  • NightGale35 3 times in 10 mins? So nice... I got logged out every few pages in 1 chapter. Been 4 times so far.

  • Superstar of Tomorrow, the translation had already reached the latest chapter of the original and the original author only updated their novel 1-2 chapters monthly but it had became privileged novel today and locking the latest 1-2 chapters for unknown amounts of time (possibly up to 1 month) for the non-privileged readers. Wow... The extent of what translators/authors willing to do to gain that extra 1 coin from 1-2 chapters privileged...

    I didn't know until just now that they can even make novels with monthly updates into privileged novels. What's next? Novel with annual updates turned to privileged? Or authors/Translators purposely withholding novels that used to be updated daily for one month only to released it all at once next month for the 999 coins privileged? Can they repeat this every times they want that extra 999 coins?

  • WTH did you do Qidian!!!??? In one chapter I encountered 3-4 pop up ads!!! It's not even a long chapter, probably at around 1k-1.5k words. And it happened to all chapters that I read, including premium chapters!!!

    • Their greediness know no bound. I paid for premium chapters but I still get pop up ads after every few chapters.

      • Why the would you do this? I already paid for the premium chapters and now I'm also forced to view ads after every chapters that I read?

      • iWish_iWasA_Cat Oh yeah? Too bad for you then if you're not a weab or NEET. It were written thousands of times in Akashic records, ancient texts, media, and even in the law (China's Law that states reincarnated people must announce and register themselves) that only weabs and NEETs may have a chance to be reincarnated, transmigrated, time travels, and have all kind of cheats!!! And Loli harem!

        • I'm not a professional reviewer but if I don't like something I sometimes make my mind known and gives low rating with what I and many others that liked my review think was an accurate description of the story. I explained the reasons of giving low rating like plot holes, inconsistencies, bad usage of genders terms, personal opinions on bad plot twists instead of spamming words. And some people seems to agreed with my reviews. But so what? I just received notification that my review(s) had been removed by author(s).
          It's like if the sellers in Amazon are allowed to give rating and reviews of their own product while removing all the bad reviews.

          I agree that novels receiving low rating spams are victims and they somehow need a way to remove the spams, but it shouldn't be authors' authority to removed them. If the reason of giving Authors this authority is the lack of manpower can't they just create or use a function or program to automatically detect spams and remove them? It shouldn't be that hard as spams usually have the same wording or patterns. Even the spammers usually have similar usernames.

          • Did it became privileged novel?
            Authors that don't have stock piled chapters for the 50 privileged chapters but want the sweet sweet SS just turn the previous released 50 free/premium chapters into privileged one.
            Happened to "I might be a fake cultivator" too.

            • I had just checked the review section of "I might be a fake cultivator" and look and behold what I found, hundreds of users with suspicious username, some with same username and only differentiated with numbers, spamming 5 stars rating and the review texts were all the same quotation from God only knows where did it come from.

              Can we have some form of user authentication like phone number to prevent this case? One person created a bot that created thousands of account just to boost rating and ranking.

              • Fiona_Singer Fiona_Singer wow... Then shouldn't cultivation novels also included in the supernatural categories? Because cultivation of going against the heaven shouldn't be natural right? And all those novels with systems? isekai? Reincarnation? Sci-fi? All of them are not natural, so shouldn't they be in the supernatural category too?

                I think there was once someone that did a calculation on how much it cost to read a novel to completion in webnovel. If I'm not wrong the average chapters count for Chinese novel is around 1500 chapters, most at 800 chapters and some at 2000+chapters. The average word count is around 2000 word per chapter so that's 10SS per chapter. So on average you'll need to spend 15000SS per novel. So that's around $230-$250(if include tax) to read one novel to completion. I'm not sure if that's normal in China but in Amazon the complete Harry Potter novels only cost around $50, complete Lord of the ring for $40, and the current Game of Thrones for $35.

                • Cantiara yeah but it seems either the author or translator like to add redundant words for the sake of increasing word count.
                  For example:
                  - in cultivation novels they kept explaining the same skill again and again. They kept spamming these long ass skill names.
                  - in gaming novels they kept showing the status screen and skill details with only minor to no changes at all every few chapters. Sometime these status took up half the chapter.
                  - in foods novel they keep describing the same cooking processes over and over again and sometimes too much details.
                  - in superstars or entertainment novels they freaking wrote part of or even the whole songs into the chapter. Songs that was available online.
                  - in medical novel they describe the same treatments in detail countless time and sometimes an illness' treatment took hundreds of chapters and each chapters described the same treatment processes.

                  • Same thing happened to me yesterday. What I did was to just let it go and wait for few hours then watch the ads again and got the reward. It seems the cause was something regarding too many users watched the ads from the same region/country or your previous interaction with the ads. Looks like they don't want to suffer loses and give you reward if you never interact with the ads before and that they also have quota for max number of viewer.

                    • CKtalon I see, another question, If initially I paid 1000ss for 10 privileged chapters but then I want to upgrade it to 2500ss for 25 chapters and of the same novel do I still need to pay the full amount of 2500ss? Or will it deduct from the 1000ss I paid initially so I only need to pay 1500ss more?

                      • Cantiara Yea I know about that and I also know that it's not worth the SS spent, but I often find myself raging when the translator stopped the daily chapters right on a massive cliffhanger and if I read the novel in the morning I might think on that chapters and next chapters the whole day and possibly ruin my day. So in my opinion, if I can spend 200ss for 5chapters and possibly finish without cliffhangers it might be a good deal. But the 2nd payment required to unlock the unlocked chapters still sucks.

                        • CKtalon thanks for the reply. Is there any rules or guidelines regarding how much the translator or Qidian can charge for privileged chapters?
                          I just check the cost for privileged chapters of 2 novels which are 1 marriage 2 treasures and RTW, for 1M2T they charge 2500ss for 50 chapters while RTW charge 2000ss for 15 chapters. Even if it based on word count I don't think 15 RTW chapters have equals word count to 40 1M2T chapters.

                          • @CKtalon hi, I just want to have a clarification, it seem that I need to buy the privilege first before I can see how many stockpiled chapter the novel has. Let's say if I used 2500ss to buy 50 privileged chapters, but the novel only have 10 chapters stockpiled, did that means I had wasted 2000ss for nothing?
                            According to rule #5 or #6 (I don't remember) if I spent ss to buy 20 privileged chapters but the author only have 18 chapters stockpiled it effectively means I only got 18 chapters for the price of 20 privileged chapters and that there won't be any refund.

                            • Can we have this filter for the app and website? I'll be honest, I read all kind of novels including hentais and of course they'll be in my library. I often find myself talking to my friends and family regarding good novels that I'm reading and I also would like to show them the novels in my library but I can't, why? Because I have lots of hentai in my library that I feel awkward showing to them. I think it'll be great if we can categorize our library according to tags/filters and a feature for us to share our reading list to others.

                            • Is there a max amount of premium chapters for the novels?
                              I thought we will get 1 premium chapter and 1 premium chapter turned free chapter daily but lately I haven't seen any free chapter even after waiting for days. Super gene had 60+ premium chapters in my library, others had around 50+ premium chapters.

                              Will the premium chapters turned to free chapters daily?
