ey looks like I'm gonna eventually stop using qidian nice
Introducing the Premium program BETA, giving you advanced chapters!
Good. Time to drop RTW and find another hobby.
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?

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.
just don't be too updated and wait it to be unlock T_T i hope i can do it.
I want QI to release all the RTW and IM chapters and make them premium!! I need to read them!!! T_T
ActiasLuna thanks. They never really explained how this premium thing worked.
NineNeatherBird SS expires now so it DEFINITELY affects you lmao
If I use spirit stones to read ahead for 2 chapters, do I still get 7 free chapters a week or only 5?
let say we have premium chapter from 10-20.. on normal occasion.. eventually chapter 10 will become free chapter to read after given of some time.. so let say that if i use ss to unlock chapter 10 now.. then by the time that i can use free chapter on chapter 10.. should i be able to use this free chapter on chapter 11 or i will have to wait for some other time until chapter 11 is scheduled to become a free chapter?
if that is the case.. then it is no point waiting for a chapter to become free once u use them to unlock these chapter if it is suppose to only become free chapter on scheduled time
thestatsguy Uh, no. They fucked the Free user system too. 8-15+ SS to unlock a chapter now. And I think they removed the referral system too.
85th on the hall of fame. Kinda far away from 1 but ok

DarkGem For how long tho? That's the question... This is how Qidian works. They implement things slowly. We are like frogs that are slowly boiling. We don't notice it since Qi doesn't throw us into a boiling pot immediately. If they did that we would just jump out. But by increasing the temperature slowly, us frogs will stay untill we boil and die...

@WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL @CKtalon I didn't read the 200 or so messages so idk but from what I understand basically 1st chapter free 2nd paid, and next day 2nd becomes free and 3rd and 4th is paid, that means the stockpile of premium keeps increasing, and free keeps getting behind the premium, as on 3rs day it's 3rd free while 5th and 6th is paid which sucks for people who paid as for them the chapter which got free was already paid, so for them it's like all are paid as the chapter which gets free is which they already paid and then later for free, as the chapters which becomes free is the chapter you already bought, (assuming you bought it that is)
So instead it should work like this, 1st free 2nd paid, if you don't pay for 2nd then next day 2nd is free but 3rd and 4th paid, and if you pay for the 2nd then 3rd is free and 4th is paid, this is imo how it should work, but best case scenario is all 14 are free and premium is always 10 ahead, so the gap between free and premium doesn't increase
Peacecraft I wouldn't count on it...
Krovick it was always mentioned that they expire after some months.
But if you look at my SS history it looks like this:
17 SS expire today. 15 SS earned today.
So I would I say that I would roughly stay where I am currently.
