Introducing the Premium program BETA, giving you advanced chapters!
U should make an option of gifting ss to other users
So i can go cheat arond ss from rich guys
himmeltan We are now patrons paying with ss.
What is the formula for Wordcount –> SS?
what's the different between buying SS and the premium plan ?
From 4 SS to 14 SS!!!! What a big diff
Peerles they may take the gift-card-mode into consideration i guess. so u'll be able to cheat around gift cards to charge your ss account from rich guys
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL 12 SPIRIT STONE'S for ONE goddamn chapter?! Are you fcking kidding me? Qidian had a bad reputation anyway and now you are making it even worse by adding a paywall. All that crap spirit stones, levels, badges was leading up to this "Pay or go Fck yourself" . And don't come with that crap "oh but its still free and you can enjoy it too" No i Can't and that "we want to provide the best quality for you" will work for kids but its just a marketing thing to smooth things over. Qidian you are digging your own grave. Thanks for ruining the fun for pretty much everyone.
Sphiinnx 200 words for 1 stone? Guess I should save up now.
CKtalon so, this system is not like patreon, just pay 1x per month, then i can read all the chapters in qidian for free?
This system same with chinese qidian? pay per chapter?
Immortal mortal has 21 regular chapters for now, so the premium chapters include the regular chapters? or the premium chapters are chapters outside regular chapters.
thanks
TrueImmortal fam there is no free lunch this was coming sooner or later the only question was how hard were we gonna get shafted and with the them still releasing free chapters alongside the extra premium ones i didnt get shafted as hard as i expected.
queenofkahel yep same i still have so many non premium novels i need to read ontop of novels on other sites this is not bad at all i can just let some chapters pile up then binge read.
TrueImmortal Man with all your ranting you seem like the kid. IT IS a marketing thing. It's a business in the first place.
Sphiinnx Some hoomans are just overreacting. :3
queenofkahel yea i am not the biggest fan of qidian i still think they have problems that need to be fixed but this a good step in the monetization direction imo not nearly as bad as the whole paywall meme that everyone was expecting.
Basically this is no different than advance chapters for patreon supporters. The chapters per week stays the same. Release that witch, for example, have a premium of 10 advanced chapters locked behind SS that they released just now. Stop being so greedy, you have no spirit stones? Like I said stop being greedy and wasteful and actually manage your spirit stones.
All these complaints about a company being greedy while taking things that are free for granted, seriously? Have you been transported in another world and saved it or became one of those chinese MC and reached apex? That's why you have this ginormous amount of entitlement for more freebies? lol. If you really wanna complain about how they are trying to monetize things, blame those that started donations for translating. Ever since they made it possible for money to incentivize faster releases it has already headed for its doom. You want more chapters? DONATE!!!DO NOT LEECH!!!You want more chapters?Support us on patreon!!! That ship has sailed long before qidian came, lol.
Anyways, I appreciate qidian trying to at least remain balanced. Giving more freebies for those who wanted to support their site and giving a bit of freebies(daily SS, watch ads option) for those who can't spend money.
For people who keeps on giving foreshadowing/fear mongering like nostradamus "this is just the beginning" "oohhhh you should be afraid now". I'd say: You don't stop trying to live just because you're going to die later now do you? Stop being bitter and move on, perhaps you'll appreciate the little things that are already there, instead of lusting for more.
