So basic example: Say a novel you are reading has 200 chapters but the last 20 are locked behind the energy stone wall, you are at chapter 180, every day a new chapter is released (201, then 202, etc.) and an older chapter is unlocked for free (181, then 182, etc would be free to read now).
You have 21 energy stones, and it costs 7 stones to unlock a new older chapter, a new day has started and chapter 181 is released. (7 stones to unlock chapter 182 before it becomes free the next day).
Here's the question: If you were to use your stones to unlock the next three chapters (182, 183, and 184), then would the following day either:
A ) chapter 185 is unlocked for free for you to read, aka you can still progress at reading one chapter a day for free. ( no "set back" in reading pace)
OR
B ) Chapter 182 is unlocked for everyone to read for free and you must wait another 3 days for chapter 185 to unlock for free to continue forward without spending any stones. ("Set back" of three days for reading rate to resume at one free chapter a day)
Please let me know if this question makes sense or if you need clarification.
Thank you.
