N0xiety Writers don't get anything from fast pass or free/bonus spirit stones. They only get paid if people use spirit stones that they purchase with actual cash or Paypal to unlock their chapters. Fast passes and free/bonus spirit stones (the ones you get from daily missions and check-ins) don't give writers/translators any money at all.

In essence, fast pass doesn't change anything for writers. If people were using free/bonus spirit stones to unlock their chapters before, they still weren't getting any money back then.

      Tomoyuki I don't think you have truly comprehended my comment. What you are saying is the base of the problem.

      The problem is, bonus ss wasn't a strategic resource, while fast pass is. You can use the fast pass on a short chapter, or you can use it on a long chapter, and the result will be the same. The cost, will be the same. The people who buy ss and spend real ss aren't stupid or lazy. There is no reason for them to not use their 3 fast passes each day when they can get them so easily. And what will they use it on? Which novels will they specifically use it on logically? They will obviously use their fast passes on the novels that have the longest and most ss costly chapters. So the popular original novels with long chapters will be where these people use their fast passes. Even if they were gonna pay for the chapters before, now they will specifically use their fast passes on those novels. Whereas before, the bonus ss usage of 'paying' people stayed completely random and diluted into many novels, the nature of fast pass as a strategic resource will concentrate the usage into specific novels. So popular novels with the longest chapters will become sacrificial sheeps in this system. What will this push authors to do then? It doesn't take much to guess right?

          N0xiety I don't know, I'm just too tired to care. What do you want me to do or say? People are calling me a webnovel bot and condemning me.

          I'm going to shut up from now on and leave the forums for good. Sorry for offending you, sorry for being stupid and ignorant, sorry for being a "bot".

          I'm done with this.

              Tomoyuki I think he means people who were spending actual ss on long chapters will just unlock those with fast pass, so authors and translators who were getting money will no longer get it cause people will spend fast pass on it.
              So they will starting writing smaller chapters to not be victims of it.

                N0xiety Contracted author can only make their chapters premium if the word count is 1k words now. If it is less than that, they cannot lock the chapters

                According to CKTalon, a fast pass is equal to the chapter length which means, it can be 4ss or more. Don't quote me on this, just saw him replying to some thread 🤣

                    Lin_XiaoLong I know that there are many original novels with very short chapters that cost 4 - 5ss even now. So if this is a new rule, idk, tho i wouldn't hold my breath.

                        I don’t care about fast pass the thing i was excited a bout was the transition Function but I can’t find it 😑

                        N0xiety It's new, recently implemented. So old chapters can't be changed but new one, they need to be at least 1k words

                            Right after they add this there comics haven't been loading or they load half a page not its not being fixed this has been going on for days and for something no-one asked for/needed "fast passes" the coins worked just find and those comics loaded !!! Now they don't

                                      Thanks for the information. I'm using the app, but I only get Fast pass and no coins. So how exactly do we get coins now?

                                          I’m just sad the 3 free novels/day are gone... at least I didn’t find them on my app...

                                              Tomoyuki Hi, I understand that Webnovel is making changes, and Thank you for taking your time to explain those things to us.

                                              However I do want to let you know that even the app gives 3 Fast Passes per day. No coin Check in or voting. I use the app for reading.
