Chapter 371: March Additional Update Situation: Temporarily Changing the Method of Calculating Additional Updates
March additional update situation: temporarily changing the method of calculating additional updates
March additional update situation: temporarily changing the method of calculating additional updates
Aba's venture was unfinished when he collapsed midway.
At the beginning of March, ABA made a grand vow to achieve a daily average of ten thousand characters for the entire month.
But the setbacks came too suddenly—he had only held out for a few days when he caught a cold, developed a fever, high blood pressure, high blood sugar… one problem after another piled up.
Since publishing, I've been burning out—insomnia for half a year, and finally I couldn't hold on anymore.
ABA collapsed.
To save his life, ABA could only surrender halfway, shamefully lowering his daily ten-thousand-character goal to eight thousand, then seven thousand…
In the end, this month's daily average dropped to only five thousand two hundred characters.
Compared to the full attendance standard of four thousand characters per day, it's admittedly a bit better, but only slightly.
Published on 24.09.30; today, 25.03.30, marks exactly six months since publication—and precisely 1.2 million characters, averaging 200,000 characters per month including the new book period.
As for additional update progress… (125/377) 【33.1%】, it's fallen back to one-third again, sigh.
I've done 125 additional updates, still owe 252 more (among them, 55 are owed from when the base was four thousand characters, and 18 are from two missed days).
Ah, the feeling of it being endlessly distant.
One thing ABA deeply regrets is why he didn't set the base for additional updates at four thousand characters to begin with…
If the base had been four thousand instead of six thousand, I'd already be nearly finished.
In four and a half months, at four thousand characters daily, I'd have written 540,000 characters; I've written 940,000, meaning I've done 400,000 characters in additional updates—roughly 200 additional updates.
If calculated on a four-thousand-character base: 377 minus 55 equals 322 additional updates needed; current progress is (200/322) 【62.1%】, only one-third left.
At 4000-character base: if I maintain six thousand daily, I only need four more months to repay; eight thousand daily, two months; ten thousand daily, just forty days.
At 6000-character base: maintaining six thousand keeps me even; eight thousand daily requires four more months; ten thousand daily requires two months; falling back to four thousand would leave me in arrears by one update…
All I can say is, I regret it deeply.
Writing only four thousand characters a day and still owing two thousand—there's truly no hope left in this life.
I put too much pressure on myself, turning it into something like loan shark debt—I just can't take it anymore.
In the end, ABA made a decision that defies his ancestors—he's changing the algorithm.
For now, two algorithms will run in parallel: first, use the new four-thousand-character base algorithm to repay all remaining additional updates, then see how my health is and decide whether to finish repaying the four-thousand-character base updates.
Everyone ultimately wants to see ABA repay his owed updates—repayment is the point.
Not to see me act like a clown with lice too numerous to care, endlessly piling on more to inflate the prize pool for show, turning it into a farce that ends with me feigning death and denying my debts… I cannot accept that loss of dignity.
(Disclaimer: This is merely a metaphor, with no intent to reference anyone!)
Moreover, even under the new algorithm, ABA still owes over three hundred additional updates… I'm not avoiding repayment; all will be paid.
In short, the only change is revising the rule from "daily base of six thousand characters, one additional update owed for every four thousand" to "daily base of four thousand characters."
All other rules—donations, alliance master bonuses, leave requests (two-day penalty), average subscription bonuses, voting bonuses—remain unchanged.
I'm sorry, this is a shamelessly presumptuous request, but I still hope everyone can understand.
Let ABA catch his breath.
I've realized: whenever I'm unwell, my mind goes blank, and the quality of my updates fluctuates.
That day's subscriptions affect my mindset while writing and the final text—I try to ignore it, but it's hard not to overthink.
This book made some mistakes while I was sick; now I regret them deeply, sigh.
Changing the calculation method reduces my pressure, gives me more time and energy to exercise, lose weight, and stay healthier—hopefully improving the book's quality.
I won't claim a dramatic leap in quality, but at least I'll reach my proper standard.
I hope to avoid mistakes in the future, make fewer, and portray the story as well as I can within my limits.
When my mind was unclear, I wrote poorly, subscriptions kept dropping, recommendations vanished—I've had none for over two months, and still no recovery…
The operations my lord still hasn't forgiven me.
This past month, I've reflected deeply and tried to return to my original path, with slight improvement—but still no hope of being reinstated for recommendations by operations.
It's unbearable, and I have no one to complain to—it's crushing me, making it hard to breathe.
The only ones I can rely on are all of you who've read this far—thank you so much.
I hope everyone will continue supporting ABA and this book.
I still have so many monster girls to write, and the plot has only just begun—I truly don't want to be forced into the tragic situation of cutting the book.
The pressure on me is overwhelming; I still count on this book to turn things around—I won't give up unless absolutely forced—but please, don't push me too far in the future, please…
In short, I beg everyone to subscribe more, vote more, comment more, and ideally enable auto-subscription to nurture the book.
This truly matters to me and to this book.
Deeply grateful.
Additionally, after resting for three weeks with only four thousand characters daily, sleeping more, I feel my body has recovered in all aspects.
Starting next month on the first, I will resume daily updates of six to eight thousand characters (single post, including additional updates), posted at noon sharp.
I hope ABA can finally stick to this!
I love you all, thank you!!!
ABA kowtows in gratitude.
