I paid for privilege again this month and it sent me back 50 chapters. When I tried to open the newest chapters which is the reason I paid for privilege again, it said I had to upgrade even though I had only just paid for 20chapters after paying for 50 the month prior!
Is this going to be fixed as it has already been near a week now and I still cant read any of the latest chapters whilst being 1000ss down to boot. It's disgusting that this is even a issue and that it's taking so long to correct
J4YBO This is not a bug, this is how Privilege works. The Privilege you paid for is the Privilege to unlock X chapters ahead of normal readers. So if you bought the 50 advance chapters tier last month, you will need to buy exactly the same tier again this month in order to stay 50 chapters ahead of normal readers. You will need to keep doing this every month until the novel is done. It is very costly, so I advise you to just stick with the 20 chapters tier that you bought for this month and wait a bit until it catches up with the last chapter from the previous tier that you bought where you left off. Hope this clears it up for you a bit.
How long will I have to wait for the normal reading then...
Cantiara .. wait! what! .. so I have to buy the same tier as last month if I want to read ahead for this month? I cant buy a different tier?
on that note, I read somewhere that privilege would only be “valid” when the stockpile reaches 50? so even if I purchase the first tier, I wont even have access to the novel until the “rest” are caught up or the “stockpile” is at 50. (
)
Jeshii Heya, I'm not sure I understand what you mean by Privilege won't be valid until the stockpile reaches 50.
I don't think translators or translation groups will put the novels they are translating as a part of the Privilege program if they don't have at least more than 50 chapters in their stockpile. Because it's just too risky. So, if the highest tier that you've been offered is 50 advance chspters for a translated novel, then rest assured that you will always be 50 chapters ahead of normal readers for that novel (unless, of course, the novel is almost completed and the total amount of the remaining chapters for that novel doesn't add up to 50 anymore). If they don't give you that, then that's a breach of contract between a seller and their customer.
Original novels are a bit different. I don't think any original authors here could offer 50 advance chapters for their privileged readers. Simply because they don't have that many in their stockpile (if they even have a stockpile). Writing a story is different than translating one. It just takes more time. If they participate in the Privilege program, then the highest tier that these original authors can offer is probably 5-10 advance chapters.
Cantiara .. Maybe Im reading it wrong on some of the readers comments and postings from WN staffs. 
. Some of the readers bought the same tier as last month but are still unable to read in advance because the “privilege” chapters wont open or wont allow them to advance. One reader indicate that after emailing WN (more than 3x for answers), that we have to wait until all 50chapters of stockpile is available before we can read. . All in all, Im still confused abt this privilege. 
Cantiara .. Thanks for the information and confirmation on the privilege system ..
I guess Im going to wait .. as much as I like to read ahead, its alot of SS going into a novel each month. I dont mind supporting the Authors/Translator but its waaay to much SS. I rather just gift them SS at certain intervals in the novel.
