When Celestial Bane reached 100,000 words, there were already as high as 150,000 bookmarks. At the same time, it ranked tenth in recommendation votes and was already competing with many other great authors on the list. The battle was a fierce one.
Things did not stop there when Celestial Bane reached 150,000 words and there was not the slightest hint of decline in support. On the contrary, it continued making headway. Bookmarks reached 250,000 in one fell swoop, climbing up the recommendation votes list and achieving third place!
To reach the third place on the recommendation votes list was a truly formidable result. Recommendation votes represented a work's popularity before the work was published!
Those votes could be regarded as directly correlated to the final score of one's book. At that moment, Celestial Bane has already caught the attention of Genesis Chinese Literature's big shot authors. It was a masterpiece that was expected to reach the same levels.
