Truthfully, I really dislike writing standalone bonus chapters because they can often be more taxing than writing the main narrative, requiring careful consideration of phrasing and tone—it’s truly agonizing. Yet, if I don't offer them, there will be no [XXX], and my ranking won't climb. It's a genuine dilemma.

Last month's hiatus probably disappointed many readers, which resulted in this month's [XXX] performance being lackluster. I have nothing to say about that; my update schedule was indeed terrible. Therefore, this month, I am desperately trying to redeem my reputation.

However, as a **[Stream] writer, I genuinely cannot maintain a stable daily update schedule. If inspiration strikes today, I can write more; if I have none, perhaps I won't finish a single chapter. As you’ve seen in the last few days, I’ve been writing until two or three in the morning every night. While it might not seem like a lot, it is the result of over ten hours of focused effort.

Spending more time doesn't guarantee better writing, but for me, I have exerted my utmost effort, ensuring quantity while also maintaining quality to the best of my ability.

I slept early last night and woke up early today, finally completing two chapters before noon, which makes me very happy. But I cannot rest yet; I must keep writing because my ranking on the [XXX] Chart is in serious jeopardy.

This month’s [XXX] Chart started unfavorably, and I'm still clinging precariously to seventh place. The gap with those ahead is significant, but those behind are breathing down my neck; it feels like I could be overtaken in an instant. Still, I haven't given up, nor do I wish to.

Other authors have strong appeal; a casual request for votes yields dozens or hundreds. I don't have that kind of influence, so I must rely on dedicated updates, writing frantically, hoping my sincerity moves readers enough to cast a vote for me.

Today is the 26th, leaving five days until the end of the month. I’ve set a personal goal for these final five days: to churn out fifty thousand characters.

For me right now, achieving this goal is incredibly difficult, but much like fighting for a spot on the [XXX] Chart, even if it’s arduous, I will commit my whole heart and soul to striving for it.

The storyline for this volume is now nearing its conclusion, with only the final arc of rescuing the Priestess remaining. After that, the next volume will dive into the world of Type-Moon.

I am eagerly anticipating the Type-Moon narrative, and especially the clash between Eastern concepts and Type-Moon lore. I believe many readers share my anticipation. So, can we conclude the Eastern story amidst celebration, and then commence the Type-Moon saga in a similarly joyous atmosphere?

Could you cast one [XXX] vote for me, to bring a little warmth to this season that has already grown cold? Can you?

……Please vote for [XXX]! RO
