I wonder who will use the farming mode now? There are only discount vouchers left, how we can use it with fast passes?
Introducing Fast Pass!
handmadesolace Yeah right... we all know very well they are using the authors and translators as an excuse since the beginning. From the start of the SS to unlock chapters to privilege and all the steps on the way that is the same reason given.
We are here exactly out of respect to them, but webnovelâs behavior is getting worse and worse readers-wise. This doesnât chance the fact that itâs very easy to find the pirated versions, that if you donât know them already. Webnovel itself knows about it and yet itâs money grubbing ways contradicts very much itâs pleas to read those works here.
Also, many of the older novels were already been translated fan for fan before webnovel decided to launch the English versions and bring those works back for themselves. Besides it gets harder to swallow the payment of authors and translators excuse when you see the history of qidian/webnovel and add to it the price of the novels compares to physical books.
No reader hates the authors and translators. But webnovelâs behavior. If they pay them so little that itâs needed to try to charge readers more at least 3x per year than how big is the difference of reading here or going pirate after all?
I started pirate. Came here due to respect for authors and translators jobs. Saw many going back pirate over the years. Will still stay here out of respect for the intelectual property of authors and translators. That is my choice. But will not condemn those who go pirate as I used to due to webnovelâs behavior.

handmadesolace I'm also a paying user but there are instances when I looking outside webnovel for their novels.
1) Webnovel or the author deleted/stopped translating the novel and only it's incomplete self/continuation can be found on pirated sites now.
2) Webnovel directly copy and paste complete novels over from other sites (I mean, they at least made attempts to "retranslate" in the beginning and negotiate with the original TL)
And 3) Go directly to the source and straight up machine translate it cus I don't want to wait years to find out what happens next.
I still come back and support my favorite authors and TLs but there are times when I would really, REALLY like a notice before the site changes things and then ghosts us smh
BluebellBerry and they ghosts us so, oh ao many times... even at the start of the year with so many translators going mia and novels going into hiatus and then being picked up by translator groups. And not a peep about it... we only got to know what happened trough some translators discord. They were given an ultimatum. Join a translator group under webnovel or get out of the platform. Some chose to get out... and that doesnât help not even a little to believe in âwebnovelâs respect and supportâ for authors and translators....
On another note... how the heck 1 free pass equals to the previous 50SS on the weekly reward??? Even the reduced 20SS were better than this. Thereâs no way to defend Webnovel this way... not with these sh*tty changes... u.uâ

Exinaus Ooh, I see. I was confused by the +5 coins since I only ever got exp. Makes sense nowâthey really changed those 5 coins quickly though ahah
Personally, I like fast pass because the type of fics I read have longer chapters anyway. The 3-5 ones usually are CEO romances anyway....
Also, farming is sorta addictive, not gonna lie. Kinda looking forward to getting that sitewide free voucher since it reminds me of that wonderful subscription (for readers) I paid for a while back...

dont worry guys, quidian wont become paywalled or addwalled.
dont worry guys, quidian wont become paywalled, it is just addwall, you know they have to earn money somehow.
dont worry guys, it isnt really paywall, at least they gave us SS, kinda enough to read and you know they have to earn money somehow.
dont worry guys, premium isnt much of paywall, chapters will be accessable after some time and at least we have SS, kinda enough to read and you know they have to earn money somehow.
dont worry guys, SS are being called coins now, and there are way less of them, but at least it's free and you know they have to earn money somehow.
dont worry guys, they took away coins now, but there are fast passes which can unlock chapter for a day, yes it's way less, but at least it's free and you know they have to earn money somehow.
Tomoyuki who do we contact about glitches? Im not receiving any fast passes when I watch the video or do the daily sign in?

handmadesolace Honestly, I used to care, and then I realized most of the stories on here went to shit after a few ten chapters. Besides, a ton of the originals here that cost SS are complete shit powerleveling or harem novels. Hell, a ton of the translated novels on here are shit too.
Thank god there are some good fanfics laying around on this site instead of wattpad or fanfiction.net, for whatever reason.
