Lord: Stripped of My Inheritance from the Start Chapter 115: Belated VIP Launch Testimonial

Greetings to all my esteed readers. This book has been pay-to-read for a few days now~

To be honest, the timing for going premium wasn’t great.

For one, it’s the end of the year, and I’ve been busy with all sorts of things.

For another, I happened to get into a car accident last Tuesday. Between dealing with the damage assessnt and going to the hospital, I used up my entire Chapter buffer. This ant I couldn’t release any extra Chapters for the premium launch, which I’m a bit embarrassed about, haha.

(Next week is going to be tight as well. My grandmother is being laid to rest, so I have to take two days off to go ho for the funeral. I’m trying to build up a Chapter buffer this week to ensure there are no interruptions in the release schedule.)

Now that it’s been a few days since the premium launch, let’s talk about the book’s performance.

I went premium at 300,000 characters, which is quite late. I was the one who delayed the launch by a week because I didn’t feel ready. As it turned out, I still wasn’t ready.

At the ti of the launch, I had around 6,700 bookmarks. That number has dropped a little since then, and new growth is slow.

Currently, my average subscription count is 320, with a peak of 417.

What can I say about these numbers? I’m obviously no match for the top authors.

But for a fledgling author like myself, who’s still lacking in skill and experience, I guess it’s not too bad?

I have to say, the Fantasy Channel is really a tough market. I was looking at the data analytics site and saw that my book actually managed to hit #99 on the Fantasy Channel’s bestseller list...

I honestly never imagined my book could ever be associated with the word "bestselling."

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of my esteed readers for following the story, for all your votes, and for your donations.

I’m not sure what else to say, so I’ll just wish you all an early Happy New Year! THUD! THUD! THUD!

Now, let’s talk about the future plot of the book.

I’ve already written the main outline and the plot for each story arc, so the overall direction is pretty clear.

However, when it cos down to the actual writing of each Chapter, I still feel the pressure, especially when I read so of the reader comnts.

For example, when so readers said my kingdom-building arcs were too padded, I would try to write through those sections more quickly the next ti they ca up.

But the mont I start thinking like that, I completely lose track of how to write. I end up writing and deleting, deleting and writing, and after ages of struggling, my word count is still zero. It’s an awful feeling.

Eventually, I just had to steel myself and stop reading the comnts for a few days.

...

I won’t say any more; it’s ntally draining to think about.

Finally, while thanking all you esteed readers for your support once again, I also want to humbly ask for your subscriptions.

I’m hoping the average subscription count can rise to 500. That way, I’ll be able to qualify for Qidian’s bonus program~
