Thoughts on Going Premium

This book should be available tomorrow, July 1st. It wouldn't make sense to keep a 300,000-word work going on standalone any longer.

Two months have passed, and this day has finally arrived. To be honest, I'm a little surprised that I've been able to sit in front of the computer and type for four or five hours every day. My willpower isn't particularly strong, yet I've managed to stick to writing.

For the past two months, I've given up gaming time to write a fanfiction. I don't regret it, but I'm a little annoyed. Why did I choose to update twice a day from the beginning? I'm not a professional writer; my typing speed is only about two hours per chapter. If I had chosen to update only once a day from the start, would I have had a backlog of chapters to unleash on the day of publication?

Tomorrow is my exam day, but I still have to spend several hours typing on the computer after reviewing my lessons. It's really giving me a headache.

I'm saying this to tell everyone: there's no way I'll be releasing a huge update today. Three updates at most is the limit. After that, it will still be two updates a day.

As of the time I'm writing this review, this book has 5299 subscribers (laughs). My expectation was 200 initial subscriptions, which means the subscription-to-receiver ratio is 26.5:1. It seems simple, right? But there are many books on Qidian with nearly 10,000 subscribers that had less than 100 subscriptions when they were first released. I seriously doubt that I will be one of them.

I know that most people who read My Little Hero Academia fanfiction are students who are short on money and won't choose to subscribe. Instead, they might choose not to read the book or look for a pirated copy when it's released. I completely understand that.

I don't believe that saying a few words here will change everyone's habits to support legitimate games. I only started buying legitimate games on Steam and Uplay after I went to university. All habits need to be supported by a source of income, right?

But what I want to say is that every subscription you make to a work you like is a huge support and encouragement for the author, and the same goes for game developers. Only by providing them with the right environment can better works take root and flourish. (Now that I've said all that, why don't you hurry up and pre-order CD Projekt Poland's Stupid Donkey's Cyberpunk 2077?)

Of course, according to the general upload template, some additional chapter rules also need to be explained.

For every additional 100 subscriptions above 200 on the first day, an extra chapter will be added; the same applies to average subscriptions. (I feel like I won't be able to add many extra chapters.)

For each additional steward, one extra chapter will be added; for each helmsman promoted from steward, two chapters will be added; and so on, with no upper limit. (Although the chances are slim, one must always give oneself a glimmer of hope.)

As for monthly passes... I don't have much hope for them, and I don't really understand what they are. Please vote for other books with your monthly passes; I probably won't need such a precious thing. (laughs)

After I finish my exams and get back home these next few days, I'll have more time to write and slowly catch up on the chapters I owe. If I get into the mood, I might even write a lot more at once.

But if the results are particularly dismal, like an average of less than 100 subscriptions, my family might disagree with me doing nothing but focusing on writing during the summer vacation. Instead, they might want me to go out and find a job. In that case, although I will continue to write, I can only manage to get full attendance at most. I apologize in advance to those who have always supported me, because I need to make a living.

By the way, I want to solemnly inform everyone that this book is my My Hero Academia fanfiction, not Jilan Jiyu's Bizarre Adventure. Therefore, Jilan's Quirk "Killer Queen" will only be used at crucial moments. I apologize to those readers who want to see the protagonist use Killer Queen to wreak havoc.

Also, this book is an ensemble piece, leaning towards slice-of-life. You can think of Class A as the main characters in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, where each person will shine in their own way. So don't say I'm writing about their fighting style being weak. Later in the story, they'll go to the United Kingdom, United States, or even India to fight Dio (just kidding). There might be some anime characters that the author likes or original characters interspersed throughout.

Speaking of which, did I write too much in my launch message? How am I going to write the end-of-volume message later...?

In short, each person's Quirk will gradually develop more abilities, just like a stand-in. Stay tuned!

Thank you so much to the editor for consistently recommending this book, even though I haven't been very successful and its sales figures haven't been great. (crying)

Thank you everyone for your continued support and for your generous donations. People who love My Little Hero and JoJo are all angels!

Finally, as is customary, shouldn't I say "please subscribe" and "please donate"?

Finally, I'm still quite nervous. If you're still hesitant, please persevere and read to the very end of this volume before deciding whether to continue reading, okay?

I'm begging you to subscribe!
