Chapter 67: On-Shelf Statement
The book goes on sale at 12 AM tonight, so I’ll just chat a bit.
This is my second book and my first book on Dian Niang.
My previous book, published on an external platform, had dismal data when it went on sale, with 800 collections and just over 100 first-day subscriptions.
However, with the idea that “an author’s book is like their child, and it deserves a complete life no matter what,” I still finished it by updating 200,000 characters per month.
The book’s final performance rose to an average of 9,000 subscriptions, almost reaching 10,000.
As for the current book, the initial data is undoubtedly much better than the previous one, and I have to consider if this is the only chance I will ever have.
I won’t talk too much about the hardships. I always believe that to make readers willing to read your novels and pay for subscriptions with real money, the quality of the writing is the only hard currency.
Of course, there’s also the update speed.
If you update slowly and keep delaying, even the best writing is useless.
Fortunately, although my typing speed is slow, I haven’t become a corporate slave yet, so I still have plenty of time to write.
As the saying goes, diligence can make up for lack of skill.
…
After going on sale tomorrow, there will be a guaranteed 10,000-character update, and I’ll try my best to write more.
By the way, I’m launching a small monthly ticket bonus chapter giveaway.
Throughout February, for every 300 monthly tickets accumulated, there will be an additional 2,000-character update on top of the daily 4,000-character update.
The giveaway is capped at 30 chapters. I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish more, although I’m sure it won’t reach that point.
Additionally, I must thank my benefactor, Jueyi Ru Jun Tianxia Shao. Not only did my good friend grant me a Silver Alliance, but he also sponsored a monthly ticket lottery, essentially giving away some benefits.
The grand prize is a 518 yuan red envelope, for a total of one such prize.
The small prize is a 128 yuan red envelope, for a total of five such prizes.
Don’t ask why it’s 518 instead of 648, it’s because I’m a Moon Cell enthusiast.
The lottery will still be open to all readers who cast their monthly tickets in February. The winners will be selected based on the serial numbers of their monthly tickets. The more votes you cast, the higher your chances of winning. The prizes will be distributed in the reader group that will be established soon.
Please note that monthly tickets cast in February (from February 1st to February 29th) are eligible for the lottery.

Finally, I’d like to thank my editor, Penglai. He has given me a lot of guidance, and I’ve received plenty of recommendation slots.
I also need to thank my author friends from external platforms. Many plot points in this book, especially the part where Sylvia jumps into the sea, were discussed during our late-night gaming sessions. That is also my personal favorite plot point up to this point.
Now, I’m off to write.
See you at 12 AM.
My wife leading the charge.
