i'm disappointed in the fact that the subscription service has end because i read a lot on my free time. I read at least 50-100 chapters a day and now that i no longer have the subscription i now have to spend more money to read the books i like to read everyday. its starting to seem like a waste of money now i was happy and willing to pay for the subscription but now i don't know how to feel. please bring it back......

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL As a reader, I’m totally agree that we have to pay for the author that has given us many great novels to read. However, if you think that 30 us dollars is not enough for us to pay for a month and insist us to buy the SS. It is indeed too much! We have novels to read and each chapter cost us like 5-8 SS. It is 3 times more than what I’m paying for netflix !!!!! I think u should keep the elite subscription as it is and not change. Well if you guys change it dont increase the price.... Its too much for us, some of us are even student :( We apreciate the author that’s why we willing to pay not look at other website to read, but also give us a fair and worth price to the loyal reader !

I'm so disappointed I read a lot I read so many that I am reading about 20 Storys because there's not enough chapters out and now that I have to go back to SS instead of the membership I'm gonna have to read less and I do all my reading here I don't even buy books no more this really sucks

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Because of the inconvenience of author we the reader cannot even satisfy our daily read.i thoughts we the reader come first how about you bring back the elite for now and then when you guys figure something out you change that how it always work for others viewing platforms you incorporate the changes not take it out all together.i see so many of my book there that is updated but I can’t read any it making me reallly mad.plus most of the book here are the translator not the real author

How long will it be before we will see the elite program come back? Because I honestly cant go back to almost spending 100$ a week to ready favorite books.

hi

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL is it okay if i purchased it like now? Because all i read is people who complain things about it all the time. I do love webnovel and i want to read it everytime. so being one of people who complaining about their subscription or things like that make me sad. I am a bookworm so i do feel lost if i cant read my favorite novels..

Millenia29 I legit read almost 2000 average mins a week.

Isn't it a lil bit unfair to lock away all chapter that have been read while we r in elite membership?

DeportedKami Webnovel should reimburse the entire amount of subscription money to all elite subscribers, since it violated the terms of contract. This is breach of contract by Webnovel, since they did not state that subscription would be withdrawn in 2 months while asking users to subscribe. Also, the mass spirit stone gifting events show that it was all part of a plan made by Webnovel to fool users. This is just not acceptable.

I could not find a way to cancel the subscription. So I guess it is already solved automatically?

And please, try to reintroduce a plan with different payment models, maybe based on chapter (length) read. Currently your prices are in no way compabel to e.g. Amazon Prime

Feng_Sha comics unless you are on a monthly plan are a scam anyways. you can find em on any mangasite for free.

Gadareth Resistance is useless.

stefeman To true i was the exact same when i was binge reading a few books i found (roughly 3 novels) when i first started on this site but i was actually spending nearly 90 euros per month so when i found the elite subscription i was elated as i cant be spending that kind of money no matter how much i like these novels

So your data shows the subscription program was working as intended, why cancel it then? The only reason to cancel this program early is that you were either not making enough money as you thought you would or you thought up a plan to make even more money and don't want people too hooked on this subscription plan. If you actually cared enough about your customers there is no need to cancel the program until you could implement the new "better" changes. I am not going to purchase any SS until there is proof that you are not trying to screw over your customers to get more money.

My suspicion is that the revenue of the top ranked novel authors/translators went down substantially under the subscription program. if I'm any indication.

I occasionally bought SS to follow 2-3 top novels of interest, keeping up-to-date with them. Now with the subscription I still follow those novels, reading the 10-15 new chapters/week/novel that come out, but I also read 500 chapters of medium ranked (10-50 ranked) novels that don't interest me nearly as much (I wouldn't pay any extra for them). So when it comes time for webnovel to allocate my $25 for a month, 80% to 90% of my chapters are lesser ranked novels so they are going to get 80-90% of the $25. The top novels are getting less money from me than they used to.

If this is indeed the problem, webnovel does indeed have to change things, possibly weighting new chapters much more heavily when allocating to authors.

Also wanna get my voice out there to say that I think the move you did was bad. I am going to have to rethink how I will go forward before I decide to spend irl money on SS again here.
I am sure that this desicion will make the authors loose more money then what they did with the premium subscription.

Please add a replacement as soon as possible. An idea is to buy full access to a specific novel, all chapters unlocked forever, for a price similar or cheaper then a book irl. SS can still be used by readers as a trial reading, both for reading the entire novel, but for us to get a chance if we wanna 100% support the novel
