Chapter 94: Launch Announcement

Beat the drums and ring the bells!

Received editor notification: going live at noon tomorrow, ten chapters on launch, begging for first subscriptions.

Thank you, editor Tiger Tooth, the most beautiful in Yuewen.

This book has basically cleared all new-book recommendations, and at least in the early stage, it's far better than the combined performance of my first two books.

Praise Tiger Tooth~

Talking about my previous books suddenly brings up deep feelings: when I started this one, an old reader suddenly said in the group, "The hippo has finally risen," "They all said you were done for."

In that instant, I felt a pang of sadness, but it lasted less than three seconds.

Can't help it—I'm good at pulling stunts, but terrible at begging for sympathy.

If all else fails, I'll just perform the ultimate trick: spinning propeller shit.

And I write books with one main principle: good mindset.

Even readers who specifically joined the group to curse me out, I still smile and encourage them to curse more—if they're not satisfied, they can DM me and curse freely; ten thousand fan points are still divine.

Here, I'll take a moment to debunk a rumor.

The claim that I "am done" has nothing to do with my marriage—it's merely a coincidence in timing.

Coming to Qidian is a fresh start; though my numbers certainly can't compare to before, Little Hippo is now on his third book, and he's genuinely improving.

First book: only made it through four rounds of new-book recommendations, launched with eight thousand favorites, still a hundred short of premium status in average subscriptions. Second book: barely made it to Sanjiang after four rounds, launched with ten thousand favorites, smoothly reached premium, then got blocked, ended hastily.

Now, third book: skipped rounds, extra new-strength boosts, little trumpet, Sanjiang—everything possible in the new-book period has been maximized; launch subscriptions should be over thirty-four thousand.

The feeling of steady, "a little bit" improvement with each book is truly satisfying, and it's gradually reigniting my passion for writing.

Here I especially emphasize: I have good integrity as a writer. Even with my first book's terrible performance, I finished it. Even when I knew the second would be blocked, I sped up the ending instead of abandoning it—so you can all rest assured jumping into this one, enjoy and subscribe.

So! Let me say it once more: beg for first subscriptions! Beg for ongoing subscriptions!

First subscriptions really matter; my typing speed is a bit mystical—I can drop to four thousand words a day, or surge to twenty thousand. Though I have a good mindset, I do need a little push to stay efficient.

As for bonus chapters, same as others: master adds three, five hundred monthly tickets add one.

Base is three thousand first subscriptions; every additional five hundred adds one more chapter.

Lastly, brothers who've spent points—come straight to the group and curse me out if you want; those who've cursed before all say it's good.

Mwah~ Wishing you all an early New Year.

PS: Can you help me get more comments? Once the book hits Lv3, I can give everyone monthly fan titles every month. If you really don't want to comment, just type "1" after this line.

Please... you... collect... 6... 9... the... book...!
