I joined a Qidian event, and a monthly-ticket bonus chapter will go up at midnight. It covers how Emperor Yongchang and the Crown Prince's Consort got involved with each other, from beginning to end. It's supplementary background and won't affect the main plot, so you can read it or skip it. Reading it requires one monthly ticket to unlock, and you have to cast that ticket on the bonus chapter's page for it to unlock.
Please pay special attention to this: you have to cast your monthly ticket on that page to read it. Casting a monthly ticket directly won't work. That's how the website set it up; I'm beyond even complaining about it.
I often see readers of other books fail to unlock bonus chapters because they didn't cast their monthly tickets on the bonus chapter page, then start cursing in the review section, so I had to put up a standalone post to remind everyone in advance. If I can avoid getting cursed at, please spare me. After all, I'm not Emperor Yongchang; I don't have that particular hobby.
Since starting this book, I actually haven't asked for monthly tickets much. Just a couple of days ago, I specifically said you didn't need to give me any this month. But I'll have to ask next month. My editor told me I have a recommendation slot next month, but it's on December 31, which effectively means no recommendation for December. The monthly-ticket rankings bring in the most traffic, and the higher you rank at the start of the month, the more people read your book. Immortal Dynasty currently averages 8,300 subscriptions per chapter. With a couple of major recommendations, I reckon it could surge straight to 10,000. Without them, I'll have to work hard to climb the rankings myself.
