Skaz not only what was already replied, but there’s also the relative value of it comparing to SS or coins. Even if you can unlock, lets say a double chap os 24-25 SS using one pass or even a 16SS/Coin one it is still only one chapter. But not all novels are that expensive and not everyone reads the expensive ones.
We get 3pass a day+ 1 over the weekend (bs compared to the original 50ss). 22 chaps a week. Coins we get by reading rewards (70-80? Not sure) and the farming, technically. As I see the coins should be spares for privilege and chaps under it since the pass don’t work por it... or maybe when the passes are gone.
So lets focus on pass/SS as rewards to compare ok? 15SS from vid+votes, plus +- 27 daily login+multiply vid, and the previously 50SS from weekly check-in. I will not count the reading SS since it converted to coins. So, +-95SS per week? Seems very worthy. Unless you read cheap (3-4SS/chap) novels... or you are the type that hoarded 1k+SS to be able to buy privilege and unlock chapters cuz in that case its also not helpful since only coins can be used... or that you are an avid reader that read way more than 22 chaps per week of premium novels.
So even if it looks even better at first it’s actually not. It is slightly worse than the SS option. And along this year (or maybe since the start?) that’s been webnovel tatic. Slightly lowering the readers benefits over time to force us to buy whiteout causing a massive outrage (as happened when premium -locked chaps- was first introduced)....
