Introducing the Premium program BETA, giving you advanced chapters!
price for unlocking chapter is so high. it usually 4 ss now its 10+ ss TT
oh well. i will just read once a month. hopefully they will give enough free chapters
Well, I used to watch ads to get the premium chapters.
Now I guess I just won't pay anything. Unless the ads have a 1 or 2 to 1 payout, I'm not watching more than two ads for every chapter. Basically, you went from making some money to making zero.
That doesn't sound like a good business model to me.
On IM not one of the premium chapters has been automatically unlocked or ad locked so far. 695 is SS locked and the premium release is up to 713 now. How is that 10 premium chapters ahead?
The rollout was wrong. You guys should have lowered IM release rate from 21 down to 7 chapters a month in advance of Premium. Now it just looks like you took away 14 previously free chapters and slotted them before a Premium Wall. @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL
Also if the video for spirit stones was 2 weeks out, why not wait until that was ready before rolling "Premium" out?
So, in a web novel if the premium release is 14 chap/week and normal is 7 chap/week. Then even if a user spends ss on chapter 2(premium chapter) he would not get a new chapter the next day (next day release will be chap 2). He would have to keep spending money to be ahead of the normal user?
This system seems broken!
OldManDuotian it depends on length of the chapter, some of these novels im reading are short, few hundred words per chapter, so i might get cheap premium chapter for it.

Just a little curious about exactly how the system works. Currently, up to chapter 693 is free for Immortal Mortal. If I purchase say 10 chapters, up to 703, what happens for the next day's release? Since I already have chapter 694, does nothing happen or does the system compensate and release chapter 704 for my account instead?
Edit: If it is the latter, I don't mind paying at least some money for this website. However, if it's the former, I will not be spending any money (unless maybe to unlock the end of a book when translation completes). The reason goes like this: If I purchase a bunch of chapters, then if no more free chapters are coming in, then I need to pay to maintain the "free" release speed. For instance, say I purchase 100 chapters ahead, and a chapter costs 10 stones. If I want to maintain the 100 lead (ie: maintain the free release speed), in 500 chapters, I will have spent 5000 stones, which is rough ~35$ for no gain pretty much.
I stacked up 2265 spirit stones without purchasing any... how are you guys running out of them...?
Why is
What else does the Premium Program BETA provide?

What is the Premium Program BETA?
Few weeks is too Long. Please bring the watching ads for SS faster. I am already broke and suffering... All my stones have been consumed!

Sacredwisp The former. Since you already have "694", you get nothing.
This coming from a guy that paid up to 702 :)
I wouldn't say no gain as you got to read ahead and satisfy yourself story wise earlier than others. But as you noted, the only way to maintain that is to keep spending SS..
Release that witch became 1 free chapter a day instead of 2 after this update came out.
Sounds Good with me especially those times that the Cliffhangers almost kill me LMAO :)
Just think of it as supporting the author whose been giving you inspiration and something to look forward everyday
Suggestion: it would be better if you can add another method of payment aside from Paypal.
Lot of people having bad opinions about Premium, my understanding is that one will still get at least 1 chap a day depending on series/translator, I wonder how many here remember the days of chapter releases for Novels were random and 1 chap a day was consider speedy?
Nerodragon12 One such novel was Swallowed Star, man you could check every day hoping for at least one chap, mostly only got one a week in the early translation scene.
A shit now to be able to read Immortal Mortal for each chapter asks for 12 gems, I find a theft, temporarily stopping reading this novel and how good it was ..
im okay with this . as long the pace for free readers is constantly like this. it same with the patron, you need to pay to access earlier. but the free chapter constantly release like usual. try to buy the ss. but when it come to pay channel. i just aware im really a poor bloke. thanks for reader who bought the ss to support the translator and author. just hope the release chapter for free reader who depend on free ss constantly release. i really a leecher with the hobby of reading light novel. but if one day it come to i really need to pay to read online chapter by chapter. might spend money a few times , and end up finding new hobby.
