Well, well, well. Look at us. I've been pouring my soul (and all my free time) into this literary masterpiece—a book I genuinely believe is better than half the stuff currently trending—and what do I get in return? A view count that suggests I'm writing for a small, exclusive club of highly discerning digital ghosts. And don't even get me started on the lack of Collections. Apparently, this story is not even worthy of being archived next to your crusty fanfiction from 2012. Fantastic.
Honestly, it stings. It's like baking a perfect cake and having one person politely nibble a crumb while the rest of the party stares longingly at a bowl of slightly-too-salty peanuts.
So, let's get down to business. I'm hitting the pause button on new chapters right here. Call it a view-induced writing strike. The next installment of this fantastic journey will arrive when this book hits 3,000 views. No more. No less. Consider it your collective quest.
In the meantime, don't despair! For those of you honest, loyal viewers who want to read without delay, you can find the regularly updated version of the book on Wattpad by searching for the same title. Go on. Get your fix.
A final, firm decree: Please stop trying to advertise your own book in the comments. I'm busy having a mild creative breakdown over my low visibility; I don't have the emotional capacity to read about your heroic dragon-riding orphan right now.
And for the love of all that is narratively compelling, share this book! I'm not asking for charity; I'm asking you to prevent a great story from prematurely expiring in the digital void. Increase its visibility. Save me from the dark reality of writing for my own mother's five different alt accounts.
Let's hit 3k. The story—and my fragile ego—is depending on you.
