Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 83

Chapter 83: Listing Remarks

рlease,reading On ΒΟXΝOVEL.ϹʘM

The book is going on the shelves tonight!

The idea to start this book was actually quite impulsive.

Many friends advised me not to write it, saying that the niche is too small, the market limited, and it’s relatively obscure, so the performance is probably uncertain.

When it comes to writing a book, what’s the most important thing in choosing a subject? Is it market acceptance? Is it within one’s ability to write?

These are important, but they’re not the most important.

To me, what’s most important is, what am I really passionate about creating and expressing?

What do I want to write about? Space opera, interstellar themes, World War I/II style warfare, cannons and tanks, Mecha, special forces, trench warfare, human wave assaults…

Then find a way to concretize these ideas. Total War + Stellaris + Hearts of Iron + Warhammer 40k… Mixing all these together is something that really excites me.

So I started writing without listening to advice, and once I finished, I published it.

The start wasn’t smooth, the results weren’t great, to the point where my editor told me I could be featured on Sanjiang, I was actually surprised and thrilled—I thought it was a no-go…

Of course, overall, the performance still wasn’t considered good.

I was prepared for that.

To write what I want and then hope to find readers who can vibe with my thoughts, that’s my goal.

That’s roughly the background of the creation of the book. Tonight it goes on the shelves, and I’m here to talk about the update plan.

For the long-term updates, I plan to write a fixed 4000 characters every day, which is about 2 chapters. Sometimes it may be combined into one chapter, and I’ll try to release it all by noon.

Some comrades have said that’s too little, but I can’t help it. Approaching middle age, my energy isn’t what it used to be, with a day job and family, it’s hard to commit to more.

But I’ll strive to add more on top of the 2 chapters, hoping to often reach 3 updates, but I can’t guarantee that. I can only say that 2 chapters are guaranteed.

If any good things happen, like if the average subscriptions hit a round number, or if I get a large tip (10 chapters for a Leader!), or if my boss gets hit by a car when he goes out (just kidding)… On those occasions, I’ll try to add more on top of the 2 chapters!

Now, let’s talk about the update plan for the day of the launch.

The two chapters for today were released at noon, free chapters;

After midnight tonight, I’ll directly release 5 chapters;

Then at 11 a.m. tomorrow, there will be 2 regular chapters;

That makes for 7 chapters on the day of the launch.

If the average subscription goes over 1000, I’ll add one more chapter! And another for every additional 1000! (Though I doubt it’ll go any higher).

So that’s the plan, and I hope everyone can come and show their support! Your support will allow me to write this book for a long time to come, ensuring a steady output, and hopefully, some of the income can help supplement the family expenses!

See you tonight!
