Chapter 94: On Sale at Noon Tomorrow!
2023-10-23 Author: Rowing Without Oars 233
This book goes on sale at noon tomorrow!
First, as is tradition, it's time for the sob story segment. To be honest, this book has had some really bad luck. The data is good and its popularity isn't low, but unfortunately, it ran into a "version nerf." In fact, even with the nerf, if it had been released in the first half of the year, it could have fought against the meta and still done very well. However, it then ran into the insanely competitive summer slot. If you were to say that fanfiction up until last year was on easy mode, then for a fanfiction this year to be put on the shelves during the summer slot and succeed with a clean sweep, the difficulty is like an Ultraman who just graduated from a Land of Light elementary school, and the beginner's mission guide tells him, "Congratulations on receiving your elementary school diploma, now go try to take down Gatanothor!"
To be fair, the fact that this book has made it this far is truly thanks to the support of every single reader. It has been so damn hard.
Of course, as the saying goes, a fierce gale reveals resilient grass, and blazing fire forges true gold. Whether this book takes off or crashes will depend on tomorrow's First Subscription data. I'm begging you! Please subscribe on the first day! I will work hard to update!
First, after it is put on the shelves at noon tomorrow, I will release five chapters in one go. The Online Reading Platform's First Subscription statistics are calculated based on the number of subscriptions for the newly released chapters within the first twenty-four hours. So, based on the number of subscriptions by noon on Saturday—that is, the day after tomorrow—I will continue to mass-release chapters depending on the situation.
This book's current collection count is close to fifty thousand, with a Consistent Readership of sixty-five hundred. This means that about fifty thousand people have added this book to their shelves, and around sixty-five hundred legitimate, paying users are reading the latest chapter within twenty-four hours of its release. Therefore, Consistent Readership is generally the most effective metric for gauging subscriptions before a book is put on the shelves.
The goal for the First Subscription isn't high; let's set the starting point at three thousand. For every five hundred subscriptions above this goal, I'll add an extra chapter. If we can reach the Consistent Readership figure of sixty-five hundred, then on Saturday, I will release an additional seven chapters in one go. Added to the two originally scheduled chapters for that day, that makes nine chapters in one day!
But then I thought, if I'm already adding nine chapters, I might as well round it up to a nice, even number. If, by some chance, the First Subscription actually matches the Consistent Readership count, then on Saturday, it'll be ten chapters in one day!
Of course, that's just a theoretical possibility; it will definitely be extremely difficult, hahaha. But you have to have a dream, right? What if...
I'll say no more. I'm preparing to pull an all-nighter to build up a stockpile of chapters. Tomorrow at noon, I'm begging for your subscription and support! Thank you in advance!!!
