  • Important Notification: There will be no more SS given away after Jan.13th

YoungEmpress 😪 while I agree that I miss the term SS. It's still the same thing. 😣 Your leaving too? That's sad 😔. I seldom see any of the old readers from the start. The thing is with the new fast pass system, it doesn't benefit free readers. But it benefits the original authors, translators because they know they will get less free SS spent on their books.

I know from a reader point of view this isn't good. But, we need to learn to adapt to changes. It's still possible to stack up fast pass. Your still getting free chapters. So there really isn't a problem.

(That site you mentioned is most likely a pirate website. Books on Webnovel aren't allowed to be posted anywhere else. So yes, it's an illegal site)

      svats The only ones who will really uninstall this are the free readers. From webnovels point of view, they need to pay their translators, authors and editors somehow. All those new changes in the last update gave people so many free SS, that it was starting to hurt authors income. From the start privilege was supposed to be for paid readers. But somehow free readers managed to save up so much SS. Webnovel just returned it to how it was meant to be.

      Though this new update doesn't support free readers very well. It's still possible to read for free 😌 they haven't gotten rid of free reading completely. There are many free books on this site too.

        Veronica8 When they introduced this system last month. It was during the holiday season and going through a test run. So, it actually makes sense that the announcement was this late..

            How do I even use those points.....I really need fast cards....the last version was much better with the SS system

            WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Let's all admit it folks, not all people using WN is liking this new system. You guys removed the means of gettting free reading method just so people will have to buy coins. I wish you guys could have considered that not all users and readers of WN are working and earning money. I know that they need to pay for the authors and translators, then they could have just made an update where those readers who pays gets a VIP service where only those who can pay can access to some chapters or functions of the app, don't offer SS as payment as most free readers save a lot of SS to binge read novels. Atleast charge it with money not SS. Not all of us can afford to buy membership or coins. I'd somehow accept this new system if you'd give people chances to collect coins through daily log ins even if it's just 3 or 5 coins a day. But tbh, that free pass thing you just created is just a ripoff, a reading pass for just one chapter and we don't even get to read it again after a day or two without using another pass to unlock it? Spirit stones were way much better, since the SS price is reasonable because it is priced by word count and we get to read it again and again.

            I used to love Webnovel, because it doesn't really oblige me to buy anything and I get to spend my free time reading relaxingly but now I can't. I'll probably stop using WN when the old system shuts down. I just can't accept the new system. I'm sorry but I also hope you guys can consider everyone's opinion about this new system and think about your beloved readers and their wellbeings. 💔

                Yoshinocchii But tbh, that free pass thing you just created is just a ripoff, a reading pass for just one chapter and we don't even get to read it again after a day or two without using another pass to unlock it?

                Just want to clarify, this is incorrect. Chapters that are unlocked with fast passes will be unlocked permanently. But fast passes expire after 7 days, so make sure to use them before they expire.

                  svats yes me and my friends will switch to another very soon

                      This reminds me of Dramafever; great app/site in the beginning years, then it gets taken over by another company/new leadership, and it falls so low its existence is erased. Whoever is doing the planning and decisions in the last year of QI Webnovel are going down that same path in an even quicker rate. And not even listening to the majority of displeasure. Bad business. I don't understand what was wrong with the system a couple or so years ago. Ads make a lot of money, too. If they increased the ads, some people might still complain, but it'd be free while making a lot of revenue for the company (and people can still spend money on SS or to get rid of ads for a month). And SS as the system was the whole allure of Webnovel in the first place, with the Daoist and cultivation theme drawing in people. Back when most the novels were xianxia, wuxia, and xuanhuan (most male-oriented). I guess WuxiaWorld still exists for that. I was looking forward to the 100th TGIF and what would be done for the New Year, but it was just a big load of disappointment. I wonder if the original Chinese version of Qidian is as bad now as this? I'm still hoping with enough complaints or possibly boycotting, that'd they'd reverse the update... but it doesn't seem likely

                        XOMatsumaeohana From my experience with the Fast Pass, you can't stack it beyond the 7 days which is 3 x 7 = 21 Fast Passes. I've had times when I have 19 Fast Passes with hours to spare before the oldest Fast Pass expires, but when I do my check-in (earns 3 Fps), I'd get a total of 21 FPs instead of 22 FPs. I lose the oldest FP even though its expiration date/time is not up yet.
                        I don't even want to start griping about the bleeding SS/Coins daily. It's not like I have several hundreds of SS saved to begin with and it makes me wonder why I'm losing so much when on average, I used up more than I earn for daily check-in since I follow 5-7 novels. I've dropped several now and just biding my time.

                            YulongYuXianTaiyin I remember Dramafever. It was a nice website until the changes. If mysoju wasn't taken down, I'd still be there. Hulu was good until they monetized everything and I hated logging in just to watch. Viki was good too, but when they changed the comment section by moving it from the top to the side during viewing , I lost interest completely.
