  • 【Important Announcement】Monthly Elite subscriptions adjustment

ThyUnknownSaint Saturday after the J-Novel panel. Time was running out cuz Demon Slayer was about to occupy the room so the Q&A was cut short. So I talked to him afterwards and I just happened to mention Quidian, lol.

      This app is such a joke. Quidian are thieves in the worst way. They abuse the communication between languages. It’s disgusting. You would think you would want English people to celebrate the Chinese stories........not at all. Instead it’s let’s scam them and put a bad taste in there mouth

      Just updated the app to see what this "privileged" thing was all about. I agree translators should be paid more, but if you're going to scam people, don't make it so glaringly obvious. I didn't have a huge problem with the elite subscriptions and was considering trying it before they suddenly got rid of it. But, having people pay about $20-$40 to see the next 50 chapter titles for a single book, then have to pay to unlock those chapters (which by the way your so-called "privilege" only lasts a month) is the most suspicious thing I've seen. The translators likely aren't getting much benefit out of it, since not many people are likely to buy into the privilege system and they're also having to work more to stockpile chapters so the privileged readers can see them before everyone else. I'll give it some time to see how Quidian fixes this nonsense before I stop using Webnovel. I'd rather leave novels unfinished than support a company scamming people.

        biblio1011 They are using this privilege chapters in exchange for monthly subs, that is for sure. We can no longer hope for a monthly subscription now since quidan's/webnovel's top priority is profit.

          i usually making a save for novel that i read in words. (for my private file, not for public use. i don't share it to anyone). i realize, today i can't do that anymore. WN making new feature with their web?

            Just realized privilege might be why I'm getting error msgs on wuxia. Those novels with privilege wuxia can't get the chapters and gives u an error message to wait for updates lol.

              Angko true. but i can't find the original works at other web.... TT__TT i just don't wanna can't read the original novel online, afraid that it will lock again. cz with the current issue, WN doesn't even try to give explanation.
