      Pizz lmao, we've always beta tested and CSR'ed for them whenever there's an update. Just look at all the threads that were answered by regular users.

      Historically, there's always a problem when a big update goes live and as usual, you can't find official support anywhere for normal problems.

      • Pizz replied to this.

        MaryFord yup and its good to have info out, as it seems you aren't from EU or you'd know why its good to make that point but my comment would be no use to you if your not and if I'm wrong and you are EU that damn learn your rights, so no need to lmao when you don't know the whole, it then becomes a waste of typing, and reading your wall posts and replies .."western prices etc oh and they are not normal prices in the west its insane pricing just so you know ) ,, tells me your not EU so its a pity. you did waste your typing for something you can't take advantage of

          Pizz I know about GDPR even though I am in the US because of the Sony data breach. I'm only laughing on the whole CSR thing because I've done the same thing myself and know that the people working the bug forums are not flexible in understanding people's problems. The burden of proof and explaining the steps how the bug happened is on the user. I know this is a problem for everyone affected by the relocks as all the unlock history is in this website that you can't DL easily and a bug can destroy all that. I know that they have run the relocking at least 4 different times and I've seen someone posting that their chapters got relocked every time. I'm not surprised if yours did because people have noted that unlocks on discount days might be affected as well as old ad-based unlocks. Mine doesn't have that issue on the books I really follow so I can't help out on that fight.

          As for pricing, I'm aware it's expensive for entertainment in general. However, the pricing is comparable to F2P MMO pricing in Western servers rather than Southeast Asia (hell, even cheaper at times). Webnovel has always priced itself for Western consumption ever since premium started, which is weird because the labor seems to primarily come from SEA so you know they can price cheaper. Their events have been in SEA thus far. This means they've priced out that audience for this subscription model.

          That's why I find it hard to care about the premium system these days ever since I saw that it was based on the old, voluntary patreon donations. I know they will price higher for no real reason but monopoly. They finally did the subscription-based system that many have criticized premium for. However, they've shown to me that there is no business plan to grow this as younger readers are priced out. Hell, I was even looking for a long trial period to see how bad it is because I know there will be bugs and as expected of webnovel, nothing.

          That price is definitely not based on other competing forms of entertainment like Prime but on the survey and their data. Hell, if I find out that their ebooks go free with Amazon Prime, I will laugh because Prime is cheaper.

          That's why we vote with our wallets. However, the problem is that the site has accumulated enough people for you and I not to matter anymore.

            MaryFord cool, i can a agree with a lot of what you've said, but the good thing are the rules for GDPR they need to show all the data, and can't get out of it which will also show up my missing stuff of fines and yup the EU happens to love them as Googles just been hit by a $57 Million For GDPR Violations on the 21 of this month and a few other companies are waiting for theirs soon and even in the UK facebooks being looked at for breaking the law due to a girl killing herself in the last week ,
            so I'm just going to ask for my EU right to data, which as its now been admitted to the same data from before the update that locked stuff they claimed they didn't have,
            yet suddenly find and in the above post that I've copied saying they will and can look thru, and think of it this way as I'm sure you know Tencent is, in fact, the owners of QI,
            i'm sure Tencent will like more problems being that they are having problems with games in China,
            i just want what I've paid for and if you watched ads you did pay as they took that fee for unlocking the chapter, plus just in case for the odd stones I paid for, as I'd like to trust qi but more and more it is shown you can't, which is a pity

                  Hi ,
                  what's the best email to contact you on as I don't wish to post it the forums

                  also I have emailed in the past and no one ever replied to it, but that was ages ago

                  Thanks

                  Ps on the off chance any idea why Versatile Mage been locked as I've been happily waiting with paid for stones to get past 259 but most of it is locked and over 25 days no release plus I read up to 259 on both here and gt before the lock which was without warning , + my 2 other main novels haven't been updated yet I was even told on your wb FB pages we should be getting releases ..didn't happen
                  yeah i don't want the 24.99 deal, but I'm happy to buy stones as I have been unlocking in the past and gifting to my other novels but I've got nada to read as I only follow a few novels at a time

                    Ariankentara i doubt it... I stopped sending them emails bec no one answers and they dont fix what needs to be fixed...the frustration is not worth it. Best thing to do is, once chapters are locked, move on to alternative sites like wuxiaworld to continue reading.. It worked for me lolz 😁
