  • Fast Pass.. Bad alternative & here’s why

It sounds nice and all until you realize that instead of getting 10 ss/coins, you get 1 Fast Pass which supposedly is oh-so-cool because it unlocks any chapter regardless of its price.

But most of the chapters are around 4 ss/coins; so for 10 coins you can get about 2 chapters & still have a couple left, but this one Fast Pass gets u one chapter only. Using that calculation on a larger scale, the difference would be even bigger considering that the leftover ss/coins would get you even more chapters.

I’m fine with it as a feature but replacing almost all the rewards with just 1 Fast Pass is a downgrade to what we used to get.

Edit: Alright so apparently most of the novels I read unlock for 4 coins while other people require more, hence why this could be more convenient for them.

I’ll have to admit that what @DarkRay said was true (albeit sad but the business aspect of it makes sense). Other people also made interesting points regarding the quality of the novels & the sudden upgrades without prior notice. So overall, i’d say it’s a tie.

PS I just started this discussion as a semi-rant because I got butthurt that yet another thing I enjoy to do in my free time isn’t going to be fun anymore (and yes not paying money is fun for me 🙂)

Anyway, it is what it is. My intentions towards this update wasn’t to spread hatred, just tiny little negativity (sorry not sorry). Life is depressing like that, don’t judge me.

    you are not entitled to anything free

    you can still get coins if you invite friends, and through reading, you can still get 10 coins per checkpoint. other than that, you can read 3 chapters a day with only fast passes, or buy more coins if you have to. or, surprise surprise! there's something called farming & free novels.

        yaoyueyi if you hit learn more on coins it says "Coins bonus are gained through various missions and events. (E.g. Check-in, vote, invite friends.) so far that clearly isnt the case and i think thats the biggest issue. Dont say its possible to get when it isnt through these methods

        As for farming you need 10k minimum for free novels. all the lower rewards are just 50-70% off and those dont help what so ever with passes. thats a lot of time spent farming for a few free days of reading

            ampplaca it's probably just a bug on webnovel's behalf. I don't see the need to get all angry about it. how many typos/errors/grammar mistakes can you find throughout their site? probably 2 million. they probably just wrote that for when they first introduced coins and not fast passes, but forgot to change it when they implemented fast passes. I don't think it's that big of an issue as long as you can read the rewards for the daily missions, where it clearly says what you can earn coins for and what you cannot.

            again, there are so many free novels on this site. I don't see why it's such a bad thing to step away from the contracted/translated novels for a few days to read some of the free novels that are probably pretty good as well, and get some farming in the meantime. it's not like when you're farming, you're suffering b/c you're reading a novel you don't want to read (and if you are, that's kind of your fault). plus, for even some translated/contracted novels, farming is an option as well (if you're under the belief that only contracted novels can have any quality)

                Aqura isn't one chapter 10 coins? At least that's how much I pay for Ominiscent Reader. The Fast Pass is given up to 3 x times a day for mission stuff we tend to do. I've been able to unlock 3 x paid chapters so far.

                  yaoyueyi the problem is they have continuously taken away how much a free reader can read. i am currently reading 4 novels and it was possible to do so before they recently changed how many we got. the fast pass has made it worse and now i can only read 2 of the 4 novels. im not really angry over the coins thing and was just pointing something out but am over the new horrible system. also when they introduced fast pass a week ago they literally said use fast pass on chapters that cost more and coins on cheaper ones. not that they are getting rid of ways to make coins

                  as for free novels i never said anything about the quality of them. i was saying you need 5000 ads for 10k points to get the 3 day free novels reward and thats a lot of farming for that

                    Salvius98 really? I was told it was permanent. You need to use the fast pass within 7 days. It can be used any time within 24hrs of those seven days.
