Chapter 395: 397. Seeking the December Guaranteed Monthly Ticket and a Summary

397. Seeking the December Guaranteed Monthly Ticket and a Summary

Again it's 3 a. m., but Lao Li is used to it; he originally intended to do the summary first, but after thinking, he decided to write the chapter first and then talk.

This month, the goal was to reach 500000 characters, and the result was about the same—total updates reached 479128 characters, not counting the just‑updated chapter of over seven thousand characters, because it was past midnight, so it counts toward December.

In other words, November's total updates rounded down to 490000 characters, just 10000 short of 500000; I only wish this month had thirty‑one days!

This already is Lao Li's limit—writing fifteen to sixteen thousand characters every day, nerves constantly taut; from the moment he opens his eyes he starts typing, until about 3 a. m., sometimes a bit earlier but not much… Living like this, Lao Li has persisted for six months, countless days and nights lamenting how exhausting typing is……

But there's no choice—Lao Li dares not stop, wanting to earn milk‑powder money and also let everyone enjoy the read, walking on thin ice.

After six months on the shelves, the book already totals 2500000 characters; it's obvious the length is too much, possibly some parts aren't getting the attention they deserve, recommendations are dropping, and Lao Li feels inexplicably stifled……

No way… Next month Lao Li will keep exploding!

In the writing business, talent actually matters more; after so many years, Lao Li can clearly feel his own talent lacking, so he can only make up for it with diligence.

Everyone says it's watery; Lao Li has indeed been trying to improve—after finishing each chapter he cuts some parts, also striving to reduce redundancy. But battle descriptions have become a habit; he tends to replay them in slow motion in his mind before writing them down, so he can only ask everyone to bear with him, and he will try to make the battles more concise.

In fact, this month, divided by volumes, it belongs to the Shendu volume; once the Peach Blossom Banquet is finished, the Shendu volume ends, and the next volume will see Xixi's growth speed increase a bit……

Xiao Li's strength will also increase somewhat quickly; I've written a rough outline and am quite looking forward to it.

Late at night, with everyone quiet, I find myself talking more; writing is really a solitary, heads‑down effort with nothing to share, and sometimes I feel lonely, so I've chattered on—please bear with me, everyone.

Last month I updated 490000; this month I'll ease up a bit, let Lao Li slack off a little……

Let's aim to keep the updates at 450000 characters!

This book already totals 2500000 characters; many exciting points have been covered, making writing difficulty rise sharply, and Lao Li will strive to write the remaining plot well!

I hope to finish Xiao Li and Xixi's story completely, with everyone's companionship.

Thanks to everyone for your monthly votes, recommendation votes, and continued readership support!

The monthly ticket system reform seems unfriendly to burst‑update factions, and Lao Li feels helpless as well……

December, Lao Li will keep striving, keep pushing forward!

December, a new month, I ask everyone for the Guaranteed Monthly Ticket in your hands!

Lao Li thanks you!

Good night.
