So I noticed that a lot of new novels have been getting dropped one of these is a novel that was reading myself and I found this odd. All new novels are voted for and the novel I was reading did seem quite popular, but it was still dropped and the translator told us it was cause of revenue issues.

I noticed that with fast passes you can basically keep up to date with a novels daily releases just by the fast passes you can earn daily. You get three passes a day which means you can basically unlock three chapters a day this makes it possible for a reader to keep up with 1-3 novels for free if they have a daily release rate of 1-3 chapters. This would stop the novels from generating their expected income and result in them being dropped.

I like the fast passes, but feel they really should be balanced better as novels that clearly won in the voting pool are being dropped cause they are not earning enough money, but part of the reason why is that the web novel system allows readers to exploit fast passes to read new novels for free.

I think that fast passes need to be limited by how many you can use for a certain amount of time per a novel and also can't be used on the latest released chapters before a set time. For example you can only say use 10 fast passes per a month on the same novel and you can't use fast passes on chapters till a week after they have been released.

Just a suggesting, but think it is worth considering as web novel as like me I have seen a lot of people complaining about the new webnovels getting dropped and doesn't seem to be cause they weren't popular.

    If webnovel does this, then most people would switch to other sites.
    I like Fast Passes like how they curently are, and I get to use up my FP.
    If you realy want to continue reading a droped translation you can go to m.t.l. novel. While the quality is worse then the translations here on WN, and the same things get translated differently sometimes, you get to know the Story.

      m.t.l is just bad and hurts my head to read when I tried it. Also you are proving my point you would still be able to use your fast past just that webnovel would get its income from the novel. If you really want to read it for free then you would just need to wait till you can use fast passes on it.

          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!

              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

                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.

                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.
