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.
Privileged chapters
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.

CKtalon the wording on the privilege page is not clear as that though... on the front end i mean.
How do i get a glance at the updated chapter? Do i still need to buy the priviledge ? Why cant I buy & read the chapter thatI want as per previous settings? It is so frustrating because I could not view the new chapters for One Marriage Two Treasures
rafidah230980 You need to first purchase the Privilege.
Illusionist I was actually thought I was understanding it wrong 2000 stones for 15 chapters which can cost at most 150 stones is insane if I wanted to read advance chapters as I am unable to Control Curiosity I would rather go to MTL rather than this insane privilege. Sure they said it helps Translators and Author but this definitely not for me

This is a bad system, I understand that you want to pay your authors more, but this is extremely missleading. You're basically paying for a one time mass release, and you still have to unlock the chapters. One of the high ranking novels had a "privilege" price of 2500 stones for 25 chapters in advance. That's 100 stones per chapter! And after you unlock this you still have to wait for regular releases. I understand this is optional, and also that it's a way to support the author. But again, this is missleading, and there's still no other system in place to incentivise the readers.
Dante_The_Immortal It's not for a lot of people. Generally, each book will probably only have about 100 or so Privileged readers at most.
This is the most stupid system created by Qidian so far.
To read advance chapters you have to pay tons of spirit stones and to read those advance unlock chapters, you have to unlock again with spirit stones.
Qidian just pisses off tons of high paying customers with their scam, you not only lose paying customers, but you also made a mockery out of them as if they are just a flock of sheep with tons money.
Supporting the author is another thing but blatantly scamming their money in the name of supporting an author is very disingenuous.
If my guess is correct most of the author signs a contract 50% royalty rip off.
Which is 50% of the money goes to the Qidian pocket.
