ye well those who dont pay are still needed because of the ad revenue .And i can tell you i pay quite abit to read and quite often but im still pissed off at this shitty update because fast passes are useless. Im supporting them as it is and they slap my face with this shit .You can only open 3 chapters a day with fast pass while when it was in ss i could do up to 5 cuz all bonuses combined were depending on luck up to 25 ss . I like the little rewards and dislike stingy companies very much. As for those who dont pay .
I agree with you on the following :
Yes authors will be hard pressed to offer could quality and translators , good translations because i have seen some horrible stuff. On this i 100% agree there is potential.
I agree that readers will be stricter too and yes in the end those who want to read will buy anyways.
But seriously i like little gestures when i spend money and the free spirit stones were a nice gesture and helped me supplement my stones a little . this pass thing is shit
And second , do not underestimate free users . Like i said before the revenue of coins wont be enough , ads are a big money maker and the free users bring traffic to the application . With 5 M free users your application will get 500 times the revenue of 500 k paying users.
I know im just 1 guy , and this is my opinion too which other may not share or agree with , i also know these shit heads from webnovel dont listen or do shit ever , But on the off chance i just want to say webnovel you are on thin ice with me.
