I'm sorry to everyone who regularly supports the story with Power Stones, but I've reached a point where I need to make a change.
This story currently has 1,200+ readers, yet we're still struggling to reach 50 Power Stones. I'm releasing the equivalent of 3 standard WebNovel chapters every week, and honestly, I'm tired of repeatedly asking for Power Stones.
I also recently made a poll asking whether I should keep the current longer chapters or divide them into 3 shorter standard-length chapters. Splitting them would actually be more beneficial for me, but I listened to what the readers preferred and kept the longer chapters.
So I think it's only fair that you also consider what you're receiving. You're getting the equivalent of 3 standard chapters every week, and with my current upload schedule, even if every regular reader simply gave one Power Stone per chapter, we could easily be well over 500 stones. Instead, we're barely getting past 50, and I have to keep asking for them every week.
A few months ago, someone told me that they wouldn't read a story where getting a new chapter depended on the author receiving enough Power Stones. I completely understand that everyone has their own preferences, and I'm not saying they were wrong for feeling that way. But I'd also ask you to see things from my side. Writing these chapters takes a lot of time and effort, and I'm already giving the equivalent of three standard chapters every week.
So from this week onward, the fic will require a minimum of 100 Power Stones by Thursday for the next chapter to be released. If we reach 100 before Thursday, the chapter will be released as scheduled. If we don't reach 100 by Thursday, the next chapter will not be released that week, even if we reach 100 afterward.
I know some readers may not like this decision, and I'm sorry to the people who regularly support the story because this affects you as well. But I genuinely feel that this is necessary now. I've been very very generous with the releases, and I need some support in return if I'm going to maintain this schedule.
And to everyone who does regularly spend their Power Stones: thank you. I genuinely appreciate every single one. ❤️
