Can you please make your chapters cheaper. I won't be spending my money on QI until you make your sites prices reasonable. Considering your company is from China... why are you ripping everyone off? Or do you dis-respect everyone and just charge outrages rates cause you hate anyone who's not from China?
I've spent nearly $500 on QI...

Dude you shouldn’t have spent that much in the first place! I’m even doubtful you spent the hat much...you’re not joking are you? Lol. With that’s much money imagine how many chapters I can buy in WW or books lol. I don’t be in the head off the curve
I used to have the same problem with certain streams. The videos were just too compelling I had to keep watching.

The amount of hate it a bit over the top I'm pissed at qi due to novels being locked when they shouldn't be and I've spoken to readers in my own FB readers group (8k in grp)
that read the same novel, but ranting that doesn't help your point out about the insane cost
they unlocked the same way yet there's aren't locked but mine still are and some under the 1st 100 chapters
, i fully understand your point as in China its a lot-lot less and they have a lot more novels, my Chinese mates
we're lol'd their arses off when I told them the costs,
yup there are extra costs qi / webnovel need to cover for tl the novels from cn to eng
( but then again they then have the rights for all other media ie comics or anime and can make that back without a problem if they wished very very easily )
but it is still over the top 280.00 a year when
its only $70.00 a year for unlimited fully finished books on Amazon kindle unlimited and they have jp/cn / kr novels
and the insane thing is it's not hard to find every novel here online somewhere else for free and within a few mins of its release, ( i own an IT company so as I said its not hard at all )
no, I'm not saying pirate stuff as I believe the writers etc should be paid as if you don't,
they will stop releasing work, which helps no one,
but qi is looking at the western market thru rose tinted glasses,
I've joked before its as if they want us to be pirates and like the film's it's a game of wok a mole
you close one site 3-5 open up to replace them
PS @CKtalon nice you answered one of the others guys in the post we were in before about missing chapters but why can't you answer those 2 questions I left about the chapter starting points etc as I was thinking we were, in fact, getting somewhere after you said it had saddened you we couldn't agree on things but here i was thinking in fact after that we had slowly like the fact you and your devs forgot how your own ad wall system worked , which you were the one to point out

Pizz same the only reason I'm still paying Is because shortly before my limit was reached and I go pirate the novels (seriously if ur prices are shit idc and tbh if u don't lower the cost soon I doubt many people will continue to pay for 3 simple reasons
They simply don't have the amount 25$/€ is actually a lot if u consider u get Amazon Prime for 60€ a YEAR and the benefits are way more then what u can offer, yeah but Netflix is still 15€ or so ... sure I think 4 ppl can watch in 4k or so (not like it's that difficult to share a webnovel account, it's just ur last chapter and reading list will probably fucked up)
There are enough alternatives (like the pizz(a) guy said either u go to kindle unlimited some pirate website, or wuxiaworld) if u really just like 2-3 novels u can simply read them with the free spirit stones and just don't care and read more books for way less money on other sites
Let's be real, the quality of webnovels and translation is usually not that high, the only thing that make up for it is sheer quantity ... and if u really expect ppl to pay the same price like a hardcopy book for a webnovel ur really dumb ...
The only reason I'm willing to pay atm is my beliefe u care a little bit and make affordable entertainment in the future and make people happy
So I will watch this for 6 more months and after that I probably spend a 1000€ on this site, and if the prices are still shit I just go and pirate, because although I believe u should pay for ur services, if someone tries to ripe u off and keeps being greedy af, I don't really mind ...
And I'm speaking as one of the people who get their account through a code from an author ... so I'm here since the beginning and saw the whole fiesta

StokesEta I think you wanted to CKtalon and not me :)
as I agree with you plus saying the same things for ages now as I've also been on this roller-coaster ride from the bs on novel updates
btw looks like your EU as well, rem about the gdpr rules
have you notice the site or app inst's compliant still

If only they added better novels... Now they are letting us vote for whats next, which is a terrible idea, although it has some benefits...And of course, the freaking bastion of stupidity that is harem, LLS, is probably going to be the first to be added. In all honestly, they should add unique novels more than generic ones..
I know writing is hard, but there's no excuse to upload the same thing every time.
Out of all the novels in the parent site, you can't tell me there isn't a unique one. I would recommend a novel, but I can't find any ones that stick out, I'm just reading to kill time now.
If you guys have any interesting novels that deviate from the norm, even the slightest, please @ me.
$500 and €1000? Damn, that's kinda amazing in its own way. Its like going to the store and paying $30 for shit-tier top ramen.

500$ I got my Nintendo switch and a game. Was less ....500$
500$ I can paid my car assurance for 3 month...
500$ I can paid my cellphone 6 month...
I think I can get less than 500$ for Cuba and Mexico hm....
Peaches and the ramen will be better in the long run as it will be made from top quilty ingredients, and lovingly made by a chef that cares about the finished quilty of the dish and service will listen to you, help if you wish for an extra topping or glass of water without telling your wrong or will in fact answer questions asked about what's best
to go with it
Pizz I don't know how an assembly line is gonna listen to you because Top Ramen is instant ramen from a Japanese company. It's either me not getting the joke or my nitpickiness on what you just said. Also, it's the go-to food for college students who're strapped on cash. It's either r/woooosh to me or you.

i'm talking about a good ramen restaurant or a stand like I've been too in real life, but even good instant ramen, can be added too, oddly I just happen to have cooked basic ramen noodles for dinner, but add chopped spring onions, chopped pork, cherry tomatoes, with garlic and chilli oil homemade,
( i have to make a lot of eastern food for myself as I'm Anaphylaxic to sesame seeds/oil and it's that bad I have to carry 2 x epipens to stop my Anaphylactic shock )
if I'd known you were going to comment, I would have taken a photo for you
and even with "cheap" noodles ( and the noodles were, in fact, cheaper then about 3 chapter unlocks on this site )
we have pre-made ramen from Japan but not one called Top Ramen were I live , so that may have been the confusion also rem even after being a college student, people will still eat it
DarkImmortal_Intel go with the elite subscription and you can read all the novel.
headdesks it was just an analogy guys. Shit-tier top ramen goes for $1 at the grocery store, and tastes like MSG and grease (any college student will know the kind im talking about). Paying for the novels on this site is akin to paying $30 for that kind of food.
About prices for Chinese qidian version -
"1 dollar will get you approx 48 chapters. That's not so bad lol although if you read a ton you might find yourself paying too much money since its not a flat rate" - from novelupdates forum. Examples here - https://forum.webnovel.com/d/4167-original-pay-system-of-qidian/2
Last novels that I checked have 400 - 1.5k chapters. Webnovels translation very low quality (ofc it depend on novel) and in some novels translators just remove part of content or change it.
DarkPriest hm? Elite subscription?
