Tell me something
Let me get straight to the point: I want monthly tickets, and I am going to give out some monthly ticket red envelopes. You can get them before you vote, and they should be five yuan each (but I don’t know how users can get them, so readers can research it on their own)

Then chat.

The writing of this book is not the result of my own efforts. The support of readers, the performance of the editor (laughs), the attention of relatives and friends, the direct realization of royalties, etc., all these reasons prompted me to have the intention to rush to the monthly ticket list.

This book went from being ranked over 100 when it was first put on the shelves to being ranked over 50 last month even after taking a few days off. It seems that it still has great potential.

At the same time, the editor said that the monthly ticket list has been revamped this month and vote-rigging is no longer encouraged.

Also, this book is almost one million words long, which is about to meet the requirements of some readers who would not read it if it is less than one million words.

In addition, there are recommendations for best-selling selections on October 3rd.

With all the favorable factors, I decided to implement my intention of rushing to the charts to see how high this book can get.

So, please give me a monthly ticket.

Well, of course, some readers will not be satisfied with this update and will not want to vote for it.

So I thought about it, and while I was preparing to ask for monthly votes, I would also buy some monthly ticket red envelopes (that is, giving out five dollars for one monthly ticket), to see if these readers who are upset but can still tolerate it can heal themselves psychologically and reluctantly vote for some monthly tickets.

We need to take a two-pronged approach and take multiple aspects into consideration.

Let’s get back to the update.

How should I put it? This matter still makes me feel ashamed.

Others ask for monthly tickets as a basic fee, but I really don't have the face to guarantee it. I can only say that I hope everyone will leave a little monthly ticket. If you feel satisfied with the subsequent updates, vote. If not, just give up. Since I put it on the shelf, the performance of full attendance is far away. Last month alone, I should have lost 20,000 performance.

It would be a lie to say that I don't feel sad or don't want it, but it may be because I'm getting older and my mind is not as sharp as before. The word "with ease" is gradually drifting away from me.

Especially if you stayed up late the day before, no matter what time it was, you have to get up on time at 8 o'clock the next day. Even if you take a day off from work or are simply late, you cannot sleep in to recover.

Being exhausted both physically and mentally with no chance of recovery, errors accumulate and one day you will have to take a day off.

As for the two days I took at the end of the month, it was because of the difficulty of writing (the difficulty is relative, not to brag about how well I wrote, but to say that for a talent like mine, this book was very time-consuming to write)
There were twenty-four pieces of information that I had to look up in the previous chapter alone. The original historical materials needed punctuation translation, the journal was a dozen pages short, and the doctoral thesis was over 200 pages long. Even if I read it all in a hurry, it would take me a while to read it. Add to that the unsatisfactory drafts, and time flies.

Many people say that they have a solid foundation, but in fact, it is not true. Hard work can make up for lack of talent.

I also understand that completion is more important than perfection in many cases. After all, it is an online novel, and continuity is a better solution to quality. But sometimes dissatisfaction makes me feel itchy all over, and I am especially afraid of being criticized by readers.

Compared with the psychological pressure of delaying updates, the psychological pressure of quality decline or even being criticized for lowering one's intelligence is greater, so we have to choose the lesser of two evils.

Therefore, delaying the completion of manuscripts became a habit for this book.

So, regarding the update of the monthly votes this time, I can only say that I will do my best during the National Day holiday. I will not make any extra guarantees and my readers can vote according to their mood.

Finally, happy National Day to everyone. Later when the operation is up and running, I will entrust him to send some red envelopes among the readers so that we can share in the celebration together.

that's all.
