It's ok that quidian provide premium for free but what happened to the chapters that iam able to read normally by watching adds they all gone for immortal mortal I want regular don't need any premium just adds will do

Any chance we could get some kind of premium subscription to just skip all this hassle? Would rather just pay a fixed amount every month and have access to everything.

Myddin why don't open a new thread and tag it with "suggestions"?
tell your ideas there, who knows they'll think about it and grant your wish.

AreYouTheEye Done, now just hope they will do it.

Guys.. you all that support qi for premium features, u do realize that this is INTERNET.. people will and always have back doors for whatever... hell!! even porn in 90s need to be paid, now?? Its free because they realize People keep getting free porn from everywhere else. And now for this "goods" like literature... if qidian keep on pushing people to the edge, at 1 point they will feel "fck it, im gonna go and look from some other places". dont even talk abut supporting the translators or the authors.
Authors have their target income from local, international readers only count a meager penny (dont deny it qi, i read your CEO interview regarding international readers)
Translator income? Well this is a very delicate things to discuss.. i dont want to touch that forbidden area,
BUT i hope all qidian translator read this.., you all are at company side so dont give your opinion or comment in here, because thats not your job. I have my own company and i know what my workers should be doing, and who should do the PR work. Thats the consequences when you join qi, if its website like ww,grav,volare, all the translator have their own right to voice their opinion in where the website going. I dont wanna offend translator because i really do respect and appreciate the hard work but you guys shouldnt forget how you all start from those websites or even blogspot and what community have put you guys above, if theres no grav and cktalon/legge mass releasing im really superstar and TMW until gravity website crash (someone donated hundreds of dollars) NO ONE will know who cktalon/legge is. so please respect the community by not joining this muddy waters.
Back to qi premium,
Im just a fans i dont mind spending ss or donating to translators, having lots of ads in website (heck its internet) but by differentiating the cost of chapter by using words count is a dick move, this is my most concern in this premium features. And please change your business model.. its freaking 2018, majority readers here are new readers that will follow u, but once they integrated to the community they will realise theres a lot of way to read book, and thats where u will lost. And once again remember we all international readers dont have great wall in our internet so we all are free where we wanna go.
Cheers..

I would try buying spirit stones but it doesnt seem to be working for me.... im being redirected to payment page endlessly...

It's not really about being patient, it's about being wise. You just need to adapt about how everything works. Since it's still beta... If you can't create waves, It's the perfect time to do many things in preparation for what's possibly coming.

All these people complaining about Qidian being greedy is just ridiculous.

If any of my favorite novels are made Premium then I'll simply stop reading them. This is in effect a pay wall. I understand why you're doing it, and I don't fault you for it, but I think you'll find that a number of users will simply stop using your site and read the free translations provided on other sites from different web novel companies.

You should increase the SS given.

And what how does the SS gets calculated into your revenue system?

Ever since you implemented the SS system, not many use the ads that is why the ads revenue might be a problem.

But how about the SS? Why was there nothing mentioned?

OK if ur gonna take money as spirit stones then put more new novels... Just like ur qidian website... Add more than 100+ novels.... Because old readers like me always looking for something new

Since its BETA. it should be FREE to use?

I have 972 SS so I don't really care if u have to pay or not to keep reading the novels, have enough to read the ones I like daily and maybe others that will come, btw I got a message yesterday that I unlock a badge but I can't see the message on notifications but it pop-up when I enter the application is a bug or something?

N0xiety My worst fears became reality T_T

so, if i have to "pay" 14 stones for chapter today and it will become "free" tomorrow? or it will work in some other way? cause i get less than 14 stones for login reward... is there than point for free users to pay for premium chapters if u cant unlock them faster than release rate of free chapters? (not sure if some1 esle asked this too much to read)

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Yea, it's not double. It can be x3 or x4 too.

So it finally happens. I was actually surprised that Qidian was capable of restraining themselves for so long. Still. I'm a little sad that some novels that are most likely the better ones out there will become completely out of reach in the long term.. It's quite hard to believe Qidian will stop here. Quite soon there will be different levels of premium where the best novels would require quite a hefty sum to be paid. I'm a freaking student, I don't have that kind of money, so I guess reading is going to disappear from my favorite activities.

Tbh, system seems fair. I heard that there will potentially be a way to watch ads to earn stones in the future so that might balance things out.
