UnhingedTaboo Yes, it's only a matter of time.
I'll try to finish the stories exclusive (??) here asap, as I imagine the "pricing" would only get worse.
Stone chapter price increase
All the change means to me and many other readers once something goes to the premium Side Would need to make the decision on which one of the premium we will read all the rest will get dropped
What much rather have A monthly subscriptionThat unlocks everything and you couldn't use the stones to vote on the stories you are readingTo find all the subscription fee to the translation group that are doing your novels that you are reading

so i thought now would be a good time to pull some concepts i learned from econ
@WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL, imagine this graph
this is just a simple curve illustrating the relationship between the producer and the consumer. Now, look at what happen when you arbitrarily increase the price of your goods. the demand for said product decrease, and the quantity also decrease as a result. This phenomenon is what i think is happening here
DaruneAlbane u still get free chapters tho so u dont need to drop them just let them stock up a little
Miya Makes sense... thanks for the graph!
Miya if that happens and they stop releasing alteast 1 free chapter a week for novels there are always alternatives not gonna affect me. I personally might buy a few SS per month if i really like the plot of the story or some shit but if they go full retard then i just wont give them money not my loss
One thing I'm wondering,
If I unlock 1 premium chapter with spirit stones, let's say chapter 105 (with the current free chapters being at 104), then next day will the free chapter unlocked for me be 106, or will that premium chapter 105 that I unlocked become the free chapter released to everyone.
The amount of SS you need to unlock a chapter varies from the chapter itself...
Oh boi
hope everyday some chap are unlock automatically. so FREE SS. if not then Bye Bye

KodokJenius From the looks of the current schedule 1 chapter a day for each novel is free unlock
Shit, this what i afraid. Someone predict that Qidian will make a paywall for chapters and now it begining of sign of paywall coming. Paywall confirm guys.
Miya Haha. Yeah you got me there.
Well, I'll just read as many stories as I can, until the my stock of Spirit Stones is expended.
As I see it, Qidian will definitely, eventually adwall those novels not currently on the top rankings, and perhaps even extend the adwall to chapters translated within 2 weeks.... (YIKES !! Negative thinking101)
...
Afterwards, depending on how much I like the stories, I would:
- Read it through MTL (hopefully it won't damage my meager understanding of the English language too much
- Take advantage of other fan translation sites (if I can find them)
or - Swallow my rage and just drop the story. Wait for the manga/manhwa adaptation. Vent my hatred in YouTube. Watch local Telenovelas, cartoons, etc. Attempt to rebuild my social life. Anything at all. But I won't purchase SS even when held at gunpoint.
Sphiinnx we are much better yes, but will we be in the future?
And it is very hard to go from smooth sailing to this. A poor man is accustomed to being poor but for a person to go from being rich to poor, it would be a huge blow.
