I just got news about this premium stuff today and it is... how do I say it? Like the gov cutting down food as if the food is lacking and then increase the price 2 folds. So freemium who get 9 - 12 ss a day + 10 ss for vots will unlock 2.4 sth chapters a day. Quite pathetic but still.
Anyway, enough about the above ranting, let me go back to our main topic.
With the appearance of Premium program, the title of first commentor will lose its value tremendously, if you care about it, since you dont know if the first commenter is premium or freemium. Well that's the bad side of this program, but it will be good if the number of first sect's commenters reduces (no offense, too many irrelevant ones are just crowding the comment section).
Im getting back to ranting mode again guys: if the previous mode (ad or ss) is to gain some money through ads (readers dont pay anything, just patience), i would say premium is trying to force readers to fork out moneys to pay for it. Plz, at least make it less obvious jesus. And this app has only appeared for like a year or 2? Dont remember but it is likely that in the future you will have to pay averagely 10p for a chap or sth. Woohoo what a nice future for qi pocket right?
Premium Program vs Comments
Your current stones will expire and what you earn daily will not be enough to read even a book.
Most readers, who read for free, will stay behind in history (7, 14, 21, 28 chapters and so on) while the premiums will have full access, this will overturn the novel's popularity and will create several conflicts over spoilers.
In the end we'll all be reading this on some pirate site. Well played, Qidian.
Cytric democratic: the wall between the rich and the poor or should i say between premium and freemium
I tried to use some ss for the premium chapter and saw around 40 comments. I really hope they are like me using ss and not premium one cuz that would be a huge down fall for freemium
- Edited
I only have 1 question. When will we start to pirate the premium chapters off? Let's start printing people. All we need is 1 website and Premium is fucked.

Still waiting for them to change it to a monthly subscription. Pay a fee for access to novels of your choice. They do that and I will consider going premium. I was so close to buying stones upon seeing my pathetic stones at 25 and then realized that's exactly the situation where they want users to be -- and if everyone decides to buy stones, they wont change how this works because people are buying it.
Why did they abolish the ads system? This sucks man
