The amount of revenue brought by the ads is not nearly enough to pay down the costs of maintaining the site, paying the wages of the official employes nor the fair share for the authors.
I'm not giving exact numbers, CKTalon did it multiple times, but one add amounted to like 0.3ss of worth.

No, the past system of free ss was too generous and was changed to the current one. But we don't know what future might bring so just stay tuned and watch for the news from webnovel. We, the authors, are just as clueless about the future as everyone else.

They reward points that can be later on exchanged for various things at the store. This question was answered by Yueyi in a separate, big thread about complains. If you have any questions, I would recomend heading there.

Bonus coins do expire 30 days after acquiring them, the ones you get from pucharse do so in 90 days I recall, but head to Yueyi posts for confirmation. Coins directly bought with money never expire. I guess the coints that expired were the bonus one you obtained about a month ago.

Lower price for the coins as long as you log in daily to get the daily rewards.

              MotivatedSloth hahhh what a joke...😒🙄 Isn't it just unfair? They give it as a reward and then they take it in the of expires

                  MotivatedSloth The fact that they could make revenue from free users should make them happy. What's better, giving free coins without any revenue or making revenue through ads from free users. I mean free users, not whales. Honestly, that just sounds like an excuse to me.

                      weli my sentiments too..i don't have work too.just relaying for free ss..aftér spending all my ss i have to stop reading this..please don't do this i'd been enjoying reading àll the novels and now i have to stop reading because i can' afford buying...

                          MotivatedSloth I've been following up with you and @ace_cap conversation and I get why you're pained, you're an author but you also have to look at it from the angle of those who don't have the money or the means to keep up with the recent demands made by webnovel. I admit to being a part of the "freeloaders" but it isn't by choice as everyone wants to support their favorite author(s) if possible. Just calm down

                              Max255 i totally agree. I only get a few to open chapter. But in ss i can open many chapters in a day. I want the ss system.

                                  WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL the ss system was better than the fast pass system... Not pleased with the new upgrade... I have no more interest in reading webnovel now

                                      the upgrade is so buggy. In ss i can open many chapters in a day. In fast pass i only get a few so my reading time reduces. Its really annoying plus the bonus videos doesnt load most of the time. I guess thats one of the bugs. I dont like it

                                        Try again, maybe when I will get drunk some time in the future I could be bothered and bored enough to reply to your silly post. If you want any other response than from drunk me, you need to try harder.

                                        No. They are not giving it as a reward. Bonus coins always had an expiration date. Don't ask me why, thats how they worked so far and they just keep the system.

                                        They are not giving any free coins at this moment, outside of the friend invite option as far as I recall from Yuei post. And no. The fact that you think you have the right to decide what should make them happy makes you another entilted person out in this kind of topics. You are not entilted to anything. While I understand your sentiments, you are only allowed to be happy that you are getting anything for free.

                                        Guess what, authors can't afford to waste 4+h daily on writing for nothing either.

                                        Ah, as you might see from my recent posts, I managed to calm myself down. I'm not going to put up with their obnoxious attitude.

                                        As for the problem at hand, I'm a free reader as well. Never bought a single coin, even though I can afford it. Do you know what I'm doing? I'm enjoying all the reading I can with free passess. Maybe if I will have enough free time on hand to read something else outside those few novels that I follow, I might consider buying. Thats how real life works.

                                        As an author, I simply preffered to spedn 100$ on mechanical keyboard that will enable me to write even more with less pain, as speedwriting for 8 hours straight can get your hands quite a bit.

                                                    SnowFairy same... Its so sad. I saved up for the books that I am really crazy to read. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

                                                        Please revert back to spirit stones rewards.

                                                          Heyyou estoy de acuerdo , creo que solo dificulta la lectura de tan buenas historias

                                                              Jeshmin

                                                              You should ask some better versed in this, but I myself I'm sure that all the spirit stones that I got as a free user were expiring. It's just that I was using them faster than they could expire.

                                                              But as I said, it's better ask someone else on this point. I can only say from the limited perspective of someone who was here for like two years in total. (If you can check exactly when did RtW migrate here, you can get the exact date when I joined)
