That's why are asked of you were a premium user.
That was just a hypothesis. It might be that chapters become locked again for non-premium users or it might be a bug.
During some TGIF events, completed premium novels become completely unlocked for a certain period of time. Once that period is over, they become locked starting from chapter 101, and they are excluded from the 1chapter per day release.

For the invite one just sign up using fake accounts
Great way to get more stones
And you have behind QueenCL
and funky_monkey as they announced that some novels would be made completely free for 2 weeks before all the chapters get locked and you have to re unlock them
You can provide an SS so they re unlock it for you
Which honeslty sounds pretty stupid and make the reader go an extra mile to read a novel
And the relocked novels have no free chapters, all chapters are locked unless they decide to unlock them, this really gonna kill the novels as they wont get posted on Novel updates as it goes against their policy
funky_monkey if you reply, there is a 'format, pic, & video guide'try to read that.
Or go to imgrur. Com or something like that. Google it. Upload your screenshot.
Do not share private data. In your screenshot. (I am sure you do, but just in case.)
Get the share link, pick the forum one. Paste it here.
If ypu really used a SS to unlock a chapter, but the chapter turned locked you should complain. However check QueenCL and K_O_KID answer first.
QueenCL i seriously (at this moment, still not graps the meaning of becoming premium user, forgive me, n pliz don't get bored at me). but the novel that i talked about, get lock in the middle like 101-645 chp, the rest is unlock. so, i don't know why it happen.
@QueenCL @Gothic_Temptation @MasterRabbink Thank you for ur help.

A novel that requires you to unlock chapters with spirit stones without giving you an option to watch an ad is a premium novel. To become a premium user, all you need to do is purchase spirit stones.
If the novel you’re talking about is a completed novel, my guess is that the novel was featured in a past TGIF event where all the chapters were unlocked by Webnovel for 2weeks. After 2weeks, the novel goes back to being premium and all the chapters will be locked again starting from chapter 101.
The reason why I made a guess that it might be an issue for non-premium users is because I didn’t experience that with my completed novels, and I’m a premium user. My premium completed novels (both were unlocked for two weeks for TGIF) are still unlocked, but when I log off and access the site, the novels are locked from chapters 101.
From past forums, I think you’ll need to present your SS history of unlocking the chapters for the novel you’re asking about to a Webnovel rep. Then they’ll unlock the chapters for you.
funky_monkey Everyone who has been reading MMORPG has been hit the most because the paywall is fairly big.
What happened is that the paywall negates any free unlock that occurred previously. Someone mentioned that premium for MMORPG didn't happened for this series until further on, yet QI locked the chapters.
So if you didn't use any SS to unlock those chapters past the paywall, they are locked.
That announcement didn't say the previously unlocked chapters would be locked except first 100, that's beyond retarded, may aswell have the option to buy the whole book.
QueenCLif i had purchased spirit stones, then i'm a premium user? (sorry, just want to make it clear for me). i had purchaed the spirit stone to unlock the lock chapter of the novel that i read.
i've read all the chapter before TGIF unlock the novel for free read.
just one novel in my library that had kind of problem. the other completed novel, it doesn't. so i'm confused.
MaryFord i used SS to unlock the chapter, coz i completed reading the novel before TGIF unlock free.
funky_monkey Then it is definitely a bug. Check MasterRabbink post for what to do
@QueenCL @MasterRabbink @Gothic_Temptation thank u so much for ur help
I can't believe no one is complaining about the huge paywall. Locking over 700 chapters on a 12-15ss per chapter book will cost over 9000ss. That's over 150$ to read one book lol. Glad I read the rest during that 2 week period. The book started off good but went down hill real fast.
Xavier2430 lol people complained about this on HJC and nothing still happened. This paywall system is pretty much discouraging because it's expensive.
That's why you've been seeing people advising others to go join a clone sect.
funky_monkey you're going to take it up with the devs if none of the chaps that you unlocked with ss are unlocked. Unfortunately, people have been on the losing side of this matter because the SS history shows which ones you unlocked (even though, tbh, you can't tell if the system had bugs or not because a ton of these changes in the website were unannounced)
MaryFord i already asked for help (by making a thread) to on of the WN admins. Thank u
Xavier2430
They terrible books anyway
And so much money for terrible books
Not worth it
Im sure that most people will just go on a pirate site to read and those novels will be removed from novel updates unless qidian removes that sign in promt(if its still there)
Ah so this is why Empress Gigolo when full ads all for all 100+ chapters... even those I already read and used SS on...
Looks like I’ll never finish the heavenly guardian novel. This seriously pisses me off that they took away the unlock one chapter a day thing once the novel was completed. More than 700 chapters permanently locked is seriously annoying, I already spend $200 a month on this site since all the novels I read are premium so the unlock one a day thing was saving me money on novels I was waiting to read after I catch up on everything else.
