The annual convention starts tomorrow, and I haven't managed to stockpile a single chapter over the past seven or eight days. There's a lot that needs to be set up and written in this arc, so everything has to be planned carefully. And for me personally, the daily-life and transitional chapters are the hardest to write — I need to capture the warmth, the sense of accomplishment, make it feel engaging rather than a bland log of events. So doing two updates a day is actually more tiring than last month.
Anyway, that's my problem, not yours — just rambling a bit. It won't affect the update schedule. To keep the pressure on myself, I'll stick to two chapters a day during the convention! The timing might be a bit erratic, though. If I fall behind, I'll make up for it — miss one chapter, pay back two, and so on. Please support me with your monthly tickets!
Also, the Qidian Annual Work Awards have started — you can see it on the homepage and in Arcane's synopsis. I'd love to win the annual work vote, because the prize includes an Arcane illustration collection. For me, that's even better than a cash reward. I really want to see what Lucian looks like, so I'm asking everyone to cast your annual work votes. The competition is tough, but we have to try — we can't just give up beforehand.
Oh right, everyone gets free annual work votes. I'm only asking for those free ones! Arcane's average subscriptions just passed ten thousand today, so I'd love to ask everyone for three free votes!
And recommendation tickets too, of course — haha.
