Zenobys One of the advantages would be that we would get a share of income even after the title has ended.

How would this happen? When the title ends and all the chapters become free eventually, how will you keep earning? Are you implying that some chapters will always be kept behind paywall and one can't finish a novel if one doesn't pay? Since that's what i understand from that statement.

Or are you implying that you will still get ad income from the novel even after it ends? But what does that have to do with premium? You should get the ad income even without the premium implemented right?

    N0xiety The ad income is running at a loss. Once a story finishes being translated they can just have the translator translate another story. See what they're doing is have the translators translate (example of a short word count chapter story) 5 chapters a day. They keep the public release to 1 chapter a day and the premium to two chapters a day and build up 2 chapters a day in extra for later. So now you have a story with say 800 chapters. The user if free is going to come back say daily. Every day the free user is going to come back give the site a hit or an ad watch and read their chapter. For years. The paid users will just buy the 80 chapters extra and be in their way or come back daily and spend. Mean while they've built up 90 chapters of completely unreleased chapter to premium or free in three months because the translator is working by contract and likes to work for more money.

      shelwyn I didn't ask you. You don't know better than a translator who can talk to the staff. Please don't try to answer a question you have no inside information about.

        shelwyn Logically makes sense.
        But it will not be long term unless they work for it. That means they have to translate a lot now.

        N0xiety You can talk to the translators on the discord I am getting this stuff from them. Im not talking out my arse. I'm a patreon to a lot of translators too so I join the smaller webnovel specific discord channels and talk to them as well.

        Some are fine with it, some want to wait and see how it works our for the other translators bedore leaving patreon. Some dont want to leave patreon bevause it gives all money to the translator unlike quidan system that gives money to the platform quidan, the author who wrote that story your reading, and the translator as well.

        A lot of the translators do this as their job. Some of the larger groups see it as a business to run.

          Zenobys You were not kidding when you stated it’s a long post. Thanks for shorten version at the end tho.

          I would be lying if I say I am not bother by the premium. Yes, I am bother. I am concern. Why? Because I am a cheap person. As long as I can read novels for free on QI I don’t give a darn about the set back. As of the moment, the novels I am currently reading have one update per day. Some day, there is no updates at all and I still survived. If QI free premium is similar to that (and correct me if I am wrong) then I am fine with it. Besides, my favorite novels are not even host on QI.

            I dont understand, in the end, it will be free
            Theres too many untranslated novel in here, it just nightmare if everything turned to premium.
            I hope this update will give QI dev some feedback to improve their system. Maintaining this app/web to be better. I use QI app because its easy to use. So, Tax+Dev+TL+ED, they need money, its normal. Dont forget, they need income too, its bussiness. This thing is not from fans :'(
            Just give them feedback, what we need, and what they need, good for us, good for them.

            I am curious though, for example a novel has 7 free chapters and 7 premium chapters a week, if you use ss to paying for 5 chapters, do you get 2 or 7 free chapters in that week?

            In short, when a free chapter is released, do you get another free chapter on top of what you paid for?

              SRandom I don't think so. It is like you pay for time instead of the chapter. You pay SS to get the chap a day advance.

                I'll probably support the new Qi in every other days, comparing the prizes from the two sites.
                I'll probably save 10% when I read here. still what a pleb like me can do. /shrugs/

                  Zenobys i dont know about financial things in QI but i interpretation it as if you pick your rights to read premium chapters then you will lose your rights get free daily update. It is same as money blackhole and why we lose our rights in the first place even we pay it for lose it

                    i dont mind with premium user, they deserve advanced chapter, my problem is the premium chapter wont change back to free chapter if there's a new chapter update, all the new chapter update will become premium chapter and old premium chapter will stay premium.
                    for example RTW: they will realase 17 chapter a week, 7 free chapter + 10 premium chapter
                    and now i stuck at chapter 695 since yesterday with 12 premium and no free chapter at all, old premium chapter stay premium and its not even a week yet
