WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I just wished it to be back. Anyway we'll be buying the membership fee, for those who are willing. And for those who cannot afford just wait for the rewards. But for an addict reader like me who spent whole day and night reading it's really a pity. It's good that I'm stingy from giving too much gifts (I'm only gifting those of my most most love novels and keep the daily rewards.) So think I can only minimize my reading habit from now on
【Important Announcement】Monthly Elite subscriptions adjustment
When Kindle Unlimited only costs around $12/Mo for access to full books, you guys charging $25/Mo for similar access to periodicals is already approaching a ridiculous price but marginally acceptable so if you have some authors complaining, maybe they've gotten a bit greedy because it's doubtful the ones doing the complaining are putting out significant or quality work to begin with.
I was enjoying this cause I didn't have to buy power stones anymore, I loved being able to spend 20 a month and get to read without worrying about spending more money, I would vote and use other things to support my authors I was reading from. This is bull, so me gifting and voting means nothing
Is sad to see they aren’t doing anything, and we are hoping they will do something about it.
When you going to start memberships again??? I'm really poor:(

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL i was just charged through apple today for the membership. How do i get a refund. A customer service number would be nice also
The fact that you guys didn t give us a warning means that you wanted plenty of us to use unknowingly any SS we had. My guess is that after you made more profit from people buying SS you will then bring the subscription back with shitty conditions.
My sub ran out, and I miss Elite subscription already... I am really wanting it back.
I purchased Elite subscription on the 20th Mac but the sub is not working. I purchase SS but no amount is shown on my account. My library is also zero.I have to retrieve all my books.

Exactly this. To me being charged around twice as much for similar content is pretty crazy. I understand everyone in the chain wants to get paid (author, TLers, editors, QI), but doing so at prohibitive costs is a big turn off as a consumer. The spirit stone approach is a deterrent to me as a reader. I want to read less and less content (and no new content) since it's such a risk. At least with the premium I looked forward to reading new books and recommend to friends.
Now with Elite gone I guess it's back to free books and just the two or so books I'll toss my remaining SS (that I already gifted half away expecting Elite to stay!!) at. Pretty disappointed.
It surely affects me and others reader.. We already spend most of the SS that had been purchased before can you imagine how much it cost us..it not easy to purchase back those SS.. Hope that your team can make wise decision
Well with élite sub i added a lot of New novel and i gladly gave away aller of my SS now going back to old system means giving up on more than half of my currently Reading novels ...
Anyway i m pretty sure that premium was more effective for a majority of author but wasn't lucrative enough for thé app. Though 25 dollars a month ans u still think it's too cheap i Can get m'y Netflix +FF14 online with this ...
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I spend about 4 to 5 hours daily on webnovel
I have more than 100 novels in my library
Your elite plan was good enough
I don't have to check a lot of sites for different novels I could read all I want in webnovel
Now I have to read just few chapters
And pick which novel is "worth it"
Return the monthly subscription
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I have never bought ss it feels like I'm being cheated for some reason so I decided against it
When u introduced the monthly subscription i bought it
I read many novels most of them are originals and gifted the ones I like my ss
-I didn't have much so it isn't a big problem for me- most of the novels I read were underrated or unpopular
I was searching for something new cuz I don't have to be careful about unlocking the chapters and if they r worth it
Now I will have to drop most of the original novels I have and just keep one or two
that means less readers for the many original novels the authors will get even less now
MOST IMPORTANTLY THE CHAPTERS I READ ARE LOCKED
I'm someone who like to reread a lot
I read the novels again to check few things I forgot or because they r good enough to reread them
Now I can't even look at the chapter I just read hours ago
At least unlock those chapters while thinking of a new way to rip us off

honestly this had potential but they were greedy and it flopped and instead of making it more affordable, which would lead to a boost in income generated and stability of customer pay rates. they decided f*ck it its too hard we are getting rid of it. I have 3 questions that will bring to light some major differences in other streaming services compared to yours. 1. Why do you think so many people buy those monthly $10 subscriptions faithfully? 2. Why do you believe your services deserve to be paid more than those services provided by most other companies? 3. Why do you not see this platform for what it is a novel streaming service. Your service currently can be compared to netflix running on 240p and charging their customers $25 for it.
Give us subcribtion option back .... Rather than spirit stone I prefer buying the book ....
Just came back from checking the app on the Apple store for news (we never know) ~ I’m kind of amazed that on their description they still got the one from 2 months ago « Become an elite membership ! You can join our monthly elite membership to enjoy unlimited comics and novels ! »
@WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL @Webnovel_Staff If you decide to take down and cancel the monthly subscription membership, at least stand up to your decision and don’t advertise falsely ! Moreover with all the people calling you out, the non answering attitude we get from you is completely irresponsible.
