Yup I didn't mind elite since it gave unlimited but this is just insulting. Paying $10 to unlock 25 chapters and then having to pay for the chapters after its just just a gut punch after the kick in the teeth.

I think that's actually why its $25. Because most would only get a month out of maybe every 2-3. I agree for a monthly system $25 is too much.
And to the person who was defending it through word count of American ebooks well Kindle Unlimited kinda breaks your point. You said that one series was about $182 which is true for spirit stones. Yet that's the price Quidian set for it not market price. There's thousands of Full length novel on KU for $9.99/month which can probably rival half of qudian's Chinese site and all of this one.
I do like a lot of the books here and I will probably get a monthly sub maybe a few times unlike my KU which I have always. So its $120/year for kindle n maybe $75-100 for quidian at best. Not that different until you get the number of people using KU (which I'm too lazy to look up) but I'm sure they are making millions vs the hundred thousands quidian stands too make. It's really their consumer base is a lot smaller which is why they made the price higher to compensate I think.
