Dear readers, you may have noticed that today's update had a final chapter of just over two thousand words instead of the usual three thousand. However, this isn't because Xiao San cut back on content. The truth is, Qidian has adjusted its word-count system. Spaces and punctuation marks, which used to count toward the total, are no longer included — only actual text characters count toward your subscription word count. So Xiao San's total output hasn't decreased at all. Starting tomorrow, all of Xiao San's updates will be consolidated into a single chapter, rather than being split into three separate ones.
The reason for this announcement is to let you all know that the content you're reading hasn't gotten shorter — just the number has. This is a benefit Qidian is giving to its readers. Of course, our authors' incomes will take a small hit as well, but as long as it means readers get to enjoy more content more comfortably, that little loss is nothing. And naturally, Xiao San also wants to make it clear — Xiao San's integrity hasn't gone downhill. Heh heh.
In the upcoming chapters of Soul Land, you'll see a lot of bonus chapters with word counts in the hundreds.
The middle of the month has already passed, and Soul Land is about to undergo all sorts of changes. If you have monthly vote tickets, please cast them for Xiao San!
