Webnovel.Forum

Idk I really love the idea of Webnovel. And i need to say i was willing to spend something like 30-50€ for unlimited reading.

I ranked in the top 10 of contributions which is basically who spend the most money, and I did spend 100-200€ per month in the beginning, until they brought out the unlimited premium membership for ~25€ (which they cancelled I think a half year ago, or so), after that I stopped reading on Webnovel for most of the time.

I just came back to see if they changed their prices, but they didn't and that drove me to make this post.

I dont really want to argue about, why they decided to scrap the monthly subscription (unlimited reading) or why it wasn't good for them/author (in webnovels arguments why they decided to scrap it)

I think the prices atm are beyond reasonable, if you want to read more then read 3-5 chapters a day.

I can go deeper into the math, but most of you probably looked at the prices and decided nope no buying this.

100€ = 250 - 450 chapters depending on chapter length

With the novels usually going for 1000+ chapters this is a lot of money and the quality is arguably not as good as most published books (yeah we can argue about that, but not now)

Obviously you can't compare apples to oranges, but for the whole collection of the published game of thrones books (7 I think) with about 70 chapters each, so a little bit under 500 chapters, cost 50€

50€ = 500 chapters

And that are hard copys, not digital.

So you can argue, that webnovel has a higher variety and some books are even better and if I truly want to compare them I should use the top 10 novels average the word count per chapter + price, then do the same with the hard copy books in the fantasy genre. That should probably be more accurate.

But still this is just a rough estimate of how much a chapter is worth and the prices are beyond reasonable, if you want to read more then your daily 3-5 chapters.

So that was my little rant.

Have a wonderful day

PS: I don't mind being proven wrong, but when you do try back it up somehow, so we have something to discuss

Did they add ads again because the revenue was so bad ?

Captain_SoulFox to rip u off, leave this site and don't come back

Pizz if u have the original app u can send it via Bluetooth to friends, I got my version from my little brother, that's why I said u need someone who already has the app to get it (maybe/probably there are other ways), but at least I know that this method works

Got it right after my subscription ran out and I only come here from time to time to check for a few new novels to read

The only thing I would like to have would be the synchronisation between two or more devises, but that's the only bad thing I can say about the app

Try to get the wuxiaworld app from some who has it, if u Google for it the sites are a scam

Just go to pirate sites until they realize they fucked up

I quit webnovel after my subscription ran out, and wait for the pirated stuff I spend probably 750€ on this site and that was because I hoped it can transition to something like netflix

Especially after I saw how coiling dragon changed the translation scene and I hoped webnovel would do it again, but sadly they just dissapointed me

Now that they removed the subscription model, I'm gonna quit and go back to novelupdates, where most translation are either add or patreon supported (yes I know nu just collects the links, they don't translate themself, and it also shows webnovel updates, but I will just exclude them)

Well after the elite subscription was cancelled, yeah
Just wait for the piratet epubs and pdfs and u should be good to go

I'm talking as one of the people who spend 100€ a month on this site, willingly in the beginning, because I wanted to help it grow, until the subscription model is available.
Well now that they cancelling it, I probably go back to novelupdates, exclude webnovels updates and support the novels I like through patreon)
This spiritstone alone model is way to expensive for way to many people (my little brother can't afford it and just go to pirate sites and I can understand him)
I don't know what they thinking and tbh I think their shouldn't be that many premium novels

CKtalon well that subscription is pretty new and tbh I don't think the prices are actually decent, but I'm addicted and got money so ... fck me
at least they only take 25€, instead of 100+€ every 1-2 month

Well that's it
That's the only thing I wanna know

Cuz I set my profil pic
Vertify the email
Set my gender to whatever cuz according to gender studies it's a social construct so it doesn't matter
Set my land to global, because why do u care where I live, u already got my iP ...
Set my motto (baby turtles are the very best )
And I forgot the last shit (i think it was tags or something like that I don't bother checking )

So why am I at 90% ... I did every thing that's there

Shit aint working ... still no update

Android app, and i never cleared my cache
I think god of slaughter was the latest around chapter 500+ it started

I dont know why but a lot of the chapters, i read the past weeks, that are not properly formated in the app (didnt check with the pc site, so dont know if its just lazy editors or if there is something bugged)
Its really annoing to read, i stopped several novels, cuz of this shit
I mean if there is a conversation going on and you actual dont know who is talking and you have to carefully look where a " starts and end
+ who dafuq wanna read a fucking block of text you ......

(I just wrote this while half asllep idc about grammer splelling or other shit, just so atrocious, i forced myself to make a fucking post )
