ReganDryke The add-watching is only available for the first year that a webnovel is being translated on this site. If they don't finish within that timeframe, you're screwed.

    First they don't give me my stones for a contest and now no free chapters :/ Anyone wants to like form a discord/line group or even a google drive folder so we can unlock different novels and share the chapters? Not sure if this is allowed but it should be fine if its private I guess?

    Honestly I’m so triggered now.

    I’ve been saving up my ss, as I wanted to binge read a novel titled “It’s not easy to be a man after travelling to the future”. I have saved up almost 200ss, because as soon as I heard that the novel is done, i would splurge and unlock the remaining chapters.

    I’m tilted. This novel is not the only novel I read. Currently I’m reading about 20 webnovels on Qidian alone, and this shit comes up? When they first put up a use ad to unlock chapter, I grumbled a bit but I adapted, and I thought, well isn’t it just a short 8 seconds for each chapter?

    When they set up a premium system for some popular novels, I was infuriated. But wait, I calmed down as they said they would still unlock a chapter a day for readers. Not too bad, and also not all novels were under this system.

    Then this, this shit happens?

    Qidian, I’m sorely dissapointed. Your readers are not wads of cash, we are actual human beings. Work is hard, and salaries are limited.

    Not even a simple a chapter a day for us?

    Even if the ads are not bringing in enough money, there is no need to block every reader behind a paywall. Wuxiaworld did not resort to such measures and they are still alive. Volarenovels too and many other translator sites. So what’s so special about you guys?

    Have you ever thought about the students or the unemployed? Do you not want to share to the world and spread the love for webnovels everywhere? To do this, you have to remember, not everyone has hundreds of dollars they are willing to spend on reading.

    Reading is a great hobby made horrible by people like you.

      TypeFantasyHeart all these shenanigans, will just make members migrate to other sites. I’ve been a reader since 2017 and still reading on Webnovel. I hope it stays that way but please Webnovel/QI, Get your act together!

        There really isn’t anything we can do if they change their business model can we? Everything free users see are all FREE

          itsmegiancarlo You can move. However, you still have free daily SS enough to read 1 premium book. If you are looking around. There were many non-premium originals. (Fair warning: They might get contracted and become premium novel).

            MasterRabbink Not really. You can earn a little over 30 free SS a day. So just on free, it would take about 380 days to have enough to unlocking of the completed novels here.

              From voting new novel and first power stone gift are ten stones, daily login, if you lucky twelve, bad luck seven.
              So, mostly twenty on me too

                yes it totaly imposible to use this site if even the daily lookout it's remove
                i beginning to lose all trust in them

                  i agree ss cost it's to much for the use
                  for that prise, i prefer to have an print version!

                  BlackHat Ooh, if we're doing this, I want Dingo of Death!
                  ...
                  I mean, I have to think of a name that reflects me better...

                    @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL have the free daily releases for locked premium novels really been removed? I’ve been checking Library of Heavens Path and The Strongest System but no new chapters hve been opened.

                    I hope this can be clarrified.

                    Thanks!

                      Jojo_b2 It seems so. I have been checking for the past two weeks or so and I haven't been receiving any more free daily chapters. Don't bother with asking their official account, they don't reply. Many a times they go silent, leaving us readers frustrated and exasperated.

                        I doubt they respect the users enough to even read this forum.

                          Jojo_b2 They specifically ignore any requests for information on this topic. Not a peep in over a month.

                          shitty move:( this is what everyone was affraid of when webnovels started. But they always promised 1 daily free chapter for every premium series. Afther i run out of my bought SS i'm out !

                          There are already a lot of webnovels that were released in private websites. I’m up to date with release the witch, night ranger and others. People would not do it if this sites are not soo greedy.

                            Last I heard it was because the authors wanted paywall so they earn more and didn’t know about WN policy of free unlock daily. I heard there was some sort of negotiation they’re going through? Maybe something legal they can’t talk about yet? an NDA sort of deal that they signed not to disclose information until negotiations are over? Dunno i’m giving WN the benefit of the doubt here.

                            As for reading it on fully unlocked sites... |cough| |cough| who’s doing that? Certainly not me! All of you should be ashamed of yourselves! |cough||whistles in an attempt to look innocent|

                            On a side not I hate how the * sign is used for italics and doubling it is bold. I had to find a new sign just to signify action

                              Yeah to be honest guys its better now to search for the novels you read on qidian on other websites, or even use qidian underground on reddit.

                                MasterRabbink Well, Webnovel is hurting the customers by ignoring the questions for over a month. An official statement saying “We can’t talk about it for legal reasons.” Would help a lot, but no, total silence and ignoring any questions about it instead. Maybe tomorrow all novels will be locked behind a paywall, and the prices for SS will double. We’d just be out of luck. And with their record, it wouldn’t be that unexpected. It’s pretty abysmal.

                                  MasterRabbink The problem is, I just wanna kill theit big bosses. Thats all. I cant re read my unlocked chapters, and I need to spent time to watch DOG ADS!!
