  • 【Important Announcement】Monthly Elite subscriptions adjustment

@WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL ,
I believe that, at some point, all of your misconducts will blow up in your face.
I keep using the platform for conveniance, like almost everybody here. But I am pretty sure that everyone is deeply disgusted by your ways.
It works, for now.
But don't push too far

Dude, they don't have the same customer base, true. But it also comes nowhere near those services when it comes to the cost of the content and infrastructures

Floofuzz I agree! I use the extra SS as gifts and would even gift 50-100 to my favorite ones. These stones would be stones I earn daily or for the 2k+ I purchased before the elite membership. And I really wouldn't mind paying more for the elite membership, I just want it back. I guess I was lucky to still have 1k left after my membership expired.

    No problem with the 25 $ a month...

    Btw. Webnovel itself claims 600 million readers in PRC...

    I think the problem for Webnovel now is that those who had a taste of $25 after paying exorbitant amounts will be very unwilling to return to paying those amounts. At least, the vast majority will find it to be unfair, meaning it will take a long-ish time before they are grudgingly pushed to resort back to spending a lot in order to read more. This will be an issue for Webnovel's income if they're hoping for a quick fix/return to what it was before. And that's even disregarding if they bring back the membership the problems they'll face with having a different price (namely, if it's more money). All in all, a bad customer issue and situation to be in for a company. Good luck, I hope it works out for everyone. The only way I can see this situation being possibly amended is a change in the structure of memberships such as various levels. I don't see them reimplementing other features like ad-chapter unlocks. At the very least, the Limited Free reading is a nice little crowd pleaser/queller.

      xyurai same thought but sadly since I like reading and got a novel which I love to reread I still purchase I won't check announcement thing and just keep on reading since I got auto read and I've no idea that my elite sub. Is actually cut off and I using my kept ss til got notif my ss not enough uhhhh can't do anything but to purchase bit by bit 😢kinda frustrating

        Chryiss I know I'm staying long enough to spend my accumulated SS, then leaving for greener pastures. Reading novels with only SS purchases is ovepriced by about 10 times, really not worth it.

          Quick question. Do the chapters you have unlocked whilst using the membership relock when it ends?

            Alexever17 shame as I have a few days left so was about to go on an unlocking spree. I suppose all is not lost there are 3rd party websites thst just want us for the ad revinue instead of the original that wants us to pay over the odds

              When is the elite membership gonna come back?😭 i miss unlimited reading
              I spent reading every single day. My SS is dropping 😂😵

              For the love of God, why?! I used to read so much on this app when I got the subscription but now it's not worth it. Might as well go to a 3rd party posting site.

              I am not going to spend over $40-$100 per month to keep reading updated stories and new stories. (Which I used too) Are you f*cking insane?

              I thought $25 was expensive but I knew it was worth it over this apps ABSOLUTE GARABGE Spirit stone prices and how much a new chapter cost. I enjoy this app but every day, I begin to hate it more and more for the amount of greed involved.

                MrHugglez well they want money duh?!?! They want YOUR MONEY so why will they care... as long as it can make them more profit they will use the most lucrative way so they got rid of subscriptions because buying SS is much much MUCH more PROFITABLE!!!😩😤😠😡🤬 its all about making money in the end
