Wow this a long tread..... I mean it's not like im addicted because i only read in my spare time so im kind of neutral. Translating is their jobs so i guess they do need money. Premium gave me a chance to try the novels that are not premium. Well what i do is just read on gravity tales or WW or other translation sites And just pause and save up chapter and SS then i just binge read what chapter i have saved up. You do saved up a decent stock if you have a bunch of book in the library that you like "/

Please don't hate or roast me or this comment..... because if you do Just wow..... Wow xD

all i can say is, yep, we're fucked. no point on saying this is unfair or anything, this is bussines and the freebies are out. so all i can say it's bad luck. and i can't even buy power stones or any other shit, they don't have choices for my country, that's a pretty bad bussines model.

Heyun explain that again in english please, i didn't get the math.

Stop reading novel! You Should Be Studying!!

Miegoreng ik ik

Thanks god you don't know how much money I spend on Japanese manga. (99% hent*i tho)

NotADingo they do unlock but if u pay stone and u r ahead of most people (us poor people) then u have to wait until it gets to the chapter u stop and then after u get 1 free chapter per day im very patient hahaha and um doing that with the most expensive books and using whatever i have of stone with the books that dont charge that many stones

Venerable_spam that she said that is too much info to store for qidian to to give a free chapter per day from where you are in the novel and that's why they have to make it so the free chapter is global and not per person.

To that I replied that is not actually too much data because they only have to count how many chapters you unlocked on a novel and thrn take the global free chapter and sum up how many chapters you has unlocked to keep track of everybody individual free chapter with only adding a single variable. Not rocket science.

as for the example i can simplify the numbers but not much more to being easier to understand.

Here I will try:

So all novels unlock a chapter a day.

You can unlock more with SS but then you have to wait for free chapters to catch up before having more since free chapters are global.

To keep track individually instead of global without too much data as she said in the comment I quoted I solved the problem adding a sinple counter in the code that keep tracks of how many chapters you unlock with SS. So if you unlock three chapters you are three chapters ahead of the global free.

So there us no need keep a registry of every single user reading a novel to give then a free chapter from where they are locked but to simply keep the count of how many chapters you unlocked as for if you unlocked three chapters and the current global free is chapter 10 then if free chapter was individually tracked you would have been in chapter 13 that is 10 of global free plus three you unlocked so keeping individual track wouldn't be difficult as she has said and QI knows it since is like programming 101..

Why can't they just take spirit stones off and make so we need pay let's say 10$ or 20$ so we are member i'm not putting any cash those spirit stones i don't even wanna know how much it cost me so i can read those 50 chap Library of Heaven's Path if they not gonna start fixing this soon i think lot ppl gonna just change site.

Tugster Truly magnificent

I like what you did there ^_

YueZise This is what the English speaking community was worried about with the intervention of QI. They don't realize that Chinese and English speakers are fundamentally different. From what I've seen, in China, every page put out is usually paid for, or gotten via subscription. This 'non-paywall' Paywall, is going to murder the popularity of all of this in its infancy. I was stupid, and used my surplus of SS, to unlock a bunch of chapters in Library of Heavens Path, now, i can see 40 releases, but not a single one that i am able to read, because i paid in over a thousand SS, so now i have to wait more then two weeks (so far) to get a single chapter to read.

Morinu You clearly dont follow many novels and are not up to date on them then. I follow around 12 novels that are premium or ad-walled and I can basically spend $50 a month just to keep up with new releases. Also, the word count/chapter length is significantly smaller than you see in a typical book.

1 account get 17+ SS/Day
If you have 12 novel premium just create 12 account. Why pay 50$???

CKtalon really? If I remember correct every chapter for the kings avatar that has came out for the last 2 weeks I've paid for with spirit stones, I don't recall getting a free chapter a day this way. you get a free chapter if you have not used spiritstones at all. If you have, they just pile up the amount of chapters you need to purchase.

NotADingo I believe they are releasing chapters faster to encourage spending. Which means those chapters the translators are sitting on that have been translated get released enmass rather than at the prescribed rate as advertised. I've monitored premiums that released more than twenty chapters after they went premium almost the day after.

GeneticDisaster Exactly to the point. If these chapters contained a significant amount of content then the pay wall wouldn't be so bad, however many of these stories are shorter thus decreasing the overall value of the expenditure. I'm sure that many of the authors began writing in their spare time thus keeping their word counts short. However continuing to expect a higher wage for less content is nothing but ridiculous. If I worked part-time I would not expect to get paid full time wages.
