Chryiss I feel exploited. Every book I read was set back a chapter when my elite membership was revoked and I ended up paying 7 spirit stones and 10 spirit stones to unlock chapters I had already read. They need to keep a read history and an unlock history if they plan to keep switching everything around!
【Important Announcement】Monthly Elite subscriptions adjustment
Hahaha! These guys are going to lose a whole lot of people with their schemes and greediness.
Rhueless Exactly. I completely stopped reading comics after the premium went away. And cut the stories I've read by over half.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL is it likely that the monthly subscriptions will be reintroduced??? Thanks...

If this is the standard of this forum, after not stating anything after almost 500 complains, just what kind of image are you guys trying to give people.
You seem to clearly have no regards to the clients, utterly a disappointment. I've been a avid reader on this app, but not getting a single reply to this Post is utterly ludicrous. No regards for the clients complaints. I've been on a few forums but this is just to hilarious for words, seeing nothing replied to.
I just need to know for how long
Still no update about this?
Can u pls return when we can read more than a hundred chaps before entering premium or when we watch the video we can still have 8-16 SS same as the daily gift? Too bas its getting expensive for the chaps to open though some may not bother but what about me? Or Us?
Sooo people stopped buying ss because the cost per chapter was jacked up. So they bought the subscription. They took that away without any warning. For someone making a profit, they sure shot themselves in the foot. If they don't do something soon they might as well shut down.
I would also love to know what is up with this.
If Premium was bringing in more cash for everyone, why would you stop it? It was also so much more convenient that using spirit stones.
announcement came weeks ago, 500+ comments and still no response as to what is happening? This is EA level customer service here.
I usually read on this app daily and Personally I would purchase the 2500 stone pack like 2 times a month, then you guys did the subscription and it was amazing. But with the amount of stones that are being asked for per chapter, Let alone that we are paying so many stones for chapters that are not proof read and filled with errors or just plain fillers and that most of the books are becoming premium after the first 100-200 chapters out of like 1700 chapters is not worth it anymore. Once I finish the stones I currently have I’ll delete this app until a reasonable subscription or set-up for your books/chapters.
It's still advertising elite membership on the Webnovels Google Play page. -.-
I dont know if that means they are understaffed, lazy or fraudulent.
Even if you will implement it again, you need to take that down while the service is down!
Right now some people might be misinformed to find a way to subscribe!
Yeah, I'm not going to be buying any more SS. I was spending way too much on SS before subscription and was turning to other places for my reading material.
Subscription brought me back to read here. With it gone I'm leaving again.
I was back to reading 10 novels with subscription, now I'll check every few days to catch upto 1 or 2 I can't find for free some where else.
in that case i have to drop all my novels as well until montly subscribtion is back. Spiritstones per chapter
are way to expensive....
Luckily i have saved plenty chapters at wuxiaworld.
I actually spent quite a lot on SS before the elite membership probably NOT the most out of all the People on this site but still Way to Much my family felt the need for an intervention i only managed to convince Them that i was fine and NOT addicted to spending all my Money on Novels i could read for free other places after switching to elite membership since They felt that a fairly small Annual amount was managable so now that there is no elite membership NO MORE MONEY WILL FLOW and only free novels for me GOOD DAY and sorry for Ranting i am pissed

I was thinking. Why not do it like this.
The subscription at exemple 30$.
The subscription would give assess to 3-4 unlimited novels and make it so that you can change each of your 3-4 unlimited novels each 10 days.
It would give a stable subscription to those that have interesting novel.
It would also facilitate your way to pay author and make webnovel earn stable income.
Let say it 3 novels at 30$ and someone subed for 30 day on all 3. 7$ for the author and 3 for webnovel. X3
The current price of chapters / ss is a bit to high.
The average price of a physical book at a bookstore is at ~20$ with a word count of 150k.
150k words is around 110 chapters on webnovel (at a ~1400 words per chapters).
So let do some math in my currency ($canadian) it cost me 65$ per 3250ss.
The average price per chapters is 8 ss.
3250÷8=406 chapters.
406 chapters is around 4 books.
4 books is ~80$.
But around 1/3+ of a physical book price go on the printing and more depending of the advertising.
Webnovel play the advertising role so let just stick with 1/3.
2/3 of 80$ is 53.33$
So im paying more to read on webnovel vs a real physical books?
The average ss i should pay per chapters with ~1400 words is 6.5ss and less if you make cheaper than physical books.
I might be wrong but i feel like the price of ss should be reviewed.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL i really hope you guys get another one up soon... i read far more than the spirit stones can keep up with =/ especially since more and more novels get premium at 100 chapters >.< authors are gonna lose even more income when people stop reading as much
