The next few minutes are tense, as the N.C.C looks back and forth between the main screen and the additional goals screen. Taking the time to analyse more of the additional goals, to see how badly he may have sabotaged himself.
But before he can get too into it, a notification appears.
Additional Goal (Have a total of 20 views.) achieved.
You have been awarded a single use ability to set the chapter title!
Excitement shot through him as he looks at the pop-up that has just appeared. Quickly waning when he sees the reward.
"A single use ability to set the chapter title? What?" He questions.
A chapter title has been chosen.
His mouth closes so fast that his teeth clack together. Lips thinning, it appears as if he were sucking on the worlds most sour lemon. The N.C.C, as that what he has continually proven to be, a newbie content creator, is very mad. However he can only be mad at himself. He is the one who has continually, repetitively even, made the same mistakes. This was the third time now, and he internally promised himself that this will be the last time.
Going back to what he was looking at, the N.C.C thoroughly looked at the additional goals available.

What an exhaustive list. However, despite the large amount of additional goals, it was shorter than the N.C.C feared it would be. Does that mean he''s somehow finished entire categories already, and missed out on many many rewards? Probably not. However, he does notice that he still is missing a few goals when compared to the pattern he''s expecting out of them. Specifically a few seem to be missing from the beginning of the average views per chapter category, the 1, 5, and 10 per chapter average is missing, which hurts. He also notices that the ''Appear on the front page of your platform'' is missing a ''for the first time!'' option. Does that mean he''s appeared on the front page of wherever his actions are being published? How is that possible?
Though, a few of the categories seem to break the pattern he''s expecting, so maybe there just never was a ''Appear on the front page of your platform for the first time!'' option. For example, the longest chapter wordcount goal category starts at 3000, which is the first time he''s seen the number 3 so far. The ''Have your story appear in the Top # of a category'' is also vastly different than standard.
He notices that the comment goal additional options are gone entirely. Or at least the total number of comments one, there appeared to be another category of goals for the average amount of comments per chapter that was still there. The view goals also only featured a singular goal for 1000 total views.
From this the N.C.C quickly figures out, that the options are missing because they are the goals he has already set for himself, and they are in the main screen.

He now has a decision to make. While there''s no helpful indicator, he knows he has 1 free slot out of 10 additional goal slots. The question is, what should he fill the slot with? The ''Gain your first follower!'' goal? The ''Gain your first review!'' goal? Maybe even the ''Gain your first rating!'' goal?
But the N.C.C doesn''t hesitate, he knows what goal he wants to choose. There''s are two options he needs to get as soon as possible to not miss out on any rewards, and one of those two options are even more likely to be achieved after what he said to the viewers at the end of the last chapter.
Have a comment average of 1/chapter.
However, the N.C.C cannot help but think of all the ways this could go wrong. After all, he has no idea how many chapters there are already, to him it feels like only a few hours have passed since the recording started after he made the mishap with naming the title. There could be 10 chapters already, 100 even! There''s no way for him currently to know how his story looks from the outside. If there have been a lot of chapters already, getting a comment average of 1 per chapter could be a huge undertaking, it might take months! Even if he were to somehow meet the mandatory quota, this additional goal may haunt his main screen, taking up a precious spot.
Then he notices something, that there is in fact a way to keep track of how many chapters there has been. The total number of chapters additional goals category. He hasn''t reached 5 chapters yet. So he should only require 4 or less comments to meet the goal.
Before he spirals into deeper thoughts and the opportunity is lost, he taps on it and adds it to his additional goals. He cannot afford to worry. Its still better than taking the other option he was considering, as that also was part of a per chapter category. Now all he has to do is hope. Hope that nobody follows or favourites, and nobody rates or reviews.
