Chapter 316: Overdue Updates Status and Update Plan

Overdue Updates Status and Update Plan

First, let's discuss the overdue updates status:

This month, 54 new Alliance Leaders and 4 Silver Alliances were added; the Alliance Leader overdue updates total 94 chapters, requiring an additional 376,000 characters in total.

Monthly tickets will likely require adding 210,000 characters.

Plus the 25,000 characters overdue from August.

The total overdue character count is 610,000.

September saw 347,000 characters updated.

Ashamed, excluding the guaranteed 240,000 characters, only about 107,000 characters were repaid.

Calculating it, 500,000 characters are still owed, which is roughly 125 chapters of 4,000 characters each... What?! That's so much overdue?!

Captain feels like he is now the 'Purple Bone Heavenly Venerable' in the book, deeply empathizing with the situation.

I must say everyone is incredibly supportive!

As of the release of this single chapter, the average subscription is 65,000, the 24-hour follow-up subscription is a bit over 37,000, and including all iOS follow-up reads, it is roughly 44,000.

Thank you very much!

To be honest, Captain himself never expected this result, especially achieving first place on both charts; it feels like a dream.

At the beginning of the month, I thought the ranking would be similar to August, probably around seventh or eighth place.

Seeing everyone holding lotteries, I followed the trend and held one too.

As a result, I accidentally wrote too much and gave away prizes worth 16,000.

Then I even ended up first in the monthly tickets.

First place is hard to get; whoever takes it gets labeled as a bot user.

The funny thing is, Qidian's technical department actually messed up mid-month and sent me the badge for first place in monthly tickets.

Then they changed the system mid-month, lowering the monthly ticket red packet limit to 200.

Well, truly like mud falling into one's underwear; even if it isn't poop, it looks like it.

People are saying all sorts of things, like: 'Ghost soldiers voting,' with votes skyrocketing at midnight.

I figure I always update during this time; staying up late until dawn, if the votes didn't rise after finishing updates for tens of thousands of follow-up readers, that would be the problem, wouldn't it?

There are also those complaining that the chapters are low, asking if a book full of fighting and killing would have as many chapter comments as a suspense mystery with many memes; readers just go do other things after getting their thrill.

Even worse, some say Captain invested several hundred thousand.

It really made me laugh; if you have several hundred thousand, isn't it better to go all-in on the big A-share market?

If you ask how 37,000 follow-up readers compare to the big shots, borrowing the words of a certain big shot, a follow-up subscription above 3 is already in the top ten of Qidian.

And among the top ten of Qidian, who else besides Big Shot Yan ZK's 'Taiping Ling' updates with this volume every single month? Note: every month!

This book has only been on sale for five months; growth periods see rapid average subscription increases; is achieving first place by luck necessarily due to buying votes?

There are also those saying 'Qitian Hall' is a vote-brushing organization; they have been Alliance Leaders on Qidian since 2019, and Sheng Xian even put gold on Dong Ge; which vote-brushing organization is so generous?

Please, definitely give me more!

If we talk about the rat race for lottery activities and monthly ticket red packets, everyone is racing; how can I not race? Captain isn't that high and mighty; in several reader groups, red packets totaling several thousand have been sent; that was indeed to encourage readers to vote.

Actually, it doesn't matter what is said; those who want to read will read, those who want to write will write; everyone just lives their own lives.

Captain also plans to shut down other social media apps and focus solely on repaying the update debt.

Let's talk about the October update plan:

Since tens of thousands of characters are already overdue, the original extra update plan has lost its meaning; just like in August, let's temporarily set aside the extra update plan and focus on repaying the update debt for two months first.

October has a double-point event, which is already active; let's strive for it and set a goal: during the National Day holiday, 15,000 characters per day; if the state is good, split it into two 10,000-character chapters.

However, this 20,000 can only be considered a challenge, not a certainty, after all, five consecutive months of explosive updates.

Additionally, let's strive to stabilize the update time; specifics will depend on the adjustment situation over the next two days; in short, let's strive to return to the living, so no one has to be a 'ghost soldier.'

That's all, thank you!

PS: It's too late today; I'll come back to the group to send National Day red packets later.
