This seems broken in the app though. When trying to unlock the chapters, it just fails.
Privileged chapters
You also need to pay to unlock the chapters after getting the privilage... so you have the privilage of paying twice
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL is it just for that novel? Or is it across novels?
I can't seem to find a clear outline of the process and it's rules.

Pay 2500 stones to read 50 ahead on one novel and you still have to pay stones per chapter. Sounds retarded.
krustynobb paying means paying by money or spirit stones???
girrlit every single title has its own privilege
jennycarson Spirit Stones
jennycarson to get that many spirit stones it may aswell be money.
Hjkoi It is. I was like wtf is this shit let me try it. Bought the 2k pack 15chaps for Release the witch and u still have to pay 7-8 ss to read the chapter. 2k ss to unlock the batch, then normal ss to read each chapters in the batch......
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Paying to pay for chapters in advance is not a privelege And neither it is a value. A privelege would be a novel mini suscribtion where you pay 250 and get 50 chapters for free. Paying 250 to unlock normal chapters that you pay to read normally is robery, it has zero value for money for users.
Adding insult to injury its called «privelege» to rob readers.
I think that the privileged chapters are misleading, I pay 400 SS to unlock and I thought that I will be able to read the next 5 chapters, but I was wrong. I need to pay to unlock the batch and pay per chapter again? Is not easier just to do a mass release? Privilege will be to pay for the batch of unlocked chapters or a similar system as when there was a subscription. Or that the privilege works on multiple novels.
It is true that no one is forcing us to buy the "privilege" chapters, but it feels like webnovel just want to get us to spend more SS in a silly way

It literally withholding already translated chapters so they can gouge money out of people to access them.
Good thing i've read. Or else i'll be dmned. Paying just to sneak a peak and then pay again. Stupid stategy.
Nowhere in the message that they mentioned that you need to still pay after unlocking the page which is misleading and that meant you have to pay double for the chapter.
CKtalon See I get that and I would be ok cool. But y still charge 7-8 ss or whatever the number to unlock the chapters which we just paid for? It just seems like a dick move.
Illusionist Will feedback, but I think it has to do with the keeping track of what chapters are unlocked, so that when Privilege expires, the chapters will remain unlocked for the reader.
