Also received only 20 XP today.
Qidian will make spirit stones buyable only.
I did not get SS for checking in today either. Not liking this new system / "bug" / whatever else they might be calling this.
Well, spirit stones aren't worth buying at the moment since quidian re-locks chapters after they fall off your visible history.
The recent changes in spirit stones given out show 2 things. 1, quidian no longer is focusing on growing their reader base. Amd 2, quidian.is now shifting to trying to force money out of its current users. With chapter prices from 12-17 a chapter, and only being garanteed 10 from the votes, there will soon be days where users cant read any of their current reading list without spending money b
I have been on this app for over a year yet my history only covers the last 6 months. So no I can't get a screenshot showing how I paid to unlock.something 8 months ago.
Once Strongest System ( the only noves i read here) finishes I'm out. Only reason I'm still here is because of awesome translator of that novel. this site is a cancer for the community. You can easily find sites that repost their novels elsewhere
Are you a man or woman with great taste?
Then read my new novel, with daily chapters and more than 1300 words, some Grammar mistakes in first three chapters.

KuhakuORIGIN i'm so pissed at the friend invite thing!! we used to get 100SS for succesful invites which are super hard since not all your friends are chinese webnovel addicts and willing to make an account! and now we get HALF THAT for the SAME TROUBLE!! plz qidian at least leave friend invites at 100SS
Cant really complain its been free shit ever since this site appeared. Honestly if theyd just put all novels behind paywalls which could be unlocked with 5$/monthly sub that would be for the best. I would be 100% willing to pay couple bucks just to read novels in their original site.
Could even go as far as to keep the free plebstones to lure readers in; maybe distribute just enough to keep 1 premium novel afloat with the free stones somehow so when they want another novel to read would need to pay the couple bucks.
Even adapting system like forum currency with the free stones would be possible and would probably end up only further expanding this community which would play right into their hands.
sometimes sign in and video watching just straight up gives you nothing despite it saying you got some ss. Does this company even understand economics... oh right they are communists. They cant understand shit snd only care about taking money away from those that have it.
Haha got 20 exp as well. This is so ridiculous that it makes me laugh
I wanna say something...

Lvl 7 just a myth...
yeah! and watching video since the update always gives me a single digit spirit stones. It'd be a miracle if I ever got 13 or 15 now. Daily sign in would give a stable 8 or 9 lol. And now the invite... smh
I wouldn't even be surprise if they remove the ss we got by voting on energy stones and power stones
I come back to tell ya they wont make a monthly sub. We ask for this since the begning, but they don't give shit cos there people willing to buy SS, to defend this stupid system. Don't botehr asking it again.
Gilhena I've also been around for a year or so and I wanna point it that I'm still a student and have no money for this sort of stuffs and only relues on free spurit stones. The fact that they relock chapters is so frustrating. Half the stories in my library can't be read since I don't have the stones for it.
Hot damn I was away for a bit because of irl, didn't expect so many replies.
I agree with the monthly subscription thing, if done well I would probably buy it.
Such as: Paying 10$ a month to be able to read like 5 selected premium novels (you can select the novels yourself)
would be a godly idea in my opinion, I wouldn't mind buying that.
Maybe even change the daily thing so that you can CHOOSE if you get powerstones, xp, or SS from it.
They probably wouldn't completely erase SS, but make it significantly harder to get them.
Thank you everyone for your replies!
KuhakuORIGIN But hey doing a monthly subscription means that they have less money to earn so that'll never happen unless people stop buying ss
I really miss those ad-walled chapters. I would see hundreds of ads with no problem, but I simply cannot buy SS. If things keep on going south like this, then I just won't have enough to read what I like.
Not to mention most of the novels I follow have been having really crappy translation speeds, or seem to have been droped entirely, with no warning to the readers.
I wonder if Webnovel is having money issues and being unable to properly pay the bills, like paying the translators and editors? That would explain why things seem to have been developing towards "milking the comunity".
Of course, we will never get an answer if this is the case, since the contract forbid them from doing it...

Oh. Maybe verifying your information is how to get SS from the Check-In.
Webnovel verifies info to prevent people from taking advantage of multiple accounts.
just an idea
