As a hall of fame member and one of the first to support QI, I fully agree with this step..

Truth to be told, reading novels is the majority of my free time.

anddd more novels dropped, real pity. Hope this business model makes you go bankrupt QI

Thank God It’s Wednesday???? pffffftttt.... hahah what happened to Friday? Or are you gonna mass release more Premium Novels on Wednesday and Friday?

RIP

RiP

Good thing I am sensible to not spend on you.
I rather give to the authors if they have a direct link on Qidian.

Bye bye to those novels. I really did enjoy them. Oh, well.

This is sad, i like LOHP but it seems that i have to drop 1 more

man..... i will miss reading LOPH. It was a good ride while it lasted >insert sad face gift here<

XeeLiao Fast paced, heavily voted novels

So read the slow updates and novels under top 20

HAHA

RIP power stones

XeeLiao seems so. Webnovel/Qidian/Tencent is a company and the sole purpose of a company is to net a gain. Right now Qidian doesn't seem to be netting a gain from QI, it seems like the first year of QI translating hella chapters was a move to build a reader base, just to test the waters and make sure translating would be well received. Seems like it's part two and they're trying to see if translating'll be able to bring in a substantial income. They've been paying translators for the past year and i dont think they've gotten much return as of yet, it's a sort of investment. If people start paying for the chapters it'll prove a return on their investment, if it's not widely accepted they'll probably just shut down webnovel

Qidian slowly becoming greedy after each update

honestly, i get why youre doing this. But like, can you find some other way for us to gain more spirit stones? like watching ads for spirt stones as well as chapters? The lack of options for getting spirit stones for free except for the daily roll and voting is making me miss chapters for novels, i went into my storage of stones just to read a few chapters a while ago. :( :(

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Two of mine going premium at once :scream:

Inute you can watch ads for ss on the mobile app :D

NewCultivator For what? Author dropped IRAS already(legal problems I believe), it is 400 chapters till sudden end If I'm remembering correctly.

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL oh oh oh! Even the authors are joining us here? Thats great, some fans would be extremely happy for sure!!

DarkDragonDon

for unlimited access, not just one novel.

Jusso IRAS?????

Millman97 must be quite a shock for you bro.. things will definitely get better, you can learn how to quickly adapt by learning from lin fan.

So with chapters costing 12 spirit stones for Library of Heaven's Path, they expect people to pay 24 cents for every chapter from now on (assuming 500 spirit stones for 10 USD, which it will be when "bonus" stones from purchase is gone). That is 1 dollar for 4 chapters worth of content. With just 1 chapter daily that is 7½ dollars a month, PER NOVEL. 15 dollars for 2 novels, which is the same as a netflix/spotify/wow sub/most other subs. This is damn expensive. I would have nothing against if there was a sub option for like 10/15 dollars a month (max) for unlimited access, but this is too much. Heaven's path alone with 14 chapters a week will cost 15 dollars a month to read. And it is not like I have a lot against spending moneys on my hobbies, I currently have 10k+ spirit stones, but this price is just too much. With it being that high, chances are way more people will be scared off and just go to other free alternatives. While the reading experience here is the best, going down on the quality and save 15 bucks a month will surely convince many.

Really? I like Release the Witch , Immortal Mortal and now you add LoHP to the premium? Well that's sad looks like i'll drop this one too and i'm pretty sure Paradise of Demonic Gods , True Martial World will be next in line for the premium

webnovel_ancestor Yeah, long time ago at that, just that translator doesn't seem to announce that(at least at the TL notes would be great), just go check iras on NU at first it was suspended than hiatus at 1695 chapters, and author left a note that he will just start new novel, and Iras wont get any ending.

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL
I thought the guy on the right was the one speaking Chinese...

But mr.ceo is not even in top 20. Are novels not in power rankings at risk now??

FUCK YOU

Welp, I dropped LoHP. My favorite novel, but I'm not paying you shit, in this world where dozens of other novels exist for free.

I'd be down for "Get chapters a week early", but I'm gonna drop any novel you put on the "Slowly build up more and more premium chapters until 95% of the book is premium only" system.

So seeing as now once you pay SS to read a premium novel you have to wait weeks or longer for those free unlocks to catch up to you, thus making it so premium readers get Zero free chapters a day; Could you please make it so that unlocked chapter(s) each day is the latest unread locked one, and not all those read ones?

It'll be bad once a few more months pass, and once you read a premium novel you'll have months and months without a single new chapter being unlocked for you.

as much as I like all those stories and want to support this site I simply can't do it like this

I will stop using this site, 1 chapter per day free is simply unacceptable, the mayor reason I am on here is because it is two a day

I would not have minded if all chapters have ads always or whatever, but to slow down the release speed if you don't pay is unacceptable

goodbye Quidan guess its only WWW from now one, I think you are going to completly kill yourselves with this move

All these people complaining lol, the price complaint is valid though, kudos to you

Fuhrer My main complaint is that you have to pay to keep up. If I spend real money to buy chapters, I should keep getting free chapters. Instead, I could buy 2 months worth of chapters and then have to wait 2 months for the free releases to catch up to me.

Krieze first it was the Release that witch, now putting more novel to the premium, i will not be surprise if all of their novel will be premium next time around.

Krazyguy75 That does seem to be a real problem, hopefully Webnovel/Qidian will come up with a good solution for it. For now we just need to keep our Premium subscribed novels to one or two, that can still be done for $5-10 a month. Just wait for the others to release to free.

Still hoping they adjust the unlock system so we don't have to wait for free chapters to catch up when we decide to take a break from Premium or switch Premium novels.

Krazyguy75 i like LoHP too sad

yuri316 same think here

WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Oh my god that video is absolutely horrid. The translator absolutely sucks. Why didn't you guys just do subtitles? Well at least this is expected from a company who can't hire a native English speaker to speak to a majority English community.
