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

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.

                The reading reward coins were never credited since the transition . What happened?

                Seriously, their marketing personnel should be fired. There would be so much less outrage if coins were added along side SS. Coins become the paid currency and SS the free currency. Allow a one time conversion of paid SS to coins. Then keep the SS rewards similar, and make unlocking privilege a coin only thing. Allow users to only gift coins and choose which currency to spend on each novel. Change the reading and check in rewards to a spinner mini-game that on average gives less SS as time goes on, but everyone loves spinners, right? Eventually make a coin "discount" program where readers pay 1 coin per 200 words and 1 SS per 150 words. It would be perfectly in line with Webnovel's MO (as evidenced over the past 2-3 years), but it would be just slick enough that not everyone would catch on at once.

                  Now that's what I call a suggestion. 😭😭😭😭

                      Yoshinocchii 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?

                      You are very, very wrong. Like Cantiara said, chapters you unlock with FP never expire, but I would also like to say that what you're saying with getting 3-5 coins being better is absolute bs too. You get 3 free fast passes a day (check in, votes). How is it that 3 free chapters is worse than being able to unlock, what, 1 chp max w/ 5 coins?
                      Know the system before you start calling it a ripoff.

                        KoraL lets go back to the previous features.... I will uninstall web novels once I find out is not allowing me to read
