It's interesting to see that no one from qidian has shared their views on what people have been trying to convey to them. I also believe that having paid reviews is unfair and unethical. On the other hand, I also want them to do a mass release for a novel I like.

I am hoping that qidian does take a note from this and comes up with a solution of some kind for future at least.

    The worst part about this is that even if your fans do this, you will still charge spirit stones for the chapters, so it isn't 150 free chapters in the best case, but possibly about 500 spirit stones, from your premium users. Since you won't give the newest chapters out free, even in this case

    Timeimmortal I was just about to mention how there are crickets coming from webnovel concerning this issue. Lol even though I did leave my review. They said they improved it so hopefully there will be less raping and more communication. I actually did like the book initially but after they continued to have the same communication issues over and over I just couldnt take it. Lol i dont do too well with suspense.

        LzyGmr Webnovel cannot modify the book. They cannot change the work of the original author. The book is originally Chinese, then Webnovel translated it. They cannot remove any content from it so the plot stays the same.

            QueenCL Well, the author could use our feedback to improve his novel for global readers. But if that's the case I'd really feel scammed, since that would mean, the QI readers are more like paying beta readers.

                For readers on QI, we only have access to the translated version and translators. Feedback for the author would have to be done on the Chinese website.
                Plus the original novel was completed a while ago even before the translated version reached half way.

                    QueenCL Maybe not even altered due to reader feedback, but maybe QI's opinion. A normal book also has to be accepted by the publisher and they may make suggestions to alter parts of the story. This is not feasible in an ongoing release, but now it's first version is finished. It has to be profesionally edited anyway, so changes prior to this wouldn't be surprising.

                        QueenCL well they said they improved it. So maybe they edited it to make it more feasible for book format

                            So... I'm guessing
                            1. QI will not be responding to any of the controversies/questions posed in this forum so everyone is left speculating and frustrated.
                            2. Mass release will not happen since Amazon seems to have taken action to block reviews due to said incident.
                            3. This whole thing will be left abandoned and ignored and possibly removed in the future

                            Sometimes I wish the team managing QI will post stuff on facebook or something to give users a heads up or get opinions on what they want to do, rather than just do it then ignore it when bad stuff happens. Also, they really need to hire someone who will respond to users instead of just letting things be with no updates whatsoever. It's not fair to the users and also for people who pay to read on the site. Service goes a long way QI...
                            Sorry, this was unrelated but I feel this needs to be said.

                            Guys, think about this first before you do this.

                            Amazon cracks down on incentivized reviews.

                            https://techcrunch.com/2016/11/23/amazon-made-good-on-its-promise-to-delete-incentivized-reviews/
                            https://xsellco.com/resources/amazon-ban-on-incentivized-reviews/

                            If you guys really want to go down this road, there is nothing good that will come out of it.

                            Just a fair warning from a concerned Webnovel User.

                            Really wanted a mass release on atleast one of the novels I am currently interested in.
                            -Superstars of tomorrow
                            -Its not easy to be a man.......
                            - Cultivation chat group
                            -Pursuing immortality

                              Even though it's still new, a mass release on Adorable Food Goddess ​would be nice. But, crossing my fingers for the 150 Hidden Marriage chapters!!! ( and hoping I will have enough spirit stones to read them all!!!)

                              QueenCL i also wish there will be a mass release for Evil emperor's wild consort too but yeah 150 chapters for HM is really good , i hope it at least reach 300 or better surpass it
