Chapter 4256: Ten Million Word Sentiment

Ten Million Word Sentiment

From the release of Chapter 1 "The Dying Man" on April 25, 2021, to the release of Chapter 3241 on March 17, 2025, in nearly four years, *Whispering Poem* has officially reached ten million words. Four years ago, I came from a certain website, came to Qidian with a nervous heart, and with the expectations of old readers and the curiosity of new readers, started a brand new writing journey.

The early performance of *Whispering Poem* was very poor, it didn't get on the Sanjiang list, and the editor directly asked to put it on the shelves. I still remember that when it was put on the shelves that year, it had 1423 first subscriptions. Although the performance was not good, because it was five hundred first subscriptions better than *Master of the Strange Realm*, I promised everyone that I would persist in writing until the end... and then I wrote until now.

Along the way, thank you for your support. Today, four years later, the average subscription of this book has reached 【a certain number】, and this number represents the love of every reader.

Probably some readers know that the author is still studying. During the serialization of *Edge of Order* and *Master of the Strange Realm*, I went from undergraduate to master's degree, and during the serialization of *Whispering Poem*, I went from master's to doctoral degree. Originally, one of the reasons for starting to write was my love for online literature, and part of the reason was that I didn't know what the future would be like and wanted to find an income for myself. If the performance of *Whispering Poem* hadn't continued to grow during my master's degree, my willingness to pursue a doctorate might not have been so strong. This book and you have influenced a part of my life trajectory, and I am proud to have written this book.

Now that I am about to graduate with a doctorate (if there is no problem with the thesis), the serialization of this book has also entered the ten-million-word level. Although it cannot be compared with the achievements of the great gods, the author is grateful for every subscription of every reader. You have given my future more choices and possibilities.

Don't worry about the book having a bad ending. The ending of this book was already thought of when the book was opened. It will be a grand ending that is worthy of Xia De's journey, but everyone may have to wait two or three years to see it. Thank you again for your support. If I can graduate this year, I will still work hard to update after I find a job (if I can find a suitable job), and work hard to add updates.

Since the beginning of this book, except for the two days when I could only update side stories during the special stage of being blocked, I have never broken the update. I add updates on holidays, and start with five chapters on the Spring Festival. This is not only out of professional ethics, but also because the author knows that the performance of this book is hard-won, knows the impact of this profession on the future, knows the support of readers, and the author himself deeply loves the story of Xia De and this world.

Bow and thank you again, the story of *Whispering Poem* continues to set sail. Unless there are special circumstances and chapter-end sentiments, such sentiments will not be added to the main text in the future, so as not to destroy the reading experience.
