Author's Note on Official Publication

Page 1/3
I would like to thank my editor, Wu Xing, for allowing me to sign the contract after I submitted the first 6,000 words, fulfilling a small wish of mine.
Thank you all for your support and encouragement over the past 70 days.
For those who have sent tips, please join the reader group and message me privately with a screenshot of your Qidian ID as a note; I will refund your money in two weeks.

The new book period lasted 69 days.
280,000 words in total.
I received a trial promotion at the 240,000-word mark.
I barely managed to get three consecutive recommendations.
Yet, as of this moment, there are only 1,800 followers.
There are 41 comments in the reader circle, many of which are friendly messages from old friends.
This is the performance of this book.
The number of followers before publication is less than one-third of my first book.
The topic selection was flawed, the design was flawed, and the writing style was flawed.

I accept this.
But the words have lost their vitality.
So, starting today, please stop voting or sending tips.
"Lifeless writing is not worthy of your support."

I have been trying my best to rediscover the original essence of the story lately.
It is a pity.
The emotional connection to this story has been severed for me.
All I can say now is that there will be a conclusion.
It might be 500,000 words, 800,000 words, or a million words; I do not know.
But there will definitely be a conclusion, so those who invested need not worry.
I actually really wanted to thank some friends individually, but the mood isn't right—let's leave that for next time.

Having said all this, there is no point in discussing the initial subscription numbers.
Between a writer and a reader, a connection ultimately relies on the lines of text.
I am not asking for subscriptions; I only implore those of you who have read this far: if this book has ever brought you a glimmer of joy, please leave a small footprint in the comment section below.
In the world of web novels, may we meet again in the next story if fate allows.
The above concludes my thoughts on the publication and completion of the book, "Please, Go Home and Practice the Piano."

Yes, in my heart, this story has already ended.
Once again, thank you all for your company over these past 70 days. I have accompanied you as far as I can with this book.
The journey ahead will be an ordeal for a web novelist seeking self-breakthrough.
If you wish to stay, I cannot offer any guarantees regarding quality beyond the promise of a conclusion.
PS: I am extremely busy with work lately. I will not be opening the group chat or the author assistant app for the next two weeks. Please forgive me if I am unable to reply to messages in a timely manner.
