Yeah they tryna get your hopes up!
Not only that but the Novel has to be good, writing 3 at same time would be like a huge burden lol
I can’t even imagine doing something like that, my brain would be fried
【Important Announcement】Monthly Elite subscriptions adjustment
ThyUnknownSaint lol. Agreed
ThyUnknownSaint so with that agreement i believe we should all just point and laugh at wn's blatant stupidity
kimnomat you may want to try this theres lot of story with links to the original translation. https://www.novelupdates.com/series-ranking/
Are we dying off? I guess we know the mindless Husks at the main office have stopped caring about us.
Bump
Kuromeru666 I mean, a real book also doesn't have millions of words. While you can argue that a lot of those books have fillers, you also can't seriously expect a work with millions of words to be priced the same as a 100k word book. That's a tad bit excessive.
Wn prices are based on word count. A 100k word book on wn would boil down to roughly 10$. I'm inclined to say that on western standards, that's theoretically fair. The problem is, because people are by nature greedy, they will always try to milk the system. Thus, fillers...
Still, I don't know what you read, but if you say Issth (for example) should cost 25 bucks. I'm sorry to say I can only disagree.
BlissfulDeath but a real book cost money to print, promote, etc. That why it is listed at those price here webnovel just act as a promoter.
The price is definitely a bit higher than it should be also they are starting to put the paywall early on all books increasing the cost slowly each day.
por_tal BlissfulDeath may i say i agree with both of your points but in this day and age they is an easy option epubs , I've said this so many times to qi/wn its a joke , they can sell the chapters as normal , but at the end of the book they can release an epub .. as all the tl work is done already etc the artwork for cover is done ( unless they used a stolen one which has happened in the past ) this way the in fact gain more as they can wait a year before release so people will still buy stones to read it but after that year as I said to sell the book, they only think they will live or die by selling ss's which is a total joke , i can also think of other ways of easy money as i own and run a company ,
Pizz por_tal BlissfulDeath
BlissfulDeath Your post is fairly well reasoned but inherintly flawed as por_tal has pointed out, while yes the word count is boosted with web works, but there are as you said, alot of fluffing (fillers) as well as major grammatical, spelling, plot and continuity issues with a large number of works on webnovel. Then there is the material and human involvement, unless a major incident occurs, a real book can last dozens, if not hundreds of years, without the internet, or just electricity how valueable is the book on any app lol. And we are also only leasing the usage of the novel here, they can take back that permission at any time.
And as Pizz has stated, there are other and better ways to handle alot of the issues we have mentioned, yet webnovel has stuck to pushing us to buying SS more often than should be necessary
The first version with the small advertisements to read the chapter was the best now I found a other site free to read Webnovel bye
Mouna haha. Good good. I recommended boxnovel and wuxianovel
Pizz what type of company?
ThyUnknownSaint IT service's from hardware software inc, I build servers, building plus host websites also deal with google ad words and advertising etc, but I also have a background in films and tv ( with credits ), and also run a wuxia group with over 8.5k members and help other sites/writer's to help promo their new releases if they are part of my group or sites like WW or vola , and i've been doing it for same time as you could class me as an older reader on the higher side of that as well , why did you ask ?
Pizz
I’ve been lurking in the forums and noticed ya, so just got curious hehe lol
Tryna keep forum post alive with small talk you know?
But wow that’s cool! I wasn’t expecting big-shots here
- Edited
ThyUnknownSaint lol, I'm not a big shot I just happen to be around a bit of time in the background and chat to people and get to know good tl teams then better run sites
but I hate any companies that treat their clients like fools thinking they can just rip people off when there are so many ways to make cash and not keep to their great claims from over 4yrs ago, which I have full records of via screen grabs and they have no face, to be honest,
its like 2 days ago I found a bug again on the site with the inbox but it still worked on the phone but now its broken on the phone so I've lost 2yrs of my inbox ... again, and it gets so boring
Just giving us the option to watch ads to reduce a chapter price by 50-100% would probably lessen the hatred the community is starting to build up.
It was there before but they removed it and to guess why, it probaly because it was to much work to find the ads. Now they just go with the mentality of you don't want to pay for ss then basically gtfo lol.
por_tal reduced ss prices. Or ANY way to make it cheaper would solve many complaints
But mostly a subscription would do it. Many of us are binge readers when we find a novel we like so the cost would still be outrageous
