Chapter 335: 337. Seeking November's Guaranteed Monthly Ticket and Update Summary

337. Seeking November's Guaranteed Monthly Ticket and Update Summary

Tonight there's still one more update; I had planned to finish writing and then do a November summary, but I decided to summarize early instead.

This month I worked even harder than last month, reaching a total of 463,130 characters updated; plus the chapter I haven't finished tonight brings it to 470,000 characters—40,000 more than last month, but still shy of the 500,000‑character target… by a little.

Basically, my old dorm mate in his thirties suddenly got married; I'd been holed up for nearly a month, so I had to fly out to congratulate him, cutting my updates that day, and my daughter's scalding also reduced updates…

Lao Li has no stockpile; he writes and releases immediately, leading to typos and awkward bits. With so many words, he can't spot them right away and can only correct them later. This write‑as‑you‑go style makes it hard to adjust when issues arise.

After all, Lao Li takes four to five hours to write a chapter.

Still, after wrapping up the update summary, though there are regrets, it's also progress—this is the month with the highest update count, and I hope we can push even more in November.

With 470,000 characters updated this month, there likely aren't many on Qidian who can compete.

As for this month's average subscriptions, since we lost the PK and didn't get a recommendation, the growth is very slow. But Lao Li no longer worries about average subscriptions; he only cares about monthly tickets, because the readers' monthly tickets and continued reading are what drive his burst updates.

Also, Lao Li reflects: many call his writing 'watery'—he sometimes over‑details, especially in fights, where he can't restrain himself; not writing makes him uneasy. It's a personal style issue; Lao Li knows this style may not be ideal, but changing it is truly difficult… after all, it's been ten years of this style, so he can only try to mitigate it.

Next month the story moves into Shendu; Xixi's plot may get more exposure, and Great Emperor Xixi will start his rise. I'll try to make it engaging, mainly because my daughter is just over three while Xixi is six… I lack a reference, so I'll borrow a friend's daughter for inspiration.

Furthermore, thanks to the three new alliance leaders this month—【Wang Shi】, 【Lian Wo Shi Ren Xian Chang Sheng】, 【Yin Shi Su Ren】—three big shots, I'm deeply grateful, but Lao Li really can't add more chapters; adding extras on top of the 470,000‑character base is truly difficult… I'm really sorry.

The new month is still a nonstop word‑grinding month.

Lao Li keeps his head down and writes!

This month the monthly ticket rules seem to have changed; everyone has a guaranteed monthly ticket they can use to support Lao Li, letting him feel the warmth!

This month I only managed 470,000 characters, falling short of the target.

But in November, Lao Li will stay in seclusion and keep pushing!

This month I must reach 500,000 characters!

Our book has already reached two million characters, but Lao Li will continue to strive to write it well!

Thanks to everyone for their continued reading and support!

November, aim for 500,000 characters!

November, guaranteed monthly ticket!

Lao Li pleads!

Continue writing the second update; it should be finished around 3:30.
