ReverendDream24 a subscription base model where authors get paid by views.

Views are inflated by bots, also easy to abuse. I think a subscription model would be better, but definitely not based on views. Based on something else, but I'm not sure.

Also, I think completed books should just be unlocked at a discount rather than having to unlock a chapter one at a time. I think someone mentioned there was already a model like that, but I can't find any info on it.

But why should they discount completed books? They make more money doing the opposite.
Their target was always more money, even when lowering it in a short term will bring drastically more benefits long term.

Goodbye, Webnovel. I'm not recommending your site to anyone anymore.

i agree
,

I like to read free partly, so I know if it's good or not. Forcing us to use mobile phone.. whats the point, I like to read from computer.

ReverendDream24 Just add that WN's chapter charging system causes authors to indefinitely lengthen their popular works which makes them lose any hint of quality.

Bleed_the_gods I mean from a customer point of view. Was trying to help consumers save money and benefit more. A business is nothing without its customers.

I vastly prefer fast passes being on the website instead of the app, my vision is slowly getting worse and using the app on my phone is brutal.

For the time being I have been able to use the app on an android emulator (bluestacks) to get fast passes there. It is less convenient than just being able to do everything in the browser but it is an option for anyone who wants to stay on the site and stick with their computer. You can get the fast passes on the mobile app and then use them in the browser.

Exactly! In a long term scenario, that would make them benefit more. However, webnovel doesn't know about long term benefits. It only cares for the present. As for customers? Qidian.
That said, it is an excellent idea. It is just that webnovel is never going to use it.
