I overestimated myself a bit. I had intended to churn out five chapters yesterday, but continuous, high-intensity writing really took its toll; my brain just stopped cooperating mid-flow.

Then this morning, just as I was gearing up to write, I opened the webpage and nearly jumped out of my skin. I was second in the Sci-Fi rankings before I went to sleep, but how did I plummet to fourth overnight? It's just too much to bear!

The competition is fierce, but we must fight on! Even if this is just a niche otaku novel, it still has a chance to compete with the mainstream hits. Who says nerds are inferior? When a dedicated fan powers up, they are formidable, an unstoppable force! Last month's climb into the top six of the category is the best proof of that!

Let’s charge forward once more! In this three-dimensional world, let the two-dimensional realm be our fortress! Let those monthly tickets soar! Let's achieve brilliance again!

P.S. Subscriptions are also critically important. The readership that had just started to recover has dropped again, I want to weep! So, to the brothers who have the means, please support the official release a little. If you accidentally catch a virus by reading from other sources, a system repair costs thirty or fifty yuan, but thirty or fifty yuan is enough to support the official version for several months. So I appeal again: if you can afford it, please support the genuine product. Consider it a small token of support for this third-rate author who is still writing despite having a fever. Thank you! A
