• Qidian Official

  • Introducing the Premium program BETA, giving you advanced chapters!

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.

      CKtalon Yeah lol, I just noticed after trying to read something.

      Whelp, hopefully they implement that feature sooner than later, and for now, RIP my spirit stone stash (and hopes of saving up to Such Wealth badge). 😪

          Thats saying getting stones by watching ads
          Not unlocking chapter.
          Well anyway it will have been blocked sigh guess I can live my life in a productive way from now on.
          Have to thx qidian for that.

              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!

                  Clone You'll be able to unlock all chapters with SS, which you'll be able to get from watching ads, logging in, voting, and other stuff, so you can still stay free if you really want

                      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.

                            ihateqi For premium chapters, there is no more ads. We will give you guys another feature in few weeks to allowing you watching ads to get bonus SS rewards.
