Our book is going premium ahead of schedule, tonight after midnight (which is the 1st).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as is tradition, a premium launch calls for a mass release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bad news: I have no backlog! I have no stockpiled Chapters!! I really, truly have no Chapters saved up!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since its debut, the book has been doing pretty well. I originally thought I would finish the entire new book period and then go premium during the Sanjiang recommendation period, which would have been around mid-October.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I never, ever expected my editor to suddenly notify me about going premium. It caught me completely off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the 19 days since it launched, I’ve written 140,000 characters. In all my years of writing, this is the earliest a book of mine has ever gone premium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So right now, I’m feeling incredibly anxious and apprehensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So here, I sincerely hope that all of you can support the first Chapter subscription!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single subscription from you is the greatest encouragement to me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, about this book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In 2023, I wrote a book called \"The Last Baller.\" For various reasons, its performance was terrible. In the end, I didn’t even have the courage to make it a paid book, and I put it on hiatus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In all my years of writing, this is my biggest regret. I always felt that I had let down all of you who had supported it so staunchly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s also the only soccer-themed novel I’ve ever written that I didn’t finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, I really loved that story, especially the Gao Huairen character arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though I know such a person could never exist in real life, I still really wanted to write about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I put it on hiatus, I promised everyone that I would rewrite this book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, two years later, we have \"God of Soccer Begins with Passive Skills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won’t hide it from you all—I hope that while making up for that regret, I can also earn some income from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because I have a family to support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m currently in that high-pressure stage of life where I have elders to care for and children to raise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mother, in particular, has been in poor health these past few years and has been in and out of the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In early August, she was hospitalized for a week due to a minor stroke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her condition was stable after she was discharged, so I decided to launch the new book on September 12th. But on the 20th, she had another episode and was hospitalized again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, it was a close call but she pulled through, and she was discharged on the 26th.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those of you who have known me over the years know that I’m not one to play the victim for sympathy. I usually don’t even like to talk about my personal life in these notes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because I’ve always firmly believed in letting my work speak for itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s just been a lot going on recently, and I’m feeling a bit anxious and uneasy, so I ended up saying a little more than usual here. I hope you can all understand and bear with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, let’s talk about the update schedule after the premium launch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I said, a lot has been going on recently, so I really don’t have much of a backlog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took a look, and I only have enough for the initial mass release on launch day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, on the first day, I will upload three large Chapters all at once, each one 10,000 characters long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the launch, I’ll release two Chapters a day for the first week. After that, it will depend on my writing pace, but I guarantee at least one update per day. I will absolutely not go on hiatus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I guarantee they will all be large, 10,000-character Chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, I sincerely hope all you readers can support the first Chapter subscription!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your enthusiastic subscriptions are the wellspring of my motivation to keep writing like crazy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While I’m at it, I’d also like to ask for your guaranteed monthly tickets for October!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And last but not least, thank you again to all of my patrons!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m on my knees, begging for first Chapter subscriptions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m on my knees, begging for monthly tickets!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My deepest, deepest thanks!!\u003C\u002Fp>",743,"2026-05-30T11:12:32.550Z","2026-06-01T04:31:05.348Z",1,"novelbin.me","18d7dc7c37c18b40c90e446bc565e3db2b702fc669efbb3667d06fdc81735291","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-61","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-59",400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-cover.jpg"]
