Why you still asking? I already predict this 5 month ago. Nothing new about webnovel squeeze your money harder. Just let webnovel die and another translator group will pick the project again

Face_Smacking_Dao Webnovel won't die. Their parents company had just go 'public'. They had huge money on their pocket to survive at loss. Shareholder would accept 'to conquer' the market share reason.

Their biggest competition in novel space is only Wattpad.

MasterRabbink Don't forget Amazon Kindle as it most certainly will become a competition. The only reason they weren't a competition was because reading web novels was free. I believe it will be the biggest competition actually. Their way of business has become remarkably similar in principle. Kindle also can make the first volume of some series free so you get hooked and pay for the later parts. It is pretty similar in principle, just the delivery is different. This system is just more game like and made in a way to trick the customer into spending without realizing...

the readerbase for webnovels is just way to small and with a paywall entry its not like it will grow in the foreseeable future

N0xiety Webnovel will be killed in an instant against that Behemoth, if Amazon went into 'Daily'/Serial Novel. Amazon Prime is Amazon key to Victory. It is unbeatable in US. Lol. Based on their business Web novel is just a slice away. Luckily Webnovel focused on 'Wuxia' story.

I will never bet on WN if the opponent is Amazon. WN will have to join as another tail in the big Bahemoth. However, some Authors didn't like Amazon's profit sharing while WN could monetize better.

Nevertheless, if considering Amazon as competitor, what you said is correct... WN needs to be careful. Most likely WN would reduce price if Amazon entered the market.

Pff is long term event. Only 6 month long. Is it long enough?

Yakumo Next they are gonna say that feature never even existed #communismstyle

it's turn out to be the greed of author, how sad :(

Lord_HaarT Greed? Everyone has that. That is their living. If my sole income of mine is from writing, I want more money if possible from each words I make. Luckily, I am not.

Lord_HaarT a programmer could earn a lot if he's really good or has some connections to have a lot of clients.

N0xiety EA really rubs off their game with their microtransactions and sh*t.

MasterRabbink true. The same goes with rappers and other artists on their industry. They have no idea that tens of thousands audition tapes are being sent to a corresponding studio and rejected. They all think that succesful artists don't deserved what they got coz' it seems so easy. If you're the top of your game, then you'll make big bucks. It's common sense.

Lord_HaarT if they do then they shouldn’t get more greedy, but u can’t just say it and expect us to believe that right? How do you know they get that much?

By the way have you guys also noticed they put up adwalls for all previously unlocked chapters? I’m 100% sure a lot of those chapters I’ve once either unlocked via watching the ads or paid 4SS. Now it’s just gone with the wind and if I wanna reread chapters then too bad I guess.

There used to always be this competition between QI, WW and GT but now it seems like QI got tired of it and decided to be greedy. WW has brought out subscriptions but it is only for bonus chapters so they are keeping their relationship with the free viewers pretty good. I for an example used to view things freely but I always find myself now subscribing to a couple novels. I have dropped so many novels on here because of Spirit stones, this model is so bad, I also do not condone cutting off your free viewers out of greed without any transparency too.
