Thanks for explaining! 💙 I was just going to ask about these topics XD

yaoyueyi > yaoyueyi 10) Why can't I unlock privilege chapters w/ FP?

Privilege = for readers who can pay & spend money on coins. It was never intended for free readers in the first place.

This I understand the reason behind. However, is viewing the advance chapters all the benefits that privilege readers get? Atleast in the past, consumers get free bonus coins when they top up but now, not even that is present.

Also, I just topped up not too long ago and consumed the coins I bought before I wandered here in the forums and read this thread and kinda regretted not buying the membership instead but when I went back to the homepage, I can't find where I can purchase the membership. I wanted to find out how much exactly it costs using our country's currency and see if it is still within the expensive range (since our country is quite poor and even $1 is already very valuable to elders since it can already buy us a kilo of rice) and not under the very expensive range. I know I'm somehow making excuses but different countries have different economy issues which is probably why others are angry at the new update since it could really be already very expensive when compared to the local market prices(?) and became way out of their budget.

I just want suggest about letting privilege readers to atleast be able to use fast pass on unlocking privilege chapters since the previous benefit of bonus coins and rebates(?) is gone.

I also want a clarification on the rebates. Is it really gone along with the new update? How about the rebates for December? Will we also not receive it anymore?

All in all, I agree with the balance for the free readers but am quite upset for those who are paying, especially those who only purchased for the privilege. The new update is unfair towards them(PrivilegeReaders). They paid but only received the benefit of advance viewing and still has to pay again to read those chapters and can't even use the free FP.

I am originally a free reader but due to impatience, I sometimes want to read advance chapters so, I buy coins and purchase privilege. I am guilty to say this but I never really supported my favorite novel(&author&translator) since I have always been using free SS to purchase chapters and privilege in the past. I even managed to save up to 1k SS through free to earn SS. I only purchased using real money less than five times.

I really understand the reasons behind the new update but I still can't stop feeling wronged and so had to rant in here.

I wonder how many words I managed to type here? 😂 It feels like it is already good for 1 chapter. 😅

    yaoyueyi my only two complaints: 1why do fast pass(something digital) have a stock ? 2 why aren't more fp given out with the check under?

          Is there away to change what alerts are shown? I know the coins are expiring and seing the alert is a bit annoying

            Has anyone got the membership is it worth it???
            Also can anyone get it via PC i can't seem to find it via PC and i don't like using the app much so i don't want to pay via app

              Bigboydan96 1) can't answer, I'm only a forum mod, have no influence over what they choose to do. 2) you get 3 FP a day... that should be enough.

                Toje no, you cannot get it in PC. from what I've seen, it gives you more coins for cheaper.

                  lolandylol you can't, but if you want to stop getting them, an alternative is to just find any locked novel and unlock all the chapters with your coins. or gift your coins away.

                  imlostinbooks i did a word count bc I was curious, lmao. you only have 438 words. multiply it by 2 and you might get a super short chapter (876 words). most authors have to write 3x that amount per chapter, at a minimum. so fun facts. :P

                  anyways, I understand some of your complaints, but I can't really do anything about it b/c i'm not WN staff. maybe if WN sees the problems of taking away rebates, they'll do something about it, but not guarantees.

                    .... Right, ok, so free readers, can read like 3 locked chapters a day, meaning I get 10-30 mins of content to read per day of them.... yeah nah mate, unless I'm updated to the end, I might as well drop books, possibly even the site and find greener pastures.... I say that, but there's some interesting fan fictions here, so I'll be staying lol

                    Oh and can we please do something about spam comments? Cause it's just disgusting seeing comments that are random characters on the keyboard, or copy pasted phrases, or emotes, or whatever else. In short, the exp system needs an update, or something else as it's just cancer at the moment. I don't particularly mind people saying exp, but when people just spam the same phrase or emotes, or just slam their head across their keyboards and hit send, it's just makes me want the option to purge it, and I can't as it's not a legal report option. Please do something about that.

                      Can you please explain to me why the minimum amount of purchasing coins has been removed from purchasing options? That's the only option i can afford and now im turning into a free reader which sucks since i have to wait for a day to continue reading. Please bring it back😢

                        I am losing my coins every day...😭😭

                          Honestly the fp not being useable with privilege chapters is kinda bull. Say all the novels u read now have gone privilege, having gotta to the most up to date chapter, it means u gotta find another novel to follow just so u can use the fp? Just unlocking the privilege is already expensive enough. Not being able to use fp on privilege chapters is like a middle finger to us spending users.

                            For countries using the dollar it may not be much, for countries with currency that dominates the doller, it may not be much either.
                            But for countries far suppressed by the doller, five dollers for a few chapters becomes extravagant.

                            All fingers aren't equal.

                              yaoyueyi no it’s not the fact that we have to pay to read the stories it’s the fact that this app went from $2.99 for 250 coins to $4.99 for 250 coins while the prices for chapters are still 8-13 coins to unlock. If I have to drop $5 to read only 20 chapters max then I just won’t read the book. And free stories are good but hard to read with the lack of editing on it so people are only willing to go so far with those as well. I’m all for supporting the authors but there is no real benefit to the readers. The membership is also a scam because once those 500 coins are gone you’re literally right back at the same position as the readers who didn’t pay the $8 for a month.

                              Toje it’s not worth it. I bought it when the offered it the first day thinking it would help out with the cost but the only thing it does is give an extra few coins a day. Buying more coins is not cheaper as they took away the cheapest option. Members and non members all have to pay the same no matter what. No extra passes, no extra points to get couches or fast passes, nothing. But ad free
