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)....
nst dear you don’t even need this... just google the title and it will probably appear 2-3 “alternatives” for you to read it on... smh... webnovel is acting as if it has a monopoly of it’s content and forgetting the internet is not a place where people would totally disregard benefits to use an official channel. It’s kinda funny and ironic that many of it’s translators and translated works initially came from those same sources... I still remember the fight over TKA and others... xD
I only use fast pass on a chapter so wasteful and use on coins in great to re-read and re-downloaded. But the downgraded on this update is that the coins(ss) only gives me 5 a day on ads. And the chapter is soo expensive and it expire after a months of savings. I want the old system back
@Skaz my bad, I was wrong in my reply. It was bought to my attention that the reading weekly rewards are not even coins they are points the ones in the store where you need at least 4k to get anything.
So yeah... coins can only be bought. And used to buy privilege and unlock it’s chaps...
Which means the SS we used to get there would still count on those calculations... so... lets say 25SS? More or less depending on how much you read that would be add on the weekly SS count... which in turn... would make the fast pass even less worth... so yeah... Sad huh?

Nizze its not like that, the other site just copying from here. translators will not make translation again if no income, and other site will halted as well.
we will buy some coin if have spare money, but we dont want to be forced to buy coin.
i dont care to qidian, but im cares to translators.
qidian bougth them (novel) to be translate, so its monopoly.
everydayismonday You’re new here huh pal?
Read. It. Again:
Nizze It’s kinda funny and ironic that many of it’s translators and translated works initially came from those same sources... I still remember the fight over TKA and others... xD
Meaning: The Kings Avatar (TKA) as many other novels (the oldest and more popular) were already being translated FOR FREE in other sites BEFORE Qidian, now Webnovel decided to launch an english version. There was fighting, poaching, lawyers and a lot of confusion at that time. When they came back to Webnovel (to what I agreed was what was right and still do) they were free. Not use free SS to unlock it but free to read. The right name for locked novels is PREMIUM and it was not the mainstream it is today.
Yes, many of those sites source them from here. But there’s also many novels not licensed by Qidian being translated for free out there. If the translators that work for Webnovel (I bet you also don’t know all translators that refused to sign contracts with them were kicked out) decided to drop the novels (what they also cannot do since they signed it) the novels would yes go on hiatus. Until someone decided to translate it for free again out of a wish to share a novel they like with others. As it was before Webnovel.
Also. Webnovel overprices its services. Just compare the prices of books and films... even service providers like Spotify and Netflix don’t dare to overcharge like this.
And about monopoly. Nice utopia you live on. Nothing in internet is a true monopoly. Disney doesn’t have it, Sony doesn't, Japanese mangá industry doesn’t. And you’re thinking lil cute Webnovel will beat all big fish in the world and monopolize it’s intelectual content?
I’m against piracy, but am even more against being taken as stupid and agreeing to be overcharged for a service. And the reason those big fishes don’t overprice their services and products is because if they do people stop using the “official channel” to get them.
I’ll be nice and give you an example: SPOTFY. Its a nice official channel. And it’s monthly fee is not high right? But what do you think if they charged per music? 5 cents lets say. I for sure know I listen more than 500 songs per month. Which would be more than 25$ per month. But that’s the standard 3 min music, if they charged more or less per song time... that price would go up. Now let’s talk about it’s free service. What if they limited it to 25 songs per week? 100 per month. A far cry from the 500 right?
Do you know what would happen? People would look for other providers. Or even, just go back using sites to extract the mp3 audio file from their mv’s on YouTube. And theres way to many of those sites out there to be taken down.
And that’s pal, is how the menace of piracy controls how products and services are not overpriced. Get it now?
There’s a bottom line that they don’t cross to not loose customers, users or what you may call it. A fine line that Webnovel has been insistent on crossing. They’ve been pushing users limits for a whole year and now crossed the line. And that’s why users are giving up on it and going pirate.

Nizze im understand bro, we agree agains qidian webnovel.
feel free read on another site and support translators but not that copying from here.
im here to read new novel, my source is novelupdate for old novels, im follow links novelupdate provide that goes to original translator.
final : we dont need fast pass as reward, they say, "fastpass is trash".
everydayismonday nah I also don’t read from the sites that are copying... I rather go look for the unlicensed ones and support those authors and translators... xD
I used to be stuck up about reading from those sites... I still think is wrong, but if they limit the free users like that I can’t judge them... even more if I’m told free users are not supporting since they aren’t buying...
After I’ve read that I was like: so why are you complaining about them leaving? XD
I’m not caring anymore... xD
Happy holidays
