Dear Readers,
At Webnovel, our mission is to provide our readers a platform where they can find engaging stories while being in close contact with the authors of their favorite works. And for every author, our mission is to increase their income so that they can continue bringing our readers more works they enjoy.
Since February 2019, Webnovel conducted a trial pertaining to monthly Elite subscriptions to balance both reader and author interests. The number of subscribers increased at a steady pace, and many authors have had a detectable rise in income. The numbers were encouraging, but due to how income is split through monthly subscriptions, a small number of authors have suffered a drop in income. This impact on some of our authors' income runs counter to Webnovel's goal to increase every contracted author's income.
Through the consultation of our authors and the support of data, we regret very much to announce that we will be discontinuing the purchase of Elite subscriptions on 28 March 2019 (Thursday). Readers who have purchased a monthly subscription will continue to enjoy the privileges of their subscriptions until they expire. In addition, we will be making adjustments to our Elite subscription program and present it to everyone in a brand new format. So please look forward to it!
To our valued readers who will be affected and unaffected alike, we are very sorry. We will continue to develop works that our readers love and make it easier for you to continue supporting your favorite works and authors through our Premium program. Once again, we thank every one of you who has accompanied us on this journey. We wish you good health and all the best in life!
Sincerely,
Webnovel
PS: For all Android subscribers, based on Google Play policy, please do cancel the subscription on your Google Play settings. If you don't do it manually, the payment will be deducted automatically and we will go through a refund process afterwards. iOS readers will not be impacted anymore
