  • Lizabelle88 That takes time especially if the story contains hundreds of chapter. I’m still currently looking for a way to delete the story completely.

    So far, having the story on hiatus mode will do. :/

    • Reinesse You’re right.

      The reason why Wattpad gradually decrease having Filipino readers mainly because of cliché plots, worse have dull tweaks. Yung tipong luluwa na yung mata mo kakahanap ng magandang plot pero wala ka pa ring nakikita. Bihira na lang yung overused plot pero maganda yung takbo ng story.

      I’m speaking the truth.

      Only few Filipino writers that can be treated as gems.

      Another one important for a writer to consider is his writing style. Even if he conveyed enough/strong feelings to the story to enable readers to feel it, if the writing style is bad enough, some would definitely leave early not finishing the story. Mostly the writing style regarded as unpleasant to read are: jejemon words; emojis; too much onomatopeias that can just replaced with appropriate words. Is there more?

      Kahit gaano kaganda yung story kung mas marami pang emoji at jejemon words na sagabal, wala naman talagang halaga at nagpapahaba lang sa story, talagang sasakit din ang mata ng ilang readers.

      Also take note about in grammar. We accepted that even we have English as our second language, most of us are still fluent in the said language. There’s no problem if he made mistakes in English (but not too much especially is basic structures).

      But why even the mother tongue?

      Simpleng paggamit ng “ng”, “nang”, “din” at “rin” mali pa. Kung nag-aaral yung writer tapos mali paggamit niya, baka hindi yan nakikinig nung tinuro ng teacher niya. I mean, hindi sa pagiging “grammar conscious” ha, pero that is basic knowledge every student should know.

      At panghuli, yung mga characters na masyadong out-of-this-world yung ugali pero pag chineck mo yung genre napakalayo. Pwedeng masyadong brainless (especially sa mga making decisions) or ang OA na to the point gusto mong ibalibag yung cellphone at sabunutan o hampasin yung katabi mo sa sobrang inis.

      There are a lot of problems that I unable to list down here. Bahala na kayo dumagdag ng kulang.

      I apologise to whoever reads this and unable to understand some parts because of different language. I can’t explain some in English so i have to switch at Tagalog.

      P.S Baka may mag-correct sa akin na dapat apologize at hindi apologise. Baka lang naman hehehe.

      • laura_29 Omg, I'm sorry for super late response. Anyway, you can turn it off just where story you turned it on. It won't affect any story you also auto-unlocked.

      • Why are there some go make a fuss about the chosen country and to the couples. Did SolsBolz wronged you? Or even Philippines? Even more, the Cloudary (or what you've been calling Webnovel when in fact it's the name of the app) was the one who picked it! Whatever the reason they had is I DON'T CARE.

        Wrong choice? So are you saying that your country is better?

        What are they sharing is the story of the couples NOT the couple themselves!

        No one is asking that you have to be a Filipino or a fan for the story in order to read it.

        • If ever they change to 5 SS per PS and ES used, then maybe the leveling will be useful than ever. It's a shame that they made ALMOST all of the books here premium and even went to tigthening the distribution of SS.

          Not all of the users here can afford go premium! The earning system from the previous version is really better than now!

          I hope the Cloudary can read this...

          • ladyfq Probably the company set it. I get +5 SS and +5 EXP frequently than before from watching ads which is quite frustrating.

            • kmmrocks Yes, you can still get SS from watching videos but it seems they’ve put limiter to the amount of SS you can receive. I guess the maximum is 15 SS.

            • Maaneet I don’t know either. The system for that seems unfair to me. We receive more than one PS/ES everyday but only one 5 SS we get once we casted a vote. So I really want to change it (system) badly. Receiving 5 SS per stone is fair enough, at this point, user will be encouraged to vote on original stories.

              But I rather choose the alternative since leveling gets tougher every next level.

              • iamasnowflake Energy Stone or ES for short is used to cast a vote for stories you want to publish here in Webnovel. It increases depending on the level you’ve reached and replenish at 12mn.

                • JoannaAngel05 A successful sent invitation code doesn't mean you’ll get SS. If they didn't enter the invitation code you’ve sent when they signing up then you won’t get any SS at all.

                • Users who can’t afford going premium are relying to free SS offers. With the current system, consuming SS increased and saving them up for some purpose/s became difficult. In my opinion, I even found the way of leveling up turned to hard mode.

                  Here are the proposals I want Cloudary to change (although the chance of getting them notice of this, let alone approved, is slim, perhaps even impossible).

                  ・NO TO +5 SS, +5 EXP gift/offer;

                  ・Adds 50 EXP on weekend log–ins;

                  ・Watching ads will ONLY give SS;

                  ・PS and ES gives 5 SS per stone/vote (I know this sounds greedy but I use some to send gift)
                    ALTERNATIVE:
                     ・PS gives +5 SS per stone/vote AND,
                     ・ES gives +5 EXP per stone/vote
                    REASON: People only get 5 SS ONCE they’ve casted a vote. As we level up, the number of PS and ES increases but we don’t gain more than that;

                  ・Remain “Time Reading” offer and will only give 5 SS BUT the total hour of reading should be five hours AND it replenishes EVERYDAY like the PS and ES
                    REASON 01: This should be reasonable. Imagine, you'll get 25 SS PER DAY if you managed to reached the total amount time of reading. That’s a total of 175 SS PER WEEK! If you’re reading too many (premium) books, then you’re unlucky.)
                    REASON 02: Completing a 10–hour reading length is easy (I usually binge–read on weekends), except for users with tight schedule or whatever reason they have, but 10 hours for the whole week and you’ll get for the total of 40 SS only?! vomits blood

                  Actually, the same thing happened to me and I just let as the way it is and now they got re-unlocked again (I didn't spent any SS for re unlocking) but I don’t know since when. So perhaps you maybe should follow my footsteps or rant the company until they fix it. I believed this caused of their updates though I re-installed mine when the bug occured.

                  • Auto-unlock will indeed cost you SS. Just turn on the auto-unlock and it will automatically work. Take note that it is made to specifically auto-unlock stories, meaning turning on from one story doesn't mean all stories you have in the library will be affected too. The way it works is simple, if you have enough SS and you're at the chapter before the locked chapter it will automatically unlock it but will not continually do so until you reach the chapter before it. I hope it helped.

                    • I got stumbled last night in an author's profile who translated the story I'm done reading few months ago and found out there is also the same book but translated in different language.

                      The question is, does anyone have the liberation to translate a book with the language they desired to use or have to contact the author and/or Qidian for permission, especially for the books that the company holds?

                      I really want to translate one!

                      • You will still have to download them by yourself but don't fret as they have added a function 'auto unlock locked chapters' which quite useful since it can be turn on for specific story(ies) you want to without affecting others. As my memory serves right, locked chapters will be unlocked once you reached the chapter before it. I hope my answer helped you.

                        • Don't worry my brother, you can still read offline. HOWEVER...

                          If your app is on latest version, I'm sorry to tell you the bad news - you have to manually download the stories ONE BY ONE, unlike the previous version(s) where you can multiple pick the stories you want to download. If you try to pick/check stories, only one button named 'Remove' is you can see and the button 'Download' is now gone.

                          The pro in this version is you can finally download manhua/comics which explains well since they're unavailable in the previous versions. IN MY OPINION, I rather found this useless since manhua will ate a lot of size like you’ve downloaded a 30-mins 1080p video. Worse, you can't delete the files as they are encrypted to numbers and there's no way to know which is which.
