Privileged access
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 
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.

God damned it, i though it's will be like other site advanced chapter but no!
Contrary to common practice in webnovel and webcomic scene,
I still need to pay "the unlocked" chapters :(
Don't buy it, not worth it!
I got ripped off, by this privilege bull shit.
No more money from me Qidian!
Next month, after the privilege bull shit turn off,
i will go to other customer friendly webnovel provider.
Someone that not ripping off and actually honor their customer.
This is suck, i've been loyal customer for 2 years.
I don't care about QI anymore.
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.

xiashenghan SO very glad mass release is still an option. I love Mass release. For a moment I thought it wasn’t and then three more chapters were updated. I came to correct my venting of it. 
8 days later
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
