not paywall because later on chapters become free for access. You just have to wait hahaha, dum dum.
paywall only if even after a set period of time all chapters of the book is locked behind payment but that's not the current business model~
It's a pity people here adverse at paying stuff when their information in FB and other social sites is actually sold for a few cents
is that what you want Qi to do tho
or do you want a pop-up ad appearing while reading, since you all want it for free
smh pitying the webnovel team attempting to talk to these people who just echo stuff without and value.
ThornFlower did i say in that post that the ss are expensive? why don't i see that on my read through?
also, is
ThornFlower one dollar for 50 ss is expensive?
depends on who you ask
It's business in the first place. Why didn't you see this through? They have employees to pay. It's a way of supporting the translators/editors or Qidian itself too. :3
queenofkahel though there is no free meal in this world but isn't it but too much
dmonkey i just got a free lunch this noon. .hahaha
miomoimeik since apparently it is not obvious, let me state that this is not posted in protest against payment, nor am i calling you stupid.
this is me saying that it is obvious to everyone that this is a paywall, and qi stating otherwise is them treating us as idiots.
though since i need to explain this explicitly, it appears qidian might be right.
I find this post rather misleading, true there will be premium option but it is for binge readers, many "off grid" sites do this, pay royalty for few more chapters per release. If you can contain your inner demons and chill out till next release you will have another couple of chapters for free. That simple. Another thing to note is the " ad/ spirit stone cultivation, as ive understood you can watch ads to build up spirit stones for further reading... And tell me. In what way is this paywall? It is maybe a smokescreen that you need to wait out to clear but it is not a damn WALL...
Leechers will rule the world~
shelwyn so you basically let your rights to get free daily chapter with paying premium chapter. It seems legit. Just watching till you run out of money
Just the beginning.
little_king yeah. Be my pawn. Jk. Lol

You do know they get revenue from ads. They don't do it for absolutely nothing. Just pointing it out
shelwyn I take it you've figured out if the bonus points does expire after 3 months or not...
Adventsprayer Its the way they go about it. I wouldn't mind canceling all of my patreon donations and just buy a premium monthly membership on Qidian, but they are doing something very crappy to the customers. I made a long post about it, you can look it up.
This is how I see it:

ThornFlower 1$ for 50 SS is expensive as that only gets you 12 chapters and 12 chapters for a Chinese novel are basically just 1 chapter of content and 11 chapters of fillers. So yes, it's expensive if you consider the fact that you can get pretty good books in the store for 2-5$ with a hell lot more of actual content.
Webnovels ToS back in december said that QI will apply charges for some stuff so it's nothing big..
queenofkahel all they can see was qidian is too greedy :3
