So many of the novels with an abundance of chapters have locks placed on them. Mainly costing between 9-17 SS, while you can only get at most if your lucky 13 a day. If it was the latest 100-200 chapters I wouldn't mind but it covers over 800 chapters. Is this website going full pay 2 read? If so I am out and hope that this eventually doesn't get listed on novel updates if this is whats getting shoved into users face when they arrive.. Hope whoever else hangs around enjoys it I guess.
Why?

After a certain number of chapters, a novel goes premium and the "price tags" 
on them are based on the length of each chapter. Looks like the novels you are reading have long chapters that's why it is amounting to that number of Spirit Stones per chapter. 
You can get more Spirit Stones every day by checking-in (though sometimes it just gives a useless XP), voting on what's next with Energy Stones, giving Power Stones to your favorite novel and inviting people.

The low price become annoyingly expensive when you are addictive to several novel.

That is true. The struggle is real.

It's because the site wants you to create Alt accounts so they can use it to brag on other sites about their fake user base. Now you may question that all those free SS you can give authors a good raise in money, however, Guess what the reason they don't crack down on alt accounts to start with is 1. To show that they have high population and 2. Free SS don't give the slaves ( Authors ) any money at all only paid SS do as said in their contract section 5.3 as I last seen it.

Translated novels will likely always go premium. As far as I'm aware, novels that get translated are already premium in China. I don't think that they'd select not-contracted novels to translate, nor would they even have the rights to translate non-contracted novels, so it makes sense all translated eventually go premium.
The original novels section is likely more similar to the actual system they have in China. Only contracted original novels will go premium, whereas most original novels won't. Granted, if an original novel is popular then it is very likely to get contracted. However, some authors state they won't contract their books even if offered, so there will always be some decent ones that are completely free. Off the top of my head, Daedalus comes to mind. It used to always place top 10 in the rankings. However, the author stopped updating it a few months ago. From what I've seen, it seems like a lot of popupar non-contracted novels get dropped with the author just suddenly disappearing. So I think contracts are actually a good thing. But I'm biased since I'm contracted =p
Thanks for the responses and suggestions!

FirmlyGraspIt Surely it does confuse new readers. There are good novels in here but quite tricky because of the locked chapters.
