To put it simply in two sentences...
Good morning, everyone.
Thank you so much for your tremendous support yesterday—the results for the initial subscriptions were excellent! Seeing so many people subscribe, leave comments, vote, and send rewards has been the greatest motivation for me.
I’ve never experienced such treatment before; honestly, I’m a bit nervous and anxious about your feedback. Upon reflection, I must admit I slightly overestimated my abilities. I barely slept since yesterday, and after completing ten chapters, my mind was nearly exhausted, so I feel the quality may have slipped a little.
But with your strong support, I am determined to work even harder. Rest assured, I will be more careful moving forward, ensuring both quality and pacing, and strive to maintain consistent updates without filler content.
Yesterday’s attempt—writing over fifteen thousand words—left me quite shaky. So, at the moment, my limit seems to be ten thousand words a day, which I can still manage. I’ll do my best to guarantee at least ten thousand words daily: around two thousand words per chapter for four updates, or three to four thousand words per chapter for three updates, aiming to keep the excitement going and break my bad habits.
Now, regarding extra updates:
For your enthusiastic subscriptions and votes yesterday, there will be +5 extra updates.
Special thanks for the rewards:
Thank you to reader 20230607104632817 for two leadership rewards! (+5 extra updates)
Thank you to Sad but Voice Actor for the 5000 reward, and to readers Ghost Emperor; Searching for Him a Thousand Times in Dreams; Silent Inquiry; Since Then, Old Scenes Remain; afrashui; 9527 Xiao; Song Little Friend Two; Three Three Five Two; tsuki2008; Wind Red Peach; Tail Number 3256176… and many others who have generously supported me—thank you all!
Results +5, First Premium +5, Average Subscription is likely to hit premium soon, so another +5. (Premium means 3000 subscriptions.)
If results continue to rise, I’ll keep adding updates; for every additional five hundred subscriptions, five more updates will be added. If monthly votes reach a thousand, another +5—these will be counted together.
At present, I owe you all 25 extra updates. (Just keeping track for now.)
I don’t have any stockpiled chapters, but I’ll ensure the daily ten thousand words as a baseline, and gradually repay the owed updates.
I’ll reflect on previous issues, increase the pace, and bring in more content and classics—there’s still so much left to write.
Originally, I wanted to say a few more words… but hunger and a muddled brain made me forget everything. Still, I think I covered the main points.
I really need a nap.
Finally, thank you all sincerely for your support! Let’s rise together! Let’s become bigger and stronger! Let’s create new brilliance!
Online fiction will never die, and our passion will never fade!
Erha bows in gratitude!
