December should have been a perfect month. Whether in terms of update volume or the content of the book, I could have pushed myself to the limit of my abilities and satisfied everyone.
Unfortunately, I had health problems near the end of the month and had to make many trips to the hospital. As a result, I could only maintain bare-minimum updates for the final five days. It was regrettable that the month could not end perfectly.
Those who travel a hundred miles are only halfway there at ninety. The ancients truly did not deceive us.
The reduced update volume over the past few days had quite a major impact.
The day I first went to the hospital happened to be the day the book received a recommendation. After a book goes premium, the performance of each recommendation affects the tier of the next one.
The editors all encouraged me to update more on recommendation days, but I actually updated less. This led to poor results from the recommendation, and it is hard to say what the next recommendation will be like.
And these past few days happened to be the double Monthly Ticket period. With fewer updates, I did not even dare ask for votes...
Most importantly, only providing the bare-minimum daily update truly let down everyone's support. Especially when I saw that you were still willing to vote with Monthly Tickets, I felt even more ashamed.
Quite a few readers advised me that my health was more important, that I could pause updates for a few days and recuperate first. Thank you all very much for your concern.
But after giving it some thought, I still chose to keep updating, even if it meant only one chapter a day.
It was not because of the full-attendance bonus. Qidian
