DaruneAlbane this only happened for select novels moved into the premium program and not all novels across the site.
Stone chapter price increase
Wow, Qidian is really working hard to drain our SS hoards...
With 1600+ Spirit stones, I'll be able to skip ads for a while, but that's quite a hurdle to the newcomers.
I imagine the 100 SS welcome gift would bleed dry in a month, even factoring daily check-ins and the bonus from Power and Energy stones.
Veldora its time to abandon ship I suppose
The Spirit Stone price for Premium Chapters are determined by chapter length. Estimation of 200 words for 4 stones.
Lonelytree no, 200 words for 1 stone.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Whoops, my bad.
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL also this price change is only for novels in the premium pool from the looks of it right? not a novel wide change?
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.
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...
