Ppl get eat 1 way or other. I didn’t 🤔 they want milk u dry but need pay ppl doing work feed business or go down nothing for free 😥😥😥

    Gamercat oh yes you are. The fact that you spent $70 makes you a cash cow. That goes for everybody else who are helplessly paying just to read the current chapter. I have to ask myself though, am I getting something worthy of the money I spend? Especially those novels that reached up to 1,600+ chapters and still on going. You will be paying WN, reading the same novel ( that has visited the same plot in a loop again and again.) till you reached middle age. It's a no win situation for the subscribers against WN. As long as they have novels to publish it's just basically picking money from a tree.

      Gamercat I personally stopped reading those works except for 1. I think I could probably handle reading 3. Everything else is on hold.

      As an original author, I suggest you look into originals. Some of them are quite good! They are also free to read unless they go premium. You could probably ask the author if they would ever do so though. Many authors have discords that you can join.

      I refute your vendetta against cows! They give us milk, cheese, cream, and countless other things!

      They are not playthings nor are they puppets, they are proud livestock animals that supply us with vital moo-trients and moo-tamins.

      Oh, I get it. You're a vegan who wishes to push your beliefs onto the rest of us! What about the cows who wish to be milked! Do you have any idea how painful it is for a cow not to be able to be milked? Did you know they can die from not being milked due to infection and inflammation? Hmph, I won't lactose tolerate this disregard against cows.

      As moo-mans we should have respect for moo-kind.

        Gamercat lol dude you are being ripped off the moment they add AD/WALL............. QIDIAN wants more money as it was the instruction of TENCENT to earn more money................... IT's a business but a shameless one...............

        I wonder why they don't implement per letter on SS instead of Per word.........

        for a site full of readers... some dont really look like they do any reading huh?
        like.... this forum has been on beta for quite some time now... wont they implement a better sorting of threads or something.... cause like this forum really needs a complaint section with all the posts popping up, while past threads of the same topic keep getting created and keep getting buried in some dark abyss

        Hell just let us pay a set amount to unlock all chapters of a novel from start to end based on total length
        Be upfront about charging 50$ for it instead of nickel and diming us to death

          Striking he should watch what he writes.... i wouldn't bother listening to someone, who talks to me like that as well....
          I really don't see why people cry and cry it is already known that from some point onwards translations have to be paid and that they aren't cheap... Either go buy those novels on amazon... I think some finished are published there... or read them slowly using the free SS or read originals or don't read anything here.... It is not as if they hide there price policy. it is visible to everyone and everyone can decide if he wants to stay here or not...
          Btw. i myself think that lower prizes or abo model would be good too! Authors want in the frist place as many readers as possible. I think it is better to create more money through more readers that pay less than through few who pay a lot. Bigger audience allows the authors to build a name for themselves making it easier to publish books later on... so it is a win-win....

            yk3 many of the novels that get translated are finished... you know the number of chapters! you know how much SS they want per 200 words... you know that a few chaps are free in the beginning so the reader has a chance to see if he likes the novel. So now tell me how can't you know the circa prizes of those novels?!? Yeah, they are expensive but saying you don't know what it might cost u is wrong! u simply ignore it because you can't stop reading!!!! and it is good that you want to pay 50 for it but they want more... because you don't pay only for you but you pay as well for those who read it for free SS...

              angkong rofl. That's priceless on a few different levels. And it's even realistic, or quite possibly optimistic.

                Gamercat dude, I'm sure QI only expects each registered person to read only one premium series at a time. So 1 premium, free (check if it's less that 100 chapters on novelupdates), then ad lock the rest.

                So if you have 18, you better start culling. Lots of us have when the paywalls came up.

                It's pretty funny they're starting rec posts, really. Increasing readership on a title if it's free or adwalled just makes it one step closer to a paywall. I don't care to participate in that nonsense, not when the dumb autounlock feature bugs out on me so often.

                Ply Ply has a point, stories with 1600+ chapters are basically novel diarrhea. Endless reams of text going nowhere. TV soap operas like The Guiding Light are over 15,000 episodes long and you will never enjoy a satisfying conclusion. $70 per month is an addiction. Consider putting your money to encouraging authors to write quality over quantity. Enjoy a story that reaches a conclusion that you can discuss the merits of, rather than complain about its cost.
                At least TV soap operas are free. Good novels like Game of Thrones stimulate intellectual conversation. All I read from posts of premium novel readers is endless complaining; authors and translators not meeting deadlines, cost of unlocking chapters or "filler, filler, filler", etc.
                At least with soap operas, commercials are sponsoring them giving me time for a quick bio!

                Well, nothing free it is? Everything come with a prize... The more pages u want to read, the more works to be done by the author or the translator...but, for a suggestion how about Qidian choose a day with a discount or any happy hour...btw, I understand your feeling when you got excited in reading but stuck at that pages because of money and so on..for me, what I will do is look for another story...hihi...it just my opinion...don't be mad at me ok
