They've stopped releases free chapters for premiuim novel and didn't say anything for the past 5 days. This is obviously to make us pay ss, which we obviously cannot afford. I suggest everybody to rate the app 1 star. If they don't fix their shit, I'm out and going to gravity tales.

    Then they should give us more means to earn free SS. The friend invites doesn’t work. Tried a number of times already. Webnovel should revise the SS credit system. Instead of earning 5 per type of vote, it should be 5 per vote. This would reward older members (higher levels) and entice newer ones to keep leveling up.

    Disperson a better option is to have people stop spending ss on premium chapters. All they really care about is income so if they see that this action has caused a decrease in customer spending they may revert back to daily chapter unlocks. Doubt that will happen though😅

        You would be surprised, apart from the daily ss people will use, i very much doubt spending is going to increse since people are going to see an even larger volume of locked chapters, so they will just give up on it.

            I keep updated on two novels so those two I still read(I don't have to buy earlier chapters, just the latest ones), but the others, I just can't afford. I won't spend anything other than those two.

              MasterRabbink I doubt the common people could afford following 10 novels. That's pretty much enough to pay half of my monthly food budget. And i'm not kidding $100 is quite good money where i'm from, i'm actually eating pretty lavishly with $200 food budget. $100 actually would be more than enough for the food budget of one person if i wasn't eating whatever i want...

              I think if they are going full premium, regional prices is a must as i doubt majority of the readers from my country would pay that much. Steam would be a good example. Ok, just looking at a random game with no discounts. Metro Exodus, costs $59.99 in USA. Here, it costs $34. Actually, even that is kind of expensive, but i guess even steam can't go lower on a pre-purchase game. Lets look at another game, Post Scriptum. Costs $29.99 in USA, here it costs $8.21. Now that's more reflecting of the buying power difference...

                  MasterRabbink I'm curious as to how many are casual users though. As far as I could tell, people I've seen here seem to come from weeboo/koreaboo backgrounds who discovered Chinese webnovels by affiliation with aggregators. All cheapskates by nature.

                  QI is experienced since China has no sense of copyright but I wonder how many will continue the habit of starting and reading series with these parameters? They don't give enough hope to paying users, imo.

                      MaryFord True, and they are not even accounting to the different buying power of people from different countries. For example, 250g regular white bread costs $0.2 here. Yeah, i'm not kidding... Do they really expect people with such buying power to pay $100 to read 10 novels per month? Isn't that dreaming too much? Or maybe they have just given up on us completely haha. That's probably the case...

                          MaryFord Dunno. However I believe they had over hundred thousand users (check Google Play download), but how many this forum users?

                              axae Write your own novel. Webnovel don’t think you are a target market. Sad, Painful, but the truth.

                              Try to invite more friends for SS and reducing premium novel read. Check free Originals.

                              There is another method, but couldn't be said.
