I used to be a elite member and indeed it was too good a deal for readers, so i wasn't surprised when webnovel cancelled the whole thing

However.... now this privilege system is the opposite, its too horrible a deal for readers. Ridiculous prices are being charged for the "right to buy" more chapters ?

If we take this logic further down the road, maybe in future we the readers will need to pay money for the privilege of downloading webnovel app and accessing webnovel app

If you want more money then just directly increase spirit stone prices for new chapters, this will at least encourage translator and authors to dedicate more time into producing new content

With the privilege system, there is 0 incentive for authors/translators to produce content faster and 0 actual benefits for the reader since this "privilege of buying new chapters " has been given free from the beginning of the app.

Furthermore what if the reader refuses to spend money on this stupid privilege? Then he wont be able to buy anymore chapters and authors will get less income!

This is why the privilege system is so counter-productive. It actually stops readers from buying more chapters....why would you want this ?

My humble suggestion... If you want more money, just directly increase the price of chapters

    Am not an addict to this app. I read anytime am having free SS. The day dey stop giving it, I delete the app. I don't have money to buy SS.

    nirleka Many platform out there from ...well you know exist out there. They just wait for us to visit them. Bye Qidian!

      What mass update? All is bullsh**! 11 days! No update! Well, I’m not that angry cus I got MTL! Thank god! Thank google!

      Ps. I thought that I should support the original publisher, but poorly, they become more and more shi**y! I has been a fan of Qidian Eng publisher since the day they open the platform. Every company will get better with time, but that concept can’t be use to talk about here!

      TooLongDidntRead TLDR. DID THEY MENTION ONCE THEY MASS RELEASE A PRIVELEDGE SERIES, THEYLL MASS RELEASE THE PRIVELEDGED/LOCKED CHAPTERS? I DONT THINK SO

      I'm kind of lost with your reply but from what they're telling is SOME books will still get mass releases. So there's no guarantee that the book will get them. And we're already experiencing them. No mass releases thanks to this.

      Heimrock Is there still user who pay the qidian.Nearly all of this novels has free version in the internet except originals.I do not read in qidian about months

      I bought stones because I have so much novels to read and fewer stones since there's really not much option to gain them.

      Lordyken However.... now this privilege system is the opposite, its too horrible a deal for readers. Ridiculous prices are being charged for the "right to buy" more chapters ?

      Sometimes I pray that one of those who buy the privilege for the novel I read would be nice enough to share them. 😅

              You know what, instead of spending this much money on Qidian's low quality novels, you can buy books by best-selling authors like Stephen King for much cheaper.

                Sloppy_Daoist Well the problem is, that people like me already read anything fantasy related what we were interested in that u could buy in paper form. So there is only the light novel option left.

                    Florian1990 Though i find it hard to believe you've read all the top fantasy-genre books out there, at least you only have to read 1 fantasy novel here in order to have read them all on this website~ X'D

                        sekmet022 Well i said i read all what I were INTERESTED in and not all that do exist. Well your other statement is mostly true xD

                            7 months later

                            Don't get priviledge feature
                            IT IS NOT WORTH IT AT ALL
                            Pay so much for the only benefit of reading in advance it's FREAKING RIDICULOUS

                            1. Must pay however many coin to access Locked/advanced chapters
                            2. Must pay MORE coin to then unlock specific chapters as indicated in the rules

                            Be careful and well advised: DON'T. DO. IT
                            (Unless you really have the $$$ to burn)
                            Everyone is just ripping off us readers now!!

                              jenniilex3 this argument is stupid already. Because everybody knows Privilege is for PAID users, that's what they intended when they first made the system. You can choose whether of not to buy it. 😄 Nobody is forcing you to buy, you can ignore it.

                              Original novels have reduced their privilege chapters to 5-10 coins too. Only translated keep the high prices.

                                  Eh, I made the same mistake by replying to her. She's just necroing all the threads she can find in order to rant. Let's waste our time in a more productive way! By writing more chapters!
