Thanks to all the readers who have journeyed through "The Age of Humanity."

This chapter contains no story content, only some heartfelt words.

“Epoch of Humanity” was uploaded on December 24th. Looking back on the journey to today’s achievements, it is all thanks to everyone’s support. Here, I quietly say thank you!

Since the day it was uploaded, I’ve checked the favorites countless times every day... At first, for over a week, there was no response at all, until one day a few came in, filling me with joy. Gradually, it appeared on some recommendation lists, though the results were modest.

"Darkened Solid Ball" was the first to reward this book and wrote a review. At that time, when I craved recognition and hoped for some affirmation, it was like a timely gift, like water in a drought... ———— Thank you!

Almost on the same day, “xiaosemolang” also left a review, and the subsequent rewards made me realize that someone did like what I wrote! That day was the happiest day for me... ———— Thank you!

Then came the New Year period, during which I dared not stop updating! There was a check-in event. I always saw “ibmandy” leaving messages about earning three red tickets through check-ins. Though silent, these messages always made me ignore the dazzling fireworks outside and grin foolishly at my computer... ———— Thank you!

“Benben Runiu,” “White Feather Crow,” “Happy Journey to the West,” “QQ Cat,” “Heart Addiction,” and “Shangqing Tian” were early familiar names to me. ———— Thank you!

“New Recruit” never left comments or reviews but suddenly gave so many rewards... ———— Thank you!

“XXOOOOO” Honestly, when I first saw this name, I laughed with delight! Though rarely leaving formal comments or reviews, the impression stayed deeply in my heart! ———— Thank you!

“Landlord,” “Ice Colder than Ice,” “b23456,” “Freddie,” “QIA,” “Long Live the King,” “A Fish,” “Colorful Desert,” “Discovery Zongheng,” “Master Reader,” “Calm and Low-key,” and “Autumn Butterfly” ———— Thank you!

“Got Food?” even said I surpassed **, which left me speechless!

“Seven Days Eight Nights” — sweat! You guessed so many plot points, how am I supposed to write now!

“dz258” is someone I enjoy discussing with...

“Wutie Niu,” I was thrilled to see you promote this book on Dragon Sky. That day, without any recommendation, the favorites increased by over two hundred! Haha! ———— Thank you!

“luzheng,” I was pulled by fellow authors to bump posts, and it turned out it was his post. He noticed me and then posted telling me not to wander around aimlessly, which made me chuckle! He said he has plenty of time now and has become the book’s vice moderator, even creating a book group (26330008)...

To all above, I can only say a seemingly useless thank you. Beyond that, I can only strive to write better, hoping to live up to everyone’s support!

Regarding support, I truly have no extravagant wishes. If subscriptions come with publication, I am already very grateful... However, I do enjoy reading reviews, no matter what kind.

If anyone was not mentioned above, please don’t take offense. I hope you’ll write more reviews in the future!

Finally, a small wish: may the book title “Epoch of Humanity” one day appear among the homepage’s hot reviews!

P.S.: Because I wrote this, there will be no second chapter today. My apologies!
