  • 【Important Announcement】Monthly Elite subscriptions adjustment

One thing to realise about this company is that our opinions don't matter.
Customers are not king, Webnovel is king. Money is king.
Their attitude on not responding to our comments of dissatisfaction, and the minimal amount of notifications tells us a lot about them. I have only noticed notifications on this forum and their Facebook page only because I was looking for information.
People who only interacted with this company/platform through the app were not notified with any notifications that were noticeable. And a lot of us only use the app. So I can understand the surprise and frustration when all books were suddenly locked.

So the question is, do we still want to keep reading through them? Just be prepared to get ripped off over and over if so. That is their attitude to us.

I will not recommend or invite anyone to use this service. I will actually dissuade them of that decision.
This company's attitude stinks. I'm also not sure if all these changes over time was a marketing ploy or not.
When people subscribed to elite there was an event to donate SS to novels for unused SS. Now they cancelled subscriptions but we don't have anymore SS to read, so we now need to buy more. Coincidence? Hmm.

    When will the elite subscription be back?
    If it won’t I might as well stop using this app altogether...
    Too bad I’ll never get to continue reading my favorite novels here... it’s not only a ripoff when using SS but it is also extremely inconvenient to have to unlock everytime you advance to the next chapter.
    I reckon the management and the admins didn’t think this through thoroughly.
    So disappointing...

      If they take away the subscriptions permanently or raise it any higher than it already is then I'm totally done with these greedy people. These novels can be read on other sites without paying, its just the quality might be lower but at least I'll be saving money. You guys are way to greedy with your schemes.

      Lukas 50 dollars a month i can get amazon netflix audible and 1-2 more service for that amount. i dont know where you pull your prices from but 25 was alrdy way overpriced for what you get.

        I already pay for the monthly subscription. Why previous chapters still need to unlock by ss. It is not fair since I already paid. At least if you want to cancel the subscription and we need to pay for ss please do for newest chapters not the previous chapters.

        I don't see them doing anything before April 28 as that is when all current subscriptions would end.

          Due to the fact I still have not got my refund. I will leave this. For everyone

          Wuxia novvvels app. 100 free. All the same books plus more.

          Web novel. Screw off. I want my money back

          Enjoy everyone.

            Dante_The_Immortal I am one of these people. I donated over 2000 spirit stones to "The World Online" after getting premium. That is $60 that I literally threw away thinking I wouldn't need spirit stones anymore. Very upset about this.

              WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL you know i was quite dissapointed with this. I was saving up some money to continue my subscription. Well I did notice that if you continued with your elite membership you might lose out some authors/translator. I suggest if you ever read this that you might put some restrictions about this subscriptions like you can only choose 5 novels for your unlimited reading experience for one month, I say 5 cause there are translators that are slow to update, Some that the promised bonus chapter queu is piling up but they can only update 3-4 times a week. Or you can also lower your subscription fee just lower someone commented above. Or you can do both. But I do hope you all officials can make some quick desicions so that we readers, your customers, can experience this New elite membership.

                Maybe, just maybe a notification inside the app would have been a good idea. Don't you think so?
                I just got surprised by the "no more SS" message while reading.

                And here I was, assuming I still had my subscription plan running...

                Guess I have to drop some of the stories :/ Also your reading-time quest looks really sarcastic now... But hey.

                Could you maybe get out subscriptions for a limited amount of novels? Or make it possible to buy novels till the end?

                geeiein my thoughts exactly. Why should it cost more than netflix when half the content is unfinished and updates are also not for certain. Psssh

                    ishimori1 I said the same thing. It was not listed anywhere that it would be a trial run.
