The moment of truth had come again: time to go premium...
Even as a veteran author, I still couldn't help feeling nervous when the notification arrived, so I wanted to chat with you, my esteemed readers.
First, let's talk about the update schedule after the book goes premium.
Ten thousand Chinese characters a day for the first three days. (Guaranteed minimum.)
One bonus chapter for every twenty thousand reward points, capped at twenty chapters. (Not recommended.)
One bonus chapter for every additional hundred monthly votes, capped at ten chapters. (Highly recommended.)
One bonus chapter for every additional five hundred average subscriptions, with no upper limit! (Wildly recommended.)
These bonus-chapter rules stack, and the totals will be tallied at the end of the month.
After those three days, updates will return to normal: a guaranteed minimum of four thousand characters a day, with anything beyond that counting toward bonus chapters. If there are thirty or fewer bonus chapters owed, I'll do my best to deliver them all within this month.
If there are more than thirty, I'll need two months...
These bonuses might be a little meager. All I can do is shamelessly ask you to forgive a middle-aged writer whose body, brainpower, and typing speed have all started going downhill. I really can't handle too many bonus chapters.
Writing a book is a steady trickle that flows a long way; fine work takes time. If I push too hard on bonus chapters, neither my body nor the book's quality can bear it.
