Desperate Dawn

Dear readers, I am Cai Chen, the author of this book. First of all, thank you so much for clicking on this book. Without you, there would be no me! I'm new to this website, and the early stages are the most difficult time for every author. I need everyone's help. Every click, every collection, every free flower, every item gift, and every red envelope you send is crucial and a huge encouragement to me! I'll dedicate this thread to the "Supporting Characters" thread. If you want to adventure with the protagonist, leave your name and characteristics! (Readers on the fan ranking will be given priority!)

Let's talk about the most memorable/touching lines from the game/Dawn. 🙊

Chenchen, I love you, mwah (* /∇\*)

Are there any family members still waiting?

What would the author think if he one day saw the comments section and realized there were so many readers who cared about his book?

Avoiding updates will only make readers more heartbroken and disappointed. Li Xiao had just recovered from his demonic state and could have continued writing more of the story, but instead, updates stopped. Hopefully, Cai Chen can resume updating *Dawn of Despair* someday so we won't have any regrets.

Even one update a year is fine, Caichen. I read it when I was in elementary school, and now I'm a college student.

Is he no longer here?

Come back and update soon

Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye. This book was my first encounter with online novels. I started reading Desperate Dawn when I was in elementary school, through a pirated WeChat mini-program. I was terrified every few chapters, but I couldn't resist reading more. Later, I discovered that it cost money! So I searched for pirated versions online, enduring the ubiquitous ads and accidentally clicking on pornographic websites to read hundreds of chapters. It was quite an experience. Unfortunately, the updates became slower and slower, from once every three days to once a week, then once every two weeks. I gradually couldn't stand the update frequency and wondered if there was something wrong with the pirated websites. So I started looking for the official version, but I couldn't find where to read it at all. Slowly, I forgot about it. Later, I started reading other novels and gradually came into contact with all kinds of genres, but I always maintained one habit: I only read completed works and never read ongoing ones. No matter how good a book is or how exciting the plot is, I won't read a single page if it's not finished, because following a book is just too agonizing. Recently, I've read quite a few novels, but they're either uninteresting or poorly developed, which reminded me of the feeling I had when I was a kid reading *Dawn of Despair*, needing to take a break after a few chapters (that was my first exposure to words like murder and ghosts, haha). So, relying on my memories from seven years ago, I started searching for the book online. Time has passed, and of all the vivid characters I remembered, I only recall Xu Zixuan, Tianlang, and Wan Dong. I found the WeChat official account based on online information, and then found 17k through the official account, only to find out it was indefinitely suspended. My mood plummeted. Seeing that the author has started a new book, perhaps because *Dawn of Despair* didn't do well, I realized I can't even read paid books now that I can. After much thought, I still made a donation, a way of making up for my childhood memories. I hope the author's new book is a huge success! I'll wait until the author is financially secure before returning to update "Dawn of Despair." I can wait. When the author resumes updating, I'll break my own rules and read each chapter as it's released! I also hope to join the fan group and discuss the content with everyone. I'm so honored to have enjoyed such a wonderful book since childhood. I hope the author sees this and replies to fulfill my fangirl dream!
