Chapter 105: Launch Thoughts

It’s going live.

The VIP Chapters will start releasing at exactly noon on January 22.

With my last book, I made a mistake. A lot of readers told me days after I went live that they had no idea it happened…

This led to the initial subscriptions being quite low for my last book.

Of course, even if those readers did come, the initial subscriptions wouldn’t have been much higher… After all, it was really low, but that was a special time, and initial subscriptions were generally lackluster, not just for me.

So, I’m writing this pre-launch note for this book to tell you all that it’s launching.

Have you lined up your sugar mommas yet? Do you need me to get you some sugar momma joy balls?

Have you gathered money from under the bridge yet?

Remember to come on time to contribute to the initial subscription.

……………

After circling around and stumbling, I’ve now written six books.

This is the sixth launch note, and I’ve pretty much said what needs to be said…

But since I’m writing this, might as well say a few words.

I’m not good at crying poor or playing the victim; some authors make millions a year and can still claim in a note that they can’t afford rice for the next day’s pot, making it seem like if you don’t subscribe, you’re doing them a grave injustice, like you’re killing them for money.

I can’t do that. When relatives ask me during holidays how much I’m making a month now… I quickly deny it, saying no, no, I only make so much a month now, far from the number you said.

I can give them an exact figure down to the nearest hundred.

If I say even a little more, I feel guilty and embarrassed, my face burning.

Writing books is for making money…

Using brainpower to earn money to support one’s family is nothing to be ashamed of.

But I don’t like treating people like fools, and boasting isn’t my thing.

I’ll plainly say here, if you find my book barely acceptable, and see that my attitude as an author is quite decent, please support the official version and subscribe on the Qidian website, allowing the book to go further…

Put simply, many books die halfway because of disappointing results.

After all, not everyone is Cao Xueqin, who has such a deep sense of bitterness and hatred that they want to finish a book and end up poor for life, supported only by sentiment and love…

I really don’t have that ability.

I can’t claim that I write very well; if I did, I’d be earning millions a year by now, not struggling to write two books at once.

And even then, it doesn’t earn as much as one manuscript fee.

At the very least, I haven’t stopped updating in six or seven years in this industry; I wouldn’t say updates are very diligent, but my attitude is definitely upright.

I definitely will do my best with updating.

If subscriptions are in place, adding extra Chapters is no big deal.

As long as the manuscript fee is enough, no one will dislike having more money.

Writing books is to support the family, and the public period has been free for almost two months now. It’s the time to reap the rewards… Let’s see how many of those forty thousand bookmarks are willing to stay as legitimate readers.

Let’s see how far this book can go.

By the way, let me tell you the rules for additional Chapters.

It’s still 500 starting for initial subscriptions, for every 100 additional initial subscriptions, I’ll add a Chapter. Back in the day, my debut had initial subscriptions of 500, and we shouldn’t forget our origins, right? I don’t dare to start with 3000 or so, since my initial subscriptions have never exceeded 3000 anyway. It would be awkward to define an additional Chapter rule and then not add a single one because of it, so let’s start lower, and the surprises can be more.

As for monthly tickets, I actually have no hope… Not to mention releasing at the end of the month, even if it’s the beginning of the month, many times when my daily sales rank is higher, and my number of bookmarks is more than double others, the monthly ticket ranking is still over two hundred places lower than theirs, and I don’t know why.

After six books, I’ve never even made it into the top ten of any category, which is quite a shame.

Rewards will also lead to additional Chapters.

I accumulate my rewards from the backend.

There weren’t many rewards before going live, but I’ve counted them, and I will gradually add Chapters to make up for it in the future.

Plus, with rewards after going live, if there’s an Alliance Leader, I’ll add six Chapters without question, even though that’s unlikely, it’d be great if there were.

For other scattered rewards, even if you reward me with 2 cents, I’ll include it in the total… and once it adds up to 200 yuan, I’ll add a Chapter.

As for the Silver Alliance, it’s still the same phrase: if you dare to give it to me, I’ll dare to die suddenly to please you.

Yes, yes, I’m waiting to push myself to the limit for you…

I hope everyone stays and I continue to see you in this Chapter’s comments.

Keep it up!!!

PS: The VIP Chapters start releasing at noon tomorrow, please support and show your enthusiasm…
