I've been using this app for a number of years now. I've checked in everyday, and still lost my streak repeatedly. Over the years of reading on here I've started so many novels, and now I'm slowly coming to the realization I may not be able to finish any of them at this point. Every novel takes coins, or free passes to continue. I have the membership, I check in everyday, and I buy coins. I've referred countless people over the years, and still can't read all the chapters I would like to read. It's to the point now I would rather pay a higher monthly fee to not have to worry about it. There had to be something that can be done to at least give you more options to read chapters. I feel people would rather watch an ad before chapters than have to keep paying to get screwed. Then the privilege program isn't really the best. Authors skip chapters, you can pay for the max chapters and then the translation can just stop. Building the ultimate fantasy is a perfect example of this. I bought the privilege, and then the novel stopped. No reimbursement. I find myself refraining from even starting new novels here due to this. I've been reading more elsewhere.
I don't think I can afford to read...
Daoist_DarkMoon I believe they have done that kind of membership before but it did not work out as they intended and they had to stop it.
As for ads, ad revenue has declined across the board for years now. The value of one person viewing an ad is likely about 1% of a single coin, maybe less.

This is an unfortunate process in which there is not enough people paying. You wouldn’t like to work for 10% of the minimum wage, neither does a translator. This is a long term effect of alienating consumers and an ever increasing influx of new novels, spreading what market still remained even thinner.
People say non paying customers don’t have any rights to complain, so I am happy to see a paying customer sharing their experiences.
