Before I knew it, I'd been writing this novel for two years and had accumulated a thousand chapters.
When I first answered questions on Zhihu, I truly never imagined I'd make it this far. What began as occasional answers had become part of my daily life. For me to have kept going this long, I truly had to thank all the readers for their support. Otherwise, it should have ended long ago.
Thank you, Carbon Treasure, for repeatedly going through it and correcting my mistakes and omissions. Your understanding of the content even surpasses my own. Having a reader like you honestly makes me feel quite overwhelmed; I don't think what I've written deserves it.
Thank you, Big Brother X. I don't know whether you're still reading now, but your affirmation back then truly made me feel I didn't deserve it.
Thank you, Wind-Blown Catkins. You hadn't read the original work, yet you were the first person to support me with real money. You let me know that someone could genuinely like what I wrote that much.
Thank you, Loser. You don't speak much in the group, but you've always supported me. You said it was just like subscribing, but in reality, you've already subscribed to several books' worth.
Thank you, CCC. You didn't even join the reader group, just to read this little bit of content I wrote.
Thank you, Refinement, and thank you, Echo. You've been longtime fans who've been here since the beginning and kept showing your support.
Thank you, Fish Head, for your constant encouragement and for defending me so often on Zhihu as well.
Thank you, Xiao Yun, the group's number one combatant and a fine young man who occasionally treats me to milk tea.
Thank you, FANTA, for your recognition from a professional perspective.
