PeytyWap huh ? there's is other option to earn ss

Flaffy I wrote “Translators and editors here” in my post. I was referring to the novels HERE. Sure it will be business as usual for other sites if QI shuts down but I am talking about the novels HERE that will be dropped as a result.
If you think that without money as a motivation, the number of chapters released or the amount of novels actually translated out there would remain as how it is presently, may I suggest that you actually look back at the state of translated webnovel scene before people started monetizing it. Yes, there will still be people translating. Will the weekly release be as high if money is out of the equation? Will some novels even continue being translated by the same translated if money is out of the equation? No. Note the SOME I wrote there in case you think I’m saying ‘OMFG WEBNOVELS GONA DIE NOBODY GONA TL ANYMORE”

Flaffy so what do you want ? let qidian make free for everyone ...

Darnsky people keep yelling "qidian too greedy!" just because qi try to earn more money (as any company should), but they fail to see that their judgment came from their own greed (i want moar chaps! faster! i want it all free for good) #Lol

AreYouTheEye earning money is one of the way of qidian to make stand for its company, why some people complaining about the new update of qidian, I dont get it why some readers want it for free, its one way to support them and yet there are some selfish people -_-

Flaffy Haha, reading your post is such a waste of time. The mods are very active in the "bugs" section. There are announcements every now and then about major bugs. You have the book of answers waiting for updating due to, again, bugs, which are waiting to get fixed. Any bugs people see are fixed in a day or two, so I don't really understand what you're on so that "readers money will be safe". If you actually look around, no one among those who actually used their money have complaints, or their complaints were already answered. So yeah, you're just an entitled joke. Lmfao.

Policies. Hahahahaha

Demand whatever you want, wow. Anyways, I don't see any point in your post. QI has always been some sort of early access site/game, with new features being added over the months, and they are not stabilized at all like people seem to make them out to be. There are only 4 premium novels, and there are strict criteria to become premium novels, not to mention the amount of time required for the translator to be part of it. All the unpopular novels with a release rate of 7 and below will never see the light of premium (which is like 50 percent or even more of the novels in qi), so you can alternatively just read them, or, you can just suck it up and become a little bitch like GoGo

HugeJin is there a reason why "it will translate into a paywall, eventually" ?

Luta So, do you really want me to expound on this? Let's go back to xianxiaworld. Do you even know that site? They were the first ones to do a fixed rate, and they died within 4 months. They pay their translators from 25 to 40, depending on popularity—money given first, then money taken back first. I don't have complete data, but I remember when I was there, the manager of xxw said that the cost was around 20k USD, more than 100k usd for like 20 novels in 4 months.

Now, you look at qi. QI started back at January, at March, they already have 100 novels, with varying rates, at least from the "leaked" contracts, it should be around 25 usd to 40 usd too. So let's pick a number. 30 USD multiply to 100 translators, and say if they do only 30 chapters a month, how much is that? 90,000 USD. Keep in mind that other translators do 50, even 100 chapters a month. Now you work that around, March to December, multiply that. 10 months, so 900k USD. That's just the minimum possible, because by September QI already has almost 200 novels. Do you truly believe a meager amount can cover that?

Do I have an insider info? Well duh. I'm even earlier in QI than Chrissy, I just left due to being busy with real life. I still keep in touch, and any sane person will know and understand that qi is operating at a massive lost while investing a few millions to the translators and wow, why did I even forget, "editors".

AreYouTheEye what's wrong with them ? this is why improvement is hard to accept by the others because they cant adapt changes

AreYouTheEye Well I don't understand them.Still they can earn some SS for free If they afraid spending their money.

Flaffy That was told a million years ago, with everyone explaining they expire in 6 months. Honestly, what are you on? You're so active in the forums now, but you are not active during the time when everyone was made to understood the bonus stones expires while permanent ones do not?

Hahaha, then don't read. You wish for people to argue with you then not listen to them. That's self-entitlement at its finest. Kudos to you then.

QI can improved, but if you stare at them, you will they are nothing but an early access game that needs to thrive to implement more features. One year ago, QI didn't have a book of answers, didn't have mods, didn't have developers who answers to bugs, and didn't have a forums for anything—AND NO ONE WAS COMPLAINING LIKE A LITTLE BITCH LIKE YOU. QI will improve, but it will take time, it will take money. The implementation has been slow, any changes, any improvements, they all come with time. And here you are, just because QI released a new feature, demanding all the changes, all the betterment that QI has been implementing and developing steadily the past few months to come right away. I don't understand? Where were you when QI didn't have all this shit? Where are the posts in NUF? You only say about QI will improve now that there is a new feature, but don't say all this shit when QI was at the beginning phase of the forums, when QI didn't have mods or devs fixing things. Hahahaha, you're a funny little "flaff".

I understand the logic behind the change being nobody continues doing business in the red. I just wish it would be simplified to a yearly subscription either per novel or for a monthly charge for access. I think then people wouldn’t be intimidated by the high cost per chapter. Think of it like if you suddenly throw a big hamburger in front of people; some would just stare at it wondering where to start while some would cut it in half and others would just pick it up and take a bite.

Arch you will see*, and fuck all the other typos.

Flaffy so you're trying to be a devil's advocate huh

Flaffy You started complaining but not as intense as this. Why? Because you're a hater. Nothing is good in your eyes. QI is so much worse months ago. But you weren't on discord, either. And now you decide to be the devil's advocate? Hahahaha.
