I, Angry Dragon, order all readers: no tipping!
Just kidding.
The author had recently received many tips from readers. Among them, the top supporter, One Slide Feeds Fat Tiger, had even been concerned about this book's traffic and offered to sponsor boosted posts for promotional videos.
This left Evil Dragon feeling ashamed.
First, readers were the author's providers. Whether they were subscription readers or member readers, they did not need to spend anything extra. To the author, that alone was an unrepayable kindness.
Second, regardless of readers' circumstances—whether they were working or students—the author felt ashamed to accept your tips, because the author was also afraid of letting down your high expectations.
As for asking for follow-up reading... if the novel's content was good enough, readers would naturally keep reading; if no readers kept up with it, then the content was not good enough. So Evil Dragon did not believe in the idea that a book could be "raised to death."
Dear readers, just read if you enjoy it. How could anyone dictate when you were supposed to read?
Let me report this book's results:
Q-Read: around 2,000 follow-up readers;
Qidian: around 250;
This book's traffic was initially very low, and the author once lost confidence. But it gradually picked up later on. As for promotional posts, none had truly blown up, and that was indeed related to luck—there was no forcing it.
Dear readers, if it is still to your taste, just keep reading.
Don't spend anything extra!
Once again, thank you to the readers who have kept following.
To the dear readers who have tipped, Evil Dragon is deeply humbled!
—With sincere thanks
