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

    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. 😂🤣😂🤣

            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.
