The entire review system boosted by a XP gain system is just plain wrong.
99.99% of the reviews are complete and utter garbage XP farm and makes it close to if not impossible on some novels to actually see if its any good or not.

Not to mention the TRUE rating of the novel is never shown since pretty much everyone rates it 5 stars.
You could write a novel about killing kittens and puppies, but have something else in the description and it would get a perfect score >.>.

At least you added so you can see if someone read any chapters, but would be a better if the entire xp system went away from reviews. Or put something in place so people who just write reviews for XP (0-5 read chapter derps) gets automatically filtered and hidden and wont affect the score, but they still get their shiny XP.
And if they actually pick up the novel they can get a popup after 20+ chapters to rewrite their review.

What the actual F Q ? Im depending on those free SS to read my premiums. Since its 100% sure that a novel will go premium at 100~ chapters. And with the amount of novels that gets posted on this site it gets harder and harder to actually invest time and SS on certain novels. I have read over 50+ novels on this site, 45+ of them are dropped mostly because the SS cost is silly as hell for the amount of actual story in each chapter. The others i got bored at certain points and went to other novels.

By removing free SS from the daily gift you are screwing over the readers AND the translators. Power stones does nothing for them(from what i have gathered) and they do nothing for us since you only get 5 for the first PS/ES used, the rest are just garbage.

Why are you doing this? I would like to see a perfectly logical reason that makes sense on this change.

Getting power/energy stones as your daily gift is complete BS IMHO. Those free SS is 1 chapter unlock(most of the time. So by getting useless stuff you lose the ability to read another chapter that will make you drop a novel faster and might even make you drop the site entirely. Have Q gone silly? They dont want people to stay here so they can vampire suck up all the money? :O

Q will NEVER care about this. They will probably try to milk everything they can out of this for as long as they can(several years at least).
Reading a complete novel with bought SS is like 400+ USD lmao. Reading it with free stones will take you around 1 year to 3 years depending on how lucky you get xD.

The price to read a novel that is currently being translated is over 300+ USD. And when the book is finished the entire thing will relock(which means all the SS you payed will be wiped and you have to pay more SS to re-read it on the site).

And then when the book is finished it will be up on amazon or something for like 20-30 USD lol. But until then the translator has made a ton of money. Il just wait for the hardcopy or digital copy to come out lol.
Atm im just following 2 novels. I already dropped like 20-30 of them because of lack of SS, might drop these 2 to if something better comes out.

Each novel on this site will cost you around 80+ USD(not counting free SS) to read while its being translated, then another 80-100 USD just to re-read them. And to read a complete novel with only free SS will take you around 8 months(if you get max SS each day) to 2½+ years(If you get the lowest SS each day). Then after this they will sell the completed books to make even more money lol.

Its a complete high way robbery but its a chinese company, what ya expect? Fairness? Hah, even their legal system is biased and corrupt as hell towards their own companies only.

I stopped giving my powerstones to any new novels just to avoid them going premium, if the novel does not get a super good flying start with massive power stone dump it wont go premium as fast(i hope).
So i dump them all on Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms, since that one has over 500 chapters and still not premium lol.

I want a refund for chapter 499. Or next chapter needs to be free to make up for it.

I stopped reading like 4 or 5 novels and are waiting for free chapters since frankly, i cant afford that kind of upkeep when all of them costs 15 stones per chapter, and they release 1-2 chapters per day. The only income you can get in a day is like 15-20 stones and thats it.
So now im only reading super gene, its 6 stones each, but he releases 2-3 chapters a day which makes it worth the stones IMHO.

Im reading 38 novels ATM on Q. If all of them goes premium. Im litterly f'd. I can unlock around 5-10 chapters per day only lol.
