  • Zonoid it’s probably against forum rules to recommend competitors. But do you know what is even more insane? I’ve actually bought 500(+100 bonus) for 10 dollars. Lasted me 2weeks on following 2.5 premium only. I say half because one of them turned premium at the end. That’s just absurd for me.

    But anyway, the cost wasn’t the insane part, the insane part is that since I’ve chosen not to buy more sprinting stones I can not read my novels anymore until the free chapters catch up to where I stopped paying stones. Which means I will have to wait 20 days at least to get anymore updates on one of my novels since it has 40 locked chapters. Idk how many locked chapters the other 2 have. This is why I called the mechanic like addiction. Either pay more or go without updates for weeks. Some novels apparently have more then 100 locked chapters which just makes it worse.

    They could easily design a system where I don’t have to wait 20 days without a single chapter because I stopped paying. Fx. a dynamic system, The novel updates twice daily, they could make one of them free and next locked. Which means I’ll atleast get a chapter daily until the locked chapters stack up to 40 again. the current system will not give me free chapters until there are 40 locked chapters again, which will take 20 days.

    So basically do not buy spirit stones unless you know for a fact that you will keep buying and never ever stop buying to read ahead

    • I’ve decided to just not start any new novels on this site and drop most of my current ones. I will only be following 3 novels here. New novels I’ll be getting elsewhere now. Something like a monthly membership I would totally go for, but this spirit stone business model which is like addiction is a no go for me

      • YueZise I posted it on 2 other posts about premium. I wish I never had unlocked locked chapters. It’s gonna be tough waiting to catch up to free chapters

        • Spirit stones is an addiction mechanic. Without spirit stones and only reading free chapters you get 1-2 chapters per novel, which is the same if you have caught up to locked chapters already anyway! But what if you are caught up to locked chapters and are out of spirit stones? Cough up more money or wait days/weeks for your next free chapter. Fx. I’ve just found out strongest system has 40 locked chapters, which means I get no free chapters for 20 days straight. So don’t buy spirit stones and get caught in this addiction mechanic

            • What, strongest system has 40 locked chapters? So it means I will have to wait 20 days before I see any free chapters? This is just so stupid, I’m not going to buy any more stones if the mechanics themselves act like addiction. I bought 500 spirit stones once to see how long it would last, lasted a disappointingly 2 weeks when only reading 3 novels. I can get Netflix for that price

              • I guess there are uses for it. Now we just need a native ipad app ;D
