Eian_Ridley Yup, it’s all about finding that perfect revenue maximization point of subs to readers.
I would even suggest implementing a pre-release sub program where those interested set a range for how much they’re willing to pay, and Webnovel then sets a price based on these ranges that maximize revenue, and the people who had that price in their range are obligated to then pay that amount.
Essentially, the actual payment is delayed until a price is set, but then paying that amount is mandatory upon participating in the pre-release.
In this way, readers pay what think is a fair price, and Webnovel and authors receive the highest possible income.
