Zyxwab *Comment on WuxiaWorld and NovelUpdates (both in PC VERSION)

*WuxiaWorld - "Account not found or does not exist". Took me three times to register and none of my active G-mails worked. Hassle.
*Novel Updates - "Account does not found in the database" What!? Took me four to five times to sign-in my accounts (I was forced to create other because of this warning sign) Hassle too,

    thank you webnovel for applying this change, i have severe addiction of reading web novels for past 6-7 years, i really wanted to quit it for past 1-2 years but couldnt as you know how addiction works!! but now i think i am becoming sober, i have not had cravings for past week, I hope to become clean, thank you

    [unknown] meh. WN was running on a freemium business model, where you lure people in with a few free chapters, then they have to pay to read more. And the profits per "chapter" are ridiculous compared to what an actual publishing house makes. If they couldn't make enough profit with that, it's because they got greedy. So they will keep squeezing to extract more from their readers and let's see where that takes them.

    [unknown] If piratesites don't get new chapters i recommend MTL sites such comrademao or wnmtl, wnmtl is better. MTL take some effort to understand but better than WB robbery.

      [unknown] The same code change that stopped your fast passes also stopped the pirates from being able to download the chapters, so... good luck with that.

      [unknown] Authors don't make money from fast passes. Webnovel don't make money from fastpasses.

      Without income, authors can't write because they have to have other jobs.

      I'm curious if you would be willing to work for free, or think that I should work the 60 hours per week that I do for giggles?

        Harry potter book 35 dollars, a book here is hundred to thousands and it not yours you are leasing it.
        yeah authors needs money but the company Webnovel gets 50% to 70% of the earnings
        Its not a good deal and the company usually does things to screw the customer.
        The defenders of every thing Webnovel does uses the authors as excuse because they dont want to think more profundly

        Darth_Xiane Idk bout you but having around 60% of the people that read a novel suddenly drop it because webnovel took away fast passes is a fuckin massive blow to the authors. Not only do the authors lose most of the readers but new readers wont stick around so the author ends up writing this god level novel and nobody knows about it cause its no longer getting any power stones or anything. Most of the novels on the site are quite literally just going to vanish off the face of the earth since they arent getting any readers and all 15 people that pay to read a novel sure as hell arent gonna be giving enough attention to the authors in order to keep them motivated or popular.

        In short, the webnovel completely fucked over their authors, because believe me, there are many readers who will just move on to pirate sites etc.

          AimeeLynn I dont think u realize how economy work. Have u ever see the argument that said:" People who play pirated games are making corporations losing their money" ?. You can not loose sth you do not own. In fact, pirate gamers may promote that corporate products if they ever see the pirated games they are playing is good. You lost 1 potential customers and you gain, let assume this is an optimal situation, 10 more potential customers due to the gamer promotions. The pirated gamers can also buy the game if after they play the game and they deem this is a worthy product to buy, and they would like to support the game developers. Same situation with WN, if people who can watch a part of the novels for free and they deem it as a great novel to read, they will potentially buy chapters and support authors.

          The point is, you need potential customers to get money because potential customers will potentially buy your products. Imagine if you have 10 millions potential customers, and only 10% of them willing to spend 10 bucks, men that is 1m dollar for a mere novel. Now you are sayin' that they (authors) don't have income? Well, maybe yes authors could don't have income if WN eat all of the percentage 😃.

            Literally everyone and their mother has phones, just download the app, it is as simple as that. Whining about it wont change anything, and nobody is actually going to miss you. Free readers were never going to pay anyways to beign with, that they read in pirated sites or not doesnt affect us at all, the ads you watched for free passes were sent directly to webnovel without being given to us, the authors and pillars of this entire site, so therefore, you were never helping us in any shape or form. From the very beginning Webnovel is a novel store, we offer you free chapters so you can test the story and decide if you either want to spend money or not. Also, for these arguing over getting better value by buying ebooks on amazon kindle or something, you know that you're buying volumes, right? a volume in amazon coss like 5 bucks but yeah, its barely like 20k words, whihc you can also purhcase using almost the same amount of money in Webnovel. Webnovels have several hundreds if not thousands of chapters, which means they're worth several volumes. Anyone that has purchased many volumes of a series has already spent a few hundred on them all, especially those that go for over 5 volumes or more. All your arguments are very stupid, just grow up a little and become more considerate over those that work to maitnain this whole site, you're literally asking for free entertainment and getting mad because we want to sell our products. Childish idiots, nobody cares about you.

              omleagueboy2000 all they're doing is forcing people to pirate. No one sane pays for WN's stuff because it's a recurring payment to rent the rights to see something. You pay 15+ dollars, unlock 20ish chapters, and then every single month thereafter you have to pay the same absurdly high price to not lose what you originally paid for. Every month after the first you are literally paying to give a pittance to an author and an absurd amount to WN for literally nothing. You get nothing new, and if you don't pay you actually lose chapter access, to the point it's as if you'd never paid at all, because it's a zero sum game.

              So your telling me, if I no longer renew my subscription. all the coins I PAID for and used to unlock chapters are no longer accessible to me?!! are you serious!! bloody hell!

                For me am in the middle I can pay for so some books but there's too many books that I am currently following for me to pay for all of it. I use my laptop to read because I don't like reading on my phone like most pc readers and I don't like the point system forced on me with no warning and unable to use the points. And for the buying part coins can be different with some novels like for example villain retirement costs 9 coins and your Epic of Ice Dragon(great book BTW) costs 6 coins, A book that I follow on royal road primal hunter released a book in amazon which had 73 chapters and costs 4.99 if assuming he releases 8 books each having 73 chapters you will have to pay 20.00 for 584 chapters and if you pay 20.00 for a coin pack you get up to 111 chapters from villain retirement(may be a little more or less because for some reason some chapters costs more than others). I feel like they ruined WN for free pc users so I would prefer if they switched back the system of 3 fast passes daily.

                  Seems to be an anti-pirate measure but as always, it is just punishing legitimate readers, just checked some pirate novel sites and they are completely up to date with the non-priviledge chapters rofl.
