Heago hi shill.
I never knew we dont even have the right to say fuck it and stop using a service that is not satisfying to us nowadays a.k.a make a vote through our own buying power.
Yes, individually it's tiny but I'm sure I don't have teach a well connected shill like yourself all that jazz about how every little bit counts or whatever. I mean, stopping people from leaving by being a sanctimonious jackass seems to be your job, so I'm sure you already know the mechanics.
CreamPuffDelights what's shill? That's first time I heard?
I cleaned my library in Qidian. Only left 2 novels. One I'm currently paying to read and the other one is still free. My issue is with the expiring SS. Once I used the ones I paid for I may not purchase anymore and if I do, I won't read over priced novels, I will not pay more than 4 SS. Also what would happen once you finish reading/paying it, is it still gonna be available to me? Will it be taking out once is not popular anymore? I don't know if I'll continue to pay to read online because of this questions. I mean, who warranties that the sites will still be running and what's gonna happened to the novels I paid for?
Merciless Your name suits you......!!
And as a free reader I would say my ideal is Jack Sparrow... I follow his path, but sometimes even Jack Sparrow had to mingle with these common rich folks to make some connections.
Goodbye and it's understandable why you leave, i've had the same thoughts for a while. QI/WW/GT is under the impression that they can get the same rate as a hard copy book that is fully translated (number of $ pr. word). Which will never work in the long run (in my eyes). As soon as the kids who use their parents credit card grows up and have to pay for themselves stops reading, the buisness/(business?) naturally stops as well. 90% of readers/gamers/movie watchers wants to support whatever they take fancy to, but it have to be affordable. 50-60$ for a few "extra" chapters is simply to much for a few minutes of entertainment
Sigh. I know the feel when “premium” translators are not releasing chapters... Mr. CEO love me 100% currently has 135 chapters behind the SS wall 
Lol attention seeker
CreamPuffDelights Not defending anyone here, but just being realistic. In this day and age, for big companies like Qi and EA, voting with your feet don't matter at all. Do you see EA stopping their ridiculous microtransactions even tho so many complain about it? Nope... Why? Because as many as there are people crying about it, there are also people just buying it without making a noise, which is somehow enough for EA to earn more than the games actual price...
Only time will tell if Qi will be successful, but since they seem to be insisting on the current model, they must at least be making some profit. Since i don't believe a company can work for a loss for a whole year. There is investment, and then there is foolishness. No company would work for a loss for such a long time...
UnhingedTaboo Another idiot.
lazyDaoist Idiot. Big idiot u r. Srsly
N0xiety Cough.... Battlefront II fiasco.... cough....!! 3.8billion dollors loss(or 8.comething percent of share price drop)... cough.. cough....
That event has shaken the gaming community and even the Shadow of War is taking away microtransactions away and restructuring the loot mechanic in-game.... P.S. we also have Metal Gear Survive, and the little fucker died even though it had great reviews(no one buying it...)
But then there are games like the upcoming Black Ops IIII, which for some stupid reason has jumped on Battleroyal bandwagon ignoring the story mode(which will come as a DLC in the future update for sure) and also having Overwatch type gameplay in it....!! this world is stupid.....
But people can still change things..... and BlackOps IIII will be the new Battlefront of 2018....!!
YukiBoi sigh...... how did you know I was an idiot??.... I tried soo hard to hide it away...!!
Not sure why they aren't going subscription based instead of this micro transaction route. Reading a web novel is a long term thing because of staggered chapter releases. Anyone who's smart is just going to wait for the chapters to become free or just use their daily free spirit coins instead. However with a subcription model similar to how most patreon work (ie latest couple chapters locked unless you pay) you'd have way more people willing to shell out.
Pwentt Because thsi model nets them more short term profit. And even if Chinese novels portrayal of Chinese business men tend to be a bit exaggerated, as a Chinese, albeit one that moved to Australia when i was younger, the portrayal is not wrong at all. A lot of them don't give half a shit about long term profit, all they want is results, regardless of whether it'll screw up the market or not. Tencent especially has a terrible reputation for this, but not very well known since they suppressed a lot of the articles. You read about it in this novels, but it's really not a joke in real life.
Tencent cares about short term profit instead of long term profit, to become global top 10 company?
QI's model is based on qidian's model which is quite successful, why change something when it is already proven to work?
1 chapter per day is good enough.
Why demand so much.
This is a company not charity.
I haven't read any premium novels in weeks because I made the mistake of supporting this website and now I have to pay even more money while the chapters I paid to read backlog clears into becoming free.
It's an insane system. You'd have to be insane to implement the current one instead of the far more reasonable and logical "buy chapters and new chapters release from your most recent one" that just seems like common sense.
I guess qidian is trying to get the addicts and whales.
