  • Tomoyuki I just want you to know that I don't think anyone appreciates you whiteknighting for this scummy company.

    • Here is a privilege system people might actually buy into.

      You buy privileged, you get 5 chapters ahead reading access, but at the end of that month that 5 chapter advance access does not go away, you stay 5 chapters ahead (all it would take is 5 extra chapters each month to stop this from being an issue)

      People that come in late would see the option to buy 5, 10, 15, etc chapters ahead depending on how many months those 5 chapters a month had been building up, but once they are actually caught up just the option to buy the extra 5 chapters a month would be there, but it would be a continual thing.

      Of course you will have to jack the price up but I think people will feel better if only because they don't automatically lose the access to chapters they paid for just because they don't keep paying you, they only don't get access to the newer 5 priv chapters.

      Sure the jerk aggregators would get a bit better situation from this but the people that mess with that stuff aren't going to buy priv from you anyway, and the ones that do buy will be much happier.

    • 5 SS has been my norm for about a week now. 5 or no SS but XP and PS instead, I was starting to think they changed it from random to just 5, but these other people seem to be still getting more.

      • carfat A thousand times this. I have had two books that I had unlocked /MANY/ chapters only to end up relocking all of said chapters with no warning what-so-ever. Before I would pay to unlock again I would just read them elsewhere.

        Also, I just noticed a new problem, things I have unlocked on the mobile app are not unlocking when viewing from PC, same account of course.

        • Title says it all, I have unlocked chapters on my phone yet those chapters are not unlocked when I try to read the same book with the same account, on my computer. Is this on purpose or bugged out?

          • So... is this on purpose? Is this a bug? (God I hope so but I have a bad feeling it isn't)

            I had read to chapter 707 (I had actually unlocked many chapters of this novel, but they were split apart in groups and then there would be groups that I had waited on to unlock for lack of SS) Now everything past chapter 100 is locked, including the chapters I had paid SS to unlock. Have any other novels had this happen?

            I had never bought SS as of yet anyway, as I feel like they cost about 10x more than they should - keeping up with premium a novel can cost 100-200$ when they should be closer to 10-20$ according to market prices, if they actually priced the SS lower I might have become a paying customer but if this was on purpose they have lost me.

            • Why does this exist? Just putting this on a book seems like its opening a can of worms, wouldn't it be better just to make this tag go away?

              I only see it used on 2 books... even if the books have no racism in them, this doesn't seem like the kind of thing you tag. Does this mean that all the books that don't have the tag are racist?

              • GegeSadewa Many people like that will just go to some third-party site to find the chapters mirrored (kinda like what they do to WW). They have to be losing out on potential revenue on this, I can't see how the suckers who buy SS could outweigh the income from the people who would have watched an ad but will go to a rip-off site before they will actually spend money.

                • WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL I really hope you live up to that promise. I have seen many broken promises on the internet but I would not mind watching as many ads as it takes to get my free chapters.
