can I get my missing chapters after you lock SSM I've lost over 40 chapters all ad-based and I can now prove you have a software bug re my data, and as I live in the EU, I need to point out your not in anyway GDPR compliant
and the missing chapters is an ad based bug so I'll like them all back, in from my other books .... please read the post below, and it's long but sorry this is a joke if not I will report you and it doesn't matter you in China if you wish to trade in the EU

@WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL @Webnoveldeveloper @CKtalon

Now I know 100 %, you have a huge AD unlock bug after making SSM locked today as I've had 40+ chapters in the middle re-locked and to unlock them you want 17-19 ss when I used ad's to unlock them

I've read SSM since DAY ONE it was the only reason I come to webnovel after all the bad blood and misleading comments about your plans for the site on the novelupdates website and its mega-post, and if you don't rem here's some of your CSR comments ( this one is claiming you have the world best website and app coders as I own an IT company I'd have to disagree a bit )

Imgur

as it happens I always believed you should off course make money as the ad unlock was a great idea as I used it for 99% of the time on SSM and the others listed below,
I even bought and sat on stones for over a year before I could start gifting to SSM due to all the website and app due ,,, I remind you about your CSR comment above in the meantime I have bought other stones to unlock things like TKA / RTW
and other books but ones I could use ad's to unlock I always did

now about my comment as to why i can say i logged in every day apart from maybe 1-2 due to illness
i started to joke about with the SSM team ie before Subudai11 changed his handle to AL_Squad as I said to them I was bored with just saying thank you in the normal way, so every few days I used to use google 's tl tool too say it in languages from around the world like those 2 screen pic's

so I got to know our little SSM sect very well inc when
Assassin's Chronicle Progress hit 580/580 and finished I posted I'll go fish some new readers
so I said ty to the tl team as I was also reading that book and I left a come to SSM next message
which worked and got new people

and now we get to the other books which I've already told you about in the thread called "Chapters locked again"
and once again pointed out you had an "AD DATA BUG" due to the way you used ad's to unlock chapters on the website

not being shown on the historical account pages I even said it really should be added I commented in here in a post and on you webnovel page, then being told it was too hard....once again please read your own CSR's word about having the best coders
Now below is a cut and paste of my chat with CKtalon, after for ages being told, it was impossible to get the old data past 6 mths and he suddenly saying, in fact, you could, the post below is from the "Chapters locked again"
so I just cut it over from my other post to point out it's not just SSM that is the problem
( but SSM, this is the biggest hit 40+ chapters in the middle of an ad-free to unlock novel I somehow think I wouldn't miss that many in fact I'd to be blind to miss all of those in one go as you remember I do log in every day, but it seems for a smaller number of missing chapters it must be you is the normal reply which is the normal comment ..oh it's you, you must have missed one ...but 40 missing hmm yeah right oh one sec, I need my white stick and dog before I go on to the next bit ..)

( using them ------- to show the start and end of the post) ( if you wish to see the quick comment before were I'm told you can see your data that we were told was impossible please check the one i listed here but there are a few other and I'll edit and them once found as I've been scrolling through lots of stuff and lot's of things that were there like my comments with in they 40 locked chapters have all gone and your inbox only keeps a year and my last post was from the SSM team )

-------------5 days ago edited

@CKtalon ok I've had a lot on but those are the novels we spoke about and you said a dev can check past ie past that cut of date after that 6mths

1: The Nine Cauldrons I've got locked and unlock all over the place and there is no way I'd unlock 1 chapter then miss 3-4 then unlock 2/3, then miss 5-7 only to unlock few odd chapters yet again ..sorry but no way that would happen and I know I did stop I think about 120-30 due to cost but before that I used adds and freestones

2:
MMORPG: Martial Gamer
once again huge unlocks then 2-3 locked, then huge unlock well past 369...once again ads and freestones as my last unlock was 22/08 and I cross-checked my whole list ...and
MMORPG: Martial Gamer doesn't show up once before or after ...so as I pointed out before I used free ss or ad's as YOUR SYSTEM DOSEN'T COUNT THEM

3Lord Xue Ying,
now this one's fun as I can see I used some paid for stones in the history,
but then I get huge gaps of unlocked up to Chapter 569: Killing!

4: Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich once again huge unlocks then 1 chapter locked in odd places

so it proves without a problem, your system upgrade did screw up chapters due to ads and some freestones

there are a few other novels but they should also show up as you check as I have over 25-30,
some fully finished and they aren't a problem but others are

I've read comic's / manga novels jp/cn/kr's for over 30yrs+ and I work in IT building and fixing servers and o/s ..... and there is no way you or the devs can tell me there isn't a problem

if it needs to be I'll ask for my gdpr compliance under EU law, which means you have to show me all my data.. even if you are in China as your trading in the EU, ( yeah I even know you are hosted off Tencents main ip as I geoip traced you) just in case some at Tencent has forgotten what the GDPR is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation

as I said I'm not a 13year old who just started reading and easy to be brushed off,

it also doesn't help think i can't do any reading of my 2 main novels so I'm a little hmmm and also I've been doing your devs work in the beta testing bit tell people how to install your new app and its bugs

I do hope this can be fixed -------------------

I have read SSM from day one left a comment here or on TKA / RTW / and my best one was when AC finishes I posted above

now here's the start and end of my huge amount of unlocked chapters

as you see they are all locked ...and on an ad watch novel before today, just put my stick down and patting my dog
as I don't want to shock the dog as I now show you the average cost to re-unlock the ad-free chapters

so unless it's my stick and my dog
( in fact, I have a great German Shephard puppy who I should be playing with as I'm not as I'm having to deal with this ),
as I said before I've tried reporting it to you in the forums and had unanswered emails this was why in a chat with
@webdev I was waiting to be told what email I should use so it didn't get lost yet again in "Chapters locked again",
it's your system that's screwed up but I think we're well past that point I think as there is no way it's a mistake on my side and it's been happening to everyone ............ not just me and the dog as I've been saying for ages now
I do have other photos but I'm going to try and save some space or myself and the dog would be able to get out of the forums
now it's really easy to check my story or info as I said I used to talk to the teams all the time and others who only read that book

so what next @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL @Webnoveldeveloper @CKtalon

as I pointed out in my other post , the EU / GDPR doesn't like data problems with peoples info even if you servers run of Tencent's main ip in China,
in fact, your not even GDPR ready to dor compliance if your trading in the EU as google just found out and a few other companies are about too
now I'm happy to help you as I said I'm 99% sure it's due to a code mistake when dealing with the ad/ video unlocks,
I did post in here and make a post in the webnovel facebook page pointing out they are a problem with the storey and even said why do you add them and got told you can , we'll once again i point you towards the 1st pick and comment and the fact you hosted and based in Tencents HQ ie china's biggest internet company

one last thing I'll say is that their a few more novel that I didn't list due to time and was in a CBA mood, but would like those missing chapters back, as there is no way you can say this is working,

Pizz a tad p'd off :(

well after my post above, I've now found even more missing chapters in a book I look at and even took screen pics off,
and webnovel is saying there is no problem one novel Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich has got more locked then 5 days ago and i took screen pic's
also The Nine Cauldrons the lower levels are now locked on / lock off/lock on / lock off/lock on / lock off then a few unlocked ... then a few locked ...
this is total insanity I can't look at the others or I may lose it in rage mode yet again

I can understand the reason why Webnovel goes with the membership option, because authors and translators are also humans in need of a paycheck. So this too me is a good step forward.

But then again, there is the need to understand the targeted audience. I 'believe' the greatest audience is younger people, followed by slightly older generations.

Most younger people can afford the cost without their parents help. So shouldn't their be some kind of price regulations depending on the age?

For example:
Younger than 18 = 9,99 $
Older than 18 = 24,99 $

If one think about the greater picture, Webnovel may seem greedy, but they are also providing a great platform for us to use.

Of course this are my personal opinion, and I know there are people who thinks that times was better before Qidian came into the calculation.
