Chapter 96: Premium Launch Message (Mandatory Reading!)

Two months since the book's release, I've slaved through 280,000 characters; tonight at midnight it goes premium, and today's two noon chapters are the last free ones—I won't include them in the paid chapters since they're transitional.

To be honest, after this long since posting, the author has endured many hard moments.

Especially since posting before the New Year, traffic plummeted in midyear, and after the holiday, I nearly lost the algorithm's recommendation—recommendations were suspended, and I nearly quit; barely won the resurrection match, then lost again in the Sanjiang PK, dragging it out one more week.

I've held on purely because of everyone's support; when the book hit 100,000 characters, collection count was barely over a thousand; had the reading retention rate not been strong and readers not frequently left comments, I might have quit already.

As for everyone's comments, I've read them all—whether praise or criticism.

Aside from some early abstract issues, many are more concerned about power scaling, thinking such high settings will easily collapse.

The author treats minor realms as major ones: early, middle, late, and peak—each minor realm has vast gaps, with plenty of depth and upgrade potential; I believe this can be well-managed, especially after Foundation Establishment realm cultivation begins.

The Holy Sect, and indeed the entire world's cultivation ethos, truly manifests only after Foundation Establishment.

I won't say more—on to the key point:

Premium launch: minimum ten chapters, possibly more, so I sincerely beg for monthly votes to climb the New Book Monthly Vote Chart.

Also, if the first subscription qualifies as premium, daily updates for the next month will double—minimum four chapters, eight thousand characters.
