    Not supporter, I just like to read novels. Other than that I don't care abt anything else. If the novel is good why waste time over drama?

    While I have no proof about whether it is an MTL (nor do I care since I don't read their releases), isn't it the reason why their releases doesn't reflect at NU?

    _____There is a planet far away on the edge. On this planet is a life form. It sleeps, it eats the tall golden grass. It does nothing else, it just takes up space, eating, sleeping--millions of them. You can't eat them, they do nothing to interact with the other life forms on the planet. The locals on the planet call them dongo's, something there but useless.
    _____On the planet, there is a boy, this boy tries hard to overcome his birth defect of crippled hands. Some of the others call him a dongo, and believe he will never be anything else. They feel good seeing a boy they can always defeat without effort; making sure to laugh and poke the boy every chance they get. Yet, the boy works hard, it's painful, yet over time he finds a way. There are others on the planet, those who just watch; Some with eyes, learn to love him, finding that he makes them want to do more, be more. Others with eyes, learn to hate him, they want to drag him back to being a dongo. Some just close their eyes and see nothing at all.

    Bro just say it don't preach it. Get to the point. I have a small brain so don't take offence I won't listen. Besides its my opinion, don't need to get worked up over it.

    if you don't want paywall on Qidian than start clicking on the ads goddamit, I don't want them earning money but I don't want to pay for it either.

    So JUST GODDAMN CLICK ON THE ADS

    webnovel.com

    click on the ad everytime you see one, it decreases the chance of them putting up a pay wall

    Or encourage them that a paywall is viable...

    I don't understand your reasoning

    but if you don't click on it, they won't earn much, compared to actually clicking on the ads

    If they planned a paywall from the start (and i'm pretty sure they did), clicking or not clicking an ad won't change anything

    Encouraging people to click on ads might prove to be detrimental instead because it will indicate to Qidian that they are willing to click ads for what they got for free before. And that is more or less a step away from implementing paid subscriptions later on.

    As much money as they're spending and you really think ad revenue is going to cut it? :hmm:

    In a community where people don't want paywalls yet dislike advertisements as well, it certainly sounds like paywalling is the way to go. :hmm:
