Considering this thread was posted nearly a day ago and with the amount of money pumped into the company youd think at least 1 administrator or representative would clarify such a substantial implication, personally I'm a premium user for certain novels but that is a minority many I read for free and if they become premium with how ss are priced and the sheer number and the commitment required for some books I would be looking at near £200 to read one whole book and that is something many people surely cannot afford to be spending

    Lol, £200 will be cheap! Some of the novels will run that much annually. If you are paying to read 7-8 Premium novels it could run you £75-100 Monthly! That's factoring in the free SS which lets you read 2-3 Premium chapters daily.

        Yes indeed. I also don't like some practises here but I am just a mere mortal. What can I do except to pray for good translations.
        And I would also say that there should be market research no? I mean, one there should be obvious differentiating novel qualities and two, maybe known household names from Mother China to look out for.

          a month later

          No, u see AGM , STRONGEST SYSTEM, WAR SOVERIGN, LIBRARY H.P, AND ETC. Since 2 days ago, their locked chapter still locked till now. Usually it will open 1chapter/ day but now? Really shiit wtf is this. This fcking policy shitttt

            some premium chapters cost 12-13 SS to unlock, if they translate 15 chapters per week that will be 60 chapters per month and that costs 720 SS to unlock, so in 2 months you will be spending $25 on a mere 120 chapters in a single novel!! you can imagine how outrageously expensive it will be if you were reading multiple novels.

            Mere mortal like me just can persevere with unlocking a chapter per my daily SS.
            patien is the way.

            This problem is seriously messing up my life..... ;( ;( ;(

            If you check your book of answers u will see that the daily unlocking mechanism has been removed so no free daily chapters anymore.

            I'm done, deleting webnovel app. I'm still continue reading through website. Bye app.

            I'd be more fine with it if they added the ads for spirit stones to the pc website instead of just mobile.

            They already did 4 days ago. At least that when updates on strongest systen, stronges gene, it´s not easy to be a man after travelling in the future, etc etc stopped coming.
            the funny thing is, that they still put Add on premium content. Chinese are the most shameless capitalist in the world xD

                You guys sound like losers. & the way ur talking about Qidian is like children secretly cursing their moms cuz they didnt get chocolate xD. Its been a long time that i used that unlock mechanism, & lotsa other novels didnt have them for a long time. Why're you crying over only 2 unknown novels xD.

                  The problem (at least for me) is not that they stopped free chapters for premium novels, as it was blatant that they came to the international market because there saw that there was money to make here and publishing is a business.
                  The problem is that it is only the last of a long string of unanounced policy change, each more and more inconvenient to the casual reader, who what they will do next. That's not the behavior of a company that want to create a respected brand in a new market, building trust in its new consumer base.
                  One of their big argument when they started this website was that they are professionals and will bring better standards. But their "standards" seems to be acting like those greedy and overbearing "young masters" that you can find in nearly all of their novels, and there only so much slaps in the face this reader will accept, so goodbye I no longer have any trust in Quidan and their webnovel.com website.
