Hyper_pumpkin they are always complain for something
its either you're one of the cons or pros
Premium System is a rip-off
Hyper_pumpkin trueeeee,
that's why reading is life
huskybreed Yeah I expected that
Cause its not fair to others
noobslayer And also help us to improve how we communicate others
Hyper_pumpkin yeah , I can see that
Hyper_pumpkin I got my cellphone here,
Always knew paywall was going to appear just be glad we had it free as long as we did
For all the morons that don't understand that this is a rip-off:
Immortal Mortal
1231 chapters total
702 chapters translated
529 chapters left
100 stones for. 99 cents
$63 to stay up to date
I would pay $5 for if this was a regular novel. While it is distracting, it isn't great reading. I do it more as a guilty pleasure. Equals rip-off.
The translators are losing money because of this according to Patreon. While this could just be them trying to make themselves look better I doubt it. I also find it highly unlikely that the original author is seeing any of this additional income. Equals rip-off.
Quidian has a track record of being an unscrupulous company and this is just another example of that. For all of you idiots out there defending them, I doubt the validity of your account.
Good day.
got the same problem bro. :(

I don't exactly see a problem with the system itself.
The only thing thats making me uneasy is the fact that apparently with the double release speed from premium chapters, you have a potentially Huge diference between the free chapters and the premium ones.
Say i someone started reading today a novel that just became premium with a release schedule of 7free/14premium a week.
if you are constantly as soon as its out you should technically have to pay for a chapter a day right?
but what if a month from now you start reading the same novel?
the premium chapters are already 28 or more chapters ahead of you.
And thats the best case scenario.
In the other case, you have to pay for 1 chapter on the first day and 2 every day after.
Because technically the chapter YOU ALREADY PAID FOR YESTERDAY is the free chapter of the day.
and if for some reason you don't pay for a chapter to get a free one after a Month or so, well you have to wait half a month for that.
I understand the Logic behind the system. it makes sense to pay more for more content, but there is a slight problem when what you paid for becomes free after and you have to keep paying to maintain your reading.
If the system counted the chapters you paid for when providing access to more chapters i would feel more comfortable with it, because hey, if you want to pay to read ahead thats your choice.
tl;dr: nothing wrong with the system itself per say, but it would be less aggressive towards us if bought chapters somehow counted when determining what we get for free.
You essentially lose a chapter you paid for daily.
I am reading immortal mortal and as i didn't like tout wait to read the last chapter i bought somme spirit stones to unlock them.
But i found the 11-12 ss a little too much.
A third of that would be more affordable as It is already for other titre.
A fixed standard of ss by chapter for all book is a must.
True but it's how they gather money, of course. Just to keep this place alive. One thing's for sure, it's not a good idea to have a lot of novels that is premium..
Doubt anyone will read but heres a piece of my mind. First all was free.. thn the ads came.. this i do not mind basically just delaying the reading for about 15 seconds not much.. and now this premium thing came... honestly with the way this premium is.. or at least the way i see it.. this looks like a friendly scam... so ur telling me i can pay like 20$ and have 15+ chapters available to me on the spot.... well now i ask this... with 20$ i can just go to a library and purchase a physical FULL edited revised translated or not book.... i know the contents won't be the same has there's a major difference between oriental and western writting but to be honest it's something i can live with... now you may argue but chinese novels are bigger so you wouldnt pay just 20$ for a chinese book... well to that i say... ye id pay like 60$ for a book same size and itd be completed and not just tease me with like 1/40 of the book content....
Tldr i guess....I don't really like this new system and personally i feel like this is just a way for squeezing money from the qidian users.
Same here bro
yabbahx For me, I can wait a couple of days. Reading is just my hobby you see, and it's nothing for me to wait I'm patient. Yes you said that we can buy books with 20$ but for me it still different in webnovel ( at least for me) novels here keep me entertained lol and I just have to carry my phone instead of five books cause its pretty heavy lol hahaha Though I myself haven't purchased SS >_> I'm just a poor man T_T Well as a free reader I can't really complain cause I'm still reading for free hahaha Tho you have a point there mate :D
