Did some math on a novel that seems interesting. It goes premium very early so there is 1780 chapters that are premium out of 1901. Assuming that all chapters are 9 spirit stones (expecting some to be less and some to be more. Did 10 random chapters as a test for price and all was 9.) That requires an investment should one buy the required spirit stones, of 250 USD to read the whole novel here on Webnovel.

For the sake of argumentation, assume "free" spirit stones are being used on other novels in an effort to see if there is anything interesting that would make the prospects for reading til completion. So to get required spirit stones purchasing would be required.

So is it worth it ? 250 USD, is quite alot of money. It translates into roughly 0.14 USD pr chapter, but total cost for the content is very high. I could get the complete Wheel of Time series, Harry Potter and all Song of Ice and Fire books for that price. Or I could get around 100 ebooks on amazon, or 25 if you choose of the more expensive sort. I am looking to wonder what makes this novel worth this price because its quite the scary figure in order to read a webnovel to completion.

    Not even close. Although it’s a great read and it’s translation quality is very respectable the price is simply to high. (Truly regrettable, I made it through over 1400 chapters before it was locked, never to be finished on this site.)

      All premium novels are like this, some even 50 SS /CH.
      This particular novel is so-so, it was being TL for free on XXW before it was moved to WB after its existence, so those chs may be still somewhere else.

        Zhevons Since the Magus Era is deemed completed in translation to English, why not wait for the book title to have an ISBN number (published) and make a save legitimate purchase. From what i know, whatever chapters/contents that i have read in webnovel.com so far can be changed/edited without prior notice.
        Sorry mate, just googled and used translate in Baidu, the chinese title of the Magus Era is mentioned with a 'no' in 'whether to publish' column. https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%B7%AB%E7%A5%9E%E7%BA%AA
