Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Author's Note on Chapter 88's Launch (Important)
This book is finally going to be available on the shelves.

At this moment, the author was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

To be honest, I'm not a newbie. I've had a lot of writing experience before, but my results have always been just average.

This book is the author's best work since he started writing, and it far surpasses all his previous works.

To put it bluntly, this book was a life-changing book for the author.

The author is no longer young; he's almost middle-aged by now.

With children and elderly parents to care for, the pressure of supporting the elderly's medical care, the children's schooling, mortgage payments, and car loans, coupled with the fact that his wife stays home to care for the children and the household and cannot go out to work, all falls on the author's shoulders.

My grades have always been average, and to be honest, it's been quite difficult to support my family. I've even considered quitting writing and finding a job instead.

However, the author is a rather socially awkward person with relatively low emotional intelligence, which you, dear readers, should be able to see from the plot of the story.

Going out to find a job is problematic for two reasons: firstly, the money earned might not be as much as writing novels; secondly, the author really dislikes interacting with too many people and prefers to immerse himself in his own science fiction world and indulge in his imagination.

The author was physically and mentally exhausted by his mediocre grades and the pressure from his family.

But thankfully, a glimmer of hope appeared.

I would like to thank my editor, Lan Guang, for his guidance, which led me to this subject matter. I would also like to thank all the readers for their support, which has made this book possible.

But what appears now is merely the dawn.

No matter how good the initial data is, how many favorites there are, or how many subscriptions there are, it all comes down to one metric in the end.

subscription.

The children's tuition fees, the parents' medical expenses, the monthly mortgage and car loan payments of several thousand yuan, the tickets to take the children to the amusement park, and the occasional meal expenses for dining out—all of these fall on the subscriptions of you, our dear readers.

A subscription might cost a penny or two, which may not seem like much to you readers. But for me, an author approaching middle age, it's the foundation for making a living and supporting my family.

I sincerely request, dear readers, that in order for me to continue writing with peace of mind and to fulfill my responsibility of supporting my family without being disturbed by other matters, if you find this book satisfactory, I humbly request that you subscribe to it. Higher subscriptions mean more money in my pocket, which will give me more passion and motivation to create even better stories for you.

This is reality, and it's cruel, but the author has no choice.

For a middle-aged person who needs to support their family, any ideals and passions can only be discussed after the pressures of reality have been resolved.

I'd like to ask you, dear readers, for help here!
And, the author would like to explain the extra chapter plan after the book is published.

The first day was obviously the usual practice for going live, with ten chapters and 20,000 words.

Previously, the author promised that during the double monthly ticket period, one extra chapter would be added for every 1000 tickets. Outside of the double monthly ticket period, one extra chapter would be added for every 500 tickets.

Last month, the author owed readers a total of 12 chapters. Since October 10.1st, monthly votes have exceeded 2000, bringing the total to 14 chapters.

Originally, the author planned to set the minimum daily update to two chapters of 4000 words after the book was published, and then the ten chapters on the first day of publication, excluding the minimum two chapters, would all be counted as monthly ticket updates, which would reduce the pressure.

But then the author thought again, isn't this just playing tricks on you readers?

Trying to outsmart your readers is tantamount to trying to outsmart your career, your work, and the money you earn to support your family.
Things can't be done this way.

Therefore, the author has decided that the 10 chapters on the first day of release tomorrow will not be counted as bonus chapters.

After midnight tonight, around 12:00.01 tomorrow morning, all 10 chapters will be released at once.

The 14 chapters I owe you, dear readers, are still 14 chapters.

At the same time, the guaranteed daily update is no longer 2 chapters of 4000 words, but 3 chapters of 6000 words.

I will gradually make up for the missed chapters by adding extra chapters on top of the guaranteed 3 chapters per day.

I only hope that you, my dear readers, can see the author's efforts and sincerity, and understand the plight of a middle-aged person who needs to support a family, and contribute your subscriptions!
Meanwhile, the bonus chapters for monthly votes will continue after the book goes on sale. During non-double vote periods, there will still be an extra chapter for every 500 votes, and during double vote periods, there will be an extra chapter for every 1000 votes!
The author will definitely try to update more frequently and finish the story as soon as possible!
The creation of the story is up to the author, and the support of the author is entrusted to you, dear readers!
May it rain at midnight!
