announcement for version 4.2.0
edit: lol, just saw your edit no. 2 :)
i put this just for sarcasm.
KiraAmor ...you do know what fast pass is for, right? Each fast pass unlocks a single chapter. So you can unlock 3 chapters.
All you can read is "nothing"? Are you sure? Normally you can only unlock 2 chapters with 15 coins (maybe 1 if each chapter costs 9-13 coins, especially the comics), but with 3 fast pass, you can unlock 3 chapters, and you're complaining about being able to read more? Seriously?
Ok, I have a big bug here that I want someone to explain to me. In my application in Google play, in the reading minutes, it's 5 ss stone. In my computer when I enter it, it's write 10 coins. But 1 coins = 1 ss.....so now it's weird
KiraAmor for my view, fast pass is good, as it fair too.. 1 fast past can unlock 1 chapter regardless how many word / long/short chapter inside.. This is same concept with other publisher.. So for me it fair.. Even expiry is same concept.. My only concern now is, once unlock will forever unlock or otherwise.
Might get what you means, it not enough cz your library have many novels inside
And looking forward to look in the member thing too.
Tomoyuki see if you read the books with 7 coins each chapter then yes fast pass is excellent. So compared to 15 coins it allows you to read 1 more chapter. Great! But if you don't follow those novels, let's say I read something with 1 or 2 coins per chapter cost in that case for me 5 coins are more valuable than 1 fast pass. It depends on the novel you read. For you it feels fair for me it doesn't, as simple as that. I do understand though what you are conveying.

KiraAmor Uh, which story only costs 1 or 2 coins per chapter? From my knowledge, minumum is 5 - spirit stones costs are calculated based on length, and a chapter costs 1 spirit stone/coin for every 200 words.
Minimum number of words a premium author can publish per chapter is 1,000 words if I remember the restriction or rules. So your premium chapters will always cost a minimum of 5 spirit stones.
KiraAmor I can tell you from personal experience that contracted authors are not allowed to publish premium chapters that are less than 1,000 words long. Since prices are calculated based upon length, a 1,000-word chapter should cost you 5 spirit stones minimum.
Maybe it must be one of the older novels before they put the restriction in place. But yeah, a strategic use of Fast Pass is necessary - obviously you would want to spend it on the more expensive chapters (or webcomics). One of the best ways is to get maybe 2 fast passes for the longer chapters on the PC site by voting with power and energy stones, then go to your phone app and get 10 spirit coins from checking in and multiplier. So you get the best of both worlds. Or 3 fast passes and 5 spirit stones (multiplier). Entirely up to you.

Probably translated novels, some cost just around 4SS per chapter and with 60% discount (SEA Region, not sure) it'll result with 1-2 ss only.
[unknown] Oh, discount. That makes sense. Why would you use free passes on discounted stories, though? That's not...worth it.
The fastpass expire. The chapters don't remain unlocked. Conclusion : The fast past is worthless to me. My daily life don't allow me to read every single day.
Tomoyuki yeah I know! I made that mistake 2 days consecutively as it's auto unlock and fast pass is used first.. no more visiting favourite novel first.. need to empty pass then onto fav novel. It's tempting to get the app for coins let alone other privileges, but I don't download apps on my phone not even FB..! So :( ...sigh
Is this a effing permanent shit? On website we are only going to get fast pass? No coins?
