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.

    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

      CKtalon I think that information about the privileges would have been useful to appear at the moment of buying not in the help section. I think that I am not the only one that didn't read that. I hope that the subscription system return soon.

          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.

                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.

                  CKtalon you mean, if i did not buy the priviledge, i could not even see the title of the chapter, as per normal, before this buying priviledge is starting ??? What a &$3**#$_& idea ..

                      rafidah230980 Yes, but those chapters will be released later anyway, so it's up to the reader to decide if they want to read ahead or just wait.

                          Triciavdu Elite mentioned from the beginning that chapters will be locked once the subscription is over.
                          For Privilege, it is specifically mentioned that chapters unlocked in the Privilege pool will remain unlocked.

                              WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL thanks for that, not for me then.
                              Is there going to be any info about the process put out?
                              It's hard to make an informed call without deets.

                                So if I go buy Privilege, unlock all privilege chapters, nice, now I don't need to unlock daily released chapter (if I got this right)
                                But previlege will expire in the end of the month! Yeah even if I won't buy it again unlocked chapters will not disappear, but what will happen with daily chapter? Will I have to wait for non-previlege relises to catch up to how many: 5-50 chapters?
                                Meaning in the worst case I will have to wait for 50 days for new chapters.
                                Sounds like a bad deal, once you ride the big subscription you doomed to subscribe every month or wait a lot.

                                @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL @Webnovel_Staff i would like a refund on the privilege chapters I’ve bought. Why would charge us 450 stones or any stones for the matter and then make us pay again to unlock the chapters we payed for. Not acceptable! You said when we get the privilege chapters it says unlocks the chapters why do we still get charge. This is fraud because this is not what you described or advertise, refund us back our stones.

                                  Doing this so that authors/translators gets paid more? If that is so,isn't the gifting system enough? I nearly purchased it thank god i didn't. I actually thought that I could read the chaps right then and there turns out I still have to pay to unlock it. I learned this from the elite subs cause here in webnovel everything is not what it seems😂 You should explain it from the get go cause it is really misleading.
