no...they are just an example from a quick search....too lazy to search for more...
if there are 300 translated novels...probably more than 200 translated novels don't have gift function
ALL translated novels should have the gift function
From the moment the gift function was turned on...all translated novels should have it. It doesn't cost anything to turn it on. Any monetary reward would benefit the authors and the site. It has been more than a year and nothing has been done. Someone drop the ball big time on this.

Gifts are stupid anyway, just buy privilege instead.

This novel is so good....
gift function would generate some extra revenue...
which might help keep this novel being translated..

Whoever is running Webnovel operation is dropping the ball on this one.
Make it mandatory that all Translated Novels have a gift function. Any little bit of extra revenue helps.

What the Author/translator gets from gift function is really, really low. Hardly think it's worth the effort unless every single person gifts for each chapter read.
For an original, the Author (I presume) would find gifting to be a huge motivational factor rather than a monetary incentive factor.
We get money from gifts? I don't think any gifts I've earned has given me real money into my bank account. But it's the reader love and thought that counts.
It's the whales who give big gift if they really like the novel. The average paying reader most likely won't give gift or give little.
On Qidian in China, it is not uncommon for a popular author to get gift of several hundreds dollars from a rich millionaire.

Looks like I need to sucker in a whale. Any whales want to waste money on an emotional BL? XD
Whales are great. Webnovel could use some whales to get some dropped projects translating again.
