CKtalon You're right. It is for those who want it. That doesn't mean people won't point out how unethical it is to try and lie to people through fine print.
Had it plainly said, "You will still need to unlock chapters with SS after purchasing privileges for a book"
People would have rolled their eyes at the price and only complained about that. What cracks me up is how you can defend this feature when you know full good and well the majority are not 100% English proficient. Hell the translators can't even get it right.
But boy the way that privilege page is worded and how Webnovel had to sneak some fine print rules in via the nearly hidden question mark. That's straight up greaseball mechanics right there. Webnovel must be hard up for some cash to not only try and squeeze the whales but the minnows who don't even understand.
If that had happened to me, I'd be taking screen shots and filing a report for a refund. Since Webnovel seems to be adamant about not giving refunds. If all the threads, discord and Facebook posts are anything to go by.

Piokilek First off its not like Patreon. Not only is it more expensive than a lot of existing and pre-existing patreons but the biggest difference is you are only paying for the ability to unlock the next 5-50 chapters. You don't actually get to read them.
So you spend 2500 SS or $50 USD. For the right to view 50 chapters then you get to spend another 400-750 SS just to read them. When I spent $50 on a patreon I got to read them right then and there.
Also because it is SS and not a patreon your money spent to support the author or translator is a minor cut compared to Webnovels major.

Cursing them does no good, hit them in the wallet and spread awareness of other sites. Blame those who keep spending so they think these ideas are ok. They still have a 4.5 star rating on the Google Store. Bomb it with truths.
Never forget.
Shadowkage Greed, quit buying stones. More support they get the less chance of anything coming back there is.
CinnaSugar I mean, there are other websites with the same content if you google well.

Its been said they are working on something. When it will come back is another question.
My guess is they really didn't expect people to binge as much as they did and mix that in with the prices of comics and it created a mess. This is purely my thoughts but I dont think we will see another all you can read subscription. What will most likely happen is you get to choose a few books and subscribe to them.
"Some Authors saw a drop in their income"
Well, you're about to see a lot more drop after the membership goes away.
SouthToiletWizard I love my work.
Or take the traditional authors route and finish your book first. Then you don't have to worry about updates.
Yeah, considering you get access to both all novels and comics its a steal. But if you don't read much but one or two stories its obviously not gonna be worth it.
