Webnovel destroyed My reading pleasure because this fast pass system is helping nobody

Yume97 how exactly are we suppose to use the coins am confused

YoungEmpress share the app with us too

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.

Im having trouble with the membership card 1st month special when will i freaking get it???? If im not going to get my coins can i get a refund???? Im dying to read the privilege chapters from beauty and the beast!!!!!!!! WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL

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.

Heyyou i agreed wit u

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

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL will you please make our life easier for gaining exp. I really want to have a level 7 profile. but it seem to take few year of may life to do it

Debby_James We all know that that won't happen. There have been about 5 major "screw you"s from Webnovel since it began, and not one has been reversed. This one is only rivaled by the removal of progressive free unlocking of premium novels (Webnovel had at several points mentioned that they would NEVER paywall prior to premium).

So if there's no chance of it going back, why not suggest a more profitable alternative (for them) that would reduce the number of ruffled feathers? Personally, the fast passes are much better for me since I can now catch up on a certain 23 Coin per chapter novel. I do feel sympathy for readers who read 4 Coin per chapter novels, so bringing it back to a pseudo-status quo would be a win-win for Webnovel. And it would bring fairness back to readers in that each person's reading opportunity is approximately the same due to pricing by word count. The current implementation leaves a potential disparity of 6x and could negatively impact authors by reducing income for writers of longer chapters and reducing readers for writers of shorter chapters.

I've also always believed that readers should only be able to gift coins that carried value. Separating the currencies makes this more apparent that only the paid currency rewards authors. Free SS never made a difference to the author's paychecks. This would be a win for the authors as well.

I hate this new version ! Sooner or later people will get tired of this updating into new system which is becoming expensive. The older version of webnovel is way much better than now. Maybe admin is trying to imitate the way other reading novel providing app., but I tell you the previous version of webnovel is much better. I have tried the others but uninstall them right away coz it is too expensive just to read a chapter.

Yoshinocchii I agree with you! I can buy several novel from bookstore with the amount I am going to spend with this new system.

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL why webnovel downgrade my account from 5 to 2 level?
I found it confusing and my coins just disappeared

Aww I won't be able to get SS anymore on the old version. This is boring. At least I can still use the SS I have saved up. Whatever

XOMatsumaeohana its actually an app, they also translate novels like WN, they do okay, just watch ads and unlock chapters, so far, they had a fast translation team compared to WN, thats why the chapters are more advance.

How i wish the novels I'm reading in WN have a patreon or any donations platform, so i can read directly from them and leave WN. Tagging (My Youth Begin With Him, The Beautiful Time With You, His Genius Wife is a Superstar, Accidentally Married a Fox Lord and The Villain's Wife)
WN, you had me with SS, now your SS gone? Im gone. LOL.
Frankly speaking, if it terms of just paying and buying, im in, because i love to buy books and ebooks (support the author. Yeheey!) But WN attracted me with the uniqueness of SS, its very Chinese and patriotic (im not Chinese, btw) but now its gone, its kind of .
How i wish my favorites have a published books so i can buy it directly.

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Can you let us farm more EXP? The current system is really slow in giving out exp. Reaching level 7 is taking forever.

Basara im using one... Lol... Still using WN just for the originals that cant be published in other app... My FP is enough to read new update from the 2 original books im reading...

shelwyn I know how you feel I've been on level 6 since last December... But now taking forever to get to Kevel 7

I prefer the free ss/coins compared to fast past.
With free coins of 9 (daily check in) i can unlock at least 2 chapters of any novel. With only 1 fast pass (daily check in) i can only unlock 1 chapter.
There is also discounts given out and totally not worth it to use a fass pass to unlock a chapter costing 2 ss/coins.

Yume97 all of my SS become coins and almost all of my coin got expired I save all of my SS and they turn it into coin, then suddenly days pass almost all of my coin have gone. From 1600 now its 200 all of it got expired

LilyOng LoHP chapters can cost up to 20ss per chapter (4k words plus at times).

Daily check-in was down to 5ss/check.

If you want entertainment, pay for it. Nothing is free in this world.

Cholleete same with me...we save coin for some book(wait for update) n chapter...but end up expired...

Heyyou
I agree... How are we supposed to buy and unlock privilege chapters if we don't have enough coins. Also, the coins we get from reading is so little (5 and 10 coins). And fast pass don't unlock privilege chapters.... How are we supposed to enjoy reading anymore? I miss watching videos to earn ss....

Cholleete
Sigh, I know
I lost also a lot coins the last few week...I buy the membership to grab the 810 coins because I'm from Canada and they was trying the membership with people in Canada first...I calculate I will have at the end 1210 coins because I use to buy spirit stone before too...
Still webnovel need to do something with the coins...hm with the points, I redeem 50% for 3 days novel....but for people who doesn't have a coins...how they will open the new chapter?
The things with the 3 pass for day will not allow to buy in the store hm ...buy 50% or 70% still need coins

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL but why is it I can't use pass to read the book...It's so boring

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL
The old version is even better than the current version of this app coz It is hard to earn ss/coins to purchase locked chapters.

Seriously I don't like this updated version....I can't use my points in the store why?
