A lot of novels in Qidian is premiun right now. At first i didnt really care about these but recently a lot of my favourite Novels turn to premiun. I can deal with it, if the novel only require 6-8 SS. but 12-17 SS. That just OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can someone tell me the reason for these "ACTIONS" aside from "EARNING MONEY" and "MORE CHAPTERS PER DAY"?

PS:I didnt say to stop doing these cause i know it how hard a translator work to earn, but please reduce the SS require to read new chapters

    AGM gonna be premium at march 21. Confirm by the translator and my hearts bleeding.

    Now imagine that the novel you read have a 100 locked chapters(P.S. Immortal Mortal)

      Well they should've just released the chapters like they normally did in the past. Just add more extra chapters in the premium category (T_T)blood tears**My AGM sinking in the abyss. That way free readers and premium readers will both be happy and there will be no more complaints i guess.

        Their premium Scheme isnt really a problem, I thinks its a fantastic idea to better reward translators/editors and perhaps improve release rates. The one thing that's dragging it down though is the fact that some chapters are requiring almost triple the amount of SS.

          Oxy It doesnt matter how their calculated. When people were using 4 ss to unlock chapter are now having to fork out 8-14, its going to rub people the wrong way.

              SnowFlakey i just hope that the lock on that chapter will be removed after a few weeks this way new readers will still be able to read it. and wont be discouraged

                Axzile I too am not happy about it. But the thing is if it is based on the length of the chapter then that is okay but make the number of chapters given in premium a little less. Currently I read 3 novels which are in premium program "Library of the Heaven's Path", "The Strongest System", "Super God Gene". I am frustrated to find 16+ chapters in premium just sitting there. Although it may improve the income the readers will lose interest in reading daily. If the story is not having an intense session then the readers will feel that it is better to reserve the spirit stones when reading some interesting chapters like climax of an arc etc. If the number of premium chapters is 6-10 and with earliest 2 chapters being unlocked either using ss or via ad is better than the current one.

                  Anyone know after how many chapters would the chapters be unlocked after AGM goes premium?

                    premium novels are now dominating until all the novel require SS to read there will be no more good novel to read for free. slowly but surely every novel will go premium

                    I stopped reading Release that witch after the ads were removed >.<;;; and pretty much for most good reds in the site ... sad .... cant really buy premium since i'm just a casual reader and doesn't have a good income ....

                    The previous cost of 4 SS/novel is because it is not on a premium list, and thus just an advanced free chapter.
                    Now that if a novel goes on premium, the cost to unlock depends on the word count per chapter. 1 SS/ 200 words.

                    @iPandas well, to lessen your sorrow, you should try reddit, or google, or reddit, or 9gag, or reddit or whatever is your another source of :wink: entertainment, and be happy. maybe type 'qidian' or something on maybe reddit or google or reddit.

                    Nah, that's pretty much all the reason, beside the 'more chapters per day' of course. The number of chapter they released still the same, it's just half of them became premium only.

                    I also agree with you, but unless they recruit more TL & Editor, which in fact would raise the 'production' cost and make the premium cost more expensive, that's not gonna happen.

                              GregLuck I really wish there is a report function. @CKtalon this dude is promoting third party sites to pirate from QI.
