HeavenShatterer ...you do know that Royal Road writers who use Patreon do the exact same thing, by restricting future chapters in case you don't want to pay? They literally require you to go to their Patreon page and unlock chapters by getting you to donate to them monthly.

There literally is no difference between donating to writers on Webnovel, or donating to writers on Patreon. The only difference is that you get free currency on Webnovel so you can unlock premium chapters without ever paying a single cent. On Patreon, however, if you don't want to donate monthly, you're pretty much screwed when the writer locks his chapters behind a paywall...because there is no free currency you can use to unlock them.

Well, duh, Qidian realized that the business model of free stuff wasn't sustainable and they need money to cover the costs of hosting the website and translations, of course they'll have to change the model and find a way to make money to cover the expenses. They are not a charity organization. If you've been giving out pies for free to your neighbors, and then realize you're running into debt from buying ingredients, cooking (gas and electricity), etc. you'll eventually have no choice but to charge your neighbors for your pies or stop cooking. Or should your neighbors complain and steal pies from you while you're not looking then? All because you gave them out for free in the first month before you ended up in debt?

    Tomoyuki Weekly bonus gift package has been reduced to 20ss right now, so for checking in 7 days consecutively, you can get 20ss in the app right now, which used to be 50ss. Also, the reading reward has been reduced to 30ss in total, which used to be 55ss in total. I can also show you the log of my weekend check-in bonus for an example

    This used to be a weeks weekend bonus and multiplier on the app for two days. So as you can see, it generally avaraged at 50ss, which for this particular week was 52. Sometimes it could give 48. Or sometimes more than 52 like the week in example. So yeah, it avaraged at 50 per week for the weekend bonus check ins.

    Ps. There is no more weekend bonus for check-in as far as i can see.

        N0xiety Wait, what? You get 50 spirit stones just for checking in during the weekends? I never got that. Checking in, you said? I only got 10 for checking in, and the multiplier only gave me another 10. Is this different from the other daily check-in?

        This is all I got:

        Why...are your weekend bonuses on the 8th and the 10th? What happened to the 9th?

        Do different people get different amounts of spirit stones when checking in? How does that work out?

            Tomoyuki sorry to barge in, you can claim that 50ss on weekend (especially on Sunday), just tap that nice wrapping gift, after you check-in every day. If not mistaken, that 50ss claim gift on the weekend start in Oct'2019.

            new version reduces to 20ss and only for apps.

                Tomoyuki It shows 8th and 10th because of timezone differences i would assume. I probably checked in early morning for the first day, and then late night for the second day(or maybe the other way around), so it shows like it happens in 3 day span. I know it doesn't make much sense from the times shown but that is probably what happened. I doubt it is logging my local time. As you can see, the expiration date is shown correct, since timezone difference doesn't matter to the expiration date.

                This is another example, 2 weeks before from now i think

                The +50 check-in is the 7 day consecutive check-in bonus, while the others are weekend check in (+15) and their multiplier bonuses.

                    [unknown] Yeah, I missed out on that for so long. :'(

                      Tomoyuki Oh and i have no idea why you got lower than 15ss on weekends, as i always got 15ss + their multipliers. Hmm, maybe the reward is regional? So different countries get different ammount of rewards? Or maybe it has to do with our level? Like a hidden multiplier? No idea, tho my account has been level 7 for some time now, what is yours? That could explain the difference if there was a hidden multiplier. It could also be that you didn't manually update your app, which got bugged and gave you less reward. Sometimes, the app can go haywire in all kinds of ways and may need manual update or re-install. Or maybe my app bugged, who knows lol. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                          Tomoyuki i feel like it's actually not that good of a thing that you got pinned, since now you have to deal with all these ignorant/entitled people :sleepy:
                          I don't get why wn can't have enough actual staff explaining these things to people & rely on the user base, who have no idea about the details of their plans/have the ability to fix/respond to some of the problems people are reporting.

                              how do u do daily login now, or it do it automaticaly bc the pop up for it is gone

                                  You guy's got rid of SS for Coins who thought this was an good idea, lot's of changes on here not all good....

                                  Wavin Stopped doing that for me an while ago you have to goto your profile earn rewards to find it.

                                      I'm, sorry for the stupid question but I don't want to read all of the posts. So where exactly do I find those free passes cause I honestly can't see them anywhere in the app.

                                        HeavenShatterer its very simple awe novel only approves you but book for an contract after you receive more then 1 million views and at least 2k collections I think...don’t remember the exact number but it’s a dang good filter so that readers don’t need to pay to read bad books.

                                            This system Is turning worse and worse. I am spender, fine, but I use free "coins" too. It started with privilage systém, I was really angry ... And I still am. After that you reduced coins received from video, I was angry too, but not so much. Now..., You introduced this shitty thing too Which you call "Fast pass". Which Is completly useless for me. Fine... If you introduce another shitty thing again, I will stop spending completly and move to another site. This Is my 1st post on this app site ever. I Hope that I wont be forced to post another thing as it is bothersome. I truly used to like this site, as I am member for really long time. But I am getting more and more fed up with this. No more changes!!!!
