To be perfectly honest, I uploaded the chapter today brimming with excitement, anticipation, and eagerness, constantly refreshing my feed to see your comments.

But it was only after I saw everyone mentioning they couldn't view it that I noticed the issue on the webpage, leaving me anxious and fretting all day.

So many lovely readers urged me to post a separate announcement explaining things, but I didn't want to take up space in the novel's actual chapters, and frankly, I was feeling a bit down about it too, so I stubbornly held off on posting an explanation. However, later in the evening, when I realized some readers reported they couldn't see it even after subscribing, and that it wasn't working on the mobile app either, I knew I had to come here and explain myself to everyone.

Today is the May Day International Labor Day, and the editors are all off work. I've been frantic since noon, unable to focus on writing despite the time. I've been trying non-stop to reach an editor, but I truly don't know what the root cause of this problem is.

Honestly, in all my years of writing novels, this is the first time I've been so utterly flustered and lost. I truly owe all of you an apology, especially those of you who love this Reborn Supporting Female Character story. I desperately want to fix this issue for you immediately, but I haven't been able to resolve it yet.

I'm genuinely stressed, feeling hot and bothered while writing this—I even feel like crying—but I have to hold it together.

I sincerely hope this matter will be completely resolved by tomorrow morning. Once this is sorted out, I promise to find time to add two bonus chapters as compensation for everyone. I am so sorry, truly sorry to you all. C
