Chapter 137: May Monthly Ticket Lottery Event

May Monthly Ticket Lottery Event

May Monthly Ticket Lottery Event

Thank you all, dear readers, for your support of this novel; it has been nearly four months since its launch, and the word count is about to reach seven hundred thousand.

Aside from the new book period, I've consistently maintained updates of over six thousand words daily.

This update pace truly makes me ashamed to face you all, but I have truly done my best.

Right after the novel went live, I tried explosive updates—writing ten thousand words daily—but the result was being flooded with criticism.

People said my plot was watered down, accused me of replacing the author after going live, and so on—I couldn't sleep at all, overwhelmed by pressure, and my health deteriorated.

Everyone advised me not to read reviews, but I always felt reading them was a channel to gather reader feedback, so I checked them every day.

This created a vicious cycle: health problems, chronic insomnia, mental exhaustion, anxiety—all followed one after another, naturally leaving me in terrible condition.

The performance plummeted.

At that time, I truly felt life was not worth living.

I fell into severe self-doubt.

Eventually, I had no choice but to gradually slow down updates and shift my writing focus toward quality—and indeed, the performance slowly improved again.

It's kind of funny to think about it now; though the word count is still low, I've already weathered great storms.

The novel's performance started poorly.

As I mentioned in my go-live message, if this novel's early performance had happened to any full-time author, they would've likely canceled it.

Making it to today has been no easy feat.

The performance at go-live was far beyond anything I ever dared to dream of—I can only thank my brothers for their support.

May has always been a month full of fierce competition.

My operations officer, Tianji, had been communicating with me for a long time; the novel's traffic is indeed low, with only about two hundred new collections per day.

But the subscription-to-collection ratio is quite good.

It's well known that currently, the high-subscription-to-collection ratio has always stayed within 3:1, so I want to try pushing hard and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

I've been thinking about this issue constantly.

The hardest time for me has already passed—I survived the first half-month of solo updates and the post-go-live subscription plunge.

Now, I've sailed past ten thousand mountains; why can't I give it my all?

For this reason, I've made thorough preparations.

As previously mentioned, this month's updates will rise to a minimum of eight thousand words daily—this is also a small show of my sincerity.

The quality shouldn't be an issue; I've thought about the plot for a long time and feel somewhat confident.

I won't mention bonus updates, brothers.

When I'm in good condition, I will definitely add extra updates.

This is my promise to you all.

Later tonight at midnight, there will be a monthly ticket side story—one of the plots you've all been eager to see.

I spent several days writing it.

I haven't written this kind of livestream-style plot in a long time; it was quite difficult.

How it turns out, I can only leave to your judgment, brothers.
