They're not coins, they're points. Not the same thing.
To see your points, on the app, profile then store.
The_Cheese when i claimed my fast pass, cant see it nor use it. Still has to pay in every chapter on the novels i was reading. Cant even eve see the reward 3000 coins as new yr bonus. What a mess!

Use the app to access your profile, choose Store.
Points can buy fast passes, coin use discounts and timed site wide free reading based on medium (ebook, novel, comic)
Fast passes start at around 2000, site wide free reading is around 10k and up
The_Cheese and how should I use these coins
- Edited
I regret updating this app, i will finish reading my current novel and drop the app, i can't read more than 3 chaps a day for free, thanx anyway, i enjoyed reading your novel a lot
masih bingung ini gunanya untuk apa
Aside from some coins, does the membership currently actually do anything?
Nope not a thing. WN just monetized daily coin gains.
Simple solution is to. Have maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy account. THAT'S SIMPLE...

@The_Cheese there is no info available when the next Fast Pass will expire in the Android version. I do not need a notification but I'd like to have the possibility to find out about expiration dates ("Next Fast Pass will expire on $date" or something along those lines). Pretty please!

Unfortunately there’s no expiration date display for Fast Pass, you have to take note of the date manually.
I think Webnovel expected us to immediately use them and so they did not bother adding that function.
There’s also a thread requesting for that feature https://forum.webnovel.com/d/33797-fast-pass-expiry-display
I’ve already lost 9 Fast Pass bc of expiration since I don’t use them and I still have stock coins .
The_Cheese I kinda quitting webnovel.. you can't seriously read whatever you want with the fast pass we earn everyday.. We need to seriously spend money for coins and even then you can earn 1 fast pass for what.. 2000 coins?? I have lost interest in reading in this way.. We can't even binge read anymore..
ShadowsofYin I buy coins everyday, now... just to read one novel that I like. I am becoming poor, soon. How does membership work? Don't want to jump blindly, before it proves working well... Been disappointed with all changes.... For all tge money I poured here only to read one book, I should be able to buy several books in a book store!!!
PhoenixDream my sentiment, exactly!

I think having a system like Netflix should work really well.
I prefer paying 10 euros per month than having to buy coins in huge number 2 or 3 Time per year and cause a hole in my bank account.
The pass allow you to read read near 9 chapter daily (free pass included) but how will you do when there is a MR ?
Or you want to read a novel with more than 50 locked chapter ? Will you buy enough coins ? Maybe i will do it for MR but for a New story which i don't know if i will like it or not will i buy ? No, pirate site will welcome me with a happy smile.
With a Netflix system that allow you to read whatever you want (if you want you Can make differents d'inscription for novel/fan-fic/e-book if you want more money), you will not have Big payment but a constante income and i think more people would want to pay than with coins.
If Netflix work so well it's not for nothing.
Everybody could just look series on streaming sites and it's the same with webnovels.
Hope somebody from Webnovel staff read this.
Have a good day.

PhoenixDream not 2000 coins but points which are gain by Reading but yea with this update WE can't stock ss and binge read is dead on webnovel.
It's an invitation to pirate sites...

PhoenixDream what I don't get is why a Fast Pass unlocks one chapter on any given book. The novel I'm reading right now has long chapters, 12-19 spirit stones per chapter. Unlocking three of them per day is better than the amount of SS I got before. For stories with short chapters (4-5 SS per chapter) a fast pass is a bad deal IMHO.
burntpotato thanks for the reply! I also lost a couple of passes because of that, that's why I'm hoping Webnovel will add this information somewhere.
Membership works as follows:
You pay about 9.99 a month (not sure if this is usd or not)
You immediately get 500 coins, over the 31 days of the month you get an additional 310 coins (roughly 10 per day, more on shorter months)
There is some confusion on wether the 500 coins is a first month only thing or 500 immediately every month.
Chances are high the 310 coins are expiry vulnerable.
Admit alot of this is speculation as the membership description is not at all laid out well or deeply informative based on wn policies so most are waiting to see people jump the shark when it rolls over in Feb.

Chaacra no, a netflix styled subscription service will not work. your statement claiming that "if netflix works so well, it's not for nothing" cannot apply AT ALL to WN b/c you're missing 2 key facts-- 1) though both are platforms that provide entertainment, WN is for reading & netflix is for video streaming. that's like comparing apples and pears. 2) netflix does not earn money the same way that WN does. they do not need to pay a bunch of small content creators 50% of the pay that the small creators earn from readers unlocking "episodes" or "movies" (in this analogy, chapters for WN). all netflix needs to pay is a licensing cost, some production fees for when they decide to create content, and other marketing/etc. fees while WN's entire profit relies on the personal income of the individual authors.
authors already make very little a month. many rely on the MGS and only earn $200-400 a month for all the hours they put into writing. you want to go to pirate sites which welcome you with a happy smile? guess what? you're profiting off of something very illegal & you're ripping off the hard work of all the authors you read pirate novels of. you're not hurting WN. you're hurting the small creators who are trying to make a living. this behavior is unbelievably shameful.
WN costs are not overpriced. there are stats to prove this. if you're burning a hole in your bank account, that's not WN's fault, it's your reading addiction's. why would you pay coins to a story you don't know if you will like it? most premium novels give you 60-100 free chapters before you have to pay. if you've read 100 chapters and you still don't know if you will like it or not, why would you waste your money on it?
WN once had a subscription system. it completely destroyed the income of authors, and it was proven to not work. therefore, the membership system they're offering is probably the closest thing to a netflix subscription you're going to get.
Chaacra The first time they introduced Membership accounts it was like Netflix. I think it was about $20 per month for unlimited reading. They did away with it after only a few months and went back to strictly SS. There were many suggestions, like to limit the number of stories you could apply it to and such, but they never brought it back. What is worse, the chapters that you didn't spend SS on to unlock during that time were once again locked (and still are unless you used SS to unlock.)
Darth_Xiane So the only thing different from straight out buying the coins normally is the price and the reacurring charge, just in case you forget about it.
Currently yeah, the membership price puts it at about a little cheaper than if you bought the two lowest tier top up packages.
Plus theres indication they plan to expand the benefits but in which direction is not stated.
