Chapter 4: Front Page Recommendation Acknowledgment
We’ve got a front-page recommendation! I’m rubbing my hands in anticipation.
From the most niche of niche genres, a story that seemed destined to flop, we’ve somehow made it all the way to a major front-page recommendation. This journey has been so dreamlike, even romantic, that it doesn’t feel real. A thousand words are swirling in my head, my palms are sweating, and I’m too excited for words. And then, suddenly, I find myself at a loss for them.
Thank you. All I can say is thank you. It’s the simplest of words, but also the most sincere.
I am sincerely grateful to my editor, Graygray, for their constant and powerful support with recommendations. Most importantly, I want to thank every single reader who has subscribed to this book.
From the tidal wave of donations on the first day of paid access, to second place on the new book monthly-pass leaderboard, and the ever-climbing recommendation and subscription numbers... just yesterday, we officially broke thirty thousand library adds. *Confetti!*
Honestly, all of this is far, far too much. Before I started uploading this book, this level of success was simply unimaginable—I didn’t even dare to dream of it. This passionate support makes mere words feel inadequate. So, I want to take the opportunity of this front-page recommendation to formally express my gratitude.
I may not have said "thank you" out loud all this time, but I’ve always held the words close to my heart. For a niche book that started out as just a hobby to have come this far step by step... on top of the excitement and elation, I honestly feel a bit of apprehension, completely overwhelmed by all the attention. Thank you for the support that allowed Bambi to earn this front-page recommendation!
I want to thank the book’s Silver Alliance Leader, Fu Kongkong. I’m just a simple, amateur fan, whereas Uncle Fu is a true industry insider who has made real contributions to the sport of football. Thank you, Uncle Fu, for your incredible support.
Thank you to the book’s Alliance Leaders: ForKingoftheBayAreaUse, ILoveStudyingqaz, EmotionAsWind, MoonHidden140, HolyCrap01, DemonPrisonElf, TheBigGuyWhoTookCareOfMeLastNight, cheungkakui, Reader20170518133546763, and yang199174. Thank you all for your tremendous support.
And thank you to every reader who has sent a donation. Even though I can’t list all of your names, every single donation is a crucial show of affirmation and recognition, and I cherish each and every one. freёwebnovel.com
An author’s note for a front-page recommendation is supposed to be witty, humorous, and full of clever phrases. Instead, I’m just at a loss, rambling incoherently. My mind is overflowing with things to say, but I can’t find the right way to express any of them.
I’m not a brilliant writer; that’s the honest truth. What’s more, this is my first attempt at the sports genre, and it’s an objective fact that it has many shortcomings and flaws. My writing process is always one of constant revision, of thinking and refining things over and over again, all in the hope of delivering a better story. My own abilities are limited, so all I can do is pour my heart into it and continue to work hard. I hope you all will like Bambi, like this story, and also, like football.
Bambi’s journey to the top has only just begun. I hope you will all grow alongside him!
The NFL playoffs are in their final stretch, and the two Super Bowl teams were decided today. I won’t say who they are... I’m heartbroken, already cried myself to sleep in the bathroom. The Super Bowl will be held on February 5th, and Tencent Sports will start broadcasting it live at 7:30 AM. This season, with Brother Long’s injury and the Green Bay Packers failing to make the playoffs, my season ended early. I’ll just have to look forward to the new season next year! For any readers interested in football, you’re welcome to join in. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
As for a few things about football and some of the background information for this book, I’ve mentioned them several times before, so I won’t repeat myself here. If any readers are interested, you’re welcome to browse the posts in the ’Auxiliary Chapters’ section to learn more.
Once again, thank you to every reader who supports the novel by subscribing to the official version; that is always the best form of support. Thank you for every monthly pass, every donation, every recommendation ticket, and every single review. A special thanks also goes to our comment section moderator, Yi Zhi Jiazi. It is your support that has brought Bambi to where he is today. Thank you! I’m truly grateful!
Finally, there will be a bonus Chapter today.
