@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 )

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 whict is the normal comment ..oh its 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 their are a few other and i'll edit and them once found as i've been scrolling threu lots of stuff and lot's of things that were their 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 aftr 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'sa 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 dosen'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 companys 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 apost in the webnovel facebook page pointing out they is a problem with the stsrem 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 hopsted and based in Tencents HQ ie china's biddist internet company

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

Pizz a tad p'd off :(

    Dr_Zombie all ready sent but it not just 40 chapters from one but lots of others .. but cheers for telling me know about the pics

    Dr_Zombie it's a lag bug it seems, as I just pasted it unchanged and it all works, if you can read that 1st pic its a qi CSR going on about how great the web guys are ...lol

      I've now found even more missing chapters in books I look at and even took screen pics off, 5 days ago and webnovel is saying there is no problem
      one novel Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich has got more locked inks then 5 days ago
      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

        17 days later

        :( i hope they fix it i do like going back and reading books.

          They won't, it just happened again to me. Gourmet Food Supplier just randomly locked half it's chapters while leaving the other half unlocked. In a random splatter of locked and unlocked too.

          I really want to purchase SS to read ahead on some novels, but considering how I might unlock a bunch of chapters only for them to freaking lock again... and considering when I reported this, twice now, my emails just got ignored... Well, they are not getting any purchase money from me.

            it's due to the fact they forgot how the rolling ad system worked + staff being replaced that didn't how it worked I found out last week after shouting about it in the forums for a good from weeks, as I've been rowing about this for some time now ,
            they have in fact replied to my emails and I'm in the middle of talking to them but I did leave a week out due to the lunar holiday as the staff were off which to be fair to qi they did say and didn't hide the fact
            , I got an email back today asking for my id and list again even though I did send it with photos, but the odd thing is some answers they want I can't give due to their mistakes ..so this weekend email will be fun

              DC123 ps thats the same as my problem and its the rolling ad systems mistake and the fact qi even forgot how it worked ... and that comment is in this post
              https://forum.webnovel.com/d/19905-181-chapters-are-still-locked

              read it all mostly the end comments by qi's admin are were the real answers come in to play when he points out about the rolling ad system and the fact they forgot about it etc

                Pizz It's not really that they forget how they work. The person dealing with this matter is a new hire, so she's obviously not aware of the past policies. There are people of course who know of it, but the fact of the confusing rolling unlock might not be apparent unless you think very carefully of it. As of now, nothing is wrong, so I'm not sure what you are trying to get on about.

                You didn't watch the ad/pay 4SS back then, the chapters will be locked. Simple as that. No amount of EU laws you throw will be useful.

                • Pizz replied to this.

                  CKtalon
                  what I watched the ads I only watched the ads on the release day
                  i even made comments in here about why I got washing machine ads .....for like 4 weeks plus
                  so don't give me that also your own data you emailed me doesn't cover the dates which it should have
                  .so yeah that's called not looking at my data and that is covered by the EU law
                  looks like you don't, in fact, understand it and only now you talk to me
                  what about my to questions from the other post ... like what number ssm got a lock from as others aren't locked under 100
                  mine are 53-80/81 ish ..and by your own comments in here under 100 is never normally locked.

                  but you just blanked that when I asked and skip that post to answer the guys below

                  plus you can't even back up your own comment unless you can show me that data you lost as you DON'T HAVE IT, if you show me that data
                  I'll be happy to say I'm wrong but you only data you have that inc ad data starts 200 after my locked chapters .....

                  you keep saying I didn't unlock that SHOW ME ......
                  but once again I say you can't as you don't have the data that far back and that's YOUR FAULT NOT MINE
                  show me and I'll even happily say I'm wrong in here in a post ......
                  but it would be very odd if you could as you posted
                  you as you said you don't have the data

                  CKtalon plus its odd that others that logged in to the same book and watched ads didn't have theirs under 100 locked

                    CKtalon

                    ssm start date :Mar 04,2017


                    xls file sent by qi start date: with TKA 08/09/2017 01:23

                    THAT'S 2 ( and that's not inc the time when we joined as you only added the profiles in afterwards) MONTHS MIN MISSING FROM RELEASE OF BOOK TO THE DATA QI SENT ME re-ad unlocking

                    that's 2 months of YOUR MISTAKES MIN ( as I point out you didn't even have the profiles up until around July needing the signing in after beta )

                    NOT MINE, unless you are going to claim the qi emails a lie and the xls file is a fake that qi sent me

                    this is the start date QI sent me so how do you know I didn't unlock via watching ads...YOU CAN'T
                    as even if my joining date was listed as July the ad system was there and still unlocked my stuff from before then and I was also in beta under a diff name

                      Just tried with a new account and chapters locked for SSM start at 51. Which is where mine starts. Mine ends at chapter 84 with everything else unlocked. Now if I am following this correctly, I somehow spent over 1600 SS on the 400+ chapters since by using the skip ad with 4 SS button. Wow, I must be such a valued customer if so.

                        oh and oddly I can even find the date I used the qi app and loaded it as its listed on google play as I was slamming you as the 1st release has huge problems due to the amount of data it was mining

                        my comment is from early 2017 ...well be even the release of ssm

                        unless your going to say google play store is lying

                          DC123 yeah I can agree with that but before the release of the "new app" I had watched ads from 1 to the release before the locking, and even now I'm using stones to unlock the new chapters ...i have no problem with that
                          but why is it that others that I know as I run and admin an 8k fb cn novel group
                          who have those unlocked still, and this is after I told them about the book, i also have books in the missing time from my July profile data to the above qi emailed xls file above, locked > unlocked > locked > unlocked for about 20 chapters in other books , even in the xls file there are number mistakes on one book that they couldn't fix so made it a locked book to bypass trying to fix the error and CKralon was the one who told me that
                          and its not like I've not spent money as well to unlock and gift

                          and look at all the problems and errors with the elite sub ....
                          people are being refused refunds by apple even after qi telling them to get it from the apple

                          the whole way the site is run like a joke, they've lost data which even with CKralon saying it doesn't matter, yet it seems he's never read it as under the rules

                          1. You can challenge the accuracy of personal data held about you by an organisation, and ask for it to be corrected or deleted. This is known as the ‘right to rectification’. If your data is incomplete, you can ask for the organisation to complete it by adding more details.

                          2. You have the right to find out if an organisation is using or storing your personal data. This is called the right of access. You exercise this right by asking for a copy of the data, which is commonly known as making a ‘subject access request’.

                          I used 2 and they sent me an xls file from QI support, but it shows that they don't have full and complete

                          and I can now use number 1 = my ‘right to rectification’.
                          If your data is incomplete, and it's not
                          ( which it is due to a min of 2 months missing as shown by qi themselves not counting beta time )
                          you can ask for the organisation to complete it by adding more details.

                          ( ie give me back my missing data as in chapters I unlocked)

                          but it seems CKralon doesn't, in fact, understand this simple fact as I can show easily from the above that a min of 2 months is missing data ...
                          and being in China doesn't matter I checked before this started
                          I also have google data from my saved g+ dev's account showing logging info and other dates I've been on the site for longer as I beta tested on a diff accounts

                          and I know that will take time, but if I get bored I can always read everything on other sites for FREE but don't wish to oddly as i believe qi should make money but not rip people off
                          the thing is sometimes showing goodwill goes a long way...
                          but being problematic will corse bigger problems

                          and I say this as someone that runs an IT company and is fully gdpr compliant as I do it for other companies

                            Pizz Seriously? You are still harping on SSM? Every book locks chapters at different numbers. 100 is just a general rule of thumb, not the absolute.

                            Ads only got introduced 31 July 2017/early Aug 2017. That doesn't mean the ads for SSM was turned on during that period. It was a staged rollout for different books back then.

                            That means there is NO WAY for you to watch an add to unlock anything from Chapter 51 up to wherever the book actually started having ads, which is why they are locked.

                            Your date of 08/09/2017 of TKA matches that, as I said, ads started rolling out around 31 July/early Aug. So that's why there aren't any records for you because there was just no transactions possible prior to that.

                            You will need to provide proof of any inaccurate storage of data if you want to put up your claim. Just "I remember" "I think" doesn't count.

                            My point here is that I'm using facts to determine why it's impossible for you to have chapters unlocked which you keep erroneously imagining that you unlocked them simply from your memory of something that happened 1.5 years ago.

                              CKtalon So let me get this straight. We weren't given the option to watch ads at the time so we are not allowed to enjoy the benefit of having the chapter unlocked?

                              Firstly, you know, the main reason why the unlocked chapters from the ad system era carried over was to allow the legacy readers, aka the ones who read and supported the website from the very beginning, like me, to enjoy some benefits, for popularizing the website. Unless I am mistaken somehow.

                              Secondly, the chapters only locked AFTER I started using the Webnovel app and synced. I know this is the cause of the problems because I was reading both novels just fine on the website until I synced with the APP. SSM and Gourmet Food Supplier had most or all chapters just last month LONG AFTER THEY BECAME PREMIUM except the latest daily ones unlocked. UNTIL I SYNCED with the APP. Please read the words SYNCED and APP.

                              Thirdly, you still haven't addressed the fact that I somehow managed to read the chapters WITH ADS AND SS, and still have them lock themselves. You can say provide proof but honestly, the novel had ads over a year ago and I read them over a year ago. How do I prove something that you deleted yourself, since you only hold on to 6 months worth of history? I feel like the fact that the chapters are randomly locked and unlocked should be proof that there is a problem here. I mean, I can't exactly read a chapter with ads, then read the next chapter with no ads, then read the next chapter with ads again?

                              I do appreciate that you are taking your time to explain these things, but your explanations are not reasonable. You say you can't fix the problem, so direct us to someone who can?

                                CKtalon and in your own words in here your system is screwed by the rolling ad system,
                                it's not only ssm but its the only real reason I bothered to spend money on your company but after looking at the xls file and as it happens i know where I was for the last 2 years plus ...
                                working from home after an op and not even leaving my house,
                                so at 4/5pm most days unless I was remotely working on the same pc ..
                                i would be logged in to this site reading or remotely working on my hosting server on my pc

                                so please don't give me that you don't know where you were 1.5 yrs ago,
                                unhappily I 100% know where I was and still there due to the recovery time
                                may be that's why I read novels

                                  and in that time I was beta testing your 1st app, I also was posting on your 3 facebook sites you closed down due to all the bad comments, I was also on novel forums reading and screenshotting you CSR posts and talking to ggp before he sold it to you guys and I happen to know WW + vola and a lot of its tl'er as they happen to be in the FB group I run

                                  i can happily go on about most on the last few years as I've only been online as that's my life
                                  work and novels....or I'd have gone mad not being able to go out

                                    Pizz
                                    The system isn't screwed up. It's just the way it is. People who supported early on have the chapters unlocked for them permanently. Those who just read without making any transaction didn't do much. What they do beyond the reading activity is beyond the scope of this conversation.

                                    The fact that you stay at home all day really isn't proof that you actually did an unlock either. Were you reading the same books every single day. Or were you saying, "I'll put book A on hold, I'll read book B,C,D,E,F,... today"

                                    So after saying all that you've done, what do you exactly want? Brownie points to have those chapters unlocked? I've done way more for Webnovel, and I also have the same chapters locked. It's all about fairness to all. If you want, you could become a Facebook moderator and gain free SS. It's really up to you.

                                    But you keep wavering between "My memory is definitely right/data is wrong" and agreeing that it was the way the ad system worked that screwed you. I have no idea what's the point. The system is working as it is.
