Cantiara I'm sure when you cut and try to undertand only that part you will misunderstand. Anyway thanks for your time don't think too much of it. Sometimes simple words are being mistaken as too complicated.

      corales Except when the quality drops on a locked chapter. What do you suggest then? I think Qidian is at fault there, they probably stole chapters translated by someone else and then their translators ruined it.
      If food in restorant is shit, I can get refund in most cases. Here? Not likely.

        Sigh... I was not arguing with you, I was trying to help. But it's fine... Have a nice day :)

            rainedear111 thank you for suggesting (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵), but as much as I want to read the novels outside. The fandom just prevents me from doing so— the hilarious and insightful paragraph comments (that’s what I live for) , how could I let go of that :laughing:

            :wave:

                Lol 😂 dont mind my silly suggestion I didn't know that it's a pirate novel app my bad. Anyway I saw you started last year here too. Yeah the thing that kept me here is my interactions with other readers that i been messaging in our reading ventures with novels we read along the way too.

                  I am just going to end my words here by saying - don't promote pirated sites. Don't support pirated sites.

                  Piracy is illegal and not something people should support. It hurts to see your story on a platform you didn't put it over. It leaves the authors feeling helpless that no matter what, this would never stop. It is infuriating that the thieves, yes that's the exact word for them, feel not a slightest bit of shame in stealing others' content and putting it on their sites without even bothering to seek a permission but wait why am I even talking about that? Thieves don't ask you before stealing your stuff.

                  Don't read stuff if you are on a tight budget. I know it sounds awful but if we like a particular thing in a store and we don't have enough money to spare on it at the moment - what do we do? We wait. We wait. We do not go and take that thing temporarily by supporting thieves who steal it.

                  burntpotato Lol 😂 dont mind my silly suggestion I didn't know that it's a pirate novel app my bad. Anyway I saw you started last year here too.

                      Why need to move when we still can read for free?

                        MotivatedSloth So you say you spent 110 usd, while using ALL possible bonuses. Okay, let's count it. As far as I remember, before the last update, you could get up to 40ss/day (10 daily on average+5+5 for both votes, +10 for ad and 10 for multiplier), meaning that you used up 1200free ss just from daily missions. I will intentionally leave the weekly reading and weekly bonus out of that, cuz I have no way to properly factor it. That means you read 11 000 + 1 200
                        = 12 200ss worth of text, meaning that it was more or less 2 440 000 words (since there are times when you pay entire SS for less than 200 words, factor those bonus coins from reading and weekly bonus here). You said it was 700 chapters? That brings us to a point of about 3.5k words per chapter, and no way in hell they would cost only 6ss(cents) per chapter, as that wordcount equals about 18ss/chappie... UNLESS YOU GOT 60% DISCOUNT. So you got on average 30times worth of normal novel, while paying about 3.6$ for a single 80k piece of work.

                        This whole math DISREGARDS the free chapters at the start of the novel, only from my benevolence, cuz if I were to add let's say 100 free chapters to the numbers, that would mean that a single chapter was even longer.

                        And I can definietly disagree, I know that I'm male so I deserve to die according to modern line of leftist thought, but I survived on instant noodles and frozen pizza (exactly 2ounds worth of insta food daily, 3 noodles per oound and frozen pizza per pouind) for 2 months straight, losing about 15kg at that! (not that I would recomend this kind of diet, my stomach almost stopped working when I came back to my parents sweet sweet home where the food was ample)

                        First, I did say the math was wrong. Second, regardless of free chapters, bonus SS, et al, I still spent 110 USD on half of a webnovel. Third, I also said I didn't regret it. Fourth, why bring up sexism when none was stated in the first place? o.O Fifth, almost killing yourself by eating that diet is not a good argument. XD But I'm happy you survived it.

                            MotivatedSloth I honestly gotta ask, do you promote selective reading or are you just THAT much of a mook.

                            First off you jumped down MY throat about self entitlement, that's what my post to say was about since like shay my initial post was about HOW MUCH IVE SPENT HERE.

                            You also threw alot of other accusations my way and I'M the conceited one?

                            Like Shay my spending on Wn with th top up this month has crested a grand, canadian. So 110 usd plus free currency for me was actually 220 or more given exchange rate.

                            So as a PAYING CUSTOMER having some selective reading pissant up in my grill over Xmas leaves me less than respectful.

                            So merry Christmas motivationalmook and shove your holier than thou opinions UP YOUR ASS.

                                Darth_Xiane Just let that Sloth be, he is entitled to be always right. So far what i have read and seen this Sloth is defending WN against any negativity, calling others entitled cause they are free readers etc. Nevertheless it's fun to see him ranting around though.

                                    TL_Shay

                                    TL_Shay First, I did say the math was wrong.

                                    Oh come on, lemme indulge! Math is the only way to prove something to majority of the kids on the forums.

                                    TL_Shay Second, regardless of free chapters, bonus SS, et al, I still spent 110 USD on half of a webnovel.

                                    While I find that unlikely, it is true that WN shuffles their offers, promotions and prizing to the point I can't even follow (shrugs). But 110$ is still far off 500$ mentioned at the start of Darksomething rant

                                    TL_Shay Third, I also said I didn't regret it.

                                    Good for you then? I'm glad you enjoyed it!

                                    TL_Shay Fourth, why bring up sexism when none was stated in the first place? o.O

                                    Oh, come on! Others are allowed to rant all they want because the amount of literall free candy got smaller, but I can't bring anything as nonsensicial into it?

                                    TL_Shay Fifth, almost killing yourself by eating that diet is not a good argument. XD But I'm happy you survived it.

                                    Thanks, was kinda tight on budged and sick from oversmoking green tobacco. Cons of working 2days/week in Uk :D

                                                Darth_Xiane

                                                Darth_Xiane I honestly gotta ask, do you promote selective reading or are you just THAT much of a mook.

                                                Ad personam, not gonna bother. That's below my level.

                                                Darth_Xiane First off you jumped down MY throat about self entitlement

                                                Imagine this scenario, you buy a car and demand a whole house to be included, despite the price clearly stating that its only for car.

                                                Does buying a car makes the company owe you a house? No.
                                                That's why even if you paid anything, you still aint entilted to any freebies, you can only count on WN generosity to recieve it.

                                                Darth_Xiane You also threw alot of other accusations my way and I'M the conceited one?

                                                The first time I even noticed your existance was when you replied to my first big post while calling me names.
                                                Sorry, but just like I said in many other topics, I don't care about the entirety of the topic and I'm either replying DIRECTLY to the people mentioned, or to the general theme of the topic if I don't mention anyone. Sorry, but in my eyes, you weren't even worth the effort to insult for no reason, like, playing around with math is way funnier for me. That only shows how much you overestimate your worth. Sorry to break it up to you.

                                                So to sum this point up - I didn't even mention you, yet you feel insulted for some reason and started insulting me? Yes, you are the conceited one.

                                                Darth_Xiane selective reading pissant

                                                Again, ad personam, why do I even bother? Eh...
                                                On WN, I'm reading only 3 books. WHen they will be finished, I might move to others. Why? Because as someone with actual life, duties, and chapters to write, I simply don't have enough time to waste so much time on low quality story that are good as mindless entertainment. If I want to read something good, I'm just looking up the list of good authors that I love and buy one of their books, simple. But looking how you act, I think I can safely bet that I read WAY more stories in my life than you did (considering how I used to read 3-4 books WEEKLY, back before I even graduated middle school. While the quality was nonexistend for big part of them, I still love some of them to this day.)

                                                So all in all, calling me selective reader is kinda wrong in the very meaning of those words. And all the insults that you are packing your posts full? Well, that only shows who you are, not who I am.

                                                Darth_Xiane leaves me less than respectful.

                                                It's our own actions that define who we are and how we will be taken by others. If someone steals from you, that doesn't entilte you to steal from others. Even if I ever insulted you, if you fight back in this way, you are showing that you are on that level. ANd just FYI - I never did insult you, because you are not worthy as much of my attention as to care about abusing someone like you.

                                                Darth_Xiane motivationalmook and shove your holier than thou opinions UP YOUR ASS.

                                                Come on! You paid so much for the wn books, so you ought to read a lot! I believe you can come up with something more creative!

                                                All in all, thanks for providing the entertainment for the authors discord and my own, hidden discord community. You even won 2 spots in the hall of fame!

                                                              Zhinoy

                                                              Zhinoy he is entitled to be always right

                                                              If I'm wrong, I will always admit it. Back in Einlion thrashing days, I even outright told that my entire argumentation could be overthrown by a single line of text, as long as one figured it out. IN this thread alone I admited to 3 mistakes that I made. Anything else to say Mr. Patointeligent?

                                                              Zhinoy this Sloth is defending WN against any negativity

                                                              Nope. I don't care about the changes in WN schemes. I'm a free user so no matter how much I hate it myself, they have the right to shove anything they want down my throat, but it's up to me to swallow it or not. I'm only negative towards people that think they are entilted to anything. That's what pisses me off, because I need to deal with this kind of mentality everywhere out in the streets of my country.

                                                              Want to understand it?
                                                              Some time ago, governing party implemented like ~130$ monthly for every child. You just need to go to the office and you will recieve it. Now, single mothers who never dirtied their hands with work are demanding to create a new taxes for childless people and increase this social program to ~260$ because they are entilted to it.

                                                              First hour that I'm working in fulltime goes fully for that program right now. That quickly teaches you to hate it.

                                                              Zhinoy entitled cause they are free readers

                                                              Calling others entilted because they act entilted. I'm free reader myself, game over.

                                                                        MotivatedSloth You talk alot, maybe it’s time for you to create your own story here on WN, who knows it might be a good hit. As far as i know, people like you are pretty amusing, literally jokes, the clowns of arguments here on the forum.
                                                                        Anyway i will let u be, talking to people who writes a book as a reply isn’t my cup of tea.

                                                                            This thread is both disheartening and funny to read at the same time. This truly does not matter at the end of the day. Soulless Corporations will do whatever they can to make $$$ (they have that right as well). Just like readers and users of this platform can express their sentiments on any new policy or idea Qidian makes. If said company does not take heed of current sentiments, it will eventually fall behind the trends and fall into irrelevancy. Do not belittle the free readers on this site as they make up a large majority of the numbers, that keep this ship up and running. Overall, I don't care enough about this site or company to have any strong feelings on the matter. So I'm going to continue to read what I feel, makes my day. Regardless of any restrictions Webnovel places.
