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

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.

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.

ShouldBeStudying tu forma de pensar solo creara la espiral desendente de donde no hay vuelta atras .ya a pasado y volvera a pasar los seres humanos son codiciosos esta en su naturaleza pero tambien esta en su naturaleza auto destruirse.

Heyunwell yeah you're right, but i do no not ask for daily free chapter. even i don't have that much free time since i'm in collgue and i'm pretty sure most people need to earn money so, i asking only why there's no a weekly chapter kinda thing?

kaiser1979 you are too pessimistic. Slow progress is made actually, not because of an improvement in human nature but an improvement in technology. Like internet for almost free etc

Chr100 you respond with that kind of shit, pretty clearly demonstrating you are the one who needs to grow up...

Detro as someone who has worked in data handling, it isn't something complicated, even in the scenario set up here. logic goes as such:
On chapter release:
if (user_progress > free_progress) then (when free_chapter +1, do user_chapter +1)
its probably just removing a flag they already have present and remove when you pay.

Venerable_spam with no credit card/paypal or even prepaid debit cards you must have a hard time online. (granted idk what country you are from, there may be a lot of other options there, but I don't know of many that are broadly accepted)

ApatheticSlurpee And you care. Thats a sign you need to get your shit together.
