Report on Launch Results

In the first twenty-four hours, the initial subscription count was 1,902, with peak subscriptions reaching 2,056. I failed to meet the passing mark of 2,000 initial subscriptions.

I overestimated myself.

Actually, the third chapter after launch surpassed 2,000 subscriptions, but the first chapter only had 1,902. Many people didn’t subscribe to the first chapter and jumped straight to a later one.

That was my fault. I should have released two more public chapters, then made the third chapter the first VIP chapter. That way, I probably could have passed.

However, as long as I didn’t reach the 3,000 premium-subscription threshold, it honestly wouldn’t make much difference whether I had 1,900 or 2,900 subscriptions.

Still, since I failed to pass, there won’t be any bonus updates.

I updated thirty-four chapters yesterday.

They included one public chapter in the morning, five chapters upon launch, twelve chapters each for the two Alliance Leaders, Ye Shang Kong Ming and FFF Regiment Leader, totaling twenty-four chapters, one chapter for Nation-Stealing Madman, and three bonus chapters for monthly votes.

The total number of monthly votes this month is 482. The previous monthly votes weren’t easy to tally, but since I still haven’t received the honor for obtaining 1,000 monthly votes, I’ll provisionally count the total as 900 votes. Before the end of the month, I’ll add another bonus update based on the increase in monthly votes, which should bring things about up to par.

I currently have fewer than a hundred chapters in reserve, and maintaining a daily output of ten thousand words before the end of the year won’t be a problem.

Finally, thank you all, dear readers, for your support.
