ThyUnknownSaint agreed, it is so annoying keeping track now
Privileged chapters
- Edited
Cantiara Why would they do that. They are here to non stop try to entice fools into spending their money hand over fist. If the fools are not constantly reminded about how many chapters they arn't able to read right now then how would they trick... I mean convince them to spend money to read them. The funny thing is that NO ONE has noticed the REAL issue on this. IT only works ONCE. Once you have read all the future chapters you once again ONLY get normal chapter release rate. You get nothing extra. You end up paying an extra LARGE amount of money to read these few chapters and then get nothing EXTRA for it. Also, from what I have read on the forums some people are saying IT only works on ONE LN.
Interdict its only for that specific novel, and it only lasts a month so once it runs out you will be waiting a while until the normal chapters catch up unless you are gonna pay that each month
SorcererCat its only for that specific novel, and it only lasts a month so once it runs out you will be waiting a while until the normal chapters catch up unless you are gonna pay that each month

SorcererCat I know. But to their credit, they did listen to the negative feedbacks from the people here about the ambiguous sentences on the Privilege page as well as the Privilege rules and as per people's suggestions, they updated these pages accordingly to make it clearer to their customers. So I'm still giving them the benefit of the doubt that they still want to improve their customer relationship. If they don't, then as per my argument before, their business won't be sustainable in the long run.
Still waiting for @CKtalon 's response.
I completely understand that this is a choice to pay for these "early" chapters - what really rubs me the wrong way is that it makes it seem like the translators/authors had ALL these chapters the whole time but were trickling out 2 chapters a day and stringing the readers along until the opportunity to get their readers to pay more came along and BAM! 50+ chapters are now available. This is the part that makes the whole thing seem incredibly greedy IMO. I think webnovel could have timed this new system better (like seriously releasing the news of xin hitting $10k + this privilege system at the same time?! Wow. At least give us time to be happy for the author and make her the butt of some jokes out there) because it seems pretty tone-deaf to the readers.
Anyways, pay if you got the stones but know that you just got to KEEP paying. 
Interdict So, we can all LMAO at these people who are just kicking themselves in the nuts and paying for the privilege to do so. LOL
Paying upwards of 2500 spirits for bonus (50) chapters, then still having to pay the spirits to unlock each chapter which would be another 600 Spirits. Goddamn that awful.
To Qidian,
When I open the app I want to know how many chapters I have unread on a book. I canāt tell now because you list the amount available with Privelege and that varies story to story. One may have 54 chapters ahead and another 35. Itās impossible to keep track of and has rendered the actual count I have available useless. I donāt have hundreds of dollars to burn on buying Privelege but I do give you some money for SS so please do something different for the count. Maybe list the number of Privelege chapters separately.
Interdict Yeah, you should never mess with a person reading! I'll be like a cat clawing out at them.
I hope they fix this soon
TheCrimsonFcker help them take notice by not giving them any money
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Can you guys change the amount of āunreadā chapters in the library to before though? Like Iād rather know how many actual chapters I have left to read, not the unlisted priviledged chapters
For those buying provilage. I advise to only buy upto 15 chaps or the second privilage. The other once are not worth paying for and will only incur significant loss
krustynobb what a privilege !
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL
I think what people are trying to say here, why the hell do you pay SS to unlock "More SS paying"????!
Should be 2500 SS to actually unlock 50 chapters, not 2500ss to pay to be able to pay 2500ss again.
Which is 5000 SS, so a 100$ 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.
CKtalon Itās 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 DOESNāT. From the look of things, these āprivilege readersā are paying hundreds, if not thousands, of SS to see the titles of chapters they donāt 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, itās 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
