Hey, this is something I noticed about premium novels and could be an improvement that would greatly reduce people's hate....
- Currently, paying 120 Spirit Stones (SS) to read 10 premium chapters today, just means having to wait 10 days before you can read another chapter. Therefore, you either ALWAYS pay to be able to read, or waste SS today and have to wait a lot after... This happened to me, I spent 300 SS to read my 2 favourite novels, then had to wait over 2 weeks before I could read a single chapter because I was out of SS.
- A possible solution to this problem would be for Qidian to "remember" how many chapters you paid for, so that the next day, when a chapter gets released, you still get a free chapter, instead of being penalized for having paid before. Since premium novels release more than a chapter per day, there will always be "premium" chapters, but people that pay today to read some premium won't have to suffer X days of waiting before the next one.
The reason I'm writting this is simple... I used to use my SS all the time to "unlock" the newest chapters, but after I was forced to wait 2 weeks to wait for free chapters to catch up to where I paid with SS before I could continue reading, I felt like Qidian was PUNISHING me for not paying them every day.... and therefore I now refuse to use my SS for ANY novel... I'd rather have them expire and disappear than satisfy their ego and then have to suffer through a punishment when I stop paying...
