I Will copy this here...
Why webnovel simply implements a system that the author or translator has the ability to put their novels blocked but must meet certain requirements. Obviously author/translator will get 50% of the profit.
This system can have various option:
1) Continue with the current system using spirit stones to read chapters; (if you want to buy SS when you don't have it)
2) The other would be to use the current system of privileges to read advanced chapters but not with the current price they are offering; (but most guaranty that every month translator/author will have stockpiled. I don't like this system but there are crazy readers that like to read ahead)
3) The other system would be elite paying a monthly to read for a whole month or even year;
4) The other option would be that webnovel sell to users the book in paper but by volume.(I mean like those in Amason)
We know that some novels here have more than 1000+ chapters(translate novel) and are divided into volumes.
Why not divide the stories into books and sell them with covers at a comfortable price. Of course, all these systems must guarantee the quality of the service; as the quality of the novel.
The author and translator can benefit with those option I think...
I listed those systems but to be integrated with one whole system and you choose the option you want.
Sorry for the bad English.
