2013 has come to an end, and 2014 has begun — another new chapter of life's journey. I want to thank all of you; without you, my 2013 wouldn't have been so unforgettable. As for Arcane's achievements, I don't think I need to repeat them — this month we're still in the top ten of the monthly ticket rankings, and once again broke seven thousand monthly tickets.
Arcane has entered its later stages, and writing it has been tough, because each arc is a major plotline. I want to write them well and give everyone an enjoyable reading experience. I hope you'll continue accompanying me as we walk through 2014 together, making it brilliant and fragrant.
Also, I have good news for everyone — after some effort, Arcane now has a set of character bookmarks: Lucian, Natasha, Rhein, Felipe, and John, five in total. They'll be released at the Jiong Jiong You Shen Fan Exhibition held at the Beijing National Convention Center on January 5th. Due to the rushed timeline, some details might still need refinement, but I really love the art style and clothing designs, and I hope you will too. For more details, you can follow my Sina Weibo: "The Squid Who Loves Diving" (official account).
So, I'm earnestly asking everyone to please vote for the annual character "Lucian Evans" — if we can clinch first place, there may be more merchandise in the future, with more refined depictions of Lucian, Rhein, Natasha, the Master, and others.
I'll also keep my promise: three updates a day for all seven days of the New Year holiday. So please, support this hardworking squid with at least your monthly tickets!
Let's start 2014 on a great note!
Finally, happy New Year's Day, everyone, and happy 2014! If you'd like to hear the squid's voice greeting, you can add my WeChat public account: wuzei1985, or simply search: "The Squid Who Loves Diving!"
