Webnovel.Forum

ActiasLuna Thanks for simplifying this post bro, it cleared up alot for me. I was about to ask why legendary guardian chapters cost an average of 15-16 ss to unlock while rtw is only around 8-9 ss. Looks like the number of chapters I’d be enjoying every week just dropped to about half

I think this will cure me of my addiction in reading translated novels. Hahahaha.

Change from 4 to 8 ss double, does it mean the premium chapters also will be unlocked in weeks or mybe month?

At-least there is some option for free way

JrExceed lol for me too maybe its gods call for everyone to put their time to good use.

I understand the idea of the business model, it's just a shame that the price is doubled. Sure, it's only for a few, but our daily check in bonus can be for LESS than 1 chapter like that.

If there was an additional pay model similar to "Unlock all chapters for XX novels," I'd be much happier. If you've raised the prices per chapter once, there's no telling if you'd do it again. I wouldn't want to buy a large quantity of spirit stones knowing there's a chance they'd be worth half as much again in the future, as unlikely as that may be. Honestly if I had purchased stone before you raised prices I would have called my bank and issued a chargeback, unless the amount of spirit stones in my account increased to balance out the change. It's very irresponsible to not even have a warning before hand.

All this is doing honestly is telling me to pick up novels from other sites until the ones I'm reading on here finish. Who knows, maybe I'll have to log in and use the spirit/fire stones just to read 2 chapters a day. Waiting two days or whatever to get the chapters isn't the problem, it's that the novel trackers show there are more chapters released, but I would have to check every once in a while to see if they were actually accessable. (Yes, the watch video options is a thing, but how long until that gets implemented? A few days? A week? Two?)

I don't mean to rant, but I feel the additional pay model would greatly help.

I don't get it. Does that mean those novel included in the premium program are no longer accessible for free? Or they are, but only on certain days?

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL What if I'm not able to afford the Premium cost?
Free Readers,

"free readers", aka a euphemism for leechers aka yet another euphemism for people who are too stingy to pay no matter how many updates, benefits, tricks are thrown at them.
also, this new premium idea sounds a lot like patreon except it carries a different name, the system is more uniform across novels on the site and it's based off of webnovel instead of another website

So basically, readers can choose whether to read only until the "ad" chapters or continue reading in advance (on selected books only) by spending SS on it and those chapters can't be viewed bt watching ads. .and that's the so-called "Premium for Free Program". .

From what i can see going to most of my novels, no change but adding a pay option for the premium chapters, is that correct? If so, i don't see any issue. Keep up the good work, and please consider adding a app on amazon! Kindle users out there bump this!

DerKonig the second one, PFF

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Frankly, it's damn cheap...

"yeah people, it's dirt cheap so stop being so stingy with your money.
frankly, it's tiring trying rob you guys 'cause whatever trick we tried to pull, you got to be so adept at avoiding them all.
this forum is for daoists who cultivate on their spirit stones people, it's not for the customers who cultivate against our schemes"

So premium chapters can unlock after a couple of weeks or days ?

So everything is still free but you can get access 2 more chapters by being a part of the program?

Honestly this is fine. People need to understand that they are a business and the fact that every premium book still gets free chapters released is much better then I was expecting. All this does for free readers i reduce the releases by half is what i am getting. So lets say RTW for example has 14 chapters a week will be the premium release speed while 7 chapters a week for free people. If u read a lot of novels having 1-2 chapter release depending on the novel instead of the 2-3 isnt the end of the world. Not to mention for the SS u can keep up with a select few that u really like and still be free.

RIP my SS. Now I am gonna just go and do my daily stuff. Thanks quidian for giving me time to do my daily activities.

Olivia yep u can just pay for extra chapters ahead of time that will eventually be free anyway

Atleast they didn't remove the free SS, keep up the good work guys

Wild_Pikachu_Lv666 u just spend SS that u get from checkins the new ad which will come soon or buy them no subscription

noobslayer yupp

RussIsWatchinU nah, it's not double. It depends on the length of chapter.

Darnsky fine for me then. I think there's nothing wrong with the premium program

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I have 1 question I would like some clarification on. Does the amount of free chapters released stay static at 7 per week? or will it change depending on the release rate of the novel? so lets say that novels that release more chapters per week are 2 free chapters a week instead of 1?

Clone yupp, or just log in eveyday, invite friends etc.

ActiasLuna Then the chapters behind ss are not advanced chapters but just regular chapters as you just said only 7 chapters will be available per week for free. Advanced chapters should be the chapters released after all 14 chapters have been released per week for the free users.

Guess I just gotta reduce the amount I read in a day. Might as well wait for more chapters to build up and unlock that way I can just binge instead of using the ridiculous amount of spirit stones. If it gets too crazy then imma have to just drop webnovel and only read at wuxiaworld.

4U6U57 I doubt you'd be able to do that with the free spirit stones expiring after 60 days.

Although my favorite novel is included in the premium titles, I can't get mad at all because I know it is also to support our lovely translators, editors and authors. So cheer up guys there's still a feature for non-premium readers better make the most of it. ;)

SuperGuru well it depends remember you still get free chapters everyday just not 2 so u could save up then binge read. I think the biggest factor for free users is how much SS the ad program will give and how often u can do it. Like for me personally I have so many novels in my backlog that having some of my other novels reduced inst a huge deal will just read other shit until some chapters build up.

4U6U57 does watching ads give us SS? How much

Looks like it’s time to pick up other novels in this site thats not tagged as premium. IMHO, 15 ss on average to unlock a single chapter from legendary guardian isn’t worth it. I mean only getting around 10 ss per daily check-ins just can’t cut it. Yes, there would soon be ads that would give bonus ss if you view them but how much do you think it’s going to give? 3? 5? 10? Even if they gave 10 ss per add it would only be enough to unlock a single chapter from guardian.

Upon spending that many stones, I’d only get to read 1chapter/day. It would still be more efficient to just read non-premium tagged novels for those 4 ss to unlock them. Maybe if they’d give the option to keep spam-viewing ads to earn those bonus ss to unlock premium chapters, spending some time to watch them would atleast have enabled us to read more than just 1 chapter/day.

This is just the thoughts of this fellow daoist. I apologize for any grievances the words of this lowly me has caused.

iamgodslayer10 Indeed. They're not "advance" chapters. They're "premium" chapters. This isn't Patreon-lite, this is another form that just so happens to resemble Patreon at the moment. Come the month's end, I expect the faster novels to reach 30+ Premium chapters, with over 100 within a year if it continues at that pace.

I can read them anyway so lets support them

SoCal Reading non-premium novels is one of the few choices we non-premium readers have. I don't mind watching ads at all.

Wouldn't it make ss useless?

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL hey I dont have problem if u qidian decided change some to no ads premium chapter, but you guys rlly need better standard (some chapter need 15 or 9 & 6 spirit stones this seem lot random to me) how much value ss in each premium chapter exactly like more paragraph mean more ss or what? Does it also depend wether the novel is new or old?

Why did my latest updates won't show the newest updates instead it showing the updates from yesterday

Qiaolu me too, I don't mind it at all
just a virtue of patience :DDDDD

Olivia It's still actually helpful for the non-premium readers.
