  • Overlord_Venus I would be fine with the six month limit if that were the case but I've been reading Kog for more than a year and it has never relocked any of the chapters. Also as I mentioned earlier, the relocked chapters in Kog seem to have been re-uploaded almost a month ago and relocked because of that.

    • CKtalon yes I did read some chapters for free, but that's been clarified by someone else. however, in the case of Kog which I mentioned earlier, I did unlock those chapters.
      Unless you mean "unlock" with bought ss/coins

      • CrispyCritter my history is about the same as yours and I do agree that the system is pretty solid, after all I've been using it for a bit more than 2 years without issue.

        Here's the problem, one of the novels I'm seeing this problem with is Kog (king of gods). Chapters 40 - 184 have been relocked and I know I unlocked them because I've re-read the novel more than twice. I can't provide proof because my history no longer goes back that far. In fact the earliest chapter in my history is in the 1300s(currently on 1508). This means that any chapter bought with spirit stones is possibly at risk, considering you no longer have proof of payment.

        I said it was the system because in this case it only happens to chapters that have been re-uploaded. So I obviously don't know what's going on behind the scenes but imo there's 2 possible problems, either:
        1) the chapters being re-uploaded are being locked because the system considers them as "New"
        Or 2) whoever's re-uploading the chapters is locking them on purpose.

        • Darth_Xiane well that sucks, in the case of free reading or reading before the paywall, while I don't agree, I can see how that works.
          however, how or why would someone take screenshots or record proof of purchase for a chapter when they don't expect it to be locked again. This is a oversight on webnovel's part(probably in the programming). Paid chapters being relocked isn't something we should be held accountable for, and honestly, how many readers keep proof something as simple as unlocking a chapter.

          • I would love for webnovel to stop locking chapters that I've already unlocked and read. Why are chapters being relocked?, I'd love to know. I've recently gone back to some novels to re-read them and I have noticed that some of the earlier chapters of at least 2 of the novels in my library have been locked, despite the fact that I've either unlocked them or read them before they went premium. I've also noticed that some of these relocked chapters seem to have been re-uploaded, if that is the cause of these chapters being locked then I would like webnovel to please fix this problem.

            Thanks in advance
