With this update, you not only killed the site, but also hit your reputation by forcibly taking readers away.
The update was extremely unforeseen since this application is based on the site, not vice versa. no matter how much money you have spent on its optimization, this does not make it more attractive to users, because the vast majority of people read novels on the Internet in view of their accessibility and diversity. you also push writers who want their content to be seen by as many readers as possible. After all, not everyone uses apps. and those who use it have long found their niche, because they don’t care about the variety and amount of content available to you.
I sincerely do not want to leave your site and this was the motive for the post.
This upgrade may be attractive to you only if you are planning to switch to the application completely abandoning the site and consequently reducing your own income.
People simply will not get used to and will not endure because:
1 there are many alternative sites with affordable translations
2 app is not as flexible as good old google
3 you don't have as many languages ​​as readers in different countries
4 even using your site as a database, people still won't download the application because it's more difficult than creating a layout with several sites and reading calmly and not jumping from one application to another.
5 even if now due to a large audience you have enough readers, then who said that in the future there will be more readers? after all, the writers themselves use applications only in rare cases.

      This is the reply webnovel sent:-

      Dear User,

      Thank you for contacting Webnovel Customer Support.

      We deeply apologize for any inconvenience. Primarily, Webnovel is a reading App platform that is why most functions and features are only available in the App. If you wish to use other functions like Text-to-Speech, getting more rewards for completing missions and unlock and read more chapters of the book you were reading, you can download and use the Webnovel app instead.

      We would like to inform you as well that using Webnovel App has more benefits than using website and mobile browser, like getting points rewards in reading novels. You will get 5 points for every 2 minutes of reading. The maximum daily limit is 300 points. That will be equivalent to 120 minutes of reading time daily. You can use Points to exchange it with Fast Pass in the Store page of the App, 1000 Points can be exchange with 1 Fast Pass.

      Webnovel has came up to this update to protect the rights and interests of the writers of our platform. We have implemented anti-theft measures against this and this limit most of the website's feature. Rest assured we will be taking note your feedback about this.

      If you have any other concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us again.

      Warmest regards,
      Team Webnovel

        Edward_Aster like I'll wait until tomorrow to see if they'll fix it or make an excuse, if they don't say anything about going back to how it was before, then I'm going to migrate to another site, because honestly 80% of the fanfictions here are all pirated (i.e. someone took it from another site and put it here), and the writers themselves will end up putting it on another site, because they want their work to reach as many people as possible, and this update kills them.
