ImperfectInfinity Nice observation 
Introducing the Premium program BETA, giving you advanced chapters!
This system actually same with VIP in Qidian Chinese
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL
I don't quite understand, so if RTW got 10 advance chapter and some would be released for free each day, is that mean I could keep reading the released chapter for free some time later?
Rokuman_24 so u business minded ?
Lovemusic101 when it comes to like this yeh, but business was not really my specialty just knowing a little idea how it really works.
Rokuman_24 me too, but when it comes to money, I gain knowledge about businessess
Lovemusic101 hahaha so you have the idea for entering in the world of entrepreneurship hehehe

ImperfectInfinity but the translators almost all of them have patreon so this ppl you talk about probably already pay a lot for having chapters early so what's the difference?
Wildy well shit happens the euro is more valuable but I always see the 1-1 ratio with the dollar on the internet.
unexpectedname0 Do they? I heard from someone that all of the translators were told to take down their patreons by Qidian as part of their contracts. It was just some guy on the forums, so that could be wrong. Also, what you said doesn't really negate anything I said about the current pay model being exploitative.
Wildy yeah that's for sure.
ImperfectInfinity all the translators on qidian quit from patreon? But when? Few months ago i was a patreon of library of heaven path for example. I mean yeah is excessive but I think is the same system they have on the Chinese page they are just copying it, maybe some things need to change I mean we are not Chinese ppl, someone few comments above write that some premium chapters are already hosted on different pages so they need to rethink the premium model imo.
unexpectedname0 I will be honest when I say that I am not sure about the patreon thing. I just read it on one of the threads a couple of weeks ago. Someone said it was in the translators/editors contracts, but I have no evidence to back that up. I was more framing the statement as a question, sorry for the confusion.

GregLuck yes you can keep reading the released free chapters, in the end you could eventually finish the novel from reading those free chapters. the problem is you'll be far left behind (after a while) by premium users (those who use ss to unlock the premium chapters) because premium chapters are a lot more compare to free chapters. this is why some readers complaint.
some said that it is some kind of bait, to make readers buy ss (because they don't like to be left behind, can't wait too long, or fear they would become a grampa/ma when they finish the novel xD).
ImperfectInfinity I think it was from the former translator of CCG on his website that mention about the Patreon problem
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I tried buying coin in Chinese qidian and donating my favorite author which is not here. Had to pay almost 40% more than Chinese ppl coz of fee, FML lol
I wish qidian added bitcoin/webmoney as payment option. I would buy much much more. I'm not gonna pay 140$ for 100$ lol
But it's a good thing to use coin instead of flat money, coz i think i bought 6000 coin with 10$ and 1 chapter was like 10 coin, it's a pain to write 0.001666667 $ as the price for a chapter lol
i am on premium bitches, bought only 1 dollar. lol all for that tuxedo (premium member first 100 only tag, looks like a tuxedo suit)
