Leo Same here. T ^ T
Introducing the Premium program BETA, giving you advanced chapters!
Will we still be able to watch ads to unlock premium chapters? Because that was always my go to choice after my daily SS ran out
The content was well explained and well put. And it is business after all. Can't expect everything for free....
So All the best for your future endeavors!!
Clone I'm not entirely sure that's what they said...
"You can still get Spirit Stones, which can be used to access premium chapters, by daily check-ins, voting, inviting friends, participating in community events, and even watching video ads on a daily basis (this will be implemented soon)."
This implies that video ads will still appear in some form.
ahaha I like it
8 ss instead of 4.... well... *sigh
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL never said I didn't like it. I like the direction, no worries.
ihateqi Yes. The video ads will soon be implemented. The devs are most likely working on it.
How to purchase the premium?you should make another thread about the way for purchasing..make it easy for the consumer? 
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL It's great that Qidian is working in a direction where all parties will get to benefit and grow in the long run.
As Qidian grows, we're able to ensure a high quality of translation on all novels while being the readers get to enjoy an elevated standard of enjoyment.
Kudos to the team for their effort!
DarkLordMisty Basically just buy SS.
In any case, this is literally just an in-house Patreon.
If it was a monthly prem payment membership then I’d understand. But this is truly milking the addiction.

I'm going to condense this in a manner that is easy to understand instead of using corporate talk.
The novels that are chosen for "premium" have all future chapters locked behind a Spirit Stone payment, based upon word count. The chapters that had been placed in this premium pool are made available to non-SS readers at a scheduled rate. This means that those people who have been enjoying 14 chapters a week on their favorite novels will now have to pay Spirit Stones to do the same, as they will only be given access to 7 a week for free. Although the pool of premium chapters is current ten, it will continue to rise as long as the translator outstrips the release schedule, and I would not be surprised if you find triple digits before long—especially for the more prolific translators.

Hmm maybe free reader like me can survive with the ads
But ultimately the stones that can be got from ads to thats needed for chaps will be low.
Well I can't say to qidian to give everything for free .
They are a company and their goal is profit .
What pains me is that it all used to be free . its like colonist coming and taking the freedom from the natives.
