They wont win. They might force the change but its never gonna be a win. WEBnovel becoming app only will make them lose a ton of authors and readers. If last time they returned to WN to give them a chance, this time they will probably move on for real. So noone can say its a win for them.

macubex445 Exactly, I use my phone when Im out like on break at work or in a waiting room at the doctor,barber,etc . But at home? Why would I sit next to the plug on the floor with my short chargercable connected to my low battery phone when I can sit in my comfy chair reading on a large screen? I can read for hours on end, so if I need to use my phone for that I will run out of battery in no time at all, since its quite "old" already.
I wonder who they meant with "exception", probably not everyone...
Tbh I understand them wanting people to use the app (which hasnt changed in years). It would be a waste of resources if noone uses it... but they at least shouldve had a pc equivalent ready if they decided to do this to the web version which massively impacts pc readers, who cant get the app.- Edited
It sucks they decide to silence people trying to give genuine suggestions. I havent been offensive, I havent acted angry and out of place, yet they still do something like this. Seems like they genuinely do not care about us.
Well, here we are... Im a long time reader on the website via pc. I use the app when Im out and about as well. Unfortunately with the change to the website version, pc reading is now completely dead. You cant install the app on pc, so now I have to read on a tiny phone screen sitting on the floor with my short charger cable. Most pc readers are not willing to do this. So what ends up happening is a vicious cycle of 'readers leaving -> less views for authors who then also leave -> readers having less stories to read so they also leave -> authors get even less views and they leave -> ...' It will just keep going like this untill Webnovel is well... dead. We readers and authors alike dont want to see this happen. We hope this change can be reverted before the damage is done. If it doesnt then we will be forced to find other sites to read novels and when we do finally decide to leave it will be too late for any changes to undo the damage.
