rolas I'm to lazy to keep arguing with people like you. Just a small reminder, I know that every american believes for his country to be the greatest, but if you speak about the home of democracy, then I should think that you are greek? Or Polish? Or maybe Venetzian? Just for your information, USA isn't democratic. USA is republican. Thats as far as your knowledge about your own country goes, silly.
Also:
As far as I know, Europan Union is as far from being banana republic as it could be. But well, can't judge typical american brainless kiss who take chances when gussing the locations of the other continents. But welp, thats not your fault. It's your "perfect system" fault for creating such education that results in People lacking basic information about the world.
And again - European Union actually passed new legislations. While thanks to previous point I can't judge you from being ignorant to the fact that Switzerland isn't a part of EU, but you should remember that it's already illegal in here, in the cradle of human civilisation.

Yuki_Qing Thank you. Finally, someone provides complete instructions on this. It took me ages to figure out the "paging, not scrolling" part, another kind soul mentioned it in a different thread. I wish they'd add it to the official intro to farming in the app.
On a separate note, I feel that the reading rewards are pitifully low. You can easily get the same number of points with a few mins of farming. Tbh it kinda killed my momentum of reading a lot in this app. Not to mention that my preferred translated works do not have farming mode too. 
- Edited
there are 2 types of farming, 1. farming point while reading slowly and 2. farming point without reading (solely focus on points).
If you enjoy reading while farming (No. 1), guess you will receive the same points with reading rewards section and lower too.
if you choose no. 2, there is no need for reading, just farming points with slide the page fast till you saw ads, keep sliding or can do backward/forward the slide till saw the ads. For records, the reader can get 1500-2000/ hour. Mine got 900 points/30 mins. Disadvantage your finger will feel hurt
yeah, some people will think it so stupid and pointless, but nvm, you can do it when you feel free/bored.
Just suggestion, for translation, maybe you can turn off the farming mode if you don't like to see the ads in the middle of reading.
paging/ scrolling is when you tap the chapter > tap the display, you can explore many things in that setting, such as dark/light mode, auto unlock, etc :)

I love books and i tend to drop a series soon as its locked since i can't afford to pay 10 thousand dollars to read all the books i want to read but i do agree with some people that if you are making people pay like 100 dollars for 1 volume of a web novel that is kinda outrageous. especially when light novels that are being translated into english language through real publishers cost around 10 dollars per volume. I think you should all take a good hard look at the pricing each chapter should truly cost and maybe not go by oh its 2k words so lets squeeze out 5 dollars but maybe take a better idea of have 1-so and so chapters be volume 1 and you pay 10 bucks for volume 1 and so forth to give a fair chance for normal people that may turn to pirating to finish an addictive story to read it here for an amount they can actually afford.
p.s to everyone saying oh they got to pay for this pay for this pay for this. even an actual publisher that prints on paper covers there cost on 10 bucks a volume because the costs of editing and proof reading and printing on paper and cost of the paper and the ink gets covered by the fact that instead of 1-2 people paying 300 dollars they have 1000-10000 spending that 10 dollars on that book. so i'm sure you all are smart enough to realize you can get more out of your novels if you have higher quality standards on translations and maybe a more reasonable amount of money per volume instead of per chapter
yaoyueyi My problem is the massive amount of translated content available is mostly machine translations with shoddy editing. It's the number 2 reason I quit spending money on here. Number 1 is my appetite was too expensive. All these changes won't fix the fact I could go machine translate the required amount of chapters and do a poor editing job and get a job translating here and that is an issue.
Quality is necessary, doesn't need to be perfect but some of the translations on here could be done by a real translator and probably make a sizable increase to the cash flow but instead y'all ascribe to the "quantity over quality" method which to be honest is infuriating to me as I genuinely enjoy many aspects of Chinese web novels but less so when tenses are wrong many times in a paragraph or names are translated differently randomly, chapters are posted out of order, or chapters are repeated (don't know how much those two things have cost me in ss and $), whole paragraphs left out or left in but untranslated, allowing basically the last half the previous chapter to be the first half of the next chapter (infrequent but still should be against the rules both for author's and translations lol).
I'm not gonna threaten to do anything. Just as a customer who has in fact spent money reading on here I'd like to say the quality had sorely disappointed after many of the original translations were finished most of the new translations are sloppy and some may even be a copy & paste directly from a certain website with comrade in the name and that truly doesn't make me want to be a big spender as poor translations just ruin the author's work.
Memberships should have unlimited access across the platform coin system is a scam and web novel knows this quite well rebranding a already better rewards system just to ruin it with making out you are gaining something by the new system now is false advertising if this platform keeps this up i am taking my money elsewhere

yaoyueyi If they remove ss, it’s not as personal as before. At least they’re pretending to be hip. Can’t they have some shame? Also I’m registering my name in the free covers for next batch
Why is Webnovel so weird with their connection issues
MotivatedSloth i actually know the fcking difference between responsible and irresponsible people. I don’t know what your role is on Webnovel. But I do know no responsible business will actually use such vulgar words when talking to their customers. Yes we’re freaking customers. And you actually think a Webnovel has more words and work done than a medical book?
Well done
And thank you very much! You made my decision much much easier. I had four accounts and I top up SS Or coins, whatever, a minimum of $50 on each account. I have been looking for a reason leave and your rude and obnoxious message has shown me that I do not want to be associated with such a category of people like you.
I will take my money and my business to more responsible place, where people don’t insult you for expressing your views. Places that actually invest in customer care and has zero tolerance for pompous, ignorant people like you.

Then never visit another forum, ever. Sloth isn't a webnovel employee, he's another user same as you and I, and if one user pissing in your corn flakes causes you to pull all stakes, best leave the internet now.
yaoyueyi you know guys, you can speak and deliver it properly without cursing.
The message you want to relay will still the same, u don't need to curse in every sentence like a sailor on loose.
They tried that with the subscription service and it screwed authors. So it was removed.

Why do people still compare different media prices?
Why do not compare webnovel chapters to webseries or podcast paid episodes? Why do compare to printed books or downloadable digital books?
Also: how can you put price into an incomplete work, that can be 100k or 1m words (meaning hours of hard work from it's author, editor and translators)?
Don't you ever saw casual games such as Happy Farm or whatever it's named? You receive some coins for free everyday, and can expand your farm or join the daily tasks and special events. If your coins end, you either choose to wait for the next reset for more free coins, or pay for extra coins with real cash. As the game is ever expanding, of course it ends up being far expensive compared to a downloadable game that is complete.
The business model is the same for webnovels. But even my mom, who +60yo and is a hardcore player of such games, can understand why it has to be this way.

I'm glad about the membership option, but I still
have a certain question/suggestion on its development in the future:
So here I go... why can't Webnovel offer a couple of 'different' memberships? It shouldn't be to hard to offer a customized membership, like for example:
- Iron membership = 310 coins a month + 1 Power and Energy Stones each day.
- Silver membership = 465 coins a month + 2 Power and Energy Stones each day.
- Gold membership = 620 coins a month + 3 Power and Energy Stones each day.
(And also, different profile customization for each different membership, gold boarders around gold members like an example).
I would sincerely be happy to see something like mentioned above implemented into the platform 
I understand that you have Naive in name, but that doesn't give you the right to think that others are just as naive.
Have four diffrent accounts that you invest 50$ in each? Bullcrap.
You don't know my possition in Webnovel? Let me get it clear for you. I don't have any. I'm just your everyday writer. So you are in no way a customer of mine, nor am I someone in service for you. I'm in no way representing Webnovel or authors or readers in this discussion, just giving out few cents of my opinion.
And no, I won't hold back my words. If someone act like and idiot, I will point that out and follow with lenghty explanation detailing the lapses in the logic to ultimately bring them to a conclusion where I show what kind of preasumption is idiotic, earning them the name I used.
If someone uses ad personam against me - Just like you - I won't hold back and will kindly use the same level language to get the message across.
All in all, your words showed that not only you did not invest a penny into the webnovel, you even tried to somehow take me down by claiming to leave? Funny. Well, good try I have to say but regretfully for you, anyone with brain will see exactly the same points that I brough. So well, good luck on your journey and I wish you won't break when real life slaps you hard when you get out of your parents protective umbrella and will have to make living on your own.
