030: Thoughts on Going Premium!

If there are any problems or plot holes in the novel, please contact me as soon as possible!

Promise me, okay? Let's be each other's angels and give me one chance to win you back!

I know that when you say you're leaving after giving it a one-star review, you're actually reminding me to try to keep you!

Liking something isn't about how well I write; it's about there always being a passage or a plotline that draws you in!

Maybe it catches your eye, or maybe it speaks to your heart.

Meeting isn't easy!

Since you came to me from the vast sea of people, I offer you my most sincere thanks.

In the wind, this book was like a leaf about to fall!

Perhaps you treasured it and turned it into a specimen!

Or perhaps you glanced at it, then sent it back into the wind!

But no matter where this leaf ended up, Even if it lay humbly in the dust, it still wanted to bloom amid the dirt!

Without you holding it, the leaf would merely drift down with the wind!

Without you preserving it as a specimen, no one would remember the leaf in the future!

Perhaps there would always be a leaf in this world that people remembered!

Maybe it wouldn't be this one.

But what did that matter?

At least our paths had crossed.

No one ever said that people who caught each other's eye had to stay together forever!

And no one ever said that those who crossed paths would never part.

Meeting in this sea of books was where our paths crossed!

If you come, I'll wait for you through wind and rain!

If you leave, then even if I'm reluctant, I'll remember you!

This book was about to go premium. There were so many thoughts, so many firsts.

Thank you, my dear readers, for letting me pass the initial test for the first time!

Your monthly tickets, rewards, and recommendation votes gave me tremendous support.

Of course, the greatest support was adding the book to your shelves and being willing to spend a few minutes reading it!

The most crucial factors in determining a book's potential were ongoing readers and bookmarks!

There would be a third round of PK after the second round, but those dreams were things I only dared to imagine.

After all, even passing the initial test already felt like a dream!

I replied to basically every comment and reward. I didn't know how to thank you for the monthly tickets, and I also didn't know how to make thank-you cards!

As for this book going premium, I was truly helpless about it.

It was QQ Reading's system.

Basically, books started going premium at around fifty thousand words.

Going premium at sixty thousand words was already my limit.

I originally wanted to drag it out longer.

But there was nothing I could do—I couldn't withstand the editor urging me several times!

Now that the reading system had been changed, it was really... really hard to evaluate.

You might not believe it, but this book's total free-period earnings didn't exceed three yuan.

Sometimes I just... didn't know what to say!

This book could be read in full for free with a membership!

The membership seemed to cost eight yuan for the first month, or eighteen yuan for recurring monthly billing!

After all, it would take me many days of writing to earn that amount of money. It wasn't a small sum, so please spend within your means.
