  • 【Important Announcement】Monthly Elite subscriptions adjustment

So when the new subscription come out?

    Zatara I would love this system. Take it one step further and add an even lower option that only unlocks one novel.

      Bad form not sending out an announcement via email or putting a banner in the app announcing the change. If I hadn’t gone to check on my subscription, I wouldn’t have known it wouldn’t be renewed.

      Suggestion 1 - Give us the option to pay for all chapters of the book all at once. Not just the translated, but all the chapters to come as well. The price for the entire title shouldn’t be higher than print version of the book since it’s ebook.

      Suggestion 2 - Tiered subscriptions as mentioned above.

      Suggestion 3 - Lower the chapter SS costs (no more than 5 SS per chapter) or give us more SS for our money (5000 SS for $5). No ONE book should cost $70-$200 to read. For titles with over one thousand chapters, their readership will tank if you go pure SS without dropping costs of SS and the cost of chapters.

        I will not buy any ss as it is multiple times more expansive to read monthly then a elite membership subscription was. I was just going to renew my subscription just to find out there is none. I looked, couldn't find it, came to forum to see if there is any news regarding elite membership only to find this...

        Booker23de but wouldn't they be making more currently by just making us pay 12-18 stones per chapter to unlock content then only give out ~5 stones daily.

        essentially offering them to reduce price is unlikely to work as we can not stop all readers completely from paying into the system as long as 80% are still dumping money into the non membership model they would be making tons of cash back without having to do any work or investing anything

            I seonded around 200 euro eache month for ss before the Premium membership i justvread THAT MUCH but having the elite membership nit only helped me save money it also made me realized what other genres there where etc.
            But I guess I need to go back to wuxiaworld and tl as well as a couple of other websites.. Because going back to spending 200 euro a month? I can't do that..

              Sad to see it gone. I'm following 14 novels atm and it's sad to know that I'm gonna have to drop most of them since I can't afford to read them if I have to buy SS for it.

              Any news on when the new system is gonna come online?

              Can you just change it into a discounted SS? once a month. Seriously, I like this monthly subscription because I could read any novel i want and have vast collection of novels but now that it was gone can you have something like discount? Ahem, 70-90% discount on SS ahem. You only needed it once a month because your SS price is fcking pain in my wallet

              LostReader jep, thats what i thought too. i will just reduce my reading and limit my spending to my free ss

                I see QI figured out how to turn off the subscription on Android. I was not aware of the changes since I do not read the Forums much but I was made aware of it tonight by Google telling me that the subscription was canceled.

                I might also note that I'm not very surprised by this. The idea behind subscription services is that some people would not use it to its full value and have it just on payment without using it. However with such a high subscription pay point the only people attracted to it would be high volume readers as it would make it cheaper for them. So they succeeded in signing up all the high volume readers and few who didn't utilize the service fully. Thus their revenue dropped. They need to either lower the price to attract more casual readers into the plan, or wait long enough that normal readers move on to other things and forget about their subscription here.
