I'll keep this short.
I received the notification yesterday afternoon: the book goes behind the paywall today at noon. I originally wasn't planning to post an update at midnight, intending to save it until after the paid release.
In the end, I gritted my teeth and decided to post a chapter first!
[Today's update schedule: five more chapters will also be posted.]
I'm a clumsy, slow typist, and I write on my phone. Sometimes I read through the text and still miss typos. My eyes must be going blurry: I think everything looks fine, only for mistakes to remain.
I'll skip the sentimental talk. Readers who can afford it, please support the book with a subscription. Let's be understanding and forgiving toward one another. We're all trying to make a living, and none of us has it easy.
After the paid release, once the average subscriptions per chapter exceed one thousand, I'll add one bonus chapter for every additional hundred, with no upper limit. Even if I can't finish posting them that day, I'll make up the backlog as soon as possible.
After the paid release, each chapter will contain three thousand Chinese characters, with improved quality. I'll update twice a day, meaning a steady minimum of six thousand characters daily.
A tip of one hundred yuan, or ten thousand Qidian coins, earns one bonus chapter.
Two hundred monthly votes in a week earn one bonus chapter; four hundred earn another, and so on, with no upper limit.
More than one thousand recommendation votes in a week earn one bonus chapter.
A League Leader earns twelve bonus chapters.
Also, thank you to all the readers for staying with me, to editor Jingzhe, and to my current editor, Touming, for the help and support.
Thank you to reader [Drifting Clouds, Misty
