Chapter 32: 32. Battle for Monthly Pass_1
Originally, as a new author, I hadn’t planned on participating in the top ten battle for the monthly ticket rankings, but the unexpected success of my novel gave
a glimr of confidence.
And now, I’m just one position shy of making it onto the list.
Ren He was eagerly watching the subscription results climb rapidly from an average of 8000 all the way up, even breaking the 10,000 mark to beco an author with ten thousand subscribers in the early hours of the morning!
However, there wasn’t much improvent in the monthly ticket rankings, still stuck at 11th place, a re 2000 votes behind the 10th. He felt it was ti to unleash the killer move of online novelists…
As everyone knows, authors of physical books often might take an hour just to write 1000 words, as they ticulously polish every detail, striving to make their novels thought-provoking. So even craft stories where every part is interconnected, a writing style that is extrely ntally demanding.
Where does Ren He excel? In update speed!
In his previous life, the training and leveling routines in stories were already clichés, and he didn’t even need to ponder too much while writing this godly novel; feeling good was enough!
In terms of quality, it’s possible so imperfections might arise with the increased pace of updates, but godly novels were never known for their quality. This was sothing that many authors criticized; godly novels might be exciting, but if you talk about actual quality, they would certainly deny it.
Moreover, Ren He’s definition of this novel was never to lean towards quality. It was all about making money, no need to drag in those lofty ideals. As for those authors who criticized him, just ignore them.
If soone directly confronted Ren He with, “This is just a novel for the masses!”
Ren He would proudly respond, “Yeah, it is a novel for the masses…”
He imdiately posted an announcent: “Dear readers, let’s play a ga, starting now, for every 1000 extra monthly tickets, I’ll release 3 bonus chapters!”
This godly novel had always been under the watchful eyes of many authors, so when he posted the announcent, the whole author community knew about it. They wondered: Does this guy not need to think when he writes novels?! How can he make such a rule?!
For them, just managing daily updates was an achievent, let alone tis where they might spend several days stuck on plot developnt without updates. Consistent updates have always been the biggest complaint from readers.
Who would dare to offer bonus updates under these circumstances?
But Ren He dared!
Instantly, comnts from readers appeared in the book review section: “Kid is trying to make waves, huh? I checked, and he’s currently ranked 11th in the monthly ticket rankings, he’s aiming for the list!”
“Haha, making waves is good, vote for the monthly ticket, I want to see the updates!”
“I have never seen an author play such a big ga in all the ti I’ve been reading novels. Co on, give him your monthly tickets, let’s see how many more he can post!”
“1000 monthly tickets for 3 updates, should we make him finish the book early…?”
In just 1 hour, the monthly tickets for the godly novel shot up explosively, reaching 3140 monthly tickets, and it entered the 10th place!
“Kid, where’s the update?!”
“Here it cos!” Ren He replied with a smile in the comnts. He published all 9 chapters of his backlog in one go, and he still had 17 chapters saved up from the last month; the rising monthly tickets were not scaring him.
However, after publishing those 9 chapters right at the prelude to a major climax, he really made the readers suffer: “This cliffhanger, I want to send him blades in the mail…”
“This… who has a monthly ticket, hurry up and give it to him, let him update!”
“I’m out of monthly tickets… Let’s just send gifts!”
“Damn it, send gifts!”
A gift of 100 yuan cos with an automatic monthly ticket, these people ran out of monthly tickets and could only support him through gifts, and this made Ren He overjoyed.
In the author community, no one had the heart to write that afternoon. They were all glued to the monthly ticket rankings, with the authors in the top ten feeling a sudden tightness, and the one who had just dropped to 11th was seething with anger. He too wanted to create a surging wave like Ren He, but he was stuck on a plotline and couldn’t do anything!
“How many updates do you think he can really make?”
“Is it from saved drafts?”
“He usually posts at least 3 chapters every day. If he has that many saved drafts, that’s terrifying…”
“His typing speed is like a mudslide in the literary world!”
“Shit, I’ve dropped to 10th place, he moved up!”
Everyone looked and thought, dammit, in just one afternoon, he burst through the defenses of two greats, and this is a newbie author?!
That afternoon, Ren He had posted all his saved drafts, the remaining 17 chapters were gone, and the chapter he typed out was gone as well.
He suddenly had an ominous premonition…
Just then, a comnt from the legendary rich reader Drunkard appeared in the review section: “Got drunk last night and just woke up, then saw this interesting ga, I’ve finished reading the updates, co on Kid, show us more… Gift sent, the red packet is on its way.”
Ren He hurriedly checked the backend – goddamn, Drunkard had actually gifted 100,000 yuan!
Although in his previous life so works of the supre gods would get gifts of millions from major patrons like Er Gen and I Speak Without Thought, and his gifts were still far from a million, such a massive gift was a first for him.
When he looked at the red packet area again, Drunkard had sent out 3000 monthly ticket red packets in one go, aning that Ren He had to update at least 12 more chapters.
This, dammit, it’s run away with !
Before playing the ga, Ren He thought that even if there were many monthly tickets, at worst, it would just use up his saved drafts. But it was his lack of success in his previous life that limited his horizons, he had not expected so many monthly tickets!
“Cough cough, I’ve run out of saved drafts, but I will finish all the owed chapters!” Ren He had no choice but to post this in the book comnts and then work overti to keep writing.
The other authors freaked out when they saw his comnt: He’s just used up his saved drafts?
Then, until midnight, the godly novel would update a new chapter every 40 minutes, and there was a mont of silence in the author group before soone couldn’t help themselves: “What the hell is this writing speed?!”
By the evening, counting the 12 chapters from Drunkard, Ren He owed a total of 21 chapters… and he’d only repaid 9, leaving 12 still owed! It felt like he might not finish…
He had no choice but to shalessly announce: Cough cough, the ga ends after midnight tonight…
The readers laughed: “Is Kid backing down?”
“Kid’s not backing down, face it head on, enjoying the read here!”
“It’s not midnight yet, shall we go for another round?!”
“Hahaha, let’s roll!”
Ren He watched helplessly as he imdiately owed another 9 chapters…
That day, he was genuinely in pain yet enjoying it…
