Chapter 66: Listing comments

At last, this novel has made it to the premium release.

Regarding some of the feedback concerning plot pacing, I personally believe that the later chapters maintain a good speed.

For those expecting an immediate, saccharine romance, this book may not be to your liking.

Some of you might be wondering why this particular work is categorized as a novella submitted for a writing contest.

The truth is, I hadn’t initially harbored high expectations for this book, contemplating a change of platforms if its performance metrics proved unsatisfactory.

A quick glance at my personal profile would reveal that I’ve actually written quite a substantial amount, with my earliest works dating back to 2021, many of which unfortunately never secured a publishing contract.

Therefore, the fact that this novel has progressed to its premium release is already well beyond my initial expectations.

While I cannot predict the ultimate success of this book, I personally consider its current standing to be quite commendable.

At its core, writing has always been a personal hobby, and reflecting on it, I realize I’ve been pursuing this passion for fourteen years now.

Now, returning to the subject of this novel.

The pacing in the upcoming chapters will be relatively quicker, primarily focusing on everyday life and affectionate interactions (TL Note: ‘Tiētiē’ is a Chinese internet slang term referring to intimate, close, or affectionate interactions, often used in romantic or very friendly contexts.), though there might be some unexpected plot twists interspersed throughout.

The journey ahead is still quite long, and I will endeavor to refine the plot to the best of my ability.

For now, I have no plans to create a fan group; I will only consider it if there is a significant increase in requests.

Regarding tips and monthly passes, I encourage everyone to contribute only what they can comfortably afford, as I understand that spending money to read is not always easy.

As I currently owe 67 bonus chapters from previous commitments, I will be releasing additional chapters irregularly, beyond the usual daily updates.

Regarding the rules for future bonus chapters, well, I’ll follow the common practice: 50 monthly passes or a cumulative 500 in tips will trigger an extra chapter.

However, for readers who are unable to contribute financially, you can still support by liking the chapters; 200 likes will count towards an additional chapter, with this system commencing from the premium release.

In closing.

My heartfelt thanks go out to all the readers who have accompanied me on this journey thus far.

Please eagerly anticipate the 20,000-word bonus update coinciding with the premium release this Saturday; rest assured, Lin Shiyue will finally make her move.
