Chapter 88: Reporting Results, Future Update Plans

Reporting Results, Future Update Plans

I went all-out on updates for the launch, writing twenty-seven thousand characters, until two in the morning—I really couldn't write anymore.

With my spirit thoroughly exhausted, I've lost the inspiration to write a good story, so let me report the results instead.

First: the monthly ticket rankings—I climbed to 26th place on the New Book Monthly Ticket Rankings.

What does that mean, brothers?

Every book ahead of *Ascending the Shang Shang Shang Shang Yu Que* on the charts has far better collection numbers than it does.

Among the books ranked behind *Ascending the Shang Shang Shang Shang Yu Que*, more than a dozen of them have been featured on the Three Rivers and Strong Recommendation lists—more than a dozen.

I opened the book under a new author account and named it *Ascending the Shang Shang Shang Shang Yu Que*, a title that isn't commercial enough, isn't eye-catching enough—I should bear the consequences of low collections.

I accept it. The market is what it is. I accept it!

But with just over nine thousand collections, we pushed past a pile of books with thirty thousand or forty thousand collections and climbed to 26th on the New Book Monthly Ticket Rankings.

Yes, the burst of updates played a role, but when an author bursts updates and readers vote, at its core it's the readers' recognition of the work.

From this, I want to tell you all one thing:

Compared with the vast majority of books that made the Three Rivers list, this book has no absolute gap in content quality!

Important things must be said three times.

Perhaps the style differs, but this book's style is far, far from that of a flop.

You can read with confidence—what you're reading isn't a flop, but a book with nine thousand collections pushing past thirty-thousand-collection books onto the charts!

The reason the collections look weak is largely because the title is at a disadvantage.

You can go look at the New Author New Book Rankings—among the top twenty, the vast majority have commas in their titles, at least eight characters long.

The title *Ascending the Shang Shang Shang Shang Yu Que* took a big hit because of this.....

Second: the first-order subscriptions are currently at six hundred forty, with ten more hours to go before the twenty-four-hour mark; the current subscription-to-collection ratio is 14:1.

For a book that launched with nine thousand collections, these subscriptions and collections are pretty good.

This is my first time writing xianxia, and I'm very satisfied with this result.

I haven't grasped some of the xianxia readers' excitement points clearly enough—many readers have pointed this out. Perhaps this is also one of the reasons the subscription-to-collection ratio can't go further.

In the future, in this regard, I will continue to optimize, work hard, and improve.

Still, important things must be said three times.

Third: on Qidian's xianxia sub-channel monthly ticket rankings, this book has currently climbed to 94th.

How to put it—it sounds low, but I currently have just over nine thousand three hundred collections......

In a sub-channel flooded with prodigies, swarming with great gods, and packed with Level-Five authors by the dozen.

With two hundred twenty thousand characters and just over nine thousand collections, I fought my way into the top hundred of the rankings.

This isn't success—it's a great success. Hahaha.

Keep working hard, forge ahead!

Keep working hard, forge ahead!

Keep working hard, forge ahead!

Future update plans.

Before talking about future update plans, I want to first thank the brothers for your support.

Today a reader sent me a QQ message saying he cast all his monthly tickets to me.

He's the kind of reader who has always supported me—a friend, a companion.

I know he wanted me to understand that he's still here.

It's really beautiful—this is a particularly wonderful encounter.

It's precisely because of the support from readers like you that I don't dare to compromise, don't want to compromise, don't wish to compromise.

I won't pad with water, I won't lower my standards for myself.

I will forever chase the Holy Grail of creation.

Even if I can never touch it in this lifetime, I will never give up.

This thing—I love it, and it's cool.

If I didn't love it, no one could write twenty-seven thousand characters in a single day.

Making money—there are plenty of ways.

Creating—infinite joy.

Finally, let's talk about the update plan.

My current idea is to keep up ten-thousand-character days for as long as I can, until I can't anymore.

The more you subscribe and the more monthly tickets you cast, the more motivation I have to update.

Thank you all—Chang'an bows respectfully~

(PS: For my next book's launch, I want to challenge thirty-thousand-character days. This time I fell short by three thousand characters—it's painful.)
