You are lucky.
Here we need to pay more $ for one coin.

The_Cheese It is a freebie for them.
It seems like there are more events to get money from the customers.
Maybe they need to push the purchases...alexandrovich977 They say ihe price is cheap now because a cheapter costs only 0,2$. They say a book on this Plattform is many times longer then a saga like Harry Potter.
They say we are cheap ones because we don't like or we can't pay for this amount of spirit stones we need to read.I say everytime we have following problems in this plattform:
- Low quality
- high filler rate
- unfinished products
- Performance drop from authors
- high costs to read a book or to read until the newest chapterAnd the biggest problem:
The customer isn't much worth. The system changes every time to a worse state then before (free reading - > ads - > spirit stones - > elite membership - > privilege - > coins)
I am here since I think two or three years. I saw every change. The only good change was the elite membership for readers like meMost people read more than one book at the same time. If I would sum up all of my books online I read and calculate the costs like quidian I would have to pay hundreds of $ every fucking month...
Maybe it is because I read two hours almost every day and at least 100 words per minute.
No from me and I hope every day that the novels on my list don't get bought by quidian.Tomoyuki One questions back for you - how can authors survive whem they publish full books on amazon for 3 or 5 bucks?
The books are edited too.Here you don't know if they finish the book. You don't know if you get a filler chap after filler chap to generate income for the author.
You don't know if the quality drops...Why should I pay hundreds of bucks for one book to read (many books here have hundreds of chapters) ?
Give me good reasons for it...The customer and the author have different sites and arguments for it. And maybe I have other feelings about writing (as a lowly author for myself) than you.
I write stories for fun - if I get a good income it is great. If I get an contract with a publisher it is eben better but first I write for me. And I don't want to present the people with a filler filled book which has only the typical tags. I want an individual great story for them. Without this things I don't present a book to the potential reader.
Sometimes I read into the new books and they have all the same plot or such a poor quality that I would be ashamed if I was the one published it...
RSN I am an example for this. I read over 20 books on this site and payed for it until they rised the price and stopped the unlimited reading for 20 bucks/month.
I spent nothing since february here, only read with free ss or my last bought ss.
I am sorry for the authors but the prices are to high - I use kindle unlimited, webtoon and different reading apps at the same time and sorry but quidian has the highest price and the worst reading option.
I don't get enough from this site to spend a few hundreds € every month for SS.I don't think the coins will be helpful. I think they will increase the price more and more until the fans can't pay it anymore.
In most apps I know there aren't free coins.
Maybe they want to get rid of the free ss with the change of name...I remember a time where I could read everxthing free in the app and after this there was a time where I could read everything with 20$/month. SS was free to gift the authors.
Now they change the ss to coins and reduve the amount of free ss which customers could get...
What will happen at the next step?I remember the time when we could read everything for 20$/month.
The good old days.The company lost me as a customer after they stopped it.
They want money but they lost many paying customers with the privilege thing.And please don't forget an eBook on for example amazon costs only 5$ with full editing and so on. You have to pay a few hundreds dollar for an unfinished novel on this site...

Same here - interesting point is that my reading time for the comic didn't sum up with the novel reading time on the reading timer...Only question is: Bug or Feature (for the company)?

I'll pay for books on other plattforms but I don't support such a plattform like webnovel anymore. The price of the books is different. If I have to pay 5$ for a medicore complete book I can say ok I understand but 50$ in SS for a book only because of the chapters and I don't know if the author will end the book - hmm I say no. And most of the books have problems with grammatic. They aren't edited or they change all in a similar way because an other book makes good money with it.The problem is with webnovel and the system.
I read books on MoboReader, Amazon. I used WattPad. I read fanfictions on fanfiction net.
I know many sites but I stay here and wait for a good solution of webnovel. The only thing I stopped for now is the payment of stories since it isn't fair for people who read much. Give me a fair solution you will get a paying customer back.And the solution about a fair payment would be like the kindle unlimited payment. You get paid for every site the reader reads. Maybe the big authors get less at first but some people will start the stories where a chapter cost 10 or 15 SS. And the people can still send some gifts for the stories or authors.
It needs time and everytime something change there are people who are complaining.

The bad thing is many customers stop reading new novels from new contracted authors.
You can't read many stories because of the costs as long as there isn't a subscription.I started many original novels at my subscription time and many comics. I stopped them all because I won't buy SS.
The stories are ok but they are not good enough to make me addicted.CKtalon
And I say it again and again. I was a paying customer and this business management got me to spend 0 purchased SS since the cancellation of the subscription and I won't buy any more SS as long as there isn't a fair system.If enough people pay 25$/month the authors income doesn't drop and the company income will rise. But something like this needs time - it works with other companies. I don't know why webnovel want to kill the app with the almost monthly system change.
And I am not the only one. It is how to fuck off the paying readers from a working plattform because a company is greedy and needs a big piece of the cake.

I pay around 5$ for a eBook if it has over 100k words. If the author is good I pay around 10$Whats your author name on Amazon?
Fun Fact: I got for the example the eBook price of Tarzan. If I want to read it in Germany - it should be for free since it is too old to have a copyright...
