LavishSquirrel Absolutely!! I actually once calculated the average cost per book, and the cheapest is almost $150. I mentioned that a Webnovel is actually more expensive than a printed, not electronic, medical book. One of the translators had the gal to tell me that they worked harder on the novels than a medical book. What pisses me off is that I don’t blame them. I blame my stupid ass for actually getting addicted. When I first started reading, the books were free or had adverts. I started paying at 1200-1400 chapters. By then I just wanted to finish the book. While waiting, I tried others and without that sense of closure, it becomes a vicious cycle of waiting and trying others. Books that follow a one track pattern: trash cultivating become stronger, reincarnation, reticent, virgin male lead who only like the female lead, constant attempts at sabotage (drug, murder and rape attempts).
I am really pissed now. I don’t spend my money to be ranted by poor customer service, who by the why, don’t respond to all their customers. I don’t care if I actually finish any of the books now

    Naive_Gumshoe Just for your information. Average novel everywhere in the world ranges between 80k words - 150k words, with 150k being a very sizeable book already.

    Your average novel here, has 500k words+

    Know the fcking difrence.

      Naive_Gumshoe haha omg. Are you me? I've been here since it was all free too. I remember the entire wuxi.a.world debacle. I remember when they implicated locked chapters but every new update it would unlock one or 2 previous locked chapters. I was cool with that. But then they started locking novels from chapter 90 on. I went from reading translated to originals real fast. Now all the good originals are locked. I just read on a different site now cuz like you I'm so addicted and I need my book fix at least once a day. I'm not paying more than 30 bucks for a book that doesn't further my education. Financially I don't think anyone can afford to pay 150 to 500 USD in any country for just one book unless they are making 6 figures.

      Funny thing is I left an app review on Google play store a while back saying they are greedy and what not. WN replied back saying they would take my review into consideration then released the fast pass BS. Lmao! Come on WN.

      Oh yeah. Some originals don't follow that dumb and irritating looping plot pattern that translated books follow which is probably why I seek out originals more than translated to read.

        MotivatedSloth
        HAHAHAHAHHA..... Are you saying I'm a pirate? then you are no exception. let me tell you why. In this platform most of the novels are translated ones. but does the Chinese and Korean authors target you English and other languages people as a target? No. they are targeting their own people. anyway, where we were? yes, do you have any f*cking evidence that provide that the translator have the right from the original author?( yeah of course few of those translators may have the right from the author, but you can count them by one hand) let me guess....

        you fcking don't have any sht.

        please don't talk about other when YOU ARE ONE OF THEM.
        sorry for my bad language, but you used it firstπŸ˜‡

          LavishSquirrel
          do you what the funny thing is? the are saying the people who used "pirate" website are SHAMELESS. I can't hold it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.
          yeah people are shameless. but that is still many time better then being greedy and sucking the reader blood completely for baying chapter.

          rolas exactly.....
          I tried to tell this point but they just ignoring and using the excuse of the privacy and shame to make the people avoid think about it.
          anyway. please contact me ( Instagram: mohamad_taher9 ). please.....

            The_Good_Devil Oh boy, not only you are freakingly stupid, you don't even know basic facts about this site. I guess that's why you are trying to use ad personam 'arguments' as you have nothing else in your pitiful arsenal.

            EVERY SINGLE FCKING TRANSLATED BOOK HERE is owned by quidian.

            Do you know what Quidian is? Yes, a parent company to Webnovel. They actually made this site as a branch that was going to translate THEIR novels to English and spread them in non-Chinese markets.

            I know that you are desperate to prove me wrong because of how fragile your ego is - which is easily noticeable by how invested you got in your posts - but if you ever want to have a fcking chance at rebuking me, then get more knowledge about this place than me.

            And if you think you are not a pirate, then prove me wrong. Give me your personal data so I can report you to the right department of police in your country. Just for your information, people that founded the pirate bay got 1 year in prison and just a tad bit under 4 million USD of fines to pay. Then some of the people proved to use their services followed suit.

            You are a fucking piece of shit, who thinks that you are entitled to reading the work of authors for free, only because some scum steals it and allows you to easily steal it as well. Any attempts to defend your views are only proving how conceited, childish and misinformed you are. While I would love to call you names that would describe who do I think you are, your own words are more than enough to mix you with faeces.

            So let me give you some advice. Get out of your home. Yes, you can do it. You won't die if you leave your fucking basement. Then go to the first person you will see and try to get their wallets from them. If they refuse to give it to you, tell them that your country politics is robbing you with taxes, so you are entilted to rob others as well. Then just wait a second for nice and kind gents in either blue or black (depends how police dresses in your country) to come and knock some sense into your rotten head. Or just get beaten up by any random, normal person that would see this situation. Only this shock-therapy has any chances of curing you from your childishness, entiltement and idiocy. Good luck!

              rolas You are doing something illegal. Using pirate sources to obtain any kind of Intelectual property is illegal. There are cases when people got jailed for it (look for the Pirate Bay trails)

              So yeah, you are just and entilted little guy that is going to write literally any kind of bullcrap to get a speck of attention. But trust me, there is better way to do it! Try to contribute to the society instead of being a cancerous element instead! This will give you a chance to get some friends IRL. While it won't guarantee it (after all, with your attitude, you have a long way ahead) but there is this tiny little chance so I guess you should jump on it.

                MotivatedSloth ok ok.
                I will NOT argue with you anymore. but please read this stuff here. https://outline.com/R2X4Dp
                and please don't f*cling protect someone without knowing them by heart. at the beginning I tried to play it in a safe way. and at one point I knew It will go aggresive. that way I tried to end there. but you continue it. and here you are taking the responsibility for it.
                anyway, have a great evening good mister this time.

                  MotivatedSloth what about the fcking korian novels. does this sht Quidian have the right for it? they fcling don't. and one more thing. I had saw a few novels stolen from other website and put on this platform and getting tons of viewers. why didn't they fcking care about the story originals and delete it? maybe because they are "good" people and doesn't want to make the person who published it to be sad? HAHAHAHA. F*ck this shit πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.

                    The_Good_Devil You are so conceited in your alternative reality that a facts don't speak shit to you. You bring one point, I show you how wrong it is and then you instantly switch to another. Let me dissect both of your replies then cuz I'm bored and you are stupid enough to warrant my response.

                    The_Good_Devil I will NOT argue with you anymore

                    We are not arguing. You need to be equal in terms of thesis to do so. You are just trying to lie the reality out

                    The_Good_Devil but please read this stuff here.

                    I read it ages ago. It's unobjective swarm of lies, halftruths with only a little amount of fair points. Most of it is a personal perception of someone who does not get how reality works and just can't get over the fact that the times when you could steal chinesse (and other asian) novels and translate it for free while only asking for donations are over, because the authors actually are interested in making their due profits of the foreign market now.

                    The_Good_Devil don't f*cling protect someone without knowing them by heart.

                    This sentence overall doesn't make any sense, so I will go with the thing I think is closest to what you wanted to say.
                    I don't know quidian fully. No one does. It's a bit too big and spread out to understand every last bit of it, especially with the Chinesse protectonism of the information. But considering the facts that I know (and I will have you know, as contracted author I know a fair bit more than you) Webnovel is playing fair.

                    If you wanted to forbid me from judging you then, welp, sorry. We are in the internet. If you act like an idiot, you will be called an idiot. No use crying over it.

                    The_Good_Devil at the beginning I tried to play it in a safe way.

                    I robbed an old woman. At the beggining I tried to play it in a safe way so I just told her to give me her purse. Only when she refused, I beat her up, burned her family and raped her house. It's her responsibility all this happened!
                    - Do you get the point now?

                    The_Good_Devil that way I tried to end there.

                    No, you did not try to end it there. There are normal ways to do so that are pacyfing the conversation instead of sparing its continuation. YOu just wanted to abuse someone and get away with it, thats why you are using the syndrome of besieged tower right now.

                    The_Good_Devil but you continue it.

                    I just pick up your own pace, kiddo.

                    The_Good_Devil you are taking the responsibility for it.

                    No, I'm not. Don't try to put the blame on me for reasons only you can imagine. Didn't you learn already that the adult part of this forum society is looking at you with scorn and pity? Thats why if you want to bring some sort of point, you need to explain the reasoning behind it.

                    The_Good_Devil what about the fcking korian novels.

                    I have no idea what "korian" novels are. But if you mean KORean, then yes, they bough the license and have every right to distribute it as they wish.

                    The_Good_Devil they fcling don't.

                    Like I said above, they do. Poor kid, all your arguments are falling apart when pitted against reality. I guess you are yet too young to understand how contracts and adult world looks and works like

                    The_Good_Devil aw a few novels stolen from other website

                    This site is too big to control everything. If someone puts stolen story as original work... Then it's his fault, not WN. This kind of actions is against the rules of the site so if you see it, instead of ranting, you go on the forum/discord and report this fact. I saw someone reposting story from Royal Road, one of my friends reported it, it got taken down. You have to understand that with how big this site is, solving all the reports take a while. And just for the sake of your information, getting views means nothing. THere are no ads for free stories, and you won't be able to get contract and well - MONEY - from plagiarised work. They check it upon sending the contract, so your point is silly.

                    The_Good_Devil . F*ck this shit

                    Said your mother when she saw what kind of bullshit you are posting on the internet.

                      MotivatedSloth
                      ok! the true man admits his mistakes. and that right. I really thought they are posting the translated novels here without any rights. anyway I shouldn't judge them without knowing the WHOLE work system on this platform.

                      and for reading novels on the pirate website, I did ask a knowledgeable person in the religious way. and the answer was, "any action with the goal of harming other shouldn't be done" but if you watch movies/ downloading games/ read novel and didn't publish them( which will resulted in harm them). you are good if it is for personal uses.
                      of course everyone has different beliefs and we can't always believe the "law" to be true in some cases. even though my believes may be wrong. but I still do it because beliefs are important for one identity and will not change that easily.

                      finally. I would like to say thank you for today experiment. and I really learn a lot of thing from it, and I will use the learned lessons to become a better person.

                      have a great day sir✌✌

                      PSA: Reading rewards are not coins. They are points.

                      You can use the points in the point store to get fast passes. Please read the first post for more details.
                      And because people don't read, this will be repeated at the bottom as well.

                      @MotivatedSloth I usually find myself about to like your valid points, but then I see the flaming and insults and then a war breaking out, and it really detracts from everything you say. Plus derailing the threads make this forum less usable, which is quite impressive considering that the search function is mostly inoperable.

                        KoraL Thanks mate, it's just that I really hate entilted kind of people. I grew up in an einvoirnment when I had to defend my beliefs (faith) against entire group of people (atheist friends) so I kinda jump on the boat when I get tilted.

                        Fyed you need to have the Beta version I think. or to wait after three day there will be update for the app
