Shaq_Fu that's funny. Nevertheless, I do understand that if your tier is taking quite a big sum there. I think they just need to notify their reader for the next month if they want to focus on the other books, instead of immediately breaking the chapters.
Ary_Yulianto sure i dont mind a month or 5. But when it takes a year then no. And if the story is droped, or the author stoped updating period, that is also fine. But when the author has three other storues that they update regularly bc of an event, or a small increase in popularty then thats not ok. When the author privlage is 4000 coins, and they update 2 chapters a month, and one of those chapters on the 1st or 2nd of the month, then its clear its about money. Add to all that the author doesnot make any statment regarding his plan for the story, then am sure u can see my point.
Shaq_Fu I am also one who for my first privilege was for Dual Cultivation. I thought 4000 coins was going to be a permanent thing since it was = to buying 4 full LN in paper back.. Imagine my surprise when I found out this author expects that Monthly. Then I decided to not spend that much on one story, then it took 6-8 months for the story to catch up the 50 chapters. Basically I think for an author to maintain privilege they have to write the same number of chapters as their highest tier they offer. So for MLB his 50 chapters he has to write minimum 50 chapters, if he can't then each month it drops by 10 chapters and automatically 10 chapters that were privilege are released. If the author doesn't want to write the story not much we can do, but they should not be able to use the privilege system if they aren't actively fulfilling the Privilege quota.
Chris_Gill agreed, that sounds fair to start, 4000 is too much for the current setuation. But also there needs to be more penalty. I was reading Dual Cultivation b4 his update rate became so low. So i bought at least 5 months of privelage worth of content, assuming he would continue with the story. So i spent around 300$ just on privelage to get an incomplete story, and find out he is ignoring this same story that gave his other stories popularty. I made an investment in an author, who sold me an incomplete product, and is doing other things. I dont think thats fair. Thats why they need to be penalized. Again not all if them, but those that just stop half way and move on to other stories, for whatever reason. If they stoped , or got sick or whatever i understand. But if the story got a little less popular than thier other stories, no. They have a responsabilty to the ppl that invested in them.
Shaq_Fu I didn't think of it that way as i guess I have accepted 60-70% of the stories on this site will never see their end, but I agree with you as well as as so many people put that much $$$ into a story and it just sits and stagnates. Feels like a Go Fund Me that will most likely never be done with no return on investment.
Chris_Gill true, with sone stories or authirs its fine, some dont even get to privlage or are free, or cost very little like 1 or 2 coins per chapter. But fir authors like MLB who charge upwards of 3k and 4k for privelage early on, and u stay with them for 1k+ chapters, then they fet another hit which he has 3, and just drop stories after u invested months of privlafe, and gifted him some gifts after tine, it realky adds up.
Lu_Shui so what ur saying is, bc i have typos my points r invaled, and am talking rubish. And the u chose to put ur work out there for ppl, on a site that allowes comments, and u need protection from them. Plz what type of protection do u need, plz pray tell. R u losing money bc u chose to write a story? On the other hand yes i chose to read a storry in progress so as i saud i understand scertin setuation would porhibit it from being finish, byt not the setuation am talking about. But clearly u r baist, and chose not to comment on my points, and thro shade at my typos or language, english isnt my first langauge or my 2nd for that matter. But u ignored all that, and made a comment that has nothing to do with tge post. Plz add something constractive, wheather u agree or not, instead of bbeing a baiast trol just bc u belong to a scertin group. Thanx.
Lu_Shui amazing how u come here, thro shade, then act like ur taking the high ground. Thanx for giving us a an idea of how authors like u think so little of the ppl that r supporting thier work. We r correctly r paying for a product, so we expect a complete one, whats wrong with that. But a lot of us also do it to support these authors, we send gifts, and tickets and stones to our favoret ones, to support them mirrally and financially. Yet authors like u think its thier right, thanx ill remember ur name, and belive me ill use it as a warrning not to read any of ur work. Bc i dont support hypivrates and entitled brats.
. Also i didnt know u could do that lol.
