Hello, readers.
After much contemplation, even after I changed the status of this work from "serialized" to "paused", I feel that an explanation is necessary nonetheless.
First off, back when I wrote this piece, a new MGS system had just been implemented by Webnovel, forcing authors to earn 60$ from the book before they become eligible to earn the 200$ bonus.
Judging from the collection number at that time, after writing 44 chapters for free, I became aware that I would never break 60$ with this book no matter what.
Therefore, dear readers, please understand my reluctance to continue this novel. Especially one with an intricate plot such as this one and many of my other works.
Besides, I haven't locked any chapter so all of you got to read for free so far. I trust that I have not caused you any loss so far, hehe.
As for my other works with locked chapters, except for my very first work, I strive to bring them to the end however unpopular they are.
So rest assured, it is not that I have the habit of discontinuing novels in the middle. I just need to pay attention to the profitability in order to continue. This is particularly important now that the job market is crumbling and I have no other income but writing.
If ever I get a job again -- sigh -- I will do my best to finish this novel.
Thank you for reading.
Yours sincerely, your author.
