Miya Hehehehe I don't think its a sign since they offer free premium
Maybe its just a beginning

    WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Question for QI. If I purchase ss to read ahead in a light novel and I unlock say 10 chapters to read. After I finish those chapters and further chapters come out (locked) and I decide that I want to use the PFF system for a bit before my next ss purchase, will the PFF still unlock one chapter of the new chapters from the novel everyday or will I have to wait 10 days till the PFF catches up to the 10 chapters I used ss to unlock before it starts to unlock chapters for me. If that’s the case wouldn’t it be a huge demerit for people to purchase ss as their wait time just as long as not purchasing ss unless they start to read all chapters using ss?

      well and for now it's seems they are not releasing "free chapters" in novels with premium system... or atleast that was what i notice looking at a novel that i don't read in the pff system. "bringing the nation's husband home" has locked the chapters '453 why didn't you want my child? (14)' locked till chapter '466 Peaceful and beautiful times (7)' a few hours ago and now they released two more chapters 467-468 and yep new chapters locked but not unlocked old chapters... so if this continue then a month or so in the future there will be hundred's of locked chapters...

        Argantonio Not true.

        WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL In the PFF, we will release one or more premium chapters from the premium titles based on a schedule

        However, due to the phenomenon brought up by gunsxxroses, if you had previously bought the PFF chapters with SS, it may take a while for the free releases to catch up to you (this is however not new to the Qidian system, it's what naturally happened with locked chapters, just now there's no ad unlock option, it's more expensive, and less releases).

        For instance, I bought a couple of premium RtW chapters because there was a cliff I had to overcome. After that, I stopped buying them. However, for the next 2 days, I did not see any free chapters (since I was ahead), until today, when Chapter 695 was released for free.

          WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL does It mean no more videos to watch for new chapters or are you going to create a program where watching videos earns us stones

            MysticalOrigin I read in both sites, but I think that after this couple of days with this new Premium System everyone can see that is just broken.

            I don't mind to pay, for me it doesn't affect me and my wallet in the end of the month. I just think that there is no clear value to be a Premium user right now.

            If this company wants to make real profit than is really simple.

            1. Remove Spirit Stones (We don't need it);

            2. Every single chapter is FREE to read but is blocked by Video Ad, if you want to read than watch the Video Ad.;

            3. Premium chapter should never be displayed and visible to Free Users;

            4. Premium user should be treated just like Patreon Patrons. Implement a tier system.

              a. Tier 1: All ads are removed and the Premium user can access to x number of Premium chapters

              b. Tier 2: All ads are removed and the Premium user can access to 2x number of Premium chapters

              c. ...

            5. Don't like the Tier System, OK. Implement what other companies are doing and are successful. You have Netflix, Sony (PSN), Microsoft (XBoxLive) ...

            You guys are trying too damn hard. Keep it simple.
