Chapter 400: March Bonus Update Situation: Bonus Update Calculation Method Temporarily Revised
March bonus update situation: bonus update calculation method temporarily revised
March bonus update situation: bonus update calculation method temporarily revised
A Ba’s venture was unfinished when it abruptly collapsed midway
At the start of March, A Ba vowed to achieve the grand goal of averaging ten thousand words per day for the entire month
But the setbacks came too suddenly—after just a few days of persistence, he developed a cold, fever, high blood pressure, high blood sugar… one problem after another piled up
Since publishing, he had been burning out—insomnia for half a year—until he finally couldn’t hold on anymore
A Ba collapsed
To save his life, A Ba could only abandon his plan halfway, shamefully reducing his daily goal from ten thousand to eight thousand words, then seven thousand…
In the end, this month’s daily average dropped to just five thousand two hundred words
Compared to the full attendance standard of four thousand words per day, it was indeed slightly better—but only slightly
Published on 09.30.24, today is 03.30.25—the exact six-month anniversary, also exactly 1.2 million words; including the new book period, that’s an average of 200,000 words per month
Bonus update progress… (125/377) [33.1%], fallen back to one-third again, sigh
Ah, the feeling of endless delay
One thing A Ba deeply regrets is why he didn’t set the base bonus word count at four thousand words to begin with…
If the base had been four thousand instead of six thousand, I’d be nearly done with all the bonus updates by now
In four and a half months, at four thousand words per day, the total would be 540,000 words; I’ve written 940,000, meaning 400,000 words in bonus updates—roughly 200 bonus updates
At a four-thousand-word base, 377 minus 55 equals 322 bonus updates needed; current progress is (200/322) [62.1%], only one-third left
At 4000-word base: if maintaining six thousand words daily, only four more months needed; eight thousand words daily, two months; ten thousand words daily, just forty days
At 6000-word base: maintaining six thousand words means no progress; eight thousand words daily requires four more months; ten thousand words daily requires two months; falling back to four thousand words would leave me one bonus update in arrears…
All I can say is, I regret it deeply
Writing only four thousand words a day and still owing two thousand—that’s no hope left at all
I put too much pressure on myself, turning it into a loan shark’s trap—I simply can’t take it anymore
In the end, A Ba made a decision that defies ancestral tradition—he revised the algorithm
Two systems will run in parallel for now: first, calculate all remaining bonus updates using the new four-thousand-word base; then, depending on my health, decide whether to finish the remaining bonus updates under the four-thousand-word base
What matters is that everyone sees A Ba complete the owed updates—completion is the point
Not that I should act like a clown with lice who doesn’t care about itching, piling up 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—no one is being referenced!)
Moreover, even under the new algorithm, A Ba still owes over three hundred bonus updates… I’m not avoiding repayment—I will finish them all
In short, the only change is: the rule “six thousand words daily, one bonus update owed for every four thousand” is revised to “four thousand words daily”
All other rules—donation bonuses, master patron bonuses, leave (two extra updates), average subscription bonuses, voting bonuses—remain unchanged
I apologize—this is a shameless request, but I hope you can understand
Let A Ba catch a 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 and writing—no matter how hard I try to ignore it, I can’t stop thinking about it
This book made mistakes during my illness—I now regret them deeply, sigh
By revising the calculation method, I reduce my pressure, gain more time and energy to exercise, lose weight, and maintain better health—this should improve 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 I was mentally unclear, I wrote poorly, subscriptions kept dropping, recommendations vanished—I’ve had none for over two months, and still no recovery…
The operations team still hasn’t forgiven me
This past month, I reflected deeply and tried to return to my original path—slight improvement, but still no hope of being reinstated for recommendations
It’s unbearable—I have no one to complain to, I’m suffocating
The only ones I can rely on are all of you who’ve read this far—thank you so much
I hope you’ll continue supporting A Ba and this book
I still have so many monster girls to write, the plot has barely 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; unless absolutely desperate, I won’t give up—but please, don’t push me too far in the future, please…
In short, please 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 four thousand words daily, sleeping more, I feel my body has recovered in all aspects
Starting next month on the 1st, I’ll resume daily updates of six to eight thousand words (single post, including bonus updates), posted at noon sharp
I hope A Ba can stick to this this time!
I love you, thank you!!!
A Ba bows deeply in gratitude
