  • So. . . I've spent around $100 on QI... Here are my thoughts

Looking hind-site, after spending close to $100 so far at QI. I'm actually not feeling that bad. Initially, when I first spent my first $40ish (or so), I was feeling really PO'd(angry). However, considering there are so many LN's that are basically free. And finding hidden gem LN's that only cost 4 coins per chapter. Plus the LN's that are being purely translated out of fandom (aka free completely). So all of this combined, I'm feeling really happy with all of this reading material. You could spend years reading on QI and not have to spend $100 like I did (just to catch up to were I'm at).

Anyhoot, love ya QI. You're still overpriced as heck, but considering so much free chapters. It's actually not that bad.

P.S. Until you expand your money grubbing ways. SHANK YOU!

    DarkImmortal_Intel So you are happy that you are getting pretty sub par translation quality and paying $100 for it? Ok, i don't get your logic, but good for you mate. Good that you have enough money to throw around and not care about the service you are receiving. You are the guy companies love for sure haha. And no, you can't spend years at QI to catch up where you are, because it won't happen. Free chapters are no more, it will stay locked till you decide to pay for it...

        Well, here's my experience;

        I don't know, haven't used a single penny on this site;
        2 reasons; I'm broke, and when I have money I waste it on unnecessary crap because I'm honestly one of those that can't hold to their money and use it right it.

        If I were going to use money, it'd be for an amazing novel. So far, haven't found that one yet.

        Not saying novels on webnovel are bad, it's just that everyone has different tastes. Now, there are some novels here that I'd rate trash, because, my opinion...

        But, there are some good novels...

        --

        Now, back to money.

        If there are cheaper prices, because I'm honestly not spending $100 on a single novel(or 2), and I found a novel that I really liked, I wouldn't mind using money. I've done it for Amazon, I wouldn't mind doing it for Webnovel.

        Although;
        1. Good Translation
        2. Cheap prices
        3. Good services(ahh..this site..could use some work..a lot..I guess)

        Without these; I don't care...

        --

        My OPINION...

        I know I'm not important to webnovel, and personally, I don't give a damn if they care or not. But if more and more people are unhappy with Webnovel and they leave, you would be losing a lot(depending) of customers.

          N0xiety I am pretty sure he meant with free SS that people get daily. Only if QI stops giving free SS will the chapters be truly locked for good.

              Normally:

              Pick 2:

              • Quality
              • Quantity
              • Cheap

              Here:

              Pick 1:

              • Quantity*

              ...
              *still rather average for todays standards in most cases

                _God I know what he meant, but that's like a pittance. If we are going to be technical about it, Qi can give you 1 ss per day and it still wouldn't be considered 'locked for good'. Technically, you can still read eh?

                    N0xiety If they were giving 1 ss a day instead of the approximate 30 they do right now, I can guarantee you I will go to aggregator sites to read, no question asked! Many others will do the same. And you ought to know: I hate aggregators and never read on them.

                        _God Ok, good for you? I guess you aren't following more than one or two novels, which is probably a good thing. Atleast this system forces people to be selective about what they read so they can focus on their most favorite novel eh?

                        • _God replied to this.

                            N0xiety Not for now. I haven't been reading on web novel for long, probably around 2 months and I don't just read every book and I don't read a lot of chapters daily either. The ones I am reading now still have a lot of open chapters before I can get to the premium part.

                                The best thing is to go learn chinese. It takes a few years but there will not be that much trouble trying to read good novels

                                  Hi guys cookieboy here.
                                  Here is my experience in this website, we pay 9-10 times what Chinese readers pay, bye guys.

                                  iMHO, Freeloaders have no right to complain.. so im not doing that.. just enjoy the read

                                    As a fellow spender, I am currently angry that they stopped the daily unlocking of chapters. That said, i have many books bookmarked (in my digital library) which are now "premium" and have to pay in order to read them. I guess its time to remove those so called "premium" books which are honestly fun to read but if you ask me to pay for that, not really... Also it would be too expensive if i had to spend money to unlock those chapters.

                                    The only reason which will make me stay is some of the books which are still free. And I guess I will now use the free daily SS on the chapters of the book which made me initially join Webnovel - Librabry of Heaven's Path. Its also mainly on it that i spent my money.

                                    However, from now on until they find a better solution to get money or put back the daily unlocking. Don't expect me to spend a single $. Like i said above i will mainly use my free SS on LOHP.

                                      Why are you stop fighting? I hate to see a truce. Webnovel dont care about you. Only your money. Do you believe me if this policy will change in next 2 until 6 month (or maybe more, im not a fortune teller)? If you new reader then i will galdly tell you that you have been scammed by webnovel. Your welcome if you realize it and wish you best if you insist with your thinking.

                                      Now im talking about the reason why in next some month WN will change their policy. First WN have many variety of novel with weekly new novel. Second some old free novel will become premium (many factor for this). Stagnant customer (new user and retire user is in equivalent). SS payment method dont make their customer grow anymore.

                                      I will not say what the solution or what webnovel do. Let them think what they should do if they arrived in that stage

                                        $100 isn’t even enough for many novels. MMORPG: rebirth of the legendary guardian costs roughly 12,000 SS to fully unlock, and that’s how it seems like it’s going to stay. Assuming you’re a free user a religiously collect all the free SS, it’ll still take more that a year to get enough, and that’s just a single novel! On the other hand, you can spend $200 for a single novel. Which do you prefer?
