First of all, let me bow deeply to all of you who are reading this right now—thank you. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support, encouragement, patience, and companionship along this journey. Without you, this book would not be alive today.
Today is a special day for me as an author, and for this story. After many weeks of preparation, doubts, editing, and countless late nights, this book has officially been launched on the shelves. For writers on platforms like Qidian, this is more than just a switch being flipped—it is a moment of truth, a test of whether all the effort poured into these chapters will be recognized and rewarded.
To be completely honest with you, I was caught off guard by the platform's restructuring. Many of you may not know the behind-the-scenes struggles of online authorship, so let me share a little. When Qidian changes its traffic distribution system, it changes everything for us authors. Stories that might have naturally gained attention suddenly find themselves buried under newer recommendations or reshuffled algorithms. For me, the initial traffic was painfully low. Every time I refreshed the data panel, hoping for growth, the numbers hardly moved. It felt like shouting into a void, waiting for an echo that never came.
But over the past two days, things have improved. Bit by bit, like rain droplets gathering into a stream, readers began to discover the book. Slowly, that stream started to widen into a river. It was not an overwhelming surge, but it was enough to give me hope again.
My editor had given me advice early on: "Don't hesitate. Push for traffic as much as you can, and once you gather momentum, put the book on the shelves immediately. Strike while the iron is hot." At that time, I hesitated. Should I polish more chapters? Should I wait for more feedback? But in the end, I chose to trust that advice, and here we are. Perhaps it wasn't a perfect strategy, but it was necessary.
Now, let me address something many of you have noticed: the early chapters. Some readers said they felt "too watery." Others compared the pacing unfavorably to other works and pointed out that the first few arcs dragged on too long. Yes, I've heard your voices. And yes, I humbly admit it—I stumbled.
The truth is, I had taken a long break from writing, nearly a month. When I came back, my hands were stiff, and my thoughts were clumsy. Writing is like any craft; if you put it down for too long, it takes time to warm up again. The first chapters, including what some readers jokingly call the "Golden Three," lacked the tightness and flow that you deserve. Looking back now, I can see that clearly. But at that time, I was still finding my rhythm. For that, I sincerely apologize.
Fortunately, once I adapted again, the writing grew stronger. I could feel the words flowing more naturally, the characters breathing more vividly, and the battles unfolding with greater intensity. Many of you noticed the improvement as well, and your encouragement gave me the strength to keep going. Thank you for sticking with me through those rocky beginnings.
Today, to celebrate the launch, I am releasing four full updates. Yes, four! Consider it my gift to you, the readers who have been waiting patiently, commenting faithfully, and supporting me tirelessly.
Now, let me be direct: please, if you can, place your first order. Whether you are a loyal follower from the beginning or someone who just joined the ride recently, your first order matters more than you can imagine.
Why do I stress this so much? Because on Qidian, the weight of the first orders is enormous. It signals to the platform that this book has readers willing to support it, and it influences how much visibility the story gets moving forward. Important things should be said not once, not twice, but three times—
Please place your first order!
Please place your first order!!
Please place your first order!!!
I cannot overstate this—it means everything to me as an author. Your support at this critical stage will decide how far this story can go.

On Writing and Improvement
Let me also share a little about what this journey means to me personally. Writing about the Naruto world, especially focusing on Uchiha Madara, is not an easy task. Madara is an iconic figure, larger than life, and every fan has their own image of him. To take such a legendary character and weave him into a reincarnation system story is both a challenge and a thrill.
When I started, I worried: will readers accept this interpretation? Will they find Leo's journey believable, exciting, and worthy of Madara's name? Some doubts still linger in my heart, but the feedback has shown me that many of you are enjoying it. That gives me courage.
Every chapter I write is a dialogue with you. When I picture Madara standing tall, facing overwhelming odds, I also picture you reading, your eyes following every word. When I write the moments of strategy, of confrontation, of fiery will, I imagine your reactions—surprise, laughter, excitement. That connection is what keeps me going, even when I am tired.

Gratitude
I owe thanks not just to readers, but also to fellow authors, editors, and friends who stood by me. Writing is a lonely road at times, but it becomes bearable when you have companions cheering you on.
Some of you reached out to me privately, leaving encouraging words when I was at my lowest. Some left long reviews analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the book, pointing out flaws while still recognizing the effort behind it. To all of you—I see you, and I thank you.

A Friend's Book
Before I end, allow me to recommend a friend's new work: "Starting from Hong Kong Movies."
It's a fascinating premise. The protagonist, Song Sheng, finds himself entering the world of Hong Kong cinema—an era full of legends, opportunities, and chaos. He starts with nothing, no resources, no power, not even a loyal dog. Yet in a world that devours the weak, he strives to carve a path. His cheat ability constantly pushes him forward, refusing to let him live quietly. So rather than cowering in the shadows, Song Sheng embraces his fate and goes all out.
If you love stories that mix real-world culture with fantasy twists, this book is worth your time. My friend has already completed several strong works, so the quality is guaranteed.

My Old Works
For those who are new to my writing, let me also remind you of some of my previous projects. One of them is "Konoha: Becoming a Big Capitalist from the Evil World Tobirama." It is a different kind of journey, one that explores power, ambition, and the transformation of Konoha's fate. If you are curious about different perspectives within the Naruto universe, I recommend giving it a try.

Final Words
So here we are—the launch day. I stand before you with gratitude, nervousness, and hope. Gratitude for your support, nervousness for the challenges ahead, and hope that this story will grow alongside all of you.
No matter how far it goes, no matter what storms lie ahead, I will continue writing with all my heart. For those who love Madara, for those who love Naruto, and for those who simply love a good story—I will not let you down.
So once again, let me say: thank you, thank you, and thank you.
Now, let us move forward together
