you should stop putting fillers like "i would need x number of words to publish". this is the 4th or 5th time I am reading this in a chapter. if people pay an exorbitant amount to unlock per chapter, every word better be worth it. if you are not aware, buying a published book from a known publisher is smarter than unlocking chapters from an unknown author here on webnovel. I am telling you this so that you work hard and not discourage people from reading your work. it comes across as lazy. do not publish if you do not meet the word count .ps. your book is good so don't put in fillers as it comes across as lazy
