Hello I have logged in on Sunday 6:40 pm central time zone USA and it has counted me logging on Monday which has caused me to lose my login bonus for Sunday and continue login bonus :(
Is there any way to correct this time zone issue? - Edited
Ok, I have to say this is a bit wrong...
I was thinking about going back to rereading magnus era and discovered that now there’s a paywall starting at chapter 123. So i thought ok how much would it cost to catch up.
So at chapter 123 there is 1643 chapters on a paywall. The lowest a chapter can cost is 9 spritit stones. So 1643*9=14,787 spirit stones minimum are needed to catch up. So what’s the highest package you can buy? It’s the 49.99 or $50 which has 2500+750 spirit stones for a total of 3250.
So 14,787/3250 =4.549 packages are needed to catch up which is $227 dollars is needed to catch up. But let’s round that up to 5 because u can’t buy half a package and the 50 buck package gives the most bonus so $250 bucks are required to catch up on this novel.
How is this possible???? I wouldn’t mind spending 30-40 for a finish novel but 250 bucks is way to much.So Qidian, please add a feature to bulk buy a novels chapter for a price that’s more understandable.
Because even a best seller doesn’t cost that much.In my preference I wish the prices for spirit stones would drop down a bit. It’s to expensive to buy depending on your budget
At this point to read 1000 chapters with a word count cost of 6 will cost you about 50 bucks which is crap. I can go buy a American novel for 20 at the least
TearsOfRose Since they are getting rid of the 200% bonuses a 50% bonus when buying the bigger tiers would be really really nice. All freakin stores do that I mean come on Qidian... Try reading 3 books that are on premium..... Even with the 30 free spirit stones which add up to 900 a month ur still forking over 20 bucks every month with no incentive to instead just mess qidian over on their taxes and accounting by buying 1 dollar packages multiple times. Now get everyone doing that and the credit card companies stopping shit and they will change I think.

I feel the pricing is just bit expensive. I have done the math to read 2-3 books I need to spend 20-30 dollars every month, which is the same price as an MMO subscription which I can spend many more hours in a month then reading a chapter every day for 3-4 minutes. The extra percentage made sense for the bonus. Now if buying a bigger package actually game more spirits stone then just buying 20 99 cent packages then it would be fine but it really doesn't have an incentive to buy bigger packages without a bonus for it. Can you please take a look at the SS packages? maybe give extra SS for bigger packages so its actually worth the money?
But if I'm also understanding correctly will all the bonuses be gone? because its monday for me and still see the bonuses? so idk too confusing atm.

N0xiety With my equation of x77*52= cost per year with x being the number of chapters you read per day then I use that number with packages with no bonus added. The real question lies if they keep the bonus SS then it is quite a lot less expensive and a point where I wouldn't mind paying. It really depends on the age groups that read qidian which I am expecting varies between teens to late 20's, which would be the largest group, if so then it would make sense especially in America to keep the cost lower to earn more. Another thing also varies which is the amount that you receive in daily login and power voting plus the not available ads. Depending on how many ads how can watch per day and how much stones you earn it will bring the cost down a bit. With all this, I'll make another equation and post it here. I'm thinking you can watch 2 ads per day at 4 spirits stones so a total of 8 spirit stones + 5 for power voting + 5 -13 for daily check-in and I'll use a lower number for the equation because you don't receive the higher number as often.
electricspark I did a calculation that if you don't count bonus SS which I believe will quickly go away. And u read 3 titles that release 2 chapters per day. In this equation the chapters are equal length costing a 7 SS per chapter. It totals 240 bucks per year with no bonus SS.
Supreme_Idler A new book won't cost 50+ to read. A video game costs 60 bucks new, and you can spend hundreds of hours playing it unlike a webnovel which can take u 10-15 hours to complete

From what I have read it seems the only 15 top premium chapters are supposed to be locked behind the paywall and not more than that. Isn't that correct? If so it is wrong right now.
I would imagine it will start to become a problem for qidian.
I guess we knew what we were getting into once we got onto this site. I thought honestly ads were good enough for qidian. i'm reall sad about this but it seems I'm going to drop qidian and hope a lot of others also drop it. SS should not expire at all because they were hard earned.
So are we predicting the translators to give up their patreon status to go only SS? Are buying the premium chapters going to stay the same? If I remember correctly its 4 per chapter?
