Cultivation Begins From The Desert-Chapter 106: Thoughts on launching!

It’s time for release!

The book was launched on November 25, 2019, and will be officially released on January 17, 2020, after 52 days and 320,000 words of free content. Finally, the release is happening!

If we do the math, excluding the three days waiting for the signing while sending a courier, the average daily update was over six thousand words. For a new book, that’s definitely not a small amount of updates.

Some books on Starting Point get released and then officially released after just over a month, with average daily updates of eight thousand to ten thousand words. However, those books are usually written by master authors and platinum authors. The website schedules various recommendations for them before they even open the book, so their fast updates don’t affect anything.

But for most of the lower-tier authors like myself, it’s better for the new book to have two updates of four thousand words a day. This way, we can stall for time and manage to get more recommendations, making the final release results look slightly better.

So, for a release with daily updates of six thousand words over 52 days, authors like me are a rare sight among the many not-so-successful authors in the xianxia genre (authors below level 3 are generally considered not-so-successful) (laugh).

Alright, I’ve bragged enough; now let’s get down to business.

Let’s talk about the definition of this book.

The tags within the brackets in the book’s description already sufficiently explain the definition I have for this book, but after writing thus far, I’m adding two more words,

Bland!

Realistic!

If you get these two words, you naturally get it.

So, here’s some info for those who speed-read or whatever without understanding.

In the first Chapter, I mentioned that only cultivators with the Zhou family’s character group have character names. Cultivators of the same generation, regardless of origin, all refer to each other as brothers and sisters. Is this so hard to understand?

The protagonist initially called Zhou Xuan Yu "Aunt" because Zhou Xuan Yu and his father, Zhou Xuan Hao, were cultivators of the same generation, not because Zhou Xuan Yu and Zhou Xuan Hao were born to the same parents.

I really want to roll my eyes at those who question this. Did your previous generation suddenly start being the only child? Can’t you understand this simplest kinship?

In the Zhou family’s "Xuan" generation, with 18 people, almost none are real siblings, and even going back two generations, there are hardly any.

They call each other brothers and sisters because the clan demands it to make clan cultivators more united. Is this hard to grasp?

So the main character recognizing Zhou Xuan Yu as a foster mother, what’s the issue?

Their actual blood relation is separated by who knows how many generations. If we calculate using mortal blood relations, Zhou Xuan Hao would probably need to call Zhou Xuan Yu great-grandmother...

The Zhou family has existed for over two hundred years, and cultivators have been passed on for only seven generations, whereas mortals have passed on for at least sixteen or seventeen generations. Now a mortal descendant with a spiritual root in the "Yuan" generation of cultivators; how many generations do you think they’re separated from the protagonist, also in the "Yuan" generation?

Alright, my official complaints are over; lastly, let’s talk about the updates.

This book currently has 20,890 collections, and my expectation for the first subscription is 1,700. For every 100 that exceed this number, I will add one more update. Updates added due to rewards will be included from today onwards.

The principle for reward-based updates is 15,000 Starting Point Coins for one update. Why 5,000 more than others’ 10,000? Because my Chapters are three thousand words, while other authors have two thousand words.

So today’s baseline is five updates, equivalent to seven or eight updates from other authors. Whether there can be more updates, it depends on whether the readers give me a way out...

The first subscription is crucial for a book because it impacts the recommendation issues after the release. So even for those readers who love getting free reads, I beg you to give a first subscription!

You’ve read 320,000 words for free, now pulling out thirty cents for the first subscription, is it really that hard? fгeewebnovёl.com

Please, dear readers, give me a way out!
