Also, you may have heard—Qidian is recently reforming, changing the full-time rule.

They've removed the original average subscription requirement and replaced it with 100 consecutive subscriptions…

Many readers may not realize: after hundreds of thousands of words, readers tend to "raise" the novel—wait a while, then binge-read it all at once.

But this causes consecutive subscriptions to keep dropping, making recovery impossible.

I currently have no recommendations because of this—my consecutive subscriptions are too low, so I haven't received any for over three months, with no sign of recovery.

My novel's word count is approaching one point five million; I'm unsure how many words it will end at, but I intend to at least try writing over three million.

How many consecutive subscriptions will remain for a long novel? No one knows.

I'm barely managing to scrape by now, but will I eventually fail to even qualify for full-time?

It's truly hard to say.

This isn't scaremongering—current consecutive subscriptions are already dismal… sigh.

Please enable auto-subscription, please follow daily, please comment—this truly matters for this novel.

…Also, perhaps it's just the helplessness of an honest person.

Aba, due to an unshakable reputation, has finished every novel no matter how poorly it performed—even when Aba now begs with "I'll cancel the novel!" no one believes it… lol.

My first novel earned only 30,000 yuan but reached 1.1 million words to completion; my second novel, with an average of 1,100, reached 1.5 million words; with 1,300 average, it reached 2 million words.

Records remain; performance can be verified.

So, can a poor, financially struggling little author abandon a hard-won masterpiece?

Think about it—of course not.

I can only say: thank you sincerely for your trust.

Of course, Aba's attitude remains unchanged.

Canceling the novel is impossible—I will never be a traitor to my work.

In the worst-case scenario, this book can no longer support Aba's livelihood, so it will only temporarily halt updates to seek a living, and resume after recovering.

Once a story has a beginning, it must have an ending — this is a responsibility I, as its creator, can never shirk or relinquish.

No matter what, Aba definitely won't run away.

This book is still learning, having made many mistakes, causing its performance to decline from its promising start, and steadily deteriorating ever since, stumbling painfully forward.

But I will not give up.

I will learn from my mistakes, then slowly correct them, slowly grow stronger.

I only hope readers will pity Aba a little, so my perseverance won't be so painful — please give just a little support.

I don't ask for tips, only for subscriptions.

Subscriptions mean truly, truly everything to me! They can spare me from such hardship.

Aba is stupid, doesn't know how to scavenge for food. jpg

Thank you all for your help along the way!

The story of the Monster Girl is not yet halfway done — there's still so much I want to write; please continue helping me.

More subscriptions, more automatic subscriptions.

Save the child —
