Are you crazy you expect people to pay exorbitant amounts to temporarily read chapters in advance that will then be locked and will need to be paid for again.

I am absolutely baffled by your outrageous greed.

Unfortunately as i am just finishing a night shift i missread it to say you get access to the chapters not early access to buy them.. so long 2000 spirit stones

The unlocking of chapters under privilege will remain unlocked.

QI is greed personified into a corporation
I wish i could see the stats for how many people opt into this

A total ripped off! Such a waste of SS.

krustynobb Yup, I'm in the same boat. I usually just buy enough for the whole month, now I have to buy a another batch of SS just to read the uinlock chapters. Pure BS that was

I wonder if it'll affect anything if everyone bombed the app rating?

CKtalon Yep, lovked because they after 100 blind addicts that would pay no matter what. The user group wich is like gambling addicts and very illegal practice banned in most eu. But cltalon says its ok since you can choose not to. But we all know how addicts are, they can’t choose not to!

Enlightened_Being Of course it is, brain reacts in the same way for most of types of addictions. Not legal practice everywhere though.

This is why I come to the forums. To get some sense knocked into me. I was so ready to buy the privileges because I am dying to m ow what happens next in Rebirth to a Military Marraige: Good Mornjng Chief. Lol lol Love you guys. It is way to expensive for me. I really want to support the writers and the translators.

krustynobb u can get ur refund from Google not from app u have 3 days to get full refund

They can do it because there are people who actually pay for it. Sad that with this I'm afraid we won't get mass release anymore.

UnniSara21 You will need to read it in the original language with Google Translator

CKtalon Remember when you were a translator with integrity and not a sellout? I hope the money is worth it.

xiashenghan Some books will still get mass releases.

CMIIW, does this means for privileged novels, there's no more regular cheap to unlock chapters? All have to buy this to continue reading

wait so you have to buy the privilege to pay more to unlock them early? I dont understand how this works

Greyhound7 There will be. Usual release rates.

I got ripped off as well. The instructions were vague; I should have checked the forums first. Darn. Got click bait there. I didn't think they'll impose restrictions on said privileges. I thought that I'll have 5 advance reading chapter unlocks for which ever novel I choose to read. It turns out I have 5 advance reading unlocks for that 1 novel I applied privileges under. I really thought it would be across the board min 5 chapters a day per novel. WB was truly adapted a misleading deal. Argh! I lost a bunch of SS for nothing. And what's up with the advance chapter? Usually authors/translators update 2 chapters a day. Why is the regular update inclusive in the advance reading chapters? It should be 2chapters (regular) + 5 advance reading chapters. Argh. So frustrating.

CKtalon I'm glad to hear that then. Most of us can only look forward to mass releases as that priviledge access is too expensive.

Giovanny1994 unfortunely i have made use of the extra chapters as to not waste my 2000 stone and im im not as unethical as webnovel to try and claim back for a service i have used

I just wish they will return it yo their old system rather than robbing us readers of our hard earned ss.

UnniSara21 right but we rarely get mass releases these days.

xiashenghan mass releases

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

itsumademo This is why I’m so baffled. 15 advanced privilege chapters in one novel costs 750 SS and that’s over 160 regular chapters (at an average of 4-6 SS per chapter) so I can’t understand how this scheme is suppose to be logical. And you can’t use that “privilege” on any other novel except the one you purchased it for?!?! Webnovel you MUST be having a laugh! Bloody money suckers! Just trash the entire scheme!! I’d rather you just stick to the £19.99 per month instead of this rubbish.

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 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!

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.

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

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.
