Borrowing a sword

Chapter 65 Author's Note and Launch Event

Before I knew it, another book was about to hit the shelves.

It's strange, even after writing books for so many years, I still feel both excited and nervous every time a book is released.

This book is currently doing very well, extremely well.

The readership data is the highest among all new books on Qidian in recent months, and it is also the best performing book I have ever had during its new release period.

Currently, it seems that the overall traffic during the new book season has declined. In the past few months, many authors have said that the performance during the new book season has been unsatisfactory, and the traffic seems to have been halved compared to three months ago.

In this version environment, our book has a chance to break the record for the highest first-day subscription for a new book on Qidian this year! We aim for second place, and strive for first!

Currently, it's only a few thousand short of 200,000 favorites, and it even broke into the top 20 on the monthly ticket chart during the new book season. It's also been number one on the new book chart for half a month, a truly remarkable achievement.

If only he had released the new book sooner, he might not have been a runner-up in the platinum rankings for two consecutive years.

So, tomorrow, August 1st, in the early morning, I hope everyone can support the first pre-order and let's see how high it can go.

If all goes well, I'll update with 16,000 words tomorrow, which is five chapters.

I'll post four chapters at once in the early morning, and then post another one after I wake up.

Longtime readers should know that I write very slowly, so the title of "short, short, and childish" has always followed me. I hope to maintain this momentum this month, write steadily and consistently, and update more than 10,000 words at a time, striving to become the "scumbag" of the author circle.

In addition, due to the excellent performance of "Borrowing Swords," we have already secured an S+ level launch event. After the initial pre-order, players can participate in a lucky draw on the event page. You can also participate by casting your monthly vote. Anyone who pre-orders will receive an exclusive "Borrowing Swords" avatar charm, which includes a sword!

In addition, there are also [titles] that can be drawn.

Initially, I wasn't very satisfied with the event title that Qidian (the website's developer) designed for us, so at my suggestion, I changed it to something more interesting: "[Internal Test Player]".

Once you receive the title, it will be displayed next to your nickname. I personally think it's quite interesting that it shows you're a beta tester.

The odds of getting the title should be very high; they told me there are 20,000 to draw. Wow, 20,000 beta testers!

This should be the first time Qidian has held a title event for a newly released book. The fact that this event is so prestigious is entirely due to the support of our readers.

As for our [Beauty Giveaway Event], it will definitely still happen, since I've gotten all the money from my wife. Same rules as before, casting a monthly vote counts as participation in the giveaway, and I'll give everyone 50 Vouchers to show you my wife's skills!
The detailed lottery rules will be released in a separate chapter after they are updated.

In other words, this event combines the starting point activity and the beauty pageant! Lots of perks await!
Here, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my editor-in-chief, Green Bean, my editor-in-chief, Good Luck, the Qidian staff who have been helping with the activities during the new book period, and my operations team.

Finally, please vote with monthly tickets! Please subscribe to the first issue of the subscription!
Aiming for a top ten spot on the monthly ticket charts, and ultimately, the number one spot on the first-day subscription charts of the year! See you all at midnight!

—I'm asking you all to lend me your swords!
