My apologies i meant they have commented on different posts but nothing about this issue. those comments where about other things. They are obviously active on the forum but just will not give an answer
No free premium chapters for 2 days
Silly me, I have been waiting to read like usual the daily unlock chapter without knowing its really stop. This is not fair. Like how many I need to spend SS for one book. For example, Hiddenmarriage..hundreds of chapters still unlock. I cant afford to spend all SS for Only ONE book! When there are others need to be unlock too
Please, please and PLEASE response to readers and not just be silent. This platform exist for that reason
It's all about the money money money.... They just want to make money money money

Important to remember that QI said at the start "We won't go put a paywall in our site"....
As i said times ago QI lacks professionalism,,, i swear to God that i never saw an company that love drama like QI...
Let's count the dramas...
1) QI x WW
2) QI x SS abnormal expiry
3) QI x DMCA some translators patreons
4) QI x "fremmium"
5) QI x Original Authors
and now
6) QI x paywall
And this site is what? 2 years old?
sunofthebeach is SAS even premium? Why is it included?

“What if I'm not able to afford the Premium cost?
Free Readers, do not fear, we also care deeply about your reading experience as non-premium readers.You can still get Spirit Stones, which can be used to access premium chapters, by daily check-ins, voting, inviting friends, participating in community events, and even watching video ads on a daily basis.”
There is still watching video ads as an option but has not been implemented on the Premium novels since it started. Is this a Bug or Policy change? I hope it is the former. Have invested time and bandwidth on this site despite me not being a premium member. :(
I'm already delete webnovel app and give them 1 review, although still reading trough website for advent of archmage (premium) and godfather of champions. I'm used buying SS too weekly. Mostly I spent it n god avatar, cultivation chat group, forty millennium of cultivation and god of slaughter. Lord xue ying, library of heaven path, immortal mortal and superstar of tomorrow, I read free, waiting each chapter unlock everyday. Now I drop all premium novel except advent of archmage.
I think QI must change how many SS to unlock chapter. Make it all equal. Not base on word per chapter. 3 SS would be nice. Or give membership like 5$ each month for all access reading. Just my 2 cent.
What concerns me most is that QI is not even responding. A number of threads has been opened regarding this and still, they are keeping quiet about this. :(
And now someone is spamming chinese(im guessing) threads all over the fourm lol, probably their idea of covering the discussion
Cool. I'm done. Uninstalling today. I was only sticking around for Stronges System anyways. I can still recall when QI was only comming out, and they stole pretty much everything from WW and community here was defending them, saying they will keep it free. Later they said only select chapters will be behind addwall, then only a few novel will be premium and you can still read it for free if you are patient enough. Guess what will be comming next? I will not stick around to get disgusted again...
yep, if free daily premium chapters are gone then I'm done with qidan. I just don't have that much cash to burn. I'm sure 99% of the readers here are in the same boat.
slipith Yep I warned everyone regarding the same thing. I try and judge people based on their actions and not their words (protip: that's how you weed out the worst people in almost every field). If there was an option to pay a flat subscription fee of, say, $15 per month for access to all premium books while keeping ads on free books, they could make bank. That's paying for an entire book every month when, let's be honest, the content you get (depending on the # of books you keep up with) doesn't match that amount. TL'DR: people who act badly once will likely continue to do so and no amount of faith will change it. Especially coming from Asian cultures.
This is also a good idea, the only problem is how to pay authors/translators
Of course another alternative would be buting indevidual novels. But when it would already cost150$+ to unlock a novel i doubt their chinese money grabbing would offer reasonable prices
doesnt QI also have a chinese version. how is it going there. is it the same BS???

Icegoast Qidian didn't give free chapter. Qidian is a premium novel system.
Webnovel, this site is the child company of Qidian.
Still no company wise responce or announcement, I am utterly disgusted with this platform the way the premium spirit stones are structured is a joke how this company expects the average reader to afford the cost of way over two hundred pounds a novel and let's be honest many people read more than 1. people are gonna be paying way over 50 pounds a month I may swell go buy a book or get Netflix I love these novels but I'm done with this site I've pumped well over £200 pounds into this useless laggy,bugged,zero contact site and now they stick a pay wall in with no notice to anyone I've waited 3 months to catch up on some book, well what a waste of time that was
Haha, I found several NOT premium novels which are pretty good.
Tales of Herding Gods, the TL stated that they aren't planning to go premium. The story is extremely good and the quality is one of the best.
Dark King, an extremely good story. Even if filled with typos, the plot is better than most premium novels.
ATreeAteMe If it's on this app/site, you can't trust the translator. Qidian decides what and when. Every novel here will be premium this is inevitable. I suggest you don't fall into the trap. If you don't mind dropping something you are attached to continue on.
