    (Can't reply to spoilers? Ugh.)

    And I guess you don't realize that a company without customers quickly goes out of business, but hey, if you can't see that then why should I try and convince you otherwise?

    Also you misinterpreted my previous posts. =]


    The community = Everyone who reads any translated novel available on NU (I'd say otherwise but this pertains to NU)

    Vast Majority = People who do not use NUF for whatever circumstances, while might not holding views with the vocal minority may also not hold views which align with the vocal majority

    Majority = (Probably should've been more clear) is the Vocal Majority

    Minority = People who are a part of the community but hold views which differ from the Vocal Majority, vocal minority?

    Even then though, unless you're tallying people you can't say who's who. However in this thread I'd count as a vocal minority who is trying to help the vast majority. :D

    noone decides that, it's a bot. I don't know whats in gravity x Qids contract, but i am guessing gravity will upload all or some of their chapters on their own site, to get a bit of traffic, or for other reasons not known to me

    this not a paywall. what you call a paywall is like calling a Free to play MMORPG a paywall because you either have to grind something for free or pay to have it faster.

    You have to watch a ad for free chapters or pay to have it faster. Do you still live with your parents cause your reasoning is like a 4 year old.

    you pay more for useless books in college, why complain about paying for something you actually enjoy, especially since we aren't even forced to pay yet, you can wait for the next release or just watch a 15 second ad.

    I have no problems with ads myself, if I had something to complain about it be those ads that are greater than 30 seconds, I don't see how all of you guys get 8 seconds ones >.>, Just going to stack my Qi novels.

    The deal with translators is they release on QI first then one day after on their personal website. So the RSS bot is picking up that GT is updating and it grabs it onto Nu front page even though QI already released it on NU front page.

    Shhh.. Once you read novels, there's no turning back. Your whole life will now revolve around it and it'll be your whole world. Nothing will be more important than it, even your own logic and reasoning will be useless :blobowoevil::blobowoevil::blobowoevil:

    Hey idiot, please search some info first before spewing poop . 2 chapters within recent updated chapters are called "bonus chapters"(some novels don't even have "bonus chapters"), and you're required to watch an ad(can switch to other tab, not required to watch ad directly) before unlocking the "bonus", or you skip the ad via paying [Spirit Stone], for members only and not real cash.

    QI is kind enough to give leeway to others, and this is all they get, some raging lunatics and people who shouts "end is near".

    P.S. Your name and the "sect" really suits you, noob.

    @oliver yes! let's support an outdated business model! let's drop what we have and go back to the middle ages! You can entertain yourself building mud castles while you wait for the handwritten books to arrive.

    So I tried to read Release That Witch and saw that qidian was forcing me to watch a 1 minute ad before reading that chapter and every one after that. I am so fucking upset with them after they poached so many novels I enjoyed reading (IM TALKING ABOUT THAT GOOD STARTUP Legend of the Great Saint) and now they fucking are making me watch ads to read the chapters. I wish to discuss this with other people who don't like this. Please let us discuss in depth our thoughts in the comments below.

    you mean this one?
    How is this business model outdated? is he refering to how news websites try to force ads on people coming ot read stories? I still think some do still do that.
    This adwall isn't even that bad.. Just wait a day, Switch tabs, stockpile and read once a week. Do the last resort and use adblock to get around it and force a paywall later. I mean there are options he has dunno why he would respond like that lol.
