Available tomorrow at noon!
And now comes everyone's favourite segment—
Author rambling time.
Honestly, as a completely new writer, this book's success went way beyond anything I expected. It's so successful that it still feels slightly unreal, like I'm trapped inside some weird dream.
When I first started posting this story, neither my writing group nor my editor thought it would do well. Harry Potter fanfiction had already lost most of its popularity on Qidian ages ago. There were too many similar books, too much repetition, and I had absolutely zero experience writing this sort of thing.
I was unbelievably nervous while writing the early chapters.
But then more people started reading.
And then even more.
Gradually, my confidence grew. My back stopped hurting, my legs stopped shaking, and I could finally speak with confidence again.
So genuinely—
Thank you all.
Because of this book's success, I can finally ignore certain cruel material realities for a while and focus properly on writing. Therefore, on release day, there will officially be FIVE updates with at least 10,000 words total.
Yes.
This time it's really five updates.
After that, the normal schedule will become three updates daily, around 6,000 words total.
Please support the first-day release!
Hopefully the first subscription count can break 3,000...
(Extremely unrealistic wishful thinking noises.)

And now—
Book club Q&A time.
Q1: Will this book stay completely romance-free forever? No main heroine? No relationships?
A: Correct. Unless you count pets as "relationships" despite there being absolutely nothing romantic involved, Cohen's story will not include romance.
———
Q2: Can you upload twenty chapters in one day after release?
A: The Ministry of Magic would immediately arrest me for illegal Time-Turner usage.
Wait.
Someone's knocking at my door claiming they need to inspect the water meter.
———
Q3: Will Cohen fall in love with the mother Dementor? Will there be Dementor romance?
A: First of all, Dementors probably don't even have genders.
Secondly, humans absolutely cannot—or at least should not—
Brother.
You belong inside the Azkaban branch group chat.
You need redemption more than any Dark wizard alive.
(But if you really want to read it...)

Q4 (Recovered from a mysteriously deleted comment):
"I couldn't even finish one chapter. This is pure self-indulgence. Please stop writing. It's garbage."
A: If I stop writing, I starve.
Food comes first.

And now—
Your choices may possibly affect future story developments.
(Maybe.)
Contestant Number One:
"Screw the Ministry of Magic! I want to watch Cohen massacre the bureaucracy! Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill—"
Contestant Number Two:
"I want to watch Dementors hold hands affectionately... wow, that sounds beautiful..."
Contestant Number Three:
"Hypothetically speaking... if we use magical magnetic fields to block magical magnetic fields, could Cohen study modern technology at Hogwarts?"
Contestant Number Four:
"Hogwarts toilets are still way too primitive. The wizarding world desperately needs magical smart toilets. Imagine it—a talking toilet!"
Contestant Number Five:
"I simply want to watch Cohen build his Dementor Empire."
Contestant Number Six:
"I want to watch Cohen breed magical creatures."
(Contestant Number Six has been shot.)
Contestant Number Seven:
"Seven is a deeply magical number, therefore this advertising space is available for rent."

Finally—
Sacrifice offerings for release day! Let me absorb everyone's luck!
First up:
Qinghe Giant.
Originally, this legend was supposed to hit Sanjiang alongside me, but because of my stupid early-release mistake, he missed the opportunity.
"Cultivation Makes You Ascend!"Author: Ren Qinghe.
"They say that after mastering the art of speaking before acting, every powerful figure in the world suddenly claims to be an orphan."
"Why?"
"I will explain your dreams," said the Confucian immortal Qin Xi.

Next up—
My beloved Earl Giant's newest masterpiece!
"What's Wrong With Detective Conan's Style: My Yan Shuangying?"Author: Style Is Supreme.
"Anyone committing crimes in Beika Town will eventually see their own brains splattered across the pavement..."
"I bet one dollar your gun's empty."
————
Then we have Big Fighting Cat, who has helped me countless times!
"Is Winning a Religion in Another World Supposed to Be This Easy?"Author: Big Fighting Cat.
Without question, this is peak western fantasy farming fiction.
A bizarrely eccentric elf.
A top-tier paladin secretly working undercover.
A swordswoman disgraced and abandoned with only a crystal remaining.
A saint mistaken for a demon.
Truly one of the most chaotic farming stories imaginable.
————
And finally—
Nanyuan Ju's ultimate masterpiece!
"You're Telling Me This Is a Horror World After I Mastered Thunder Magic?"Author: Nanyuan Nanyuan.
A million-word xianxia masterpiece.
Just enjoy the ride.

And now for a rapid-fire wave of recommendations from writer friends.
Don't ask why there are so many sacrifices.
Because I am a cyber succubus.
"Who Let Him Join the Sword Sect?"
"Are You Completely Illiterate?"
"Versatile Mage: Summoning the Nine-Tailed Fox at the Start!"
"The Immortal Heroes of the Golden Age!"
"My Top-Tier Persona Collapsed—Why Did It Become Popular Worldwide?"
"The Heroic Spirits Refused to Ship Together, So I Did It Myself."
"Hogwarts and the Evil Djinn Spirit."
"Who Says Blue Fist Can't Be a Priest?"
"I Dropped Out of Hogwarts and Started Giving Speeches in Taverns."
"Hogwarts: I, Quirrell, Truly Never Wanted to Become the Dark Lord."
This industry survives entirely on hard work and connections.
That's the true social king path of web novel authors.
Alright.
