The Great Demon Lord's book has been out for exactly thirty-one days since its launch on the third of March, and it has been a journey through every flavor of hardship and joy. Allow me to briefly share the experience of this new release.

From the launch until the thirteenth, spanning the first eleven days, this novel barely scraped together less than a thousand clicks and only a handful of collections. Only after being promoted to the "Little Strong Push" from the fourteenth until the twenty-first did the collections barely exceed one thousand for the whole week.

The real explosion began late in the afternoon of the twenty-third. That day, the ranking surged to fifteenth place on the Newcomer Chart.

On the twenty-seventh, the rank settled at third on the Newcomer Chart.

The twenty-eighth brought the Sanjiang recommendation. It shot to first place on the Newcomer Chart, while wobbling around fifteenth on the Weekly Clicks Chart, hovering near fortieth on the Weekly Recommendation Chart, with collections around twenty-seven hundred.

As I write this on April third, the Newcomer Chart ranking is gone. We are sixth on the Monthly Clicks Chart, twenty-sixth on the Weekly Recommendation Chart, twentieth on the Monthly Recommendation Chart, and the collection count has surpassed eleven thousand. Simultaneously, we have secured a personalized recommendation banner in the center profile for one week.

Might I mention, this humble writer has three high-level VIP accounts, in addition to this author account. Generally, I cast eighteen to nineteen votes for myself daily, contributing one or two member clicks.

I can state with pride that, apart from that, I have not fabricated a single click or recommendation vote.

Every bit of success has been painstakingly built up by every enthusiastic reader—one click, one recommendation, one collection, one comment, piling up slowly.

Therefore, thank you all; truly, I am deeply grateful. It is you who are pushing The Great Demon Lord forward step by step.

...

I am not being arrogant by detailing the above. It is simply my desire that The Great Demon Lord's forward momentum never halts.

Whether it is the Monthly Ticket Chart or the Weekly Recommendation Chart on Qidian—every Grand Master began as an ordinary person. The success they enjoy today was built by their readers: one click, one recommendation, one subscription, one monthly ticket. Bit by bit, drop by drop, they accumulated until they were raised to their current heights, creating miracles and legends.

...

Enough pleasantries. I will state my purpose, my goal, or perhaps call it my ambition—I am telling you plainly and openly.

This week's ambition is to attempt to break into the front page of the Weekly Recommendation Chart, meaning the top fifteen spots.

I know this is difficult; arguably, extremely difficult. Which of the established Grand Masters in the top fifteen is an easy rival? Stealing food from the tiger's mouth is never a simple feat.

But difficulty does not mean impossibility. Because I have you—you who bring me confidence and strength. We are not numerous; we are only eleven thousand. Compared to those collections numbering in the hundreds of thousands—twenty, or even forty or fifty thousand—we are few.

But I firmly believe we can do it. For we cultivators of the demonic path value living as we please and defying Heaven. If we can defy Heaven itself, how much more so a mere Weekly Recommendation Chart?

However, my strength and confidence derive entirely from you, from every reader brother and sister who loves The Great Demon Lord.

To every brother and sister who loves The Great Demon Lord, do you not wish to witness, to participate in a miracle? Come on, I have nineteen votes; combined with yours, we can surely succeed.

Perhaps some might say, though I like The Great Demon Lord, I prefer to support another author. In that case, I humbly implore you: spare just one vote for me. Just that single, small vote will give me immense encouragement. Thank you.

One vote—I only need one vote. If every brother and sister who reads this message logs in, clicks, and casts a vote for me, I will create a miracle with you. A miracle where a new author, with only eleven thousand collections, breaks onto the Weekly Recommendation Chart.

I hope you can use one member click, one recommendation ticket, to kick me straight up to the clouds so I can see the view from up there. And then, loudly proclaim to all readers that there is a book called The Great Demon Lord that is rapidly ascending!!!!

Deepest thanks, Roar, howls, awoo!!!! Awoo! Grant me strength, I am Rao Ming~M
