My laptop was repaired five days ago; the technician replaced the battery, and I purchased a new charger. He advised me not to use my laptop while charging, as it could damage the battery. Previously, the laptop lasted only three hours on a charge, and it needed two hours to recharge fully. Within that three-hour span, I can write one chapter including ChatGPT's grammar revision. Although I could write up to three chapters before, these days I'm managing only two to three chapters daily.
Consequently, I've had to reduce my output from 14-15 chapters to 11-12 chapters per week to maintain a comfortable pace. For updates, I've added a twist: I will provide one chapter daily, and if readers want more, they can unlock additional chapters using Power Stones as follows:
100 Power Stones - 1 extra chapter
150 Power Stones - another chapter
200 Power Stones - another chapter
250 Power Stones - another chapter
300 Power Stones - another chapter
Cumulatively, this makes the 11-12 chapters I aim to write. I did my research, I believe you, the readers, can meet these requirements. This strategy is designed to keep the book's popularity stable and reduce my mental pressure. It's a case of 'killing two birds with one stone.' It's beneficial for me.
I've also set a seemingly unattainable 'shoot-for-the-moon' challenge:
500 Power Stones for 1 additional chapters
750 Power Stones for 1 additional chapter
If you really reach these milestones, I'm willing to take on the pressure of returning to a 15-chapter-per-week schedule, despite the greater pressure placed on me.
And that's the gist of it.

As for what I did over the past week, I watched a complete summary of Ash's adventures across every region. With two hours dedicated to each of the eight regions, the total viewing time exceeded 16 hours.
I also devoted more than twelve hours to the gameplay of "Legends: Arceus," which was recommended by a patron. I often paused and rewind to thoroughly read each script, which likely extended the time to 13-14 hours.
Besides that, I watched all the Pokémon movies and some episodes related to the games but not featuring Ash. In my opinion, the games seem cooler than Ash's storyline.
