A Few Honest Words from the Heart

I admit that my update schedule has been somewhat slack lately. This is entirely my fault and I have no one else to blame.

I have wanted to talk to you all about this for a long time, though I hardly knew where to begin. From the moment I started writing this book, I was aiming straight for the Sanjiang and Top Recommendation slots. Yet who could have imagined that I would miss out on every single one? That sense of disappointment dragged my spirits down into a slump.

Fifteen days since the official release, the average subscription count currently stands at one thousand. For a brand-new author, this might already be considered a respectable achievement. But for someone like me—an old, washed-up hack wearing the skin of a Level 1 author—feeling heartbroken and distressed is simply inevitable.

I have a family to support. As a middle-born-in-ninety-two adult, making a living has become one of the most paramount responsibilities in my life.

Of course, telling you all this is not meant to imply that I am going to drop the book or halt updates. Rather, I want to make my stance clear: starting tomorrow, I will shake off this lethargy and maintain at least two updates a day.

To be honest, since I began writing, it is not as if I have never produced a hit novel. But I love this particular book from the very bottom of my heart. While its commercial performance may not be the best, the genuine effort I have poured into it is unprecedented.

I write to make a living, but I truly love writing. Just as truly, I love the apocalyptic genre.

Given the current climate, a single misstep can easily lead to complete obscurity. For those observant readers who pay attention, you should be able to tell that the world-building in this story is entirely fictionalized—you can simply think of it as a parallel universe. That is precisely why the protagonist has no prior knowledge of where the monsters originate.

Finally, I want to offer my sincere apologies to everyone for my recent listlessness. I am deeply grateful to the friends who have accompanied me all the way to this point. Though words fail me, I can only offer a deep bow of gratitude from this old, struggling writer.

Thank you so much!
