Introducing the Premium program BETA, giving you advanced chapters!
I came here just to say. I will never come back to webnovel again. Just the fact that a new chapter takes 12 SS to read. I am sure I would need to pay sooner or later. I would rather read MTL now.
Thank you for introducing us such great stories. I would always remember them or MTL them.
N0xiety yes but u still get yhe free 4 chapter weekly right? for the premium ppl they pay with their own money to they jave the right to be ahead of free users even if its 100 chapters ahead of thr free user.. they used their hard earn cash to basicly pay the translator for the extra chapters and even then the free user can slowly catch up with the daily ss and video ads.. so remind me again how is free user that dont pay anything ahould be at the same level as premium members? money dont come free.. and translator dont sacrifice their time for nothing..and if u do the math u can see that this is cheaper then normal patreon and even buying real novel like the HP setirs if u consider 200 word per 1 ss
Well I've noticed some of the premium novels are also asking for patreon donations as well. It should be either one or the other not both as that just leaves a bad impression of just wanting the money not caring about quality just throwing out as fast as they can.
How many spirit stones will it cost me to read tomorrows update after I've spent 7-8 reading the premiums? Will it go back to 4 ?
well i guess i need to stop reading RTW
Too expensive.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL is there any ads because i cannot affors premium so i prefer ads. Where can i read mmorpg using ads??
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL pukimak
Olivia nope only 1 chapter a day so most things got cut in half and depending on the way they have it set up even when you spend spirit stone to unlock a chapter the next day it will unlock the same chapter you already unlocked so still have to wait a day if you dont have the ss for it .
Noire you talk big but did you even read the changes only 1 chapter unlocked per day on release that withc now not 2 as it was so the chapter count went down by 50% for free users this aint even patron like thing to read advanced chapters this is shafting you for 50% of the things that was free , and if im going to go for anything id jsut go for patron not this shit site again f bullshit what they did.
I can pay for SS but my country doesn't have paypal can you more method of payment.
Hi, i just wanna be sure... RTW is in premium now,,, lets say RTW is in chapter 300 right now... from then on we need to pay for each chapter by using stone, and every week translator release (example number) 10 chapter... if i wait till like 2 month (8 weeks = 80chaps) the current chapter is at 380,
Do i still need to pay to read chapter 301?
(Please reply my post so i can get the notification for this reply..)
Thank you.
Are all the novels getting in this program? or just the ones that appeared in the Premium for Free?
BadMal well this is what i understand from this explanation
N0xiety hat's correct. Premium chapters will pile up with time. For example;
Release That Witch
17 ch/week release rateFree chapters
1 ch/daySo free chapters = 7/week
Total chapters = 17/week10 premium chapters added into the premium pool every week. Next week you will be 20 chapters behind if you don't unlock premium chapters.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I am reading 12 novels, there is just not way I can unlock chapters with spirit stones and my 600 spirit stones one day disappeared...so yeah
JayRs thanks, we'll see if its worth it.. as every chaps have different price of ss, u can imagine paying chapter and all u got is a filler LOL it feels like a roulette everytime you click to pay as u only can read 3-4lines and the rest got hidden., (dont get me wrong, have no problem spending as long as its worth it)
If this program applies to all novels, if I'm Really a Superstar which upload only 9 chps/week... do we get 7 free chapters? or do we need to wait for 10 chps to be ahead of free users to be able to read it as a free user?
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL but it is a paywall an adwall is also a paywall. I was content with watching ads to read my books but now i can't read them anymore
If I unlock all the chapters of RtW the following week I have to unlock 10 or 17 chapters?
Interesting path, can't really say if I support it or not (Logged in just to get a few chapters into RTW vs. waiting), can't say if it's money hogging either. That pateron is no longer a thing though at least in RTW's case, seems to be making the company have more power over the translators, which I can't see being a good thing in the far future.
So much for keeping promises qidian. You made a sugarcoated paywall. Paywall >>> restricting access to people who have paid >>> sipirit stones<<<
good bye RTW, i think i'll just drop it and move on to the other novel :)
This is just another form of paywall. One small step towards a much greater step that's been in the plan for getting as much money as they can from us.
It's always been the case in China and now it's spreading here to us.
R.I.P. to enjoying reading Chinese novels
Flezxy This is what casinos do. You see... this is not really a paywall because you are not directly paying to unlock chapters, you use our own imaginary currency. But because you can get a few stones everyday then it makes it OK.
Yudi Why are you leaving! come! Pay us 50 dollars and read all you want for a few weeks! its not that expensive! You will get to read all of these machine translated webnovels that are edited by people who don't speak the language! You will even get a special badge to show off that you paid us money for this!
anlie It is not worth it, because the quality of the translation is low. Doesn't matter how many chapters they release, it is still unreadable garbage. They expect us to pay real money and this is the quality we get? They are delusional if they believe that.
Heavenly_Ant Don't give them any ideas and especially more don't give them your money. Are you really going to pay for this? This money is not going to the translator, or at least the vast majority of it isn't. If you really want to read ahead and support the translator, then donate to their patreon. Don't give your money to qidian.
Yudi ...you can still read the chapters, no? There are just some advanced ones for readers who support the editors, translators, authors, and QI. You don't get to read normal books for free in real life... so why would it be any different for here? How else would an author be able to have an income?
le sigh
Positive_Lullaby ahh I see you work as a core member of QI so you know how all the money is distributed? Mhmm I see now.
lol was only a matter of time. Their take on patreon.
What a fantastic argument.
- Edited
i can't understand the negative comments.
authors, translators and editors needs money for daily necessity.
with steady income they can focus on this job and gives us steadier release rate, otherwise they'll find another job to get better income and this job will only be side-job in which they won't focus on and we might not get steady release or worst, it stop .
do you know how many authors didn't finish their novel (or slowing down their release) because of real life problem (mostly financial)? how many loose translators disappeared like a thin air before finishing their novel because of the same problem?
give the authors, translators, editors and qi what they deserve as they gives us what we deserve. lets be fair.
if you can't or just don't want to pay (by purchasing ss) then don't, we can always read the free chapter anyway.
to be honest, i can't participate in this premium program simply because i can't open paypal account (due to my country policy). but i still support my favorite novels by clicking those adds because they deserve it, and they deserve more.
i support fully any programs qi's made for them (authors, translators, editors and qi) to get more money. of course qi also have to give us free readers our dose regularly.
*just my opinion
Positive_Lullaby Actually you get +5 for power stone daily vote and +5 for energy stone daily vote + the random daily checkin. This gives 17 to 22 SS per day so you might be able to read 2 "premium" chapters a day on top of the free one.
Guess I should use these spirit stones to become an immortal to learn Chinese faster.
