Dear beloved readers,
I truly don't know where to begin except with a heartfelt thank you. Because of all your support, this novel has reached 1 million views. That number isn't just a milestone to me it represents every read, every comment, every moment you chose to spend time in this world with my characters. Even though our collection is still growing, what we've achieved together already means more to me than I can put into words.
This novel is not just a story to me. It is a part of my life.
Many of you already know that my journey as an author hasn't been easy. I made a choice a risky one. I left my job to fully dedicate myself to writing, to this story, and to the dream of becoming an author. I believed in this path, even when things were uncertain… even when it was difficult.
And to be honest, it has been difficult.
There have been struggles financial, emotional, and personal. But every time I felt like giving up, I remembered all of you. The readers who stayed, who waited, who believed in my story even when I doubted myself.
That's why making this decision hurts.
After thinking for a long time, I have decided that starting from May 1, I will begin locking chapters, and I will also remove some of the earlier chapters that were not rewritten or improved.
I know this will not make everyone happy. I know some of you may leave because of this, and I truly understand. I'm not angry, and I don't blame anyone for that. As a reader myself, I know how it feels.
But as an author… this is something I must do.
Webnovel's system supports stories that earn, and if I want this novel to survive, grow, and reach more people, I need to take this step. This isn't just about money it's about being able to continue writing, to keep this story alive, and to build a future from it.
I promise you this:
I will not take your support lightly.
Every locked chapter will be written with care, with effort, and with the intention of giving you something meaningful something worth your time and trust. I will continue improving, continue learning, and continue giving my best to this story.
This journey is still far from over.
I truly hope you will stay with me. But even if some of you decide to leave, please know that I am grateful for every moment you spent reading, for every emotion you shared with this story.
Thank you for being part of my journey.
Thank you for believing in me.
With all my heart,
Kounari Family
