Having gone through an two-month public period, Windbreak’s book has come to a stage that all novels go through, that is, being put on the shelf.

Being on the shelf means charging, and charging may cause some readers to give up reading. Windbreak doesn’t know what to say other than – writing the books is for income; without income, it’s hard to keep going.

Because authors are humans, not deities. They have to take care of their own livelihood. Writing for five to six hours a day without any income leaves almost no time to carry on.

First, I would like to thank the ones responsible for editing, Cookie, and all the Deity Tycoons who have tipped me. I wouldn’t have had the ability to keep on if it hadn’t been for your assistance.

I also want to thank those who have voted regularly and urged for updates. Without your support, Windbreak wouldn’t have realized his book is that popular.

Lastly, many readers have said they would stop reading when I start charging since they have no money. To give everyone an idea, let me share some figures:

I’m not sure about the subscription on the Book City, but on the Genesis Website, a subscription is 3 gold coins per thousand words; three cents for a thousand words.

So, 10,000 words would be thirty cents, 100,000 words would be three Yuan, 1 million words would be 30 yuan, and 3 million words would be ninety yuan.

For an author to write 3 million words in VIP sections, it takes about a year of relentless typing. Over a year, 3 million words cost a reader just 90 yuan; that’s an average of 7-5 yuan a month or 0.25 yuan per day. I think even a child would be able to afford it. Yet, this is how low our author fees currently are.

The point of saying this is not to garner sympathy for how hard authors have it, but to highlight that beyond the well-established authors who get large tips, earnings are pretty low.

For most standard authors, like Windbreak, monthly earnings are low, only enough to sustain a basic living.

So I hope you all can support the genuine version. Windbreak isn’t asking for huge tips, just genuine support, which you can show by subscribing.

The writer’s job is indeed high-risk. Sitting in front of a computer every day without movement, in 2014 alone, I know of five writers who passed away unexpectedly in their prime. I don’t say this for sympathy, but to point out that being an author isn’t easy. So, I hope you all support the original versions, your subscription would be enough.

So the question arises, if I subscribe, will you provide more content updates?

Having become a paid author, Windbreak will undoubtedly provide more updates! At least five new chapters will be updated tomorrow! I also beg for monthly votes! The importance of new book monthly votes for a new book is self-evident, even though Windbreak is a newcomer, I still hope to strive for it. Whether I have hope or not, at least I know I’ve tried.

So, starting tomorrow, as long as there are 50 more votes this month, Windbreak will add an extra chapter! The current book is already collected by over 8,700, that is 9,000 readers. A third of them should have monthly votes, so throw your votes here! As long as you dare to throw, even if Windbreak has to stay up all night, I’ll definitely add more content! Actions speak louder than words!

For those without monthly votes, you can subscribe. For every additional 100 average subscriptions, Windbreak will add an extra chapter! If all 9,000 of you subscribe, Windbreak will add a hundred more chapters!

I’m going all out, asking for everyone’s support! Your monthly votes don’t cost extra money, anyone who has subscribed during the month gets them systemically. Also, for those reading on the Book City who can’t find the monthly vote option, I hope you can log onto the Genesis website and vote there!

Many thanks to all of Windbreak’s supportive readers!

A new month has begun, a new battle has also started! Monthly vote list, please support!
