    cant really remember it but wasnt there a post or something on NU that stops QI from updating links that requires stones to unlock?, right now throne of magical arcana is at about 130 with the rest till 320+ requiring stone but its all still updated in the NU link.
    one of the reason i even bother trying that novel was cuz i saw the amount of chapters on NU......ended up all being lie...
    at this rate wont all QI post on NU be paid to read without us knowing at the start??

    Damn. Glad i started stocking up on spirit stones a while ago. The daily grind is fairly annoying.

    If the chapters are really locked, them, they locked it recently because until a few days ago chapter 324 was unlocked.

    QI just changed it. They're locking all previous free chap. Just wait for NU to update theirs too.
    Glad that you choose to spend it on chapters that were previously free just hours ago. Qidian must be sooo happy to see you waste all that SS

    there was an announcement previously that Qi will start locking all their novels this month onwards - I might be wrong there though ..

    They've already been doing it, you're probably referring to TGIF 24 23. I'll go find the link to that.

    In the past, you often wished for us to do mass releases, but after a mass release, you end up wishing for discounts and free SS. Therefore, we have decided to do something unprecedented! We will be fully unlocking the Premium chapters of two completed books for two weeks, allowing you to finish reading both books for free!

    Readers of MMORPG: Rebirth of the Legendary Guardian and Mr. CEO, Spoil me 100 Percent!, you do not need to keep waiting endlessly! You can finally read both books to the end in one go! Please use the available time to read as you wish! The reason being that we will lock all the Premium chapters two weeks later and will no longer have the daily unlocking mechanism for these two books. So glue yourselves to Webnovel for the next two heavenly weeks and finish reading the two books!

    the bot scans for locked/unlocked chapters only for several times per day, not at every cycle (which is 5-7 per hour, depending on amount of releases from all other translators). so it might takes anywhere from immediate to few hours before the changes on webnovel.com are reflected

    btw, throne of magical arcana already had the locked chapters removed from view few minutes ago

    The chapters of Throne of Magical Arcana are not locked behind stones, they are locked behind ad-walls. Ad-walled chapters can be posted on NU. Only Premium novels are have chapters that are truly locked behind stone-walls, such as Lord Xue Ying or Swallowed Star,TOMA is not one of them.

    A problem I've been having, is that adwalled chapters on QI require me to create an account to view them, which I don't have
    As such the chapters aren't adwalled for the general reader (locked) but only for people signed in on QI

    Qi bots drop one thread (post) about QI with account made in 2016 and after dropping it they go offline. Like they don't care about replies. So their profiles show that the last activity and last time seen are the same. This is like 99% method to see if someone is a bot. In other cases you shouldn't be as fast to jump to conclusion

    not purely adwall anymore, last time i checked. you'll need to be logged-in before even allowed to play the ads. it evolves to account-only plus adwall now.

    therefore, those 'adwall' are no longer listed, until they're 'fully free'

    Ppl should stop voting for the novels in qi. The higher the vote the most chance for them to be stone locked.
