You unstickied it but we aren’t done yet
【Important Announcement】Monthly Elite subscriptions adjustment
BionicArk I completely agree with you. I did mention that there are a lot of filler Content and they are not worth the SS. All I am saying is Compromise should come from Webnovel first only then Readers who are willing to pay will do so.
Rhisgol calm down fellow reader I clearly gave Disclaimer that I am not a huge supporter of Webnovel I no where said they should charge exorbitant prices. I only gave my view that the Subscription should be quite cheaper compared to paying SS.
Phantasma_ yep definitely they are publisher in hard copies so perhaps a 30-40% but in online Translation mode they are basically just sort of agreegator. The share should be lower if Translator also gets a small % or else still 25% should be enough . Well it's all on Financial Situation and requirements
Phelpsbassoon Take a screenshot and report this to them as this is an error. I have ALL of my prior chapters that I purchased after subscription has ended. Only the chapters that I didn’t unlock became locked again. They don’t relock chapters after you already purchased them so report this as an error in the forum.
Phantasma_ objectively though it should be looked at as a series rather than a single book. Many novels here are actually split into multiple books, but condensed into one for ease of reading. No book has 2000 chapters, but a series can certainly reach that number.
Not saying that the prices aren't somewhat high, just that it's misleading to say it's just one book.
If all these novels were on premium and fully translated, would you guys pay over $100 on average just to read the entire novel? No right? But that is what we're actually doing. None of these novels are even worth above $25.

I get better eBooks on Amazon for 3€. Sometimes translated sometimes in english but they have a higher quality.
But I like chinese webnovel thats why I am here.
I pay for my Kindle unlimited 10€. And I will stay here only to read a few novels with free stones. No more money for a company which can't understand that we are the customers.
It has been a month since webnovel last made any reply. And unstuck this topic a couple days ago. Seems fairly self explanatory as to their real feelings toward customer complaints. Do leave app reviews to reflect this

I won’t be using web novel until they bring back the membership. It just costs to much to read a single novel.
@WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL ,
I believe that, at some point, all of your misconducts will blow up in your face.
I keep using the platform for conveniance, like almost everybody here. But I am pretty sure that everyone is deeply disgusted by your ways.
It works, for now.
But don't push too far
Floofuzz I agree! I use the extra SS as gifts and would even gift 50-100 to my favorite ones. These stones would be stones I earn daily or for the 2k+ I purchased before the elite membership. And I really wouldn't mind paying more for the elite membership, I just want it back. I guess I was lucky to still have 1k left after my membership expired.
No problem with the 25 $ a month...
Btw. Webnovel itself claims 600 million readers in PRC...
I think the problem for Webnovel now is that those who had a taste of $25 after paying exorbitant amounts will be very unwilling to return to paying those amounts. At least, the vast majority will find it to be unfair, meaning it will take a long-ish time before they are grudgingly pushed to resort back to spending a lot in order to read more. This will be an issue for Webnovel's income if they're hoping for a quick fix/return to what it was before. And that's even disregarding if they bring back the membership the problems they'll face with having a different price (namely, if it's more money). All in all, a bad customer issue and situation to be in for a company. Good luck, I hope it works out for everyone. The only way I can see this situation being possibly amended is a change in the structure of memberships such as various levels. I don't see them reimplementing other features like ad-chapter unlocks. At the very least, the Limited Free reading is a nice little crowd pleaser/queller.
