Moon_Rise Same problemes for the privilege chapters for Super Gene
Privilege program
Same here. Already had privelege for 15 chaps and come Aug 1, I bought another 5 chaps for 250ss but cannot access. Keep getting a server error. Gggrrrrr
Also encountered this, purchased additional chapters and now I can't access them suddenly.
In the fine print when you purchase privileges it breaks most of these concerns down for you. I recently purchased some myself so I know that as of 2-3 days ago the fine print prompt that pops up when you go to unlock privileges explains most of your concerns.
You pay to get the privilege to unlock a certain amount of chapters (depending on the stones spent and the popularity of the novel) for a month. That time is measured not by a month timer but by the actual calendar. So if you buy privileges on July 31st you will loose those privileges on August first. It’s in the fine print, not super clear but it’s there.
After your privileges run out you are no longer allowed the privilege of reading ahead any longer. The chapters are still unlocked and will become visible to you at the rate the novel refreshes normally. For instance I purchased 5 chapters worth of privileges of the lord of mysteries. I read them and then lost my privileges on Aug 1st. I can no longer read 5 ahead and will have to wait for 5 chapters to release normally until I catch up to where I skipped ahead to with privilege last month. In my case it’s 2 chapters a day so in about 3 days I will be able to read new chapters again.
In the interim while I wait if I was to go out and buy privileges again it would only unlock what is in the queue again. So I would get mostly chapters that I have already payed privileges for last month until more are released or I buy more privileges. This is also stated clearly in the fine print.
I know that for me as the chapters I unlocked with privileges have come available to everyone they are still unlocked.
I am not defending the policies because I can see issues with them myself. The policies at least when I purchased privileges recently were fairly clear if you took your time and read through them slowly. I thought I would share what I gleaned from my experience and study of the policy, feel free to correct me if I mistated anything. Hope that helps clear some things up.
I demand a refund. It said I could read 50 advance chapters and so I bought it and now I could only read 1, i am contacting my lawyer tomorrow if Qidian has not messaged me directly with a refund or releases those 50 chapters.
BigMike72 tks so I will not read new chapters for super gene for a month.
DarkPriest I know!!!!!! You get ahead in the short term but are froze out in the long term. It’s the unfortunate reality of the system. If only we were super wealthy and could stay in “privleges” every month. Then our impatient and consumer selves could be as up to date on our favorite books as anyone who reads English! #shorttermgains=longtermpains
I'm renewing my privilege just today since my previous privilege are expired I think. Because, if not expired I'll just upgrade it. But the problem is, when the new chapter are released I can't even read it and I need to upgrade my privilege that I just purchase a moment ago. Is anyone have problems like me?
CKtalon i did provided with screen shots but you left me in the dark cktalon senpai... btw i am 70 ears old man cktalon senpai how old are you

This program seems really jank. Qidian has been sketchy since the beginning though guys. I watched them screw over translators when stories came from different sites from the very beginning before chapters were locked.

CKtalon 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 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.
KingDerp I think your lawyer is misleading you (And this is coming from someone trained as a lawyer). You my have an argument about the timing of access IF you purchased right at the start as there was confusion, which webnovel have clarified now and have better information about it with clear warnings. However I would guess you have accepted the compensation offered in a SS gift which you negate your claim for any compensation as you have already accepted compensation.
Importantly now, and while I do think it could be explained better all you are paying for with privilege access is the right for the designated time (Now clearly expressed as a calendar month) to know the chapter titles for your level over and above that released to those without privilege access. You can then pay, as per normal to read the chapter.
Your argument seems to be I got 50 chapters over and above those without privilege access in July. Now for August with privilege access not only should I have the 50 chapters above a person without privilege access but as I have paid for that now I am entitled to another 50 chapters (ie 100 chapters ahead of those without privilege access). I struggle to see how anyone could force this to be how someone is required to work (Labour law breaches anyone being forced to satisfy your interpretation).
Talk about being self indulgent and selfish attitude. You sound like a child who has had a lollipop or toy taken from it. You do not if you do not purchase privilege access in subsequent months loose the chapters you accessed or the names of the upcoming chapters you just cannot open or see the newer release of chapters until the release to those without the access catch up.
It is this attitude that will drive the original authors and translators trying to make this a career away and we will all lose out. No author or translator could keep up with your interpretation of the privilege access.
I purchased on one favourite novel privilege. I loved the early access but I have opted not to take it out again on that novel but will on another to support the author. I am fine not having access to additional release chapters until the release to non privilege readers catches up.
Yes I may be selfish myself and want to eventually make writing my career (giving up the day job that I dislike) so my opinion may be bias, but from my legal studies and old maxim applies here CAVEAT EMPTOR or buyer beware. But I wish you the best with your claim even though I see it being doomed!
