MIcrotransactions but novels
Introducing the Premium program BETA, giving you advanced chapters!
- Edited
Basically this is just patreon system made by Qi right ?
but I like Patreon because I know it was directly support the translator and I doing my best to support the web
will the patreon made by translator deleted or they will keep it ?
Lol they're basically saying "Don't donate on the translators patreon anymore because we dont get their money "
Yeah, Pheonix. I actually have no problem with the Premium on its own. I only worry that the quality will be able to match the price. As has been said by some people. Either way, I most likely will never be able to pay for novels, I'll have to get a job first, lol. If there's any way to help by watching ads, it has always been my mentality that I should do as much as I can, so instead of using SS, I would often watch the ads instead to read the chapters.
And seeing that there is an alternative makes me very glad. But also a bit scared that in the future most of the novels will become premium, and I'll be going through 12 SS a day a chapter... (cause they're removing the ad function to skip the payment right?) Just seeing my SS go down so quickly, I feel like that'll cause me to feel so heartbroken. I always felt like that, even before the prices went up.
Again, I approve of helping the authors, 100%. Anything I post about the subject is just me worrying about how it will be in the future. I'm too much of a worrywart to stop thinking of the worst conclusion.
BluGill so its just like a movie ... so nothing wrong with, at least they continue to release chapters
I'm pretty sure if this gets out of hand (like 100 premium chapters) tons of rip sites will pop up. I really want a monthly membership to support this site, everything else is horrible imo.
noobslayer it was far similar from a movie.. cause they already have the released chapter at there hands, so the readers are more excited to read it and they can purchase as soon as they are capable of paying.. having no similar in span of time to be use.
Thanks, many thanks, at least I can stop being addicted to some novels. Good bye 'release that witch'.....farewell
Rokuman_24 he means similar to movies in way that the first release was not yet free and a couple of days it would be free, yah like in movies who pay first in cinema grant them to watch early and those who dont but waits, they access them free online in HD
I need an explanation RTW had a weekly of 14 free chapter per week u only increased 3 chapter from the original 14? We're is the 10 premium chapters because I'm not paying extra for no premium should be the free 14 plus 10 premium for a total of 24 chapters a week.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I really hope you live up to that promise. I have seen many broken promises on the internet but I would not mind watching as many ads as it takes to get my free chapters.
Rokuman_24 yupp almost similar to cinema, and that's ok with me.
oh boy its starting, just like everyone in the original novel translations community said.... I wouldn't have minded if they kept the adwall but now they're not satisfied with just that... sigh

Ok people, lets stop spreading misinformation. THIS IS NOT A PATRON KNOCKOFF, and here's why.
With patron, you pay for advance access to a set number of chapters. For example, $5 a month and you will always be 1 chapter ahead of free users.
Now let's look at the QI system.
Let's say we have a novel that releases 2 chapters a day, HOWEVER, free users only get 1 chapter a day.
The first day, free users get to read their one chapter, paid users get to read their 2 chapters. Paid users are now one chapter ahead.
The next day, the QI releases another 2 chapters however BOTH those chapters are locked behind spirit stones, only the second chapter from the FIRST day gets unlocked for free users. Paid users are now two chapters ahead. Now let's go to day 3, not only are both of the day three chapters locked, but even the second chapter from DAY TWO is locked. Paid users are now three chapters ahead.
Now, let's fastforward a year from now. I find a great novel and I start reading it. I get to the end of the free chapters and want to keep going because I love the novel and it's fun to read. I now have to pay to unlock THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY chapters.
Again, this is not a patron, a patron does not have an expanding pool of advanced chapters to read.
TL:DR
Locked chapters in a patron program:
Day 1 - 10 chapters (example number)
Day 2 - 10 chapters
Day 3 - 10 chapters
Day 100 - 10 chapters
Day 300 - 10 chapters
Locked chapters in the QI program: (assuming 2 chapters a day with 1 chapter a day for free users)
Day 1 - 1 chapter
Day 2 - 2 chapters (remember, free users still need that second chapter from day 1 unlocked)
Day 3 - 3 chapters (because free users are only now unlocking the FIRST chapter from day 2, the second chapter from day 2 is STILL locked)
Day 100 - 100 chapters
Day 300 - 300 chapters
i am little worried as i am seeing an increase in consumption but no increase in production except by adding cash but if i spend cash why would i waste it on this or any translation site (quality control is obviously not implemented as stated many times above by different people so why pay money for something that used to be a passion project but now is a machine needing to hit quotas what happens when translators burn out do they just get dumped and a new comes along with a pen paper and poor grammar and more importantly well i am too tired now to think of anything else a little miffed so ill let myself rant here maybe i mean maybe i just needed to vent but if i have to burn all of my stones and i only have like 400 just to keep up and need to pay ill have to drop this site because it would be not worth it i have over 400 bookmarks to several stories novels and web novels that have been accumulating but i chose here cause it had the least obtrusive paywall and decent rate of updates and OK quality but it seems things are changing to a more mainstream model of story hosting so ill stick around for awhile but i might as well catch up on the story about the slime who kills a draon and had nothing to do with any sort of chinese cultivating in any form whatsoever (ya i am definitely burning out on the cultivating thing that why i love RTW)
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL
let's say a novel release 3 times a week. would it go up to 17 times a week? bc if not there is no point and a waste of money if they keep releases the same amount
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL this new system is not too good and might need improvement... i have unlock some advanved chapter (about 4 or 5 chapter) and then next day i realize today free chapter is the one i unlocked.l yesterday... so i lose one free chapter here by unlocking it... maybe some small compensation... maybe partial stones returned??
Also the cost is too high... i have seen 18 stones one for one chapter... if you reduce the cost to earlier (4stones)... or max 8 stones... it will silently drain people pocket without they realize it... since it's cheap... but when the stones req is high per chapter per day... they will feel it and rebel to your system... you might not realize small leech sucking your blood... but when tiger bite you... you will feel it and flee...
Hope this system reviewed and improved...
