Xeter Translating original novels? 😲😲😲 Did you ask the authors for permission? You do realize you can't just translate original works without asking the author, right? πŸ€”

    8ne Honestly I don't care about WN new system at all save for the one reason you just addressed. According to the translator of Pursuit of Truth, word from high up was it was popular enough to be hidden behind the new pay wall. Fine, I sure don't like it, but I ain't gonna hold it against a company trying to make money, and definitely not against the translator. So long as I waited for the chapters to be released later at the cost of one of those daily tickets I was okay with it, but we are now less than 30 chapters away from the completion of the novel and a week has passed with no new releases. I like to do things the legal way, so I'll wait a few more weeks but if WN doesn't at least let me use my daily tickets to get through the last few I will find it elsewhere, and I'll probably be able to because Qidian set the precedent of free chapters and then slowly rolled that back. What I think they didn't understand about western audiences is that would do nothing but u push the majority of us away. I won't do it, but I'm positive this move has pissed someone, somewhere off enough to just pay the 8 bucks for the first month, copy and paste EVERYTHING and then upload it to a bunch of websites. I'll just find that guys work. As per usual the true victims are the translators. The more popular your novel gets, the more microtransaction BS is thrown in your work, the more readers start to turn on you. Other than Pursuit of Truth I only really read one other novel on WN consistently, so in the end I don't really care if WN wants to burn itself to the ground, but I will not be returning once those two are done for sure.

      Whatever coins I'm getting nowadays. Those are not being adding up to my account. Why?

        An average translated chinese novel is 1000 chapters, each chapters priced 5 coins average. 5*1000=5000 which, converted to USD is 100 USD, i don't understand why you say it is 10 bucks a book

          I dont understand this app again, no more coins and the free pass given is nt working with all story

          I dont understand this app again, no more coins and the free pass given is nt working with all story

            Airye read the first post again carefully.

            If you buy 500 coins for $10, you're getting 100,000 words of content, and pretty much, that's like paying 10 bucks for a book. Not that expensive.

            100,000 words = 10 bucks.
            most normal books = around 100,000 words.

            I'm not saying a WN is 10 bucks, I'm saying that for the pricing that you have to pay for 100,000 words, it's 10 bucks.
            if you have 5 coins per chapter, that's 1000 words per chapter, * 1000 chapters is 1 million words. you're paying 100 dollars for a million words. seems not bad.

            Thanks for explaining! πŸ’™ 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? πŸ˜‚ It feels like it is already good for 1 chapter. πŸ˜…

              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.
