akuma06 I know what you mean, there are only a couple of novels i only read the daily freebies for because the spirit stone cost for each chapter is simply so high that it just isn't worth it. Now there are a couple of stories with daily updates that are ad funded, and then there are four stories which are premium. Now for the sake of those premium stories i buy the 400 spirit stone bundle once a month. Now the number of spirit stones i would have to buy for the formerly free stories in order to catch up is terrifying, which frankly really puts me off so those two stories are probably gonna be abandoned. Now what i don't get is why they can't just choose the middle ground and change the free daily chapters to ad blocked chapters, and keep them as ad chapters so that they get some revenue that way at least. I am happy to watch ads Qidian and a lot of people are too. Like if you are too.

    Disperson yeah, their going for the epub way of trying to make money, if you what to get a real heads up and how bed qi and even gt has acted, you should join www,novelupdates.com ( its good for all novel info and also for finding new non-qi books) and look at the huge forums posts and the lies and bs that's happened over the last 3 yrs,
    also, we did the 1-star google vote thing before and qi removed the app and as they are based in China used their own servers, they even had to change FB pages 3 times due to the comments left, as they never speak to us the reader, they just think they can control us
    also the reason they only own 90% of gt is this gt host non-qi novel's and if as they had planned in buying it all they'd have lost those, they almost did about 8mths ago until ma new deal was done ...
    as I said read up on novelupdates and you find a lot of things you never knew about

        VexationPrince you seem to think qi care ..but they don't in anyway ..in the post above I linked a database site ie novelupdates , just read the p[osts in their and you understand this is the common standard way of qi's dealing with stuff

            Pizz damn these bastards hiding their shit with their shitty service. I'll check out novel updates. Thx

              Guys, just chill. Anyone here can read these premium novels on “mirror” (pirate) websites, which I won’t link here because I don’t support them and I don’t want to give them more clicks and ad revenue. But I’m not ashamed to say I’ve been reading Webnovel’s premium novels on Reddit (r/QidianUnderground). I still give my daily free stones to support the novels I like, but since I can’t pay for them all, I shamelessly read most of them on reddit.

                Tride Writers don't cost anything, they only bring in money...

                    Yakumo You don't understand. You can't stop piracy, but you can sue people who uploaded and send them to jail or make their life in 'disaster' with the need to 'pay' for damage. A criminal record would prevent future employment. We know all the dark secret. Does he need to advertise in the official sites?

                        Hey Quidian, With the amount of daily ss we get. How i am suppose to read all those novels. If only i could afford those premium i would definately buy each and everyone of those chapters but forcing us to buy chapters made me drop lot of good novels. If u guyz care about us readers then daily free chapters plz

                          Ahsaan daily free chapter is like wishful thinking now.
                          It's policy from the mother company Qidian that webnovel must apply to appease the author
