  • Premium System is a rip-off

Currently there’s only 4 novels which are premium(I think) and I only read MMORPG: The Legendary Guardian. Their original release schedule was 14 chapters a week. Now with the new premium system they made it 7 chapters a week and 14 chapters for premium or something like that. They are just cutting down the original releases and making us pay for what they hsed to give us. If they keep making more novels premium I feel like I won’t want to keep using this app.

    1 spirit stone is about 1 to 2 cents AND THEY EXPIRE.
    1 chapter could be 4 to 10 spirit stones= 8-20 cents PER CHAPTER. (Release that witch is 7 spirit stones/chp)
    So if I read only 20 chapters for 1 book once a week, I spend $1.60-$4.00
    Say I follow 8 books, $6.40-$24.00
    24 bucks/week WHAT THE F...ALMOST 100 DOLLARS A MONTH
    That's why F this MONEY SUCKING system. We need to pull support by not seeing ads, buying stones, and giving less traffic by going elsewhere to read the novels.

      i dont see the problem

      7 ch x week is a good release speed
      and you can still afford the premium ch with 10-12 ss for check in and 10 for voting the new novels

        This is isn't okay. I come here to read and chill out. This new system shits me off. Role this back to the previous way of four stone a chapter and no premium bullshit.

        Vanzuela Well Qidian seems looking more beyond what they can do for the benefit of the readers and for the company, you know sometimes it was really hard to accept the changes for the betterment of the system. cause it was like a norm for us. but changes always is the first step for a better quality of service,.

          lool90 No it's not, i'm sorry but 7/week for CNs with over 1000 chapters as the norm isn't enough imho.

          Taking a few chapters away i can barely tolerate, full on halfing the normal pace just encourages us to read on an aggregator site.

          Joshuaa If you read only one premium book(for example release that witch with 2chapters x 7ss) you only need to spend the minimum amount to have a premium account then you get around 20ss daily for free so there is no need to consume any of the stones that you bought(and those never expire - just the bonus one that you get for free but you spend those first automatically to read the book). You start to spend bought stones only from the second book premium book and even part of that is still covered by the free daily stones.

          Sure, if you read 8 books then you have to spend more, but I don't see the problem here, if I buy more books of course I spend more than if I buy one book, how is this different? You even have to option to wait for a few days(not sure how many) and get those chapters for free. I only read one premium book (Release That Witch) and even with the extra chapters that they release from time to time I still didn't had any problems with the stones and I didn't spent any of the ss that I bought. (I will start spending them soon if they continue to release 10 chapters per day but I really don't see that as a problem at all) I know that it was better for readers if all books were free, but they have to pay for the servers, authors and translators so I really don't mind to pay for the chapters that I read.

          Mute I just knew this time that atleast we had the chance to read some novels made by qidian/translated too.. while from the chinese they had only a chance to read the whole novel when they bought the whole chapters. so what is the problem with us?

            Mute Well, do you have any idea why the qidian just made this decision if you see that there is no improve in there service?

            • Mute replied to this.

              i just make multiple accounts.. both get stones. but its probly not sustainable. so i will likely stop reading after awhile. too bad tho the story was getting interesting.

                lool90 The other's are complaining cause they've been reading chap for FREE and was shocked because of the changes. It will die down soon lol.
                And yeah premium chap is attainable if you're patient haha
