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

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. :( :(

    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 7Β½ 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.

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