Well Imho I love this premium chapter, as for me is cheaper then patreon.. I pledge 100$ months, but now only 20$ for gratitude to the translator... And why bother, we all reading for have fun to enjoy the content. You can all still read it. I appreciate qidian because of this I can read the story and support both the translator and the maker of the novel.. What you think the qidian? Some charity program? When they buy and manage the Novel we read? They gotta pay they staff, they need got some fortune and with that income they can enjoy their life more and can motivate them to make a better quality translation? And can improve more.. If you want to quit or drop the novel just do it, why you need to rant and persuade other people to follow your ego?

    After all they don't force you to spend your money? It's still your own choice how you spend it. It's market system.. You have money to spend you get more, you don't have or don't want to spend just enough enjoy the free stuff and be patient.. You like people who's complaining to God or others when you are broke but don't wanna work to get the money

      Jimmybo good job in reading the previous posts... Ppl aren't asking for a charity program but an attractive model, like subscription or sth else. And how about they deliver quality first instead of us "investing" in a possibly improved quality in the future? That's not kickstarter...

        Jimmybo And couldn't they pay their staff with a subscription system?
        They went out of China with the idea that the system they have there will work here. They could change, they are just to arrogant to come look for our complains and ideas

          Jimmybo Where are we that we cannot offer our opinions? Something can only improve with feedback and our opinions are feedback. So in your opinion there is just a single option and that is to accept it? One lives easy with a simple mind huh?

            Well I read some of it lol too many of them, but mostly of them just stupid rant about the system...

            Giving a suggestion is a good thing, but making people to follow your ego/suggestions is kinda stupid.. And they comments is more like flaming rather than giving a suggestion...

            Imo not everything is perfect when they started it, give them some times, they need times.. You don't know what issues they have, you just blaming without thinking in their shoes..

            As I said if you don't like the system now, just gtfo or drop it, or just enjoy the free stuff and patience.. After all the translator already told they support the system know... ( I don't know if they already told in here or not, because mostly I just read in gdrive in patreon)

              Yakumo opinion using a good sentence that can help the one who receives it or read it...

              Rant is different, hey this is stupid bla bla I will drop this series bla bla, it's money milking bla bla bla we should drop it bla bla...

              Opinion : hey I kinda don't like this system because it's bla bla, I think I got better suggestions why don't we try learning from here bla bla..

              Cmiiw

                Jimmybo Rude rude rude why not you gtfo from the forum?

                K.I.S.S

                You are happy to pay? Why $100 for Patreon and $20 to Qidian????

                So cheap! You need to contribute moar!!

                Go for $200 then come to the forums and then you can go bitch about lol

                  Jimmybo You are a god d*mn MVP if you pledge 100$ a month for 10 novels.
                  No, I know you only pledge like only 1 novel but still a MVP.
                  I do not have enough money or enough appreciation to pledge 100$ for a single book monthly.
                  For example I like J.K.Rowling books so I bought the set but that's it.
                  For example I like J.R.R.Tolkein books so I bought the set but that's it.
                  For example I like Dan Brown books so I bought the set but that's it.
                  For example I like Michael Lewis books so I bought some more but that's it.
                  For example I like David Peace books so I bought some more but that's it.
                  For example I like Anne Rice books so I bought some but that's it.
                  For example I like Christie Golden books so I bought some but that's it.
                  If i have enough money and appreciation for author, I bought their books but that's it.

                  Well I never force my opinion on anyone really.

                  Do you really think everyone is donating translator with 100$ every month?
                  1$ patreon pledge exists for a reason.
                  Don't force your rich man ideology on us.

                  We were talking about how the price is high compare to some of the professional platforms (netflix/kindle).
                  And yes we were talking about translation quality and books themselves too.
                  You want to look down on us for being misers and accuse us of robbing the poor translators and editors of their pay, really?

                    immortal_corrupt see this yakumo, it's not suggestions lol... And he don't even read my post carefully...

                    I pledge 100$ and now I decrease it 20$ to the "translator" in patreon, because I appreciate it for what he do... Although he no longer post any advance chapters in patreon, I still appreciate it... Not spend 100$ in qidian lol.. Oh but thx for suggestions I will do it now.. So they know they still some. People support it hahaha

                    And fyi I rarely go read in qidian before, cause I usually go to patreon and read using gdrive.. But I think I can enjoy here more.. See people like you pleb who only can rant

                    See this one big example to how, giving suggestions or only want to flame or making trouble lol... Just like I said if you want to drop it just do it.. Don't need to force your ego to people..

                      Jimmybo yeah so? I offered my opinion and several others also, but like everywhere there are also rant posts. In 99% of the internet that's the case as long as the thread isn't being moderated. Saying we are all just ranting is pure ignorance on your side. Just like we cannot expect a charity program, they cannot expect blind eyed investment/sponsorship from us. They have to deliver just like I have to deliver quality work for my money...

                        LordFatCat well dude I never suggested people to pledge 100$ lol did I ever told it? I just show them many people like me who appreciate the translator and the author for what they do.. And if you can't spend do something more good thing like tell a good word about them or something else rather rant and making people like evil lol

                        FYI I only pledge 3 translator 100$ in patreon, don't make it so big.. I never said 10

                          Yakumo well same here then I just Giving my opinion so other people who read this not only troll people who's like to rant....

                          Oh well English is not my native language too... :( is it conspiracy?

                            Jimmybo Thank you my sweet little sister or brother or little thing for your support :)

                            I, your father, am happy to see my dear thing growing up to spend money and buy some chapters while your father here buys books to read. Your education is hurting me allot.

                            I wonder who is your mother who taught you to spend?

                            Hmm, maybe we need to cut your allowance so that you can spend less?

                            Plebs? Sorry what language is that? I only understand full words and not some half written English that come from God knows where.

                            Man, I guess your father here need to teach you how to spell and write? Oh boy. Maybe I should cut your internet hours so that you can brush up on English as it is still the primary language in the world.

                            Little sister, brother or thing. Don’t worry, you insult your father but it is okay. You are actually insulting yourself worse as we ‘made’ you.

                            So actually you are saying you are worse than us?

                            Hmm logic is so weird.

                            Good day little thing with the ‘bo’

                              Jimmybo This is no suggestion thread, but a discussion thread with opinions... But you can also find suggestions here, like subscription and how it already works for other companies?! But all the pro premium ppl only post like 'they need to eat, poor QI. This is alrdy betta than patreon, like it'. That's basically the only contrairy opinion, but you cannot expect ppl to pick this up again and again as a base for a discussion... since QI doesn't want to discuss/answer to the community, the rant in these threads is guaranteed. That's like Trump signing a new decree, ignoring all the opposition in the USA, not even hearing them and all the pro Trump just say 'we need this, Trump so gud, no criticism allowed'

                                Jimmybo
                                Premium system is way overpriced you can check stats. If you think it is rant so be it.
                                I don't even want to explain more.

                                How many people do you think spend 300 on pledge every month?
                                30?50?
                                Is the website is dedicated to 50 people who will spend many dollar bills or
                                Is it mean for people like me who are willing to spend in tiny/small amounts?
                                Sometimes I just feel sad.
                                Yakumo haha, I laugh so hard xD
