If it is $50, I might just pay for the SS and limit my novels. At least I would have an unlocked version.

i don't want to buy ss in case the subscription comes back and I am left holding the SS to just donate
I don't see them doing anything before April 28 as that is when all current subscriptions would end.
I know webnovel is talking about drop in money going to the author but one thing they don't cover is we are technically "leasing" the chapter with subscription, if our subscription ends the chapter is gone(locked again), with ss we buy the chapters so even if I run out of all my ss, the old chapters that i bought for ss is visible to me. You can never get the same upfront money in leasing as buying. I think Webnovel is trying to get the same or better cash flow in leasing the chapters than buying, i don't know how that would work.
These guys recommended people to donate their ss as they have no use for it with subscription but now it seems the readers who donated their ss are out of pocket. My guess is webnovel with get more analytics for next month or 2 and reveal a new plan based off this. I plan to cut down my reading by a lot. I was spending more than $50 a month, I added couple of other books and now I would probably spend close to $70 + if I read them all.
Is there a new plan coming up. I don't follow these forums and am disappointed that you guys did not email elite subscribers about these changes. I happened to stumble on to this by accident. I was gifting my SS as I had elite subscription. I was paying less a month on subscription than novels, i was saving some money. I hope a new plan shows up and hopefully affordable and not ridiculously priced.
- In SS issue
I was in shock. I had over 3000 ss, thanks for this information. Waiting to read the new chapters, I guess need to wait till tomorrow
