yaoyueyi I’d like to point out number 6. This one has been addressed in the past with comparisons. First of all 50k words is more of a light novel, where as most western novels range from 75k - 150k words iirc.
This one is a bit touchy as there are differences where it is difficult to compare. First of all a general 50k-75k word eBook goes for $5 or less, and the price doesn’t scale up depending on word count. A 50k ebook would go for $5, while a 100k ebook would go for $7-$8.
The first point where it is difficult to make comparisons is you can’t price these novels against leading titles, because there is simply a quality difference between them. Yes, there are many novels up to the same quality of writing, few exceeding, but most are not. There isn’t a quality rating system for how each book should be priced.
Second is the content amount. Webnovels traditionally have much more content, but most often extrapolate unnecessarily or simply add in filler content. A novel is generally formatted as beginning, progress (usually with some great difficulty or adversery in the end), conclusion. They go through cycles of editing before hitting the shelves.
I recall doing a comparison between the western market and SS cost about a year ago or something. If you were purchasing the largest packs of SS for the most bonus SS, allowing for daily free SS, then the price was pretty in line with western market prices, a tiny bit more expensive. But then others also pointed out quality of story and filler content was not accounted for. There was also junk food novels with are rinse and repeat for the most part. I recall someone saying that a 250g packet of chips isn’t worth a 250g piece of quality meat.
Anyway, in the end of my rambling, you can’t really compare the prices with real novels simply because the are too many incompatible criteria.
Everything else you’ve listed, I fully support 🧛♂️👍
