It was finally going to be published!
This afternoon, which was 5 pm on April 30th, the last chapter of the public section would be updated. It was okay to spoil the title in advance!
[Chapter 56: The Great Elven King!]
After that, the book would officially enter the publishing phase.
I knew that for many readers, publishing meant a fee. Ninety percent of readers would choose to read pirated versions of most books.
I knew that this was the situation — at least the current situation.
However, for the author, after updating the book for free for nearly two months and going through 300,000 words in the public section, publishing meant that all the hard work before and after could finally be exchanged for some meager income.
Coconut was a person who loved to tell stories. However, everyone knew that it was not good to tell a story on an empty stomach. For me, the quick ending of the headshot was a simple example. I did not want something similar to happen again. So, I implore everyone to support "Night Ranger" as much as possible.
After 24 pm tonight, after the VIP system is activated, I will immediately update two chapters. After that, on May 1st, there will be a total of ten chapters!
Coconut was a man of his word.
I did not know what the concept of ten chapters was to other authors. However, for me, ten chapters was actually very stressful. The main reason was that I could not fill it up and let the quality not drop. For this "Night Ranger", Coconut wrote very slowly, very slowly. The reason was simple. The plot was very tight, and it was easy to overdraft the thinking and plot. I believe everyone noticed this when reading it. Perhaps this was the reason why the book was doing so well so far.
To be honest, there was a period of time when I drank coffee and tea during the day to refresh myself and write. At night, I could not sleep at all and had to take Valium to barely fall asleep.
For this book, Coconut really gave it his all.

Let's talk about subscriptions. How much does it cost to subscribe?
If the author was diligent in updating a book for a month, it would at most be five or six yuan. This amount of money was really nothing today. Many readers were just too lazy to do it. However, your simple support was crucial to Coconut's writing.
Western fantasy books had always been niche and not many people read them. If most people read pirated versions, the author would have a hard time. That was why there weren't many western fantasy works on Qidian, especially outstanding ones. Authors had to make a living after all.
Let's take a look at what a girl in the group had posted in the book review section:
"We will be officially launching on the first of May. As one of Brother Coconut's front-row fans, I think I should do something for him after the launch. Every word in a novel written by a hardworking author is precious, but some people always think that reading a book requires money? Isn't that stupid? In fact, the author only relied on a small amount of subscriptions to obtain returns, and the effort was always greater than the reward. If one day, no one subscribed to him and supported him, he would not have the motivation to continue writing. Everyone needed to eat … How could he continue writing if he starved to death without money to buy food? The reason why many good novels became unfinished was mostly because of piracy. Cherish good books and stay away from piracy … 24 cents a day could ensure that your love of books would end healthily. Why not? I believe most readers are willing to support the original version. "
"Because of this, I'm willing to give away at least 20 chapters a day for free starting from the 1st of May. This will last for a month as a gift to everyone. If any of your friends are still in the Tieba forum, please invite them to join us ~ We come from all over the world, but to fall in love with the same book is a kind of fate. Hurry up and join the group … report to me.
Thank you stupid girl for your support. She would give out free chapters except for the first chapter on the first day. If you are really short of money, please receive it.
As for the first subscription, which was the first VIP chapter, Coconut sincerely begged everyone!
Those who were familiar with Qidian knew that a 24-hour subscription was very important. Subscriptions for one chapter cost a little more than 10 cents at most. If you really like Night Ranger, is it really that difficult to top up 5 yuan for a subscription?
Whether you are reading on Qidian or UC or other pirated websites, after seeing this single chapter, please come to Qidian on May 1st to subscribe for the first chapter!
If you are a mobile user, you can download Qidian's reading app to read and catch up on books!
…
Let's talk about the monthly tickets.
Here, Coconut would like to reserve the minimum tickets in Wuyue!
We must fight for the new book monthly ticket ranking!
Double tickets on May 1st, one ticket is worth two tickets. If you have a monthly ticket, please vote for Night Ranger during May 1st!
Thank you.
…
Let's talk about the book.
Night Ranger is a book that I have wanted to write for a long time. I used a sockpuppet to write a similar book, but the style was a bit different and the pace was much slower. Naturally, it was a flop.
There are many details in this book, but they are actually a homage to the Western fantasy books that I used to love.
I don't know what you can see? Haha.
Fernand's setting is very large, but years of writing experience tell me that the larger the structure, the better to write from a small point, or else it will easily collapse. Readers who are looking forward to a wider world don't have to worry. As Ma Wen continues to grow, the whole world will also be revealed bit by bit.
Perhaps this was where the fun of chasing after books lay.
…
Finally, some other things.
Some readers reported that Qidian's bookstore would occasionally have problems. Well, this is normal, after all, Qidian's bookstore is so large. If there is a loading problem, please delete the cache and reload it. Usually it is a network problem; if it still doesn't work, just directly uninstall the software and reinstall it.
In addition, White River Valley continues to recruit: 204,471,818
The newly opened Three-Ring Tower also welcomes everyone: 428,439,234
Those who like lively can enter White River Valley, and those who are quieter can enter Three-Ring Tower.
Compared to other authors, Coconut is relatively active. If you have any questions, it is also more convenient to ask in the group, and I will usually answer when I have time.
…
Don't leave after the speech. The chapter at 5 PM will be updated on time.
Everyone, please wait and see. Coconut will use the best story to move everyone, and I hope everyone will use the best support to push Night Ranger to the peak!
