Lately, all of Ashtray’s single Chapters are notifications of embarrassingly few updates, without shamelessly asking for monthly votes, and I always feel like something is missing in life—passion! That’s right, lacking passion! So I should muster the courage to ask for monthly votes.

Two things: First, our Yuewen Group has started establishing its own benchmark for original works ranking. Previously, the benchmark was Baidu’s Novel Trend Ranking, where a book’s popularity among PC users, meaning computer users, was determined by that list. Moreover, Baidu’s Trend Ranking does not have a separate category for game novels; to get on the list, you have to directly break into the overall ranking. In the past two years, this book "God-level Hero" has often fluctuated up and down within the top 50, and it can be considered to have entered the ranks of the strong.

However, this doesn’t matter much, as most people are reading pirated versions. Measuring a book’s popularity by its pirated versions is an incredibly frustrating thing. So now, our Yuewen Group’s ranking has established a more reasonable selection criteria, among which monthly votes are a very important factor. So dear readers, if you love "God-level Hero," vote hard for it.

The second thing is that the editor notified me the other day that the group’s higher-ups are considering making my novel into a game and asked me to provide a draft. Of course, it’s just a consideration and not a formal decision yet, but isn’t this like having already half-formed the character for "eight"? Although the other half is very unlikely, at least it shows that the group has initially affirmed the commercial value of this book. You should know that online gaming novels often cannot be made into games due to issues with insufficiently rigorous settings or plots.

In fact, online game novels have already been depreciated so much that they are worthless, aside from scraping some subscription revenue, they have no IP (copyright) value. This is also why many great online game authors are transitioning to fantasy.

Readers, classmates, comrades, have you ever imagined how fun it would be if "God-level Hero" were made into a game? Ashtray is hugely excited! When Ashtray was writing this book, it was actually constructing an online gaming dream, and there’s already a model of this game in Ashtray’s mind—definitely leisurely, definitely low-budget, definitely easy to pick up, definitely within China’s current game production capability!

From its birth, God-level Hero carries the genes of "Heroic Might," a game once popular worldwide. Though Heroic Might fell before piracy, its classics are immortal! Its high gameplay hasn’t been annihilated by the 15 years of passage!

—Alright, Ashtray got excited, thought too much. The other half of "eight" is very unlikely, Ashtray isn’t a great master, popularity isn’t enough for the group to make such an important decision.

However, there is still a bit of hope, like clutching a newly bought lottery ticket today and having infinite reveries about tomorrow. What we can do is add branches and leaves to the dream, right? Come on, readers, the second thing is to vote hard for me, all kinds of votes, let Ashtray appear very popular! (To be continued.
