Thank you for your support as the novel is officially released.

Thank you, dear readers.

I've been so busy that I forgot to write a message for the book's release, which is a bit embarrassing...

I must express my gratitude to all of you, and share a few words to put your minds at ease.

First:

The book is now available, and I earnestly ask for your support!

Every legitimate subscription you purchase through the platform is a driving force behind my updates. With more subscriptions, I can afford my meals, feel refreshed and inspired, and pour my heart into writing more chapters. No matter how hard or exhausting it gets, as long as I see your subscriptions, fatigue disappears! I can push myself to update as much as possible.

Second:

Let me explain the update schedule.

For the first month after release, my goal is to update ten thousand words every day!

If I don't reach ten thousand words, wouldn't that make me lazy?

I enjoy writing chapters of several thousand words each, and since I often need to revise them, updates will generally be posted in the evenings.

Please don't worry or rush me, dear readers.

Third:

Let me clarify the rules for bonus chapters. Every time a reader becomes a Major Patron, I'll add five bonus chapters; accumulating enough rewards for a Major Patron also adds five chapters. For every five hundred monthly tickets, I'll add one more chapter.

There is no upper limit (hands on hips!).

As long as you keep voting for me, I'll dedicate myself to being a code-writing machine for the entire year, with no days off.

Fourth:

Let me report on the results so far.

With over thirty thousand bookmarks and a first-day subscription count of 4,200, the subscription-to-bookmark ratio is less than ten. For these results, I am truly delighted.

When I saw these astonishing numbers, I remembered the friend who first brought me into the industry, who loved writing, who promised to work hard together... but who ultimately had to leave this profession in disappointment.

I couldn't help but wonder...

Could this be my one and only chance in life to reach ten thousand subscriptions?

So.

You need not worry about me abandoning this project. I will give everything I have to imagine the plot, to keep updating!

To fulfill the shattered dream of my dear friend...

...
