ELITE MEMBERSHIP
$25 for a sub is ridiculous, but if webnovel priced this with the thought that people will binge read then unsub, I guess it makes sense.
Its just that $25 outprices all other sub options in america that I know of.
Its nearly 3x as expensive as amazon prime
It's more expensive than nexflix, weekly shonen jump. My vpn fee, loot crate, etc.
It's just flat out expensive when it comes to sub fees in general.
Yuki_Qing Somehow... Even tho' i already buy google voucher... Enough for the discounted price... The app still tell me that it's insufficient... I wanna cry
phantomizer31 erm, do you mean you buy ss or buy elite subscription (cause elite will unlock all novel/comic for 1 month). lol, my ss always not enough..
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Its been over a day since I paid for subscription and i still haven't gotten word on it.
Order ID: MS6B17NN60
Sorry I posted the pay ticket here: https://forum.webnovel.com/d/20049-elite-membership-not-working/12
Congratulations WEBNOVEL
Normal Subscription System = pay to borrow
Count down = 1 month
Right now
$25 half price > full price
Oh yes
don't forget exchange rate!
Pros = Unlock books for 1 month
Cons = Money becomes like a log in a river rage.
Conclusion= Only Whales, Sharks & those who love subscriptions will fave it.
I'm only a child who lives in a shoe house not a whale with a money tree. This does not concern me.
How does this effect the authors? Do they still get paid the same amount?
LastError The price point is ridiculous. Amazon Prime is $12/month, and that gives you Kindle Unlimited, Amazon Video, and free shipping on online orders. Netflix is about $11/month for unlimited streaming. By way of comparison, Webnovel provides translations and originals of extremely variable quality, dubious frequency of releases, and uselessly inflated reviews ... why is this supposed to be worth $25/month? If Netflix can make bank with their 11/month price, while producing top quality originals, tell me why Webnovels can't make plenty of bank off their content which requires minimal resources? They're asking too much for too little in return, and as LittleSleepyFox aptly outlined, they stand to make way more money (and hopefully pass it along to the authors and translators, giving them incentive to step up their game) if they charge a more reasonable price.
SweetLychee lol at the poem you ended with. I'm gonna steal that.
I understand that Elite Membership is good for phones and tablets. Does this also include computer use? Is it just like a subscription that is good across all platforms? I easily spend $34.50 USD or more per month. This is my entertainment, since I really don't watch TV even though we have subscriptions to Netflix, Viki, Hulu, etc. for the rest of the family. Yes, it is pricier than KU but I get to read novels from China v. what's available on KU. WebNovel and Qidian do a better job translating than the other free Chinese webnovel sites, where the names of the same characters may change 2 to 3 times within the same chapter creating confusion. I don't mind supporting the authors, since they work hard to create immersive stories.
CestVraimentMoi Did you just forget that Amazon has the reedits of the books found here (aka better editions) and they did the whole promo here on that?
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL what is the 3 day free trial that is mentioned?
4everyoung I guess they do not consider this fact. Sad. I subscribed today and it says it will be auto renewed on 14th march.. which makes it just 27 days since 1 day goes for activation as well. I am ignoring all these just because I binge read and hope to make use of the discounted price within 2 or 3 weeks . On an average I spend around the same amount for SS and use it all in a week or 2. So I guess this is fine. But if you aren't a binge reader .. probably $25 is too much.!!
Also @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL @Webnoveldeveloper PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE 30 DAYS OPTION. This subscription is considering a month and not 30days -.-
i actually wish the unlock chapter stay unlock after the premium duration...
Just a little question on elite membership account .
Where can I use SS to unlock the chapter like before going elite?
Can it be done in per chapter basis like in non-elite account or do I need to use auto unlock option to spend those daily SS?
LittleSleepyFox Yup. Totally agree with you on this. Crunchyroll also has options on how much you want to pay for how much anime access you want to get. 50% if only for the first month. $25 or $24.99 is way too expensive for poor little readers. Plus, it kept locking the previous unlocked chapters bought by using oneβs SS. If it was less than $10, it would surely draw in more users to sign up. Just too much ...
