Chapter 779: Notification of Special Bonus Update for Shiler

Notification of Special Bonus Update for Shiler's Birthday (This Chapter Free)

As is well known, November 13 is the birthday of the novel's protagonist, Shiler, so starting November 1, this book will launch its largest bonus update campaign to date.

Before this book was published, I said there would be two to three months of daily ten-thousand-character updates; many longtime readers should remember that.

But as of October 31, I have already maintained daily ten-thousand-character updates for eight months, and earned fifth place on last season's power ranking.

Despite this massive update volume, the quality of the main story has been evident to all—aside from certain sensitive scenes that led to the removal of some Soviet-related content, the narrative remains complete and fluid.

When this book launched, this author's account had zero followers—a complete newcomer to Qidian—and within just a few months, it reached an average subscription of fifteen thousand.

This achievement is inseparable from everyone's support.

I've persisted with daily ten-thousand-character updates while holding a part-time job because I know readers want more content; I never like to complain about being tired or suffering, and I've never posted a separate chapter begging for monthly tickets or tips—all rankings have been left to chance.

Yet there has still been immense support.

Therefore, on this birthday, starting November 1, I will begin unconditional bonus updates.

After midnight on November 1, I will release twenty thousand characters; from November 1 to November 13—thirteen days total—I will update twenty thousand characters daily, adding a total of one hundred thirty thousand extra characters beyond the daily ten-thousand baseline.

The above bonus updates are unconditional—readers may simply read them directly. Additionally, from November 13 to December 1, for every new "Ally" patron, I will add one extra update immediately.

Of course, since this novel is an anthology format with each unit spanning three chapters, posting four chapters in one day would disrupt the rhythm; therefore, once three bonus chapters accumulate, I will immediately release an additional ten thousand characters.

A Silver Ally grants ten bonus chapters—that is, thirty thousand characters—and will be published the same day, at the latest within two days. Gold Allies are unlikely to appear; but if one does, I will update twenty thousand characters daily until the novel ends.

When performing bonus updates, I will clearly state the patron being honored; readers may claim them for themselves.

Regular readers know well that the author keeps no stored drafts—not a single word; everything is written and published the same day.

I consider myself an experienced writer, but twenty thousand characters per day is still at my absolute limit, posing a major challenge to both my physical and mental state.

Precisely because this book started from zero, I deeply cherish every reader who has followed it this far; I have no other tangible way to express gratitude except through bonus updates.

Readers can rest assured: even with increased update volume, there will be no drop in quality or filler content. All plot outlines for this novel have been fully written; if you feel the story has deviated, it is likely because I am planting foreshadowing or advancing the main plot—it will always circle back.

I am truly, truly grateful for everyone's continued support, but I must say: since this bonus update is so rare, I still hope November will bring strong results, so if you have monthly tickets or wish to tip, please support generously!

Thank you!
