Eternal Life: I Have the Favor System-Chapter 117: Thoughts on Going Premium

There’s so much I want to say to everyone, but I don’t know where to start.

I have been a full-time author for many years.

But I have never been as serious about a book as I am with this one.

For years, I’ve always wanted to write a story full of heart and honor.

But in today’s online literary scene, a story like that isn’t always what people want to read.

To many, being loyal and honorable, and repaying kindness, are just the actions of a fool.

So, to win you all over, I made the art of navigating social Favors the golden finger, allowing the characters in the book to have their own sense of loyalty and principle.

This allows their risky attempts at repaying kindness to become logical and justifiable with the help of the golden finger.

This book’s story is driven by its characters; the golden finger is just a supporting tool. However, the title and summary heavily emphasize the golden finger’s role, which has led to a very poor conversion rate.

Everyone comes in wanting to see the protagonist farm Favor Points.

Then they take one look and see the protagonist is freaking cowardly and dumb.

Many people say the book has a lot of turn-offs. For example, Chu Lingguang has a golden finger but doesn’t use it, focusing only on training hard. In fact, the book has already made it clear and established a rule: to use Favors effectively, one must have a certain amount of strength and status.

Without sufficient strength, others will simply dismiss your small acts of kindness.

This is a common failing of human nature.

Both Chu Lingguang and I, Feifei, know this from experience.

If you don’t believe it, just think about a time you treated someone with genuine kindness and helped them, only for them to forget in an instant or even turn on you for your troubles.

Favors are based on strength.

Not everyone is like Mrs. Chu of the Zhang Family, Butcher Hu, or Chu Lingguang—people who know how to repay kindness.

Some people say, "If helping one person doesn’t work, then help two. If you help enough people, the Favor Points you get back will surely be more effective than just training hard by yourself." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

It might sound reasonable, but a setup like that would strip the book of its narrative drive, and everything Chu Lingguang gains would lose its inherent value.

Society is too fickle and restless.

Everyone wants to get something for nothing, myself included.

But the characters in my story shouldn’t be like that. Chu Lingguang is like a ray of light within my own heart, a testament to the belief that hard work will always be rewarded.

And I believe the same is true for this book.

As long as I pour my heart into writing, meticulously polishing every detail, and—like Chu Lingguang—never forget why I started, I’m certain I can write a story that will satisfy all of you.

Right now, the book’s numbers aren’t ideal.

But I, Feifei, also possess Chu Lingguang’s Heart Guarding Skill. I haven’t stopped updating or just given up because of the book’s poor early performance.

On the contrary, I’m building up my strength, ready to go on the offensive once the novel becomes a paid title!

The public Chapters of this book have now reached 250,000 characters, and it will become a paid title tomorrow at 12:00 PM.

There will definitely be a Chapter explosion for the launch.

Each Chapter will be a minimum of four thousand characters.

If I reach 500 first-day subscribers, I’ll release a baseline of three Chapters—an update of twelve thousand characters.

For every additional hundred subscribers, I’ll release one more Chapter.

No matter what, I will continue to write this book with dedication, pouring my heart and soul into it, creating a deep connection between myself and the story.

I’m begging all of you to subscribe.

If you can, please help me climb the rankings to get more exposure!

For the first month after the paid launch, I will maintain a daily update schedule of ten thousand characters. I hope you’ll all look forward to it.
