Piokilek On Patreon you support a team (or what looks like a team), On WebNovel you support a company (that looks like a company). You pay WebNovel and their chapters get translated, you aren't really supporting the author at all using this, if you really wanted to support the author and get the chapters you could go to the Chinese website and get it there, oh but you'll still be paying the big company WebNovel since they are owned by the Chinese Site anyways they changed their name from Qidian sometime ago, Probably a controversy or something who knows. also I remember that the "original novel" system was quite scummy, but i'm probably wrong considering what they've already done

Eventually this will turn into finally paying to read chapters, not like it's already happening. First everything was free to read, then you had to watch an ad, then you had to pay spirit stones for only a couple novels, then new chapters had you pay spirit stones for you to read more, then every novel had you paying spirit stones, then chapters that used to be free cost spirit stones.

Also @Piokilek you seem to be copy pasting your argument a bit, So I'll follow suit and copy you.

Piokilek Also the "Nothing will change" Fun Fact: Premium used to be that you would get chapters in advance if you paid spirit stones, as well as free chapters, Now it's happening again, You pay what you're already paying to get your chapters as well as an extra cost to get more chapters! s/ Isn't it great that you get more chapters! Don't worry this won't become the norm. We swear! /s

That went away fast.

Patreon works are fine since you don't have to pay to read in the first place, WebNovel just keeps upping what you have to pay until they find the bottom line.
