Floofuzz In my opinion ( and sorry if it offends people) that for the authors who’s income decreased was because there novels were not good enough and that’s saying it nicely and saying it bluntly they were crap
【Important Announcement】Monthly Elite subscriptions adjustment
Tempesthorne Or we can just go to sites we’re all of the translations are completely free and say screw it since we pay so much money to read only a dozen or so chapters before the subscription id rather just go buy whole books or read these same novels free elsewhere but I prefere supporting the authors I like but can’t do it if it’s always getting more expensive like this

I only know about the cancellation of subscription today because I cant renew it. I bought the premium sub because i too lazy to buy ss everytime i wanna read. To be honest, most original novel were write by amateur author.. It kind of impossible for me to splurge on them if not for the subscription. So, sorry for the original novel in my lib, gonna drop u now.. Dear author, u wanna blame someone, blame on the @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL . U know what? I dont want to buy any Ss anymore, I protest!!! Erghh.... really ticked me off.. No notice at all, u think everyone open the forum????? So unprofessional!!
Decadence1 I use Novel Updates to search for others novel. Most of them are free on other sites. Of course they have the official pages for the translations (some of the novel here were free on other sites before they got licensed).
Search for others novels there are so many good novels everywhere. I liked quidian because I got regulary updates but I won't spend 50$ or more again for it per month.
LadyCallys i read more than 20 novels and drop half of it. TT_TT i pick the one that i wanna read the most. Down to only 10 novels. Hikz
So the money I spent was essentially webnovel stealing from me, as all the chapters I have read while on subscription are now locked again. I must say, this move of yours really disappointed and enraged me.
Decadence1 Google fictionpress, fanfiction.net, Kindle unlimited. Project Gutenberg. All the above have so much more to read that you will never run out of and all are either free or minimal subscription that's easily cheaper than Qi sub was for a miniscule selection in comparison.
There is a very simple solution to this for me bye bye Webnovel app. I will check back in a few months to see if you have re thought the subscriptions.

I thought that the subscription was staying and donated all of my ss, and now I won't be able to read most of my novels without spending a fortune. I want my subscription back.
NightFoxxFan I still pay in some sites like patreon to read a novel but it's just 1. Do you know if Moboreader is a subscription base?
For the people complaining about not being able to reread stuff.
Do you expect to be able to watch movies or series that you've watched on Netflix too if you cancel your Netflix subscription?
That said I'm not happy at all with elite subscription shutdown, and this is hardly about some translators and authors earning less money as much as qidian figuring out they earn less money from SS sales.
Hello I received no notification of the removal of elite service. So I think every elite member account should have every book unlock to this date.
My elite subscription is over :(
driele I agree entirely with you, and if maybe the game had different sizes of rewards which gave larger amounts of ss that would be helpful to all the people who don't have the cash to buy ss and make it relatively more easy for people like us to read the books we want to read and or continue reading
Spfere for myself, I personally love to go back and either reread a part or the whole book again, and with the elite membership it let me finish a book that I was reading, but since the membership ended(I hadn't bought it again in the past due to being broke) I havnt been able to go back and reread them and am having to go and spend more ss to unlock them again to reread them
This sucks. If there is no membership I cant see how it's worth it to use this site. Trying to buy as just ends up costing too much. At least with the subscription I could read all I wanted to.

Why lock those chapters that have been unlocked already within the period of our subscription. I'm expecting that only those chapters posted after our subscription expires will be locked. Please review your data and make the necessary adjustments for your readers too.
And the rest of the chapters we once read has been locked??? Seriously?!! Dude we paid for the subscription! We should at least able to access what has already been read right?!

For reference look upto the system of WebComics. They use a coin and gem system . Important points are :
◆ u can earn coins every 5 minutes for the time u are using the app. Also every few weeks coins per online timespan of 5 min increases like initially it was 5 coins per 5 min, then after 2 weeks it increased to 10 coins per 5 min online.
◆ they also have option of specific period login in which if u visit the app during their specific period u get around 30+coins nd also they inform u about timing of next specific period.
◆ u can watch free ads of 15-30 sec duration and get 10+coins nd videos are refreshed every 10-15 minutes . So u can watch free ads multiple times a day with a minimum time gap of 10-15 minutes.
◆Even the check-in coin reward increases with time. For first two weeks i got 100-120 coins per day just for checking in , then it increased to 150-170 coins per day
◆ they also offer coins for inviting friends, promoting the app on other platforms like twitter , answering occasional surveys about reading experience of readers nd other special occasional offers.
◆u can unlock the chapters either by using ur coins , gems or watching free-ads
These are the facilities for non-premium members to earn free coins.
Even still if u want more coins , u can purchase them
