DarkShadowBlaze Lol, this is the first time I've seen people raising a complaint about fast passes unlocking too many chapters :joy: back in the days they were all complaints about fast passes not being enough to satisfy free reading habits haha
Anyways, nice points!
DarkShadowBlaze Readers like you are rare.
But, that is why WN has put the privilege system, I think. You can only use coins to read privilege chapters.
yaoyueyi I complained ages ago about fast passes being able to unlock more than what they replaced. Although not to this extent...
I still like the previous free coins over fast passes, but they should just make it so free coins are a different currency that can't be used for gifting, privilege, or privilege chapters. And at the old rate of 15 coins per day, it's only enough for 1.2 chapters of a comic and 2.5 of the shortest chapters of a novel (after fast passes were implemented). It doesn't penalize authors for writing longer chapters either.
A distinction between free and paid coins would also fix the issue with the instagram free coins being exploited by bots as well.
I still think that their move to fast passes was wrong and they should have reverted back with some major tweaks to coins while people were still fond of free coins. It's a bit too late now.
Sigh....some readers forgot that Authors are humans too...they need money to buy foods to eat, pay electric bills, pay internet, pay monthly bills...computer maintenance...etcetera...so that they can continue writing your favorite stories...yet readers keeps using Fast Pass to many stories...and when Author's drop the novels that only earns cents per months....readers get's upset and angry...Where the hell can the poor Author finds the motivation to continue writing the novels everyday? when the story are not generating real money because readers uses Fast Pass and reads in pirates site?
Sad to say... some people are willing to buy cosmetics and other materials things to finance their addictions...yet when it comes to reading stories they want free! All free!
Here's the basic things...
Farmers produce rice and crops to sell so that they can continue living and producing more rice to the masses.
Fast food restaurants continue producing your favorite fried chicken, cheese burgers and delicious dishes in exchange of money.
People work in government, offices and others to earn money to sustain their living condition.
Everything works for money to earn a living.
The car won't start unless you buy a gasoline to fuel it. Am I right?
But when it comes to the Authors...people are not willing much to pay real cash for the Authors hard work and go to pirate site and when the story stops updating...they are complaining...upset and sad! Go figure!
SIGH...SIGH...SIGH...lol
I believe that it would be much better to use cheap subscription system, but for everyone.
While here i am still stuck on a 3 day wait for a fk pass, i know it's important and tough it is for an ordinary reader and author when it comes to generating income, i know it's very hard living this days in this troubled times and i know we have many differences in various aspects in our lives so i am not gonna rant or anything you expect nor react to this post.
I'm just gonna drink my coffee and wait till the trolls come.
DarkShadowBlaze It's not that bad, it just hurt sometimes.
Sollkiri For me it is every time I try and read mtl I just can't go long with it hurting and it only gets worse if I keep reading. One of the books I was reading was translated beside the last 30 or so chapters so I went to mtl read the last few chapters, but the headache I had afterwards was just a killer.
I would rather read good quality then bad.
Dwarkin I wouldn't mind subscription base I feel that webnovel really does need to change how they do things though cause as it stands they are losing a lot of income and we readers are losing a lot of great stories.
I can see your side but not everyone will want to buy coins or can't buy coins (kids,ect). everyone has their circumstance so it should be balanced maybe less free passes or something. I find reading nice it passes time but when I was a kid it was harder getting what I wanted to read.
I thought my idea of limiting fast passes used on the same novel per a month and making it so they can't use them on chapters that aren't a week old was pretty good. The way I see it they will still be able to read for free if they wait and those who don't want to wait can pay with coins to read in advance. It's not fully preventing them from reading, for free but it is preventing them from exploiting them too much and giving readers more incentive to buy and use coins more. The main problem I have is that novels are being dropped cause they aren't getting enough revenue.
