Looks like its time to say goodbye to those novels

    Oxy realizing the difference isn't really hard, you just don't want to understand the difference.
    Maybe you understand algebra - time to catch up if you don't wanna pay anymore according to a release rate of 14 chapters per week:
    t: time in days to catch up
    w: weeks you read premium chapters for
    p: patreon advanced chapters (constant)

    patreon: t = p/14
    complexity: O(1)

    qidian: t = 14w/7
    complexity: O(w)

    O(1) << O(w)

      well , i was really enjoying strongest system , strongest gene , super gene , LOHP and Mr CEO . but i guess i'm dropping them now. i was wondering when SSystem would turn premium after Sgene and Superg turned . qidian doesn't disappoint huh. f this shit . just 2-3 more novels left in my library , they'll turn premium and i'll stop visiting this site altogether . NICE BUSINESS STRATEGY , GREEDY CHINESE CUNTS

      Oxy 30 free ss? which world are you living in? its lucky to get more than 25 sometimes , and with so many good novels in premium , you'd need 50+ stones easily daily yo unlock all of them .

        Oxy ya sure man , that's why is its still going on . i dont even know where you find these false facts . you do know youtube makes money with ads and its red service right?

          can someone explain to me how this is a good thing? eventually, you're going to run out of spirit stones if you follow even a few novels, since they range anywhere from 8-12 stones per chapter.

          you're either forced to make new accounts to get free 100 stones, pay for stones, or simply wait a few weeks while collecting your daily check-ins, just to read.

            Fenixrock You can still read them after saving up enough Spirit Stone. I can just wait for the free chapters that takes 100 of years to unlock. :I

              Why don't you just make all of them premium so this poor guy can go back to the day before QI exist?!. This bullshit makes this poor guy missed WW so much, cos over there this poor guy can enjoy focus reading and only got angry, sad or joy from the novel stories, NOT from the money making scheme.

              Eh, I dislike such happenstances. I mean, I understand the need to strive as a business, but when I see a fckin 11 chapters to read and each coss 12 spirit stones each, and u get like 5 a day... makes some yelling.

                Im reading 38 novels ATM on Q. If all of them goes premium. Im litterly f'd. I can unlock around 5-10 chapters per day only lol.

                  Kyurem1337 its lucky to get more than 25 sometimes

                  BigBootyLover wtf lol daily free 30ss? no. i have never received 30, ever. the most i think was 13

                  Bare minimum: Normal check-in 7 SS, 2nd check-in from watching an ad 7 SS (mobile only), 2 votes and each vote gives 5 SS; Total 24 SS.

                  Max: 14 SS per check-in + 10 from the votes; Total: 38

                  Oxy Comparing web novels to published books is meaningless. They are very different. The quality is significantly lower in general (not saying all, many surpass a great deal of published books, and others are at levels where no publisher would accept it). Would be like saying that Spotify charging 1 dollar for every song heard is totally fine, because an album is way more expensive per song. Also, the amount of free stones only goes that far, a chapter takes less than 10 min to read even for a fairly slow reader, which means 20-30 min of free reading a day. While that does not "fine", it must be remembered what they are competing with here, which is free alternatives. For some people, they don't read more than half an hour a day, so all is good for them, but others who read a lot for whatever reason, it can quickly get expensive. Which is why I should a subscription option would be good to add upon the current system. I doubt many would say that the current "value" offered by Webnovel/Qidan is above services such as Netflix, so a monthly sub of 10 or 15 dollars for unlimited access seems fair. Chances are that it wont even have a negative impact on the money made for Qidan, as many just "sub and forget" to services. Adding options like a 12 month sub for a discount could make them earn even more. I would subscribe if it was an option, even if I won't actually reach the breaking point where it would be cheaper than just using spirit stones, just because i prefer services with exact pricing where I know exactly how much I am paying, and not these small constant micro transactions.

                    Knoweth that thy website's traffic wilt beest reduced more and more as thee lock more novels behind thy wretched greed for coin. I'll gaze thy Ads, but I wilt lower myself to payeth and feed thous greed.

                      As I already said I don't wonna have a dialog with brainwashed bird and QI bottom kisser so don't bother answering this or my other posts, I'll just ignore it. Everyone is already understood that premium plebs will defend their stupidity to the grave and any other is a leech for them. For those who upset to see his novels go into premium you have three choices 1) Bend yourself and feed a corporate machine with your money
                      2)Place novel on hiatus(delete from library but not history) untill a)premium is gone cause QI realize that it is will not work or b) there will be enough stockpiled chapters - This one is my pick - there are too many good free novel to read on NU so losing few titles for a year is not a big deal.
                      3)As someone mentioned already there are sites which ripoff premium chapters and post it for free, no links or names will be given cause I dont really support this way unless you do it to boycott ''premium program'' and still support those novels at least by voting for them daily(supporting on patreon is lost it cause for premium titles, yes it is still running but QI forbid premium titles to release chapters there).

                        I am all for compensating authors, translators, editors and webnovel.com -- they all do good work and deserve to be paid.

                        My only gripe, my very major gripe, is the amount of money that they are asking to be paid. I pay for Kindle Unlimited, and I have all the books that I could ever read, for $10 per month. Compare that to webnovel.com where I would spend at roughly that amount for each premium novel that I read. $10/month for one web novel vs $10/month for a library of complete books. Keep in mind that the web novel is not even complete and, at best, I might get 2 chapters per day.

                        Some may fairly point out that I have the option to not pay and read only free chapters. This is absolutely true. And this is exactly what will happen once my stock of free spirit stones has been fully depleted. I'm not here to complain so much as I am hoping that QI will better understand the market that they are in, and price their service accordingly.
