So this is what happened:
At the begining of the month I finally succeeded in gathering 1k Spirit Stones, so I went ahead and bought the one month priviledge for one of my favourite novels Forty Milleniums of Cultivation which has 50 chapters behind the paywall. My 1k SS were enough to buy me a 15 chapter advance, so I went ahead just splurged and this was all good and fine for two weeks, however in comes the new version which abolished all methods of gaining SS for free and the new Free Passes cannot be used to open priviledged chapters, so now that my SS ran out I'm screwed, payed for the priviledge, but can't make use of it, unless I buy SS, but in my country the amount Webnovel charges is considered outrageous, so I can't buy...
Thanks for scamming me Webnovel!
Scammed by new version
Vengeance22 How much does it cost in your area? I'm curious.

Huh? you were able to save 1k Free SS to take advantage of the privilege, then you got scammed because of the new update or version? Did you lose real money or free SS? If you already take advantage of the free SS that you have saved by buying privilege then it's worth it...regarding the new version...well just take it as a new day...you wake up in a new world...I mean you must understand one thing that governs this earth we called home...as the saying goes...
~THE ONLY THING THAT IS PERMANENT IN THIS WORLD IS CHANGES~ if you accept this quote...that means you can adapt to any changes around you and not be bothered by it. To make it really clear...not all the things that you used or get accustomed to will remain the same forever...there always be changes...as long the changes is not about life and death then I guess you will be fine...you will live...hehehe
Peace!

The same situation no more SS to open locked chapters in privilege , can't buy SS to bad it's super expensive in my country will have too wait untill chapter come out of privilege and use fast pass
Same. Got Free SS bought privilege now I’m locked out because of Fast Pass.
EternalAngel is it not $0.99 for 50?
Reinesse 1dollar equal to 18 in My country
you guys are aware that privilege was set that high because you can literally earn 1300 ss a month back then
Woops same experience. I can earn approximately 1k ss a month before. Turned into a premium/privilege user then out of the blue this fast passes came and ruined all the good times. LOL
I got like 5 novels in privilege and I can't even unlock most of it now. I'm saving my last earned ss (which turned into coins 
) for the one last good novel in my library. Sucks.
The_Cheese Basically one coin is one unit of our currency, for comparison note that one loaf of bread costs 3-5 units of currency and minimum wage is about 1500 before taxes.

Interesting so they charge a tax.... when you buy coins is basically for the U.S USD$0.01 is 1 Coin ...what am I saying they always take tax before paying workers.

You are lucky.
Here we need to pay more $ for one coin.
Well that sucks.
Yeah new so called features on webnovel are terrible
jenniilex3 Then leave? No one is forcing you to stay here, just like no one is forcing authors to write their stories. Unless they will be paid, they will drop their contracted stories and move somewhere else.
Dang, this is futile. No matter how many times I do repeat it, entilted people simply multiply at a faster rate that I can teach...
