Author's Note on Publication (Requesting First-Subscription)

I need to share something with my brothers. Yes, the book goes live for subscription tonight at midnight.

The news came very suddenly. I had no psychological preparation at all, but the arrow is already on the bow and it has to be fired.

It is destiny that you can see this book! It is my fortune that you brothers have added it to your bookshelves! Receiving recommendation votes, monthly votes, and tips feels like smoke rising from my ancestors' graves.

I will definitely not let down the support you all have given me.

Reflecting on all these days, I have never asked my brothers for anything.

Now that the release is imminent, I am shamelessly asking my brothers for your first subscription.

I have no other choice. I am also an ordinary person and I need to eat. Previously, my updates were posted at night because I worked during the day and only had time to type at night when I got home.

A friend asked me, "Working yourself to the bone like this, aren't you exhausted?"

Exhausted! Of course I am exhausted! A man must not only support himself, but also provide for his family! A man may be poor, but his ambitions must never fall short!

Besides, with so many great friends supporting me, how could I easily give up?

If you all like this book, please... please subscribe tonight at midnight.

I am begging for that first subscription, I am counting on you, brothers.

Great kindness requires no hollow words of thanks; I will kowtow to you all in advance.

I wish my brothers smooth romances, successful careers, good health, and healthy families.

————————

Additionally, let me outline the release update schedule.

Since it goes live at midnight, there will definitely be ten thousand words on the first day, so you can rest easy on that.

I never dared to dream of getting a grand patron, but if one appears, I will add at least three chapters starting from there.

If the first-day subscriptions exceed one thousand, I will add 1 extra chapter!

Moving forward, I will maintain daily updates of ten thousand words, and the conditions for bonus chapters remain unchanged.

Finally, and this is also very important, I sincerely hope none of you will think the word count is too small and decide to let it sit, waiting for it to grow before reading. Even if you just subscribe first and save it to read later together, that would be wonderful.

I am pleading with you all!

— Yours sincerely, Seventeen
