Chapter 550

Alright, it's almost time for the official release!

I'm a complete novice, the kind of newbie who's just starting out. This book was signed at 60,000 words. Its first recommendation, a trial promotion in the popular fantasy genre, came at 100,000 words.

As those familiar with the process know, it's quite rare for a book to break through from this stage. At least, from all the books I've observed in both preceding and following periods, truly outstanding ones are few and far between.

And yet, this book actually made it!

I must extend my sincerest thanks to my editor, Shengxia. Though quietly working behind the scenes, they've been consistently supportive, ensuring I always had a promotion slot. From trial promotions to official release, from a spot in a popular genre to a strong recommendation on the homepage... My heartfelt thanks!

Heaven knows, among the books that debuted around the same time as mine, after their trial periods, some launched, some were abandoned, and some were even abandoned after launching. It was truly unnerving to watch!

But precisely because of this, I'm even more thankful to all of you! Without each of your additions to favorites, every recommendation ticket, and each generous tip, this book wouldn't have stood out, nor would it have achieved such excellent results, consistently ranking first or second in almost every promotion slot among its contemporaries!

A million thanks! (bows)

Regarding the book, its fundamental style will remain unchanged. This became evident from the moment Xu Xiaoshou appeared and managed to break the system's pointer. This character is destined to be extraordinary: uniquely imaginative, a bit absurd, and occasionally prone to "chuunibyou" moments of youthful zeal.

Of course, some readers might not enjoy this, and that's perfectly normal. I have a good mindset; being liked by even a small group of people is deeply satisfying. If I were to wish for anything more, it would be to win over... just a few more readers!

My initial goal in writing this book was simply for readers to enjoy some light entertainment in their leisure time. Beyond that, I hoped that as the plot unfolds, it could evoke various emotions... be it bursts of laughter, deep contemplation, or quiet reflection. If that happens, it would be absolutely fantastic! If not, at least I hope you've had a laugh. So, no regrets!

As for the supporting characters, my intention from the outset was that not everyone would revolve around a single protagonist, regardless of whether that character is Xu Xiaoshou or Xu Dagong. My approach is to first define their personalities, and then, at the opportune moment, have them make either a grand or dazzling appearance. My goal is that once they enter the story, they actively drive the plot forward.

There's a fine line between genius and madness. If my characters ever become ordinary, it's a strong sign that I've likely lost my passion!

These are my thoughts.

But right now, my passion is soaring! This is my first book, and its first official release!

I hope you, my fellow readers, will generously support the initial subscriptions. This is incredibly important, as it directly impacts future recommendations. It's tough for a newcomer, and this is my only way to carve out a path for myself! (cries)

If our journey together isn't meant to extend beyond the free chapters, I still hope you'll consider the 240,000 free words you've enjoyed and support the initial subscription. However, if you're willing to fight alongside me, that would be even better! I earnestly ask you all to charge forward with me!

The book will officially launch tomorrow at 12:00 PM. While the system might experience some delays, I promise I won't be absent! I'll lead the charge, so please remember to follow me, don't leave me to fight alone...

Ten chapters to kick things off!

Please support the initial subscriptions!!!
