Face_Smacking_Dao yep that's also my problem with this system. Either you put loads of money into QI or none at all. After premium chapter purchase you would have to wait for free chapters to catch up again to continue reading. So if I only have a limited amount of money (no whale), I would have to wait either way, then I'd be dumb to waste money on premium chapters.
I wouldn't be against it if you'd get a permanent bonus chapter, ahead of the free chapters, so you still get a steady flow of chapters after a puchase.

    I can check in everyday and read other novels, i won't spend my SS just in case if I need it in the premium chapters

      Humanity_will_Rise Well, Since you're new here
      WELCOME TO THE QIDIAN WORLD WHERE NOVELS ARE AWESOME!!!!
      anyway SS or spirit stones are some kind of money that you can use to unlock chapters

        OpEn_MiNdEd Some of Novels here is free and others have premium chapters. Premium chapters can only be unlocked using SS or Spirit Stones
