Too bad subscription is gone, I honestly think those authors who complained they lost money from elite subscription readers simply lost paying readers because their poorly planned out stories just got bad to the point readers stopped paying.

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL From the first rotation of free novels until now i haven't found a single one that i want t read or are already reading. So how exactly is this better than the discounts?
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Can you please post which novels will be free for the week? At least weβll know the titles of these novels, like when you posted the discounted novels (before) for the week. Thanks!
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Ooh, LOTR time? The Dungeon one piques my interest with Goblins and Secret Garden, hmm. I see a Dungeon Crawl Nethack story brewing in my head...
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Forty Millenniums of Cultivation: 35 chapters. Now that's sth.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL temporarily
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL books can be read free for a limited period of time
tempo and books, certainly means its not just one for each gender (M/F) right? hahha
HikenAce Well simply because there is 3 totally FREE novels per day???
How os that not better than a little discount on 1 novel per day?
Discount on 7 novels per week / All Free on 21 novels per week. How can anyone not see the better option?
You missed a lot of nice novels if none made you interested. Its a fine way to promote novels. Even if you start a new one due to it but cant read a lot and dont see benefits cuz you didnt get to the free chaps os still worth it cuz you found a nice new novel and it can come back free some other day.
Its also nice that we dont need to come to this post everyday to see wich novel is on discount since the free ones are shown in the explore page.
In my case there was only 2days that there was not even one novel im reading there. And in those days even if i didnt start reading one of the free ones i could just use the SS that acumulated to read some other novel. But if nome of the past 21 novels pleased you just wait for the next 21.
I reallly like the temp free novels feature. Its great to find new novels and to pick up the ones that ended dropped for lack of SS. It also helps to economize SS.
It would be nice to know wich novels will be free for the week. But i also kinda like the expectation of finding it out daily. And not needing to come to this post everyday is also nice since is on the explire tab. It could be positioned better tho. In the upper part of the tab would be better.
All in all is a great new feature. Please nont turn it back to discounts.

Nizze Discounts work out better because people can unlock chapters in bulk to read at a later date. I have hundreds of chapters that I've unlocked through discounts waiting to be read. Not only is that more than a day's worth of reading, I can read them WHEN I WANT TO. I have other things to do, so I don't want to be forced to read on a particular day just to make up for the avg. loss of SS per chapter that comes with discounts disappearing. Besides, even if I did have the time I still probably wouldn't read one on that day because I'd have to be in the mood for it. Even if it's a favourite from my library the chances of me wanting to read that novel on a specific free day are extremely slim.
Also, you mention it's "nice we don't have to come to this post every day to see which novel is on discount"! What?! I look at the new TGIF post once a week to see if any of my novels will be on discount. If they're not, check next week. If they are, note the day and use up all saved SS on that day. Rince and repeat.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL wow! This is incredible. I wish I could be selected.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL pls where do I go to to check out the free books
AbiDarshak Use the app (3.5.0 and above)'s Explore tab.
Kumikohime it can be seen under 'explore' section under the title -limited free.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL
We're to find the review section of the book? :)
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Wow, one of my favorite things to the Author
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL add a way to get spirit stones like maybe ad's and mini games please I know a lot of people can not afford to buy SS.
Stan_Smith They used to have that a year ago, but got rid of it. Sorry
Why can't they just give free read and discount for others that are not free read. If its free read, they dont get any beside promote. If its discount, at least some spirit stone are spent.
Anotest You do have a point about being able do read it whenever after unlocking it with the discounts. After all not everyone have the time or will to read certain novel certain day. But SS wise I still think the free is better. I mean, even if it on discount is only 2 3 SS per chap so 20 30 SS each 10 chap. But is you het lucky and read 10 chaps of a novel you like one day when its free is from 30 to 100+ SS that you economize depending on the size of the said novel chaps. SS that you can then use to buy chaps from any novel you like that is blocked. So you end up reading a lot more chaps for the same amount os SS.
Also, as I said, there is 21 free novels per week, thirce the amount of previously discounted novels per week. So unless you are quite picky about what you read there is a lot of free options. I do guess is is less usefull to those who have few novels they are interested in or have little time to read. But for those like me who have a lot, like 50+ novels on the library and need to drop most of them due to lack of SS it is way better.
In my case I can read at least 20 chap/day so if 3 of the 21 free novels/week are on my list is 60 free chaps to me. Compared to having discount of 1 or 2 novels at most that im reading in a week, and that is if i am lucky to have them in discount cuz there is week where none i read is, and if i managed to hoard enough SS to buy the chaps, I really cant agree with you that discounts are better.
I guess in the end wich is more profitable depends on the kind of reader you are. But its kinda like the reading reward, the more you read more are the chances it is usefull to you.
And lastly, about the not needing to come to the post everyday, it is not really a complaint about having to access the forum everyday, but thanking them for showing the free ones on the explore tab, wich could have been done to the discounts before it. Actually I did sugest that when the discounts started, so i was happy they did it to the free novels.
