  • I originally wanted to write a post raging at how expensive all the chapters are, but after watching all the novels start to switch to spirit stones only for new chapters over the past few weeks, I've come to realize I just don't want to support this website anymore. I've been addicted to reading light novels for 2-3 years now to the point where I spend almost all of my free time reading them. I thoroughly enjoy the many different styles of writing and schools of thought incorporated into the several dozen novels I've read and continued to keep up with. The new policies this website is enacting has made me reevaluate the worth of spending my time reading LNs, especially on this website.

    I can understand wanting to earn money for your work translating, keeping the site running, etc., but we're y'all really not making anything from the add revenue for new chapters? Was it just so low that you had to raise the price of spirit stones to 2 cents each to cover costs? I think not, and I did the math to make sure I wasn't being overly sensitive. Most of the new chapters cost between 5-15 spirit stones so let's say an average of 10 per chapter. I haven't found a LN under 1000 chapters in full, and it's usually more. So if I pay 2 cents per spirit stone and 10 spirit stones a chapter that 20 cents a chapter. 1000 chapters × $0.2 = $200. Honestly, if I was to pay $200 for a book it better be leather bound with calligraphy and least come with a complimentary hand job.

    Sure I'm only paying spirit stones for the newest chapters, and I could just wait it out until they become free. Why should I stress myself out waiting for enough new chapters to be uploaded so that the next chapter is free when I can just go to the library and borrow a book to read for free? I could read an actual book every day or two and still not have any new chapter to read in an LN. So yah, this is goodbye and thank you again for helping me to find better ways to spend my time.

    P.S. I got some spirit stones to sell back to you so just email me about the most convenient way to go about this.

    P.P.S. If it's too much to ask, then forget about it. Who knows, I might come back in a few years if I 've become a paraplegic or something and have nothing to do in life.
