Confessions of a Serial Reader
mud7 I guess you don't enjoy the concept of free speech. And if they are such a large corporation, you bet my fucking ass I expect translation level 10000. Especially now with "premium" which is theoretically paid chapters. This is a forum, and people should be able to say what they want unless it is extremely offensive.
Might be a outlandish guess, but do you happen to orginate from a poorer less developed country with a lot of corruption (Not that there isn't a lot of corruption in first world countries, but its less noticable)? Just guessing based on your bad English and your authoritarian tendencies.
mud7 yeah fact you to stars and back
TargetPractice1
bad English = against free will + third world resident + authoritarian tendencies.
I don't even know to respond. So I will just repeat what I had said before into something you can understand.
Try writing a novel that is interesting enough that a large corporation like qidan decides to publish your story. Multiply it by the pressure of shitting out chapters, to keep your novel relevant. When the times comes for the pay check, imagine qidan saying. "Sorry mate, our readers don't wish to pay, Cheers."
Sitting on your ass and passing judgment is easy. I say that from experience. But money doesn't grow on trees and I bet qidan doesn't shit out gold bars. They have to pay to the authors, to developers and the administrators. There is a team working behind the scenes, which makes it possible for you to read your precious novels.
Believe it or not your free speech hurts those behind the scenes. I have seen some harsh comments from the leechers. The forum is filled with such people. So tone down the crazy. Take a breather and enjoy the novels.
P.S - I official relegate you to the crazies, also your outlandish guess is right on the mark.
TargetPractice1 it is really amazing that those who complain a lot are the leechers and the horders of spirit stones. Seeing their stones reducing everyday make them go nuts because they have no $$ to fork out.
When the TLs have their advanced chapters on patreon, these leechers have no complains. Already being given free SS everyday yet still wanting more benefits, what a shame.
mud7 diabolical comments
LMAO~ havent heard this since college :')))
Lol I have nothing against premium other than the fact that it is a flawed system. Doesn't matter too much to me. When have I mentioned wanting benefits? What matters is that this is a forum, and people should be able to express their complaints. Otherwise this wouldn't be a forum and instead a board of praise for QI. How does people talking shit about QI or novels going premium hurt those behind the scenes? Are their feelings hurt, causing them to lose money? Take a breather, ignore your so dubbed "crazies", and carry on with your life. 
to me you are one of the "crazies" and its funny as you argue against free speech.
mud7 I am one of the people who claimed the premium system is a rip-off.And ı must state premium system don't affect me anyway.ı stack up chapters. ı have a time.although the premium system is not affecting me ı still support the people who claim it is a rip-off.
mud7 Stop spamming, and don't start a discussion that talks about getting banned as a result of spamming.
Stop posting about how qidian is ripping you off and at the same time demand higher quality chapters.
And who the f. are you?This is a forum and this is forum's purpose.People can report a bug or complain something.
TargetPractice1 I am all for free speech, but posts about rigged competitions, multiple posts with same title annoy the shit out of me. Quite a few complained about getting banned when they were spamming on discord and then they started discussions on getting banned. I mean... to be honest, I don't even know to say. Hence this discussion.
You say, premium system is flawed. Propose a better one, or at least share your thoughts about it.
As to being a "crazy" I definitely am, confessing about my frustrations on a forum should have ticked you of my friend.

Frk_ozbk To be honest, I am tempted to reply with something like "I am a bear!" but I will be civil about it. As for a rip-off there is a little something, people call profit. That businesses need to stay afloat, or babies die all over the places...
I love how you censor uck from fuck. As if 3 extra characters might kill me.

mud7 As for a rip-off there is a little something, people call profit.
yeap we can discuss. I think it is rip-off .you think it is profit or business this what everyone does on forum.you can go and check the forum you can see a lot of people compare between prices of QIDIAN and light novel or classic books.ı did not want to censor but ı scared admin will delete it.all for your own good.
you cannot pleased everyone....so don't mind them....better yet neglect them....
mud7 If you read one of my posts in another thread, you would see how flawed/stupid Qidian was when they implemented the plan. This is what I propose Qidian should have done, which in my opinion would have been a million times better than their current system. Before implementing premium they should have set ALL chapter release rates in a week to be 7. This would get rid of almost all of the cureent backlash, although knowing QI, they'd still eventually cut out the free chapter numbers.
Here's why there will be no backlash: Unlile currently, where users feel Premium LIMITS and RESTRICTS free readers daily chapters, users will feel glad they get MORE chapters than usual, even if they have to pay spirit stones or real cash. This will make readers enjoy the premium program, as it makes them believe they are getting more than they had.
Here's why it would have been good for Qidian, not just due to the backlash. I'm assuming Qidian pays by the chapter. They lost tons of money paying for translators doing 10, 14, even 27 chapters a week. What did they get from that? A shitton of backlash after premium. A ton of lost money, which they are now using as an excuse for premium saying they lost so much money. Ofc they would still have been in the red, but they were paying double or triple the cost they could have been paying due to faulty planning and probably not choosing to have a financial analyst. @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL you are truly a dumbass. For people who claim increased helped increase popularity, sure, it might have caused more users to be using it, but those same users were already reading the novel and were probanly coming back anyways.
With this simple fix, there would be very little backlash other than the ppl who call it "beginning of paywall". Still better than now where they dont even hide the fact.
TargetPractice1 it may or may not have worked. I understand your point to of view, but toning down the release rate and then throttling it by the introduction of premium might have gotten either way. You gave just painted the brighter side of things.

mud7 I'm sorry I don't quite get what you mean. The reader's don't know that release rate was throttled if they started with 7 chaps a week. 7 a week was considered one of the better rates pre QI. Why did QI pay extra money when they didnt have to?
TargetPractice1 Qidan had to attract readers, their incentive came in the form of increased chapters. In the online platform its the rush of getting new dosages of wholesome 2000 characters that keeps the users hooked. Its not the story, god knows how shallow it can be, with paper thin plot and stupid protagonist. No matter how elegantly they are portrayed. but their are exceptions to every rule and I am digressing from the topic.
I can't say Qidan had made a smart move. Premium face slapping is partially implemented. They are testing the waters, keeping open their options.
