The first part of the novel contained about 950,000 characters, and the second part approximately 1.12 million. Chu Tian had already redeemed the rights to the second part when he had an excess of Reputation Points, but he hadn't released it simply because he had completely forgotten about it.
If it weren't for his editor, Qiu Ye, calling him, he wouldn't have even remembered.
Since they had brought it up, of course, he would go with the flow. However, this time he definitely couldn't just publish it directly as he had the first time.
Previously, he had no fame and needed to leverage the platform's popularity and traffic for promotion, so he chose to publish directly.
However, this put him at a disadvantage, as he had to split all rights with the platform equally and didn't even have the authority to intervene.
Now, with the success of the first part, his position in subsequent collaborations was no longer so passive, allowing him to set his own terms.
