APassingMe He might be saying that if you buy a chapter and other guy the chapter after that one, you can exchange(copypaste?). After all you can buy whatever chapter.

13 stones for one chapter hahahahahahahahaha

    #i also agree to this whahahahahahahahahah

      Yakumo Yea exactly, word count doesnt matter. My comment was basically about why japanese light novels are in the same price range as normal books and why chinese novels arent.
      As for wordcount, since these chinese webnovels are stupidly long they could be split into multiple volumes to sell them I suppose. But Im not too knowledgable about selling books, especially not in regards to webnovels.
      Since there isnt a comparable system for webnovels in the west Qidian will have to come up with some way to sell their books here.

        All these complaints about being poor. Can’t get a job? Then wait.

          Cless Yet you found the time to reply to my comment. Was it because there was nothing wrong with my statement?

            Vudis the price of a single book has nothing to do with this law... I could sell a 10 pages short book for 100$. As long as every store sells this book for 100$ and not less, it's according to law (Btw, the law differs from country to country, in Germany ebooks are also part of it). There are many books which are more expensive than others, especially scientific books, since they are based on alot of research.
            So it's totally up to the publishers to set the price and most are still in the same price range of similar products (differs by category, supply & demand and so on), but seems like QI wants to establish an own price standard for chinese novels. But if you consider their length, they are not much different from japanese light novels with their dozens of volumes long stories. So it wouldn't be wrong to compare their prices and the japanese prices are in line with normal novals (by word count) whereas the chinese are still more expensive despite their lower story (repetitions) & translation quality.
            I don't even ask for physical novels, but that their premium chapter price is cheaper or at least similar to normal ebook novels if you break the price down by word count

            Leechers complain more than anyone. Go get a job and buy some stones. Reading is a habit, better spend some bucks on reading than alcohol and cigarettes.

            Cless yeah, just ignore him. If you come with facts he will ignore them and answer with his same standard posts. In his opinion everything is solved by gettong a job. He also thinks this premium system is the same as patreon...poor soul
            Don't wanna wait? get a job

            Cytric I think free stones are worthless and only stones that are bought actually pay anyone anything lol

            Mute Too many people complained about paywall to do it that way lmao. Blame these arguing fools that don't want to pay in any way shape or form for this system lmao

              I could explain a river of words to you
              And it would still mean nothing.
              It is pointless .
              And I am done.
              Because at the end is still the truth that has been from the beginning:
              You are just a waste of time.

              (Break time over For me, bye!!)

              Cytric Wow that sure does conveniently leave out a lot of info lmao.

              shelwyn how can you compare those two? Patreon offers a fixed number of advanced chapters, but same release rate for everyone. Here you basically pay for a faster release rate than free readers. And if you take into account that this premium release rate is the same as before premium system how can it be cheaper...

                Yakumo Why do people always rant about the translators like they're the authors Lmao? What about the person who actually wrote what your reading? Don't give a flying crap about them?
