fast at writing; 5,000 words a day was already no small amount on Qidian.
One extra chapter for every 500
