After being in the Web Novel community (Web Novel community here refers to the massive community consisting of all Web Novel sites, blogs, forums, servers, channels, groups, pages, and anything related) and being a free and unregistered reader on Qidian International (Qidian International refers to this site that is www.webnovel.com) for some time, I have read, heard, and understood the importance of Spirit Stones. Considering that everyone here is always rambling about not having Spirit Stones and how Qidian International is a savage group that doesn't want to explain to their readers even though the readers are the people Qidian International makes money off of, I am going to keep this post updated with how many Spirit Stones I get in the next 30 Days and what I can do with that. This will be a good estimate to know some stuff for a lot of users.

Let me tell you all this as well: First, I don't read a lot of translated works here (Only 3 Works and I am not at the point where I need to spend SS on them). Second, I do not read any Originals as of now even if some were contracted as I will read them in the future when they have a few hundred chapters (300).

The post format will be as follows

      joris It is in the apps. You can watch ads to get SS. It won't be forever. When there is no ads. No SS.

        Bait your father, brother, sister, mother, grandmother, grandfather, great grandfather, great grandmother, etc. Do you know why those young master in Xianxia story had many family members? To be baited.

            _God You don't understand. Go read Naruto fanfic! It would show you the way.

                Well, I will hop on this as well as the wallpapers are really good quality. I was able to gather 1200+ SS in a month. It included SS from Invites and the daily check-in. The majority was from the invites. I didn't even know people got SS for voting etc at that time. No Video bonuses either.

                Free users can get up to 24-34 per day or 720-1020 a month (30 days) Most I had without “invite friend” abuse is about 897 SS.

                And now, a rant.
                I watched a frucking ad, but after I closed the goddamn ad, I didn't get the pop up for the SS like I get otherwise. So as a patient web novel user, I clicked on the watch ad again and watched another frucking ad, but what did I get: You have already watched the "Goddamn" Ad.
                Now, I did get the SS for the first ad but didn't get anything for the second ad. Now, this is tyranny. Give me my SS. Don't give me bullshrit that you are only supposed to get SS for the ad once a day. Didn't web novel get paid for the second ad? I am sure they did. So they ought to give us SS. Give me an answer.

                  _God Good job, I’ve calculated that at your current rate, you’ll be able to fully unlock MMORPG: Rebirth of the Legendary Guardian in 378 days. That’s assuming you save every single SS, and it will use up all of them.
                  Edit: You’ll probably die of old age before unlocking more than a couple dozen novels lol.

                      Good luck my brother. Wish you all the best. And for the why you need to watch more MAYBE webnovel place a treshold for how many penny they get from ads before random ss active. I still remember some old post disscussing about the value of ads and ss.

                        Face_Smacking_Dao The rough rate of ads to SS is 2 ads per SS. So watching one ad and gaining an average of 10 is already pretty good.

                        Also, as to why you can't keep watching ads: Ads are there to entice someone to buy something. If the same ad is shown again and again, it doesn't really benefit the ad provider and its clients (the person paying for these advertisements). So there's actually a point where ads cannot be repeatedly served by the provider (provider isn't Webnovel here. Usually Google).

                            CKtalon The ad was of different stuff, so that argument is invalid. Well, whatever, what's done is done. It's already good that you people haven't abandoned us, free readers, completely and are actually taking the time to clarify something.

                                _God It also depends on region. A particular region will have a set number of ads. For my region, I'm pretty much getting like 3-4 ads rotated. So if I'm allowed to watch 10 ads a day, I'll probably see all the ads and multiple times at that. (It's the same reason why certain regions don't even have ads for them to watch to get the free SS)
