harrisonxxi Do you even have 3-5000 of NEW chapters a month?!? Also, if so, can you really keep things straight in your mind? cuz if I read more than say 10-15 novels, it gets iffy at the pace of 1-2 chapters a day, it all starts to get mixed up there.
ELITE MEMBERSHIP

Make it $15 or less and I will subscribe. Otherwise, not worth it. Why?
Because you can't keep the novel with you once you unsubscribe (unless I'm misunderstanding something). They're not really yours to keep. So that cost is a lending cost.
Chapters that were unlocked during subscription should remain unlocked (for our entire library if not all books) then maybe $25 is OK (pricey but might be acceptable).
You want more people reading? More slices of a bigger pie? Reduce the cost barrier.
akaDEA I reread novels all the time, but typically Iβll go back and reread a whole series after a chunk of chapters comes out.
If you join today and its a monthly membership does the monthly subscription end 30 days from joining? Or it goes by whatever end date the month ends with?
February has 28 days this year so if i join today I could only take advantage of 24 days left in the month?
It's a good option if you were new to the system, and want to binge read lots of completed novels.
Otherwise, NOPE.
for me it is not worth it because im even looking for raw to read :-:
25 ripoff price. Qidian sucks.
il continue reading on pirate sites. they got all your originals now too.
@WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I bought the elite membershit three days ago, and it still isn't showing up.
RandomchaoS give us pay ticket
$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.

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.
