I'm sorry, but your post didn't comply with the minimal rhetorical requirements that I described in my previous reply, not giving you a right to my proper response.

Try to reforge your views and arguments into proper sentences according to the mini tutorial I gave you, then I might consider sparing some of my time to discuss with you.

I believe in you! You can do it! It's not so hard to be composed and calm while writing!

    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)

                              MotivatedSloth i am not doubting on you... But this new thing about expiring coins was definitely not there before this fast pass system... I also have been using this for very long time time not 2 years but a year I guess and I have been saving my SS/coins for very long time and I did even saved them up to the last month but not anymore... So this expire thing is definitely from the new version ... Well we can't do anything about though.. and also there no use to ask someone about it as no one is going to get me back my coins now...😅😅

                                Jeshmin It's not new. I've been here since July 2018, and they have always expired for me b/c I never used them. Whatever SS/coins you claim that have never expired for you can't be real. (It could be as a result of your usage of them despite saving them up so that the ones who are about to expire get used, since each one expires in 30 days, unless you don't read weekly/monthly)
                                Here is an entire thread of proof that SS expired since a long time ago (I'm pretty sure since the start of this currency). This thread has proof from all the way in February 2018. Expiry notifications may be a new thing (but not too new either, they have been there months before the current update) -- I can't recall if they used to have them in 2018 or not-- but SS/coins have always expired.

                                  I still have 1178 coins
                                  I did purchase the spirit stone before and never use and also I did become membership so I did get 500 coins and suppose 10 coins everyday until 310 coins

                                    I can attest that coins expire. I never use mine, so I get periodic notifications that they do. Have since I first joined 6 months ago.

                                      Nah, I'm just baiting you into dancing just like I want you to.

                                      But well, if I were to care about the opinion of other people that represent the same approach, I should be earning money for making threads longer? Hmmmm

                                        Webnovel I don't care. There are other websites/places I can read novels. Is not a most it has to be webnovel. Why all this role just because webnovel is an app.

                                          ace_cap I'm still waiting. And please, stop with the jokes. They are just as good as your rhethoric. (I bet you will have to thing quite a bit to understand it here, so small advice, try quantifying the logical value of this sentence and looking for a way to make entire sentence logicial.)

                                            Здравствуйте, подскажите, почему я после 5 января, регистрируясь, оценивая главы и оставляя комментарии и ответы на них, не получаю на свой счёт EXP?

                                              yaoyueyi ohhhh okay ... I see . Then it must be I had been mistaken. Thank you for clarification 🙏 I got it now
