  • 【Important Announcement】Monthly Elite subscriptions adjustment

Gintoh Same here. I like to support authors and translators but as long as webnovel is like this I'll stop supporting. I am now back to 1 novel and I read the novel only here because it is an original.

    Angko same here. I read 1 storg here because it is only here. But it updates so infrequently that it hardly counts

    They have plenty of rich fans who buy more that 10k spirit stones every month. So long as these fans don't stop buying, they have nothing to fear.

      LordKBX but the biggest problem is the totally bad customer service and forum admins plus the novels, so many have stopped releasing at all or only one in a month like ssm ..it was huge then from 660ish went done hill and now is rotting and only has less than 200 chapters left a group of users were gifting a min 1000 ss a week each , VM was left to rot on gt, but at least after the huge delay in movement to here and replacement of the moroniclly bad lier of the tl'er we at least get 2 releases a day each week , and to be blunt the management here have and still have no clue on how an open market works coming from a closed off firewalled one ... WW and Vola, WN's main reveals don't have to any of these problems in making money and gt which is 90% qi owned is rotting away as well, they need a real management change to people that in fact understand the market works , damn i own and run a it company , qi could give this company and i could get more money returns in 6mths to a year then they do at the sec , I say this bit as I run an 8.2k readers group + 2 smaller ones and 90% will not bother reading on qi at all , I'm about the only one that does and buys stones and I use mine wisely as i only read 2 main ln's here 3-4 use free stones on and i read 10+ on the other sites for a lot, lot less or free and that isn't even inc my jp light novels/manga or USA comics plus anime i buy

      Bump, I have a feeling that ppl running this app are extremely short sighted. Perhaps they expected that every user would buy subscription, and when they saw that only most avid readers who spent a lot of cash on ss bought it they felt that they loose out on the deal. They don't really understand that with things like subscription you need some patience for it to show results...

      I never bought any SS. But when subs was introduced, i suscribed for 2 months before they cancelled it. There u go qidian, u lose a customer because i would prefer to go to altenate sites or even drop my noves if u forced me to buy ss. Simple reason, 60% of the chapters are fillers. I dont mind subs. But, i never buy ss. N im not alone. Subs takes time to take off. But, in the long run, it is better and more sustainable.

        They're probably waiting to see if sales will improve after premium is gone. 🤷 We'll see, I suppose. Who will last longer? Those holding out for premium or those who can't find their novels elsewhere...

          gone for more than 1 month (not open anything at all) after i was mad at all this bu****t, see nothing change by @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL.. will come to check how this is going to end.. for now, im going to hibernate..

          I am truly disappointed at the lack of response from the administration team. I was initially just a bit annoyed when they took the subscription away, figured I would cut back on my daily reading and earn the stone instead of spending my money (only buy stone when I really have to- in a middle of a good novel and just can't wait) But now I am angry and plan on reading all the novels I can find someone. There is only a few original I like from here anyways. How can they not respond after over 944 comments and response from this thread. It us just rude and disrespectful towards us. It truly shows that they do not value their customers.

          Gamblejay not the same content, a part of the content of Webnovel.
          At least half of the content of Webnovel couldn't be find elsewhere

            First removing subscription. Next removing the discounts and replacing with unlimited free reading. Now even that is gone. Soon getting free spirit stones will be a thing of the past. This just saddens me as there are really good content here. Oh well if that day does come as much as it pains me I will uninstall and forever never know how the stories end which will suck big time.

              MSter simply because of how greedy they are and how they try and force everything under Chinese law, even when attempting to sue or steal other countries works, there will always be multiple underground type places with good prevention's to let people still read most of it free. Especially the stolen fan translations.

                Legionnaire_Dusk Can they force everything under chinese law?
                I don't think thats legal.
                But I am amazed how fast a company can ruin herself...

                Wuxia and boxnovel have a large copy of qidian/WN's novels and comics. There are a number of WN only novels that cannot be found elsewhere. But. Just do like the rest of us. Use the free stones to read the novels unique to here. Then flip WN the bird and read the rest elsewhere

                LordKBX Anything that is translated can be found on other websites. Even some of the original contracts are out there. Google more.

                  Gamblejay as you said. SOME. Lol. There are a few that i cannot locate at all... And trust me, i have a knack for finding things others cannot on the web.

                  Still no answer...

                  Still didn't use 1 of my ss that i bought prior to this big fiasco and will not use them until you fix your shit.

                  By trying to milk us with this weapon called greed you might not realize that it is the same one that could very well blow up and end everything.

                  Profit must be equal to both, us and you.
                  We pay if we feel that what we paying for is worth our money but as you can clearly see we don't see that it is currently worth our money.
                  Do something or lose us.

                    I have mostly stopped reading on here and moved to one of the other sites. I am now using it to read up to premium then jumping. Mostly because it's easier to read on mobile.
                    Have people started doing the bad reviews on the app stores?
