So before saying this I would like to ask the question of how everyone feels about the changes now that we know they probably are not scrambling to revert the changes and that authors are now switching sites? As from my view this is the final straw in the decline of a once good site, starting with pay walls and ads and locks now to effectively shutting down the website and pulling the metaphorical trigger killing their non mobile user base, With this being said I and many other users are probably thinking its time to make the switch to other sites to follow our favorite authors. So here are a few sites for authors and users alike wanting to switch
Scribble hub (the one I'm switching to): pretty solid, has lots of user features and no pay walls from what I have seen from the few books I have read on it. It may not be as user friendly in the terms of searching initially but once you get the tag you want its great.
Fanfiction.net: its okay, does not have the best search function but has categories and communities but you also have to get through all the not so good and down right appalling fanfics to get to the good ones.
Wattpad: fairly good with good searchability, but is currently dominated by irl inserts and decent stories but like the others most stories had good writing quality.
Royal road: I have not used it much but from what I have seen searching through it is a little tedious but it has been around for a while and has not made any effort to get money from it's users along with having good stories so far

    This is sad, for webnovel does not know that the majority of its readers are PC based and do not like the app stuff and for them to do this is the nail on the coffin for this site. I have no idea, even if they undo this, they will lose a lot an if they do not undo this, this site will die and the others will rise.

    my good friends, the lady on online service said this to me:
    we can submit a request for special access on your Webnovel account so you can read thru the website.

    May we have this information please?
    UserID:
    Username:
    Email address:
    this is to read from the pc

      Raume will serve? answer later when you do bro because I don't want to lose all the good novels just because I can't translate them

        Juan_Garay_0225 after the think that she ask me , she said this:

        However, you still need to download the App so you can still have options to do tasks and missions for rewards as these will not be available in the Website. Furthermore, we will notify you on the app once access is granted.

        so im here just waiting hahaha

          Raume bruh, why the heck reader should go roundabout way!? Arent those information already submitted during register long ago?

            asssssshhole what they think is that they will do a double check, in the app or with a code

            Pregunte donde me dan la respuesta me dijeron esto:
            Thank you. We will forward the information provided to the designated team for review, and resolution. Please be reminded that you still need to download, or use the App for other options such as doing tasks and participate in missions for rewards, as these are not accessible in the Website. Kindly wait for feedback in the email address provided in 2-3 business days for access grant.

              Forcefull App recruitment for Webnovel ..... Either quit read or switch to App....
              Might as well change name from Webnovel to Appnovel as anyways going to drop Webnovel for Appnovel or so...

              Technically only the fanfics are not blocked anymore when u go to novels you find the same download the app thing

                What was happening? I don't get it. I just entered the forum for like ages now. What's going on. I'm seeing lot of stuffs about Webnovel

                  Favyhm23 sorry if this is too late but let me answer u. Basically webnovel blocked reading chapters on the website letting us read only the first 10 from each novel or fanfic before making it mandatory to download the app and read there if u want to read anything anymore, so obviously all the non english speakers ( because the app doesn't have a translation function) and the pc users hated this and were very angry. This led to complaints and more complaints then people started giving the app 1star ratings and leaving webnovel for other sites like fanfiction.net _ archive of our own _ spacebattles _ sufficientvelocity _ scribblehub ... This morning we found out that the fanfics section and the unlocked chapters in the novels section can be read again. So YAAY

                    Raume Raume Thank you for the information, but at this point, I will probably delete my account and take a loss on the few coins I have. It is not worth the trouble. Other sites offer similar stories. The authors here will definitely lose money, as FANS cannot purchase chapters/bundle chapters without the app. Here is my complaint:

                    In the last several days, Webnovel has been forcing FANS to download ITS Webnovel APP for all devices (laptops, readers, IOS...etc.). When I first discovered this site, it was optional; now, to continue to read, I am forced to download an APP I don't need or want.
                    I was able to pay per chapter and purchase chapters in "Bundles." These options are completely removed, so to continue reading or even pay for chapters "FANS," have no choice but to download the APP. As a FAN, I feel greatly disappointed in this decision, whether by the authors or upper management, to force its FAN BASE to download its app just to read. Not only will the authors lose out on revenue, but fans like myself will go elsewhere for their enjoyment.
                    ==Note: After reading the few free chapters, I will be removing stories from my library since I am unable to purchase chapters. I do not see a reason to keep it. I will also be posting this complaint in other books to show my displeasure.

                        ominon I did not realize non english speakers would mtl on this. I was scratching my head puzzingly since I can read novels, looks like I'm late too the party now that it has been solved lol.

                        Personally, I think the problem is solvable. Just do the same thing Faloo does, no one can copy/paste and people can still read works. MTLNation also had that function at first but took it off because its dumb to not to be able to copy/paste in it.
                        I wish WN was more focused on their website, its worrying because we know nothing
