ill have to drop comics and quite a few novels that are not as interesting to me as others once my subscription ends. on another note, can you make it so that bonus ss does not expire when you purchase the subscription? ive had to keep track of whatever ss is expiring that day and gift it out so it doesnt go to waste entirely because i forgot to cancel the automatic rollover for a time to spend the ss, then resubscribe. ugh

Dante_The_Immortal I couldn’t agree more!!!!
really. I mean it already cost me $39 dollars to subscript to this plan. also, you would think notification of this change would be visible in the app or website as inbox worthy If I did not decide to check forum I would never know it was going to be a one-month thing.
Subscriptions was such an incredible quality of life thing for me. In 100+ chapter novels clicking the "unlock chapter" button over and over, while a small thing, gets frustrating. Please bring subscriptions back as soon as possible!
Was trying to purchase the Elite membership for over a week, but no matter what I did, I couldn't get the option to pay (the payment button/prompt just kept infinitely swirling), I only got the prompt to pay once and it quickly disappeared. I guess the thing discontinuing explains why I couldn't purchase it in the first place.

My membership was supposed to end on April 6th and for some reason, it was deactivated almost two weeks ago on the weekend.

Can I get a approximate number of months I have to wait until subscriptions will be available again please? A rough number is enough for me. That would be something I could anticipate.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I bought it on the 27th and it is pending in my account but I don’t get the Ben if it’s or I do I’m confused? Even if it’s just a moth it would still be nice
geeiein If the premium subscription was less then $10 a month everyone will subscription to it. Reducing the value of the subscription is not a bad thing because, it will increase the number of subscribers.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL welp thanks to the Subscription I could read a lot more stuff, but now I’m just going to have to drop a lot of my novel/ comics. I can’t really afford to spend 10$ every single day to catch up on the Nobel. This is quite sad time for me, but aleast I just started my membership yesterday.
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.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL great to see a forward and improvement seeking mind, it's always good to see the platform listen to both authors and readers. Looking forward to the new improved Elite program

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I call bull. I paid to renew my membership on March 24, 2019 the order id is MKQ6QG7B96 and the document number is 208258407865 and yet the Webnovel app is saying I don’t have the subscription anymore. @dapenggaofei I’m tagging you because of never’s FAQ.
Never got a response until I emailed them. After several emails they gave me a refund because they couldn’t (or wouldn’t idk) fix the issue to let me finish using what I paid for.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I think you guys didn't plan out well enough this elite membership. Instead of a overall membership you could just have tagged a price to unlock all premium chapters for each book. That way there won't be that much of a income loss for the authors. This way, the price will drop for the users that can't afford the old membership's high price and there will also be a increase in income for the authors. Furthermore it'd be fair, since the authors with more loyal readers obviously will earn more. And all of this without removing the spirit stone system. Since it can be of extra help for those that want to support the authors. All in all, I feel like this would be beneficial for both readers and authors
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL The monthly subscription was a huge quality of use improvement to myself as a reader. I am VERY sad to see it go. I note that you plan to re-introduce some other form of elite subscription. I just don't understand why you didn't modify the system as it went along to get past the initial teething problems.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Please you don't care about your authors, the only thing you care about is making more money for your company. You are discontinuing the elite membership program because your "data" suggests that you would make more money squeezing the community dry buying spirit stones.
Going back on this is dishonest and shameful not that a shameless company like this cares about their face.
