No not even daily check-ins, voting power stones and energy stones gets you coins anymore it's all gone. You only get fast pass from them. They've realized that people were getting enough coins from all the reading, voting and check-ins and have gradually lowered or taken away the ability to get coins, and they weren't getting enough people buying coins. Now the only way is to invite a friend and buying them. Which is what they want you to do is buy the coins. Also since the fast pass doesn't work on Privilege Chapters it pushes you to buy more coins to unlock the chapters after you just bought coins to unlock Privilege.

They have taken Capitalism to another level in the worst possible way.

    Well. My fast pass was too fast for me to use. šŸ˜† I earned it and within a nano second it vanished before my eyes. Guess it's back to using old fashioned coins.

      Fast pass is garbage should have kept the coins. If they wanted money make the real money to coin ratio better.

      Fast pass is just s*#t, everyone says so. But since they want to force us to pay in order to have coins, they continue with them and ignore the critics of everyone. So yeah, ty webnovel.

      This new update is worse than sh. We don't get free coins anymore and we can't unlock privileged chapter with free pass shs. It seems like Webnovel is forcing people to buy coins. And every chapter has a note from the author, to not read the chapter from other sites where it's free? I support authors but is webnovel giving people much of a choice? I can only read 3chapter a day with free passes anyways šŸ™„šŸ˜’

        nst WN has been anti consumer for a while now, they are basically EA of novel. I wonā€™t be surprised if they come out with a loot box of some sort.

            Steve3000 true. Plus, not everyone buys coins, some people only use free coins (like me). And I really don't think I'll ever buy coins even if I have to stop use wn. If it was before, I might have spend some money to buys coins but not for this stupid version, where there's no free coins whatsoever.

                nst itā€™s like they want us to go use other site or machine-translate because right now, I canā€™t even read the single novel that keep me in this site. But fear not, because Iā€™ve found somewhere else to read it.

                    Skaz not only what was already replied, but thereā€™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 donā€™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 itā€™s actually not. It is slightly worse than the SS option. And along this year (or maybe since the start?) thatā€™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 donā€™t even need this... just google the title and it will probably appear 2-3 ā€œalternativesā€ for you to read it on... smh... webnovel is acting as if it has a monopoly of itā€™s content and forgetting the internet is not a place where people would totally disregard benefits to use an official channel. Itā€™s kinda funny and ironic that many of itā€™s translators and translated works initially came from those same sources... I still remember the fight over TKA and others... xD

                          Steve3000 huahahahaha thatā€™s... quite a good comparison??? Lol

                              Nizze thanks, I'll definitely try it xD
                              The only time I bought coins was from Lezhin to read Killing Stalking. But later I started reading from other site where it was free 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 itā€™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?
