healiha webnovel typically takes a 50% cut on paid SS, and authors/translators dont get paid any bonus SS that was used on their novel. so that takes out check-in SS and the bonus SS that comes with buying a large amount of SS.
Since its the same action of buying advance chapters, I'd think its safe to assume they also take 50% on these "privilege" chapters.
CKtalon You say they never intended to hide stuff behind fine print, but they do it all. the. time.
if they actually cared about not accidentally deceiving their customers, they would have paid more attention to that kind of stuff a really long time ago. so is it just absolute ineptitude or...the alternative.
CKtalon :shrug: elite membership was overpriced too, anyways. but i actually liked that system, just thought it was overpriced.
you saying people who think there's value in privilege will pay for it, is true. I just dont see how its different from the advanced chapters webnovel used to have that you only had to pay 4 SS or watch an ad to see, with a big markup.
It looks to me more like webnovel just turned around and said we'll just repackage it as something else and slap a big price tag on it.
and wonderful point to the person above who pointed out that we're paying for online chapters, and we dont actually own the content we pay the privilege to read, unlike where when we buy a book, we own that book forever.
so that's another point as to why the contracted author's assertation that SS isn't expensive is absolute trash/garbage.
qiprivsucks i dont agree that they'll keep chapters open after privileged ends. Thinking optimistically when it comes to qidian never works. but yes, they're definitely moving from minnow/whales to just whales
classic webnovel. what are these assclowns getting paid for LOL
the banner is hella misleading. he doesn't have 6mil followers.
Most: Coming up with the idea
Least: Actually writing it oof.
Honestly wouldn't be surprised if this was actually how some people made their titles.
Bad idea making this forum post lol, it's just gonna be everyone linking their own work, and they probably all suck
But hey, she works for webnovel, so I guess you get what you expect.
It would be GREAT if webnovel did anything about these motherfuckers but I used to hound them them to do something about people using alts and crap to artificially inflate their own novels, to the point where I dmed Dana books of authors that were doing so along with the profiles of all of the alts involved, but she didn't do Jack shit cause she's a stupid little bitch who only cares about money and not about the writers and integrity at all.
Oof, nothing to pull out anymore. At least you have a sense of humor :)
Gamblejay LMAO when the fuck did ever kiss up to any of them? I also never begged for reviews, you retard.
Also, I haven't been in the discord for weeks/months, and I only talk on the forums once every few weeks. So, where the hell are your claims coming from?
I'm doing quite well on Amazon, actually. I have two books out getting me over 500 bucks a month, consistently, which is better than most people. Course, Memory Seal isn't doing too well, but oh well. But that's just pocket money. My actual job is day trading, means I get to work at home and make more money than the average American. Plus, I own my own two bedroom condo in DC at the ripe age of 23. So yeah, I'm pretty confident. Life is good, man.
I mean, sorry. What have you done in your life to lecture me on shit?
All of this could be cleared up if only webnovel were willing to make the contract public so everyone could see for themselves.
Just saying.
YummyDurian Romance novels also have short chapters, its not like they're just cheap, oof.
just means it has 1400 words or less in that chapter.
