CKtalon Is this true?
Lin_XiaoLong 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
Because if not, i can already foresee the problems that will stem from the fast pass system.
As you can also realize, it doesn't take much to guess that the fast pass usage of paying readers(those who actually buy ss) will be concentrated on popular original novels that have the longest chapters. After all, just because they are paying, doesn't mean they are lazy or stupid. Paying readers still used the bonus ss they could get back then, and now they will still use the free passes as they are intended. Just because they are paying, doesn't mean they don't use these resources. But the thing is, fast pass is a strategic resource, while bonus ss wasn't. By that, i mean fast pass can be used on both a high ss cost chapter and low ss cost chapter for same effect. So it is obviously better to use it on a high ss cost chapter(longer chapter). Bonus ss usage of 'paying readers' was completely random and diluted into many novels, but it doesn't take much to guess where the fast pass usage naturally will be concentrated. Which will obviously make the authors of such popular stories cut down the chapter length to not be the first novel 'paying readers' dump their fast passes into. Basically, they will also have to strategize to not be the sacrificial sheep in the system...
