Another new week has arrived. Many readers may have noticed that books from the same period as mine have already gone on sale, while mine has not. The reason is simple—most of those books have reached either 250,000 or 200,000 words, while my measly 170,000 words still feel far from enough.

There’s a saying: "What others have, ours must have too." At the very least, I should reach 200,000 words before putting it up for sale, so I requested a delay. This means recommendation votes remain crucial for me.

I hope everyone can spare a few more—good sales performance upon release is what fuels my motivation to keep updating! For those saving chapters to binge-read, I hope you’ll drop by every now and then. Your support is what keeps me going!

Though my average update count last week was nothing impressive, I did manage a triple update on the final day. Where there’s a first time, there’ll be a second! In the end, a thousand words can be condensed into one sentence: I humbly ask for your recommendation votes!

They are my greatest motivation to keep writing. Thank you all!
