Iyorin based on the first post of this thread, I think they are cancelling the subscription program, so no. There would be no more subscription available.
I dont know about later on though.
【Important Announcement】Monthly Elite subscriptions adjustment
ZanySphere Please do chancel the subscription. That's the only way you can cancel the service on Google Play. If you don't do it manually, the payment will be deducted automatically and we will go through a refund process afterwards.
@WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL you are going to lose a lot of readers with his d*ck move. Elite membership allowed us to roam around the library to choose the novels we couldn’t read and made us read “out of our box” like novels. Although i am not a user of elite membership. I contributed with my friend to get the membership on a single id where we each pay for a month on an alternate basis and read the novels we like in that one id.
And just my opinion, when the writers sign a contract on going premium, YOU are the ones distributing the income not us. We’re contributing ourselves to the corporations by purchasing SS or elite membership. So when the writers are earning less it’s probably your fault on the distribution of income. Dont shush urself and push all of the blames on the elite membership system . If the membership doesn’t return then we’d better go search for illegal sites which upload this rather than you consuming our money and also trying to gain our support when u make this kind of dick mov. Whatever format you are changing won’t change the fact that you are going to lose a lot
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL you definitely should make this statement clear to everyone who signed for the service, like, sending a message to the inbox of everyone or an email..... And at least in the notification of the premium service
Why is Elite Subscription Button still active today? Can I still subscribe?

I think the problem with the earlier subscription system, was the number of choices you had at your disposal.
Because, let face it, either you bought SS or you got yourself an overpriced subscription.
But, I think Qidian could have avoided all of this by offering multiple choices - all tailored for different preferences.
Here is an 'rough' example...
Subscription 1 - (low price)
- You can unlock all of the chapters in 3 premium novels each month, something you have to redo each month if you want to read the 'latest' chapters. (This would kinda force the translation teams to bring out new chapters, otherwise no one would unlock their 'new' chapters if there are no new chapters too unlock).
- You recieve 100 SS each month.
- You recieve 1 more Power Stone.
- You recieve 1 more Energy Stone.
Subscription 2 - (medium price)
- Same as option 1, but you can now unlock 5.
- You recieve 200 SS each month.
- You recieve 2 more Power Stones.
- You recieve 2 more Energy Stones.
Subscription 3 - (high price)
- You can now unlock an unlimited amount.
- You recieve 300 SS each month.
- You recieve 3 more Power Stones.
- You recieve 3 more Energy Stones.
If Qidian had implemented something like this instead, I am sure more people would buy into the cheaper options (bringing in more revenue), but also giving people a choice to what they would have wanted to read for what they had payed.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL since im only a new here can I have a suggestion?..aside from watching videos to get free ss..can you make a mini game to collect a ss??hehe...im only relying to your free ss to read your stories so I can only read 2-3 chapters a day...huhuhu..just like what im reading at now your" trial husband" you need 8 ss to unluck and yet I only got 5 free ss in watching videos and 5 for voting novels..tnx..hope for your kind consideration on us who cannot afford to buy your elite premium and other promos!!!
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Very disappointed. Loved elite.. I wish I would have saved the stones I bought prior to having elite, I gifted them thinking I'd never need them, and now I will.. 
I find it so suspicious that right before webnovel announced they were getting rid off the elite membership, they had an event to “gift” ss to novels. I wonder how successful that event would have been if they announced BEFOREHAND that they were getting rid of elite. Now you have tons of users with elite memberships who used up their SS thinking they won’t be needing them anymore. 
Zatara And which amount would we have to spend? I follow over twenty novels and comics.
25$ is more than I spend on my mobile contract.
(I live in europe and we have a different income situation than USA).
If they do something like your advice I won't be able to afford this because it will be more than 25$.
They don't understand that there are others competitors on the market.
Maybe I get a membership from Amazon - it is cheaper and you get complete books without the problem of cancellation of the books...
Lol, those folks have spent so much time bullying people in china that they think they can keep the bullying out of it.
Dropping such a hammer after making sure they've depleted a massive amount of ss through events? Tss, tss, tss.
Oh well, it's not like readers can go elsewhere right?
Oh wait, they can...
Stupidity...sigh
On a side note, trying to pin the blame on authors when really it's all about you wanting to find a way to maximize profit is low, low, low. Man up to your own evil.
Well, I am quite sad to see this, I am reading quite a bit of novels, and even tho expensive I figure it would be worth the investment and donated my stones to novels I liked in terms of gifts... Instead of unlocking chapters.
so this is quite a bummer to be hearing now. So I have 3 days to read like 800+chapters.... such joy......
Angko Amazon actually has a lot of translated Asian novels (Japanese, Indian, Chinese, etc.). I was quite surprise. I have amazon prime because I order a lot of things online for like $12.99 a month and an additional $9.99 Kindle Unlimited. Kindle Unlimited allows you to rent up to 10 books at a time from their library (books have to be under kindle unlimited and they millions of selection to choose from). It's great! I also just discovered moboreader which is similar to webnovel but waaaaay cheaper! I know there are tons of sites that uploads the translations (which is illegal), but I see so many users saying they are so tired of webnovels money hungry agenda that their switching to just reading it for free at those illegal sites. Which is so sad for the authors! I wouldn't do that because I want to support the authors but I can understand why others have because of the way webnovel treats their readers/customers.
Is there a new plan coming up. I don't follow these forums and am disappointed that you guys did not email elite subscribers about these changes. I happened to stumble on to this by accident. I was gifting my SS as I had elite subscription. I was paying less a month on subscription than novels, i was saving some money. I hope a new plan shows up and hopefully affordable and not ridiculously priced.
[unknown] I'd rather not waste my time and theirs in a futile struggle.
I'm still hoping for the signature to be available again in a way which more people will be able to join.
