Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 53 - : Listing sentiments

Chapter 53: Listing sentiments

I feel like chatting.

First, let me introduce myself: a chronic procrastinator and a severe sufferer of laziness.

The initial reason I started writing this story was my recent fondness for Beast Taming narratives and then wanting to find a female-centric Beast Taming story to read. Sadly, there were too few, and their backgrounds were mostly quite old-fashioned, so I decided to just write one myself.

I’ve followed Pokémon from the Kanto Region to the Kalos Region, so writing an overview of Beast Taming should be no problem for me…

Although I knew the female readership was small and not many would read it, I still chose to write with a female protagonist and publish in the female-oriented category.

After all, I am a girl…

As a newbie, I posted the first two chapters with zero backlog, purely on a whim, and then after writing over ten thousand words, I got signed. At the time, I was thrilled…

Later, I realized that being signed or not didn’t make much of a difference as not many people were reading it. Since it was in the female-oriented category, I had braced myself for this, so I decided to let loose and update every other day…

So, I kept on with this lax schedule for half a month before I got a chance to be featured. The editor only asked me not to stop updating during the feature period, and since it was my first time being promoted, of course, I agreed.

Even though I didn’t understand why my first serialization during the promotional period would appear on QQ Reading…

But my first monthly ticket and my first lengthy review came from readers on QQ Reading. I was so excited that I impulsively promised not to stop updating or abandon the story…

Lately, though, I’ve been thinking that, being as lazy as I am, an occasional hiatus might still happen…

Being prone to laziness, I don’t have a backlog. I always drag my feet and only start writing late, and then I’d play with my phone for a while, write a bit, and then eat some snacks…

Later, after surviving the recommendation PK, I couldn’t take a break due to the next round of promotion.

But by then, I had readers who would comment and reward me with votes, which motivated me a bit more, so during that period I often managed to update by 6 pm.

Actually, I’ve thought about taking a day off many times…

Because the most comfortable pace for me is an update every two days…

But because people voted for me and commented every day, I persevered.

In the beginning, I would excitedly respond to every comment, but not anymore; I’m afraid of being urged to update faster…

Although the number of readers is not much compared to others in the female category, for me, moving from no interactive readers to having daily feedback is already quite an achievement.

About going premium, the editor talked to me the other day, said it’s going to be May 23rd…

I feel it’s too soon. I have no backlog, and going premium typically means rapid updating…

I procrastinated until the 22nd and still haven’t started saving up chapters.

But there’s no need to panic. I’ve decided to drink coffee tonight and code more words to update a bit more tomorrow…

Moreover…

New authors going premium tend to write two chapters a day mostly because there’s a full attendance prize.

This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

But because I had five days of no updates between signing and going premium—those days before the promotion when I updated every other day—I won’t be eligible for that full attendance prize even if I update two chapters daily after going premium.

I found out about that later…

I’m a bit sad but also somewhat relieved—it feels like I found an excuse not to update twice daily…

I know the number of readers will dramatically decrease after going premium, but that’s okay. I won’t abandon the story!

If the performance is good, I will try hard to save up some chapters for a mass release.

If it’s not, I will still update consistently; it’ll be less frequent, but that’s the sentiment of a lazy person!

I really want to list and thank the readers who’ve been consistently supporting me every day, but it seems inappropriate to put in the speech for going premium. I’ll take the time to properly thank everyone next time…

Let me answer a question that many of you might be concerned about: whether there’s going to be a male lead in the story.

Personally, when I read romance, I like stories of intense, painful love…

If I wrote that, I’m afraid I couldn’t resist creating a melodramatic tale of tortured love, which doesn’t fit the tone of this book, so I probably won’t introduce a male lead.

Lastly, please support me with your first subscription, especially since the chapter for the 23rd is something I worked on fueled by coffee…

Well, that’s about it.

Speech for going premium, done perfectly…
