• Qidian Official
  • Introducing the Premium program BETA, giving you advanced chapters!

One thing I'm wondering,

If I unlock 1 premium chapter with spirit stones, let's say chapter 105 (with the current free chapters being at 104), then next day will the free chapter unlocked for me be 106, or will that premium chapter 105 that I unlocked become the free chapter released to everyone.

    Miya Love how you're pretty much calling the free readers leechers, parasites to their face even the vast part of them that watched the adds to get access to the chapters and thus technically paid for said chapters.
    Not everyone has the excess cash to fork off just to keep up to date with all the chapters of their many favorite stories especially if they're students for exemple.

    I understand the situation so I don't mind paying
    But c'mon !
    I read many novels but only 2 of them have extra chapters released
    I need more stimulus Qidian !

      Miya I agree that it is cheap, we can still read for free and given how many novels are on this site i expect that you can satisfy your thirst until the next chapter of your favorite novel is released from premium mode.

      Again we have to remember it's a beta, it is very likely to change in many different way depending on how it works with us. It is still something to watch and give our input on if only to ensure that it stays something that pretty much everyone can be ok if not happy with without turning into things like what happens with EA games.

      WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I get that you need to make money for the writers editors translators basically everyone who works for the company but I think there should be a subscription per novel or even for all of them even if it’s weekly or monthly. Obviously I have very little expectation that they will do this. I don’t know how much words per page a book actually has because I’m not a avid reader of physical books myself but I’m sure youre not paying as much as you would be per word compared to this website, I think showing people teasers of the chapters that they can’t have access to is pointless why not just have the title and option to unlock it? Or even have an option that just shows you that there are 10 chapters that can be unlocked? Although a lot of people hate on the company for trying to make money I understand where they’re coming from it just seems so forced I don’t mind watching adds for chapters which I have no doubt I’ll still have to do every time a free chapter comes out still, but to basically use chapters and there teasers as incentives to buy ss sucks for the people who cant afford or don’t want to pay for them.

      Wait so I can still get SS from daily check in and other things and I can still use SS to unlock the chapters, But now it's also for premium titles other than the already existing Bonus chapters that require SS to unlock. So basically I can still get everything for free ?

        Will this premium thing also include those novels that barely update as is??? (Im also talking SS increase) cause sometimes you still have to pay SS even though it’s been a month waiting for updates 😒

          tankbusternbiscuit Yep bingo the only difference is premium has no ad option and the SS price is scaled by word count

            PhatKidLovesCake nope the only novels that are premium are those listed the rest do not have an SS increase

              If this like sub for several something for all access im okay but buy every god damn ss for chapter that quick release for 8 ss and have to wait for days or weeks (probably) this is killing my pocket soon
              At least ads for those who really need it not killing most people
              People are on outrage now

                BluGill it is everyday check the release schedule they put it on the home page banner slider thing

                  Sphiinnx this is only the beginning

                  soon or later all the novel will become premium

                    Miya

                    You know what will happen? The newest chapters will just be pirated and posted elsewhere. The greedy people that never learn are those who again and again try to return to unsuccessful distribution models. If Qidan becomes fully commercial, it will just mean other site will replace it with same content.

                    To ask a question that's probably in the minds of others:

                    Will more stories be added unto the premium program?

                    Personal question:
                    Is the program based on popularity of the novel or based on something else?

                      Tomz hopefully by then the release and translation issues are fixed

                        With Qidian going premium I hope attention is paid to Quality Control, there is nothing more annoying than paying for a chapter to find it has many grammatical mistakes, spelling mistakes, even incorrect character / technique names in random places.
                        At the moment I put with these errors, especially on fast releasing novels like Immortal Mortal as the chapters are basically free, but if I'm paying for the content I would insist that you have it be properly QC'd.
