I think what people are trying to say here, why the hell do you pay SS to unlock "More SS paying"????!
Should be 2500 SS to actually unlock 50 chapters, not 2500ss to pay to be able to pay 2500ss again.
Which is 5000 SS, so a 100$ to read 50 chapters?
Seriously?! what kind of novel that merely 50 chapters of it costs freaking 100$.. what? do i turn into the MC after am done reading it or something? do i actually get to cultivate and become an immortal?
honestly at this point, either hire an actual expert who could come up with a good payment plan that doesn't make you lose 99% of your readers, or just adopt the "Patreon" system, set up community goals for release rate, and those who support get the advance chapters, but all this lock and unlock deal is just impossible.
And its a fair game, if the novel is popular, readers will support it, if it isn't, well it won't get support, simple as that.
Privileged chapters
CKtalon It’s all well and good for a privilege to be accessible only to the select few who are willing to purchase it. However all those examples you gave - the VIP lounges, the business class plane tickets, the VIP concert tickets etc. ALL have a CLEAR advantage to the paying customers. Your privilege system DOESN’T. From the look of things, these “privilege readers” are paying hundreds, if not thousands, of SS to see the titles of chapters they don’t actually have access to. Why not reduce the cost of the chapters which are STILL locked after purchasing the privilege (instead of keeping it at the same price that non-privilege readers pay) OR reduce the cost of the privilege itself? From the point of view of the majority of readers here, this system has no clear advantages or benefits, it’s just an excessive cost for a non-existent right. Therefore, it is not a privelege. Stop throwing that word around.
The novels that signed up for privilege now reflect that they were updated 5 or 6 days ago. I think maybe that's the day they went "privilege" and now even the latest regular releases are dated to show they are "stale." Maybe it's WN's way to get under people's skin so they're always aware they're not reading the latest stuff. If they can't trick any more people into signing up for it, maybe they're banking on irritating people enough to shell out cash?
if it was only to pay to get advance chapters i would not really mind and actually suport it but now you pay too read 10 Chapters a head of others fine but you haw to pay 1000s for reading a head Sertan number of chapters but you also haw to pay ageen for each Chapter after you All ready pay-de once to read a head lol That is just Greedy
Will the novels get released normally again (without Privilege, only 1 payments) once they end though?
I would really Like to know the end of some novels someday. I could wait.
FleetingClouds In theory, they keep getting released at the usual rate so if a novel gets completed you just have to wait longer than the privileged people to read the end.
You pay for privilege to reading ahead but you pay more to unlock chapter. Just for one book
Privilege is to unlock advance chapters. Once a novel ends, there will be no more advance chapters, so logically speaking, the Privilege program for that particular novel should also end.
When will this annoying, shameful and scamming 'Privileged Chapters' end? It's basically keeping the already translated chapters hostage. What a rotten and moronic way of squeezing out more money.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL would be best if it were properly explained. You are paying for the privilige of buying access sooner. In itber words, you pay twice for the same content.
I feel robbed!!
Tenny2905 Anyway guys give power stone to my novel Harry potter contest ... It's my way of rebellion against this privilege shit ... It's the one with dick cover
Kni8ht Viz's Shonen Jump manga site allows readers to read everything in their library for $1.99 per month. Of course, it's manga instead of web novels, but it's legal way to support the authors and artists and a lot cheaper than web novel. You can also read the first three and most recent three chapters of a series for free.
It isn't web novels, but it's perfectly legal and might be something you consider jumping ship to. For a reading addiction, it's much cheaper.

If that so...then why can't I read my regular 2 chapters of "Most Loving Marriage" today

We had the System with 25$/Month. And they cancelled it because the "income of some authors and translators dropped".
They want no good solution - they want cash cows...
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I just talked to my lawyer and I was told to say this, if it is a per month service that I am paying for then it is for access to 50 new advances chapters per month. Since if that is not the case you have broken both EES and Icelandic law, and I am able to sue.
It is illegal in the EES trading area and iceland to sell the same product twice to a consumer.
So now you tell me how your company is going to fix this.
