CKtalon i used to have a huge respect for u n i followed you from different platforms until you decided to leave WW and move to Qidian. Heck, i even decided to give Qidian a chance, amidst WW fans rage, because of u.
But, if u really believe what you have been saying n comparing n even defending Qidian on this, i give up man. I used to believe only Qidian is greedy, which is fine as they are a company after all. But, i still stay n spend money because of authors n translators. But now seeing you and few authors really defending this practice, i started to believe now that it is not only Qidian who is greedy.
As a seasoned translator, read what people said here. Use context not literal reading. majority is not complaining about the system. But, how the system is implemented. Heck, Qidian does not even bother replying them.
It is like selling overpriced n useless insurance policy. There is nothing wrong for a company to try selling the product. Like u said, those who want it can buy it. But the moment, the sales person of that product selling it with misleading info on the product, it became a scam. This is what people are saying thay they have been scammed.
Anyway, ask ur heart man. I still believe u r good person. Stop defending something that isnt right.
This is my last straw. After loosing my elite subs, im hoping that Qidian will genuinely come up with a better system as they claimed. I guess I should know better. Now, even some translators and authors start defending this type of practice. So, thats it for me. Im planning to finish reading your work, TMW here as I have been following you since gravity time. But, I guess you.guys have crossed my bottom line. Maybe I will be back some day and finished it when things change. Until then good byee. It has been fun journey until now.
