    Never paid a cent, but I can see that I've been accumulating experience and leveling up just by reading every day. No idea how you're only getting 1 SS a day when I average around 8 for checkin + 10 for voting.

    Well, the only premium series I read is RTW, so I haven't tried. Seems like it'd be mighty annoying to remember to check in every day from a different account though.

    That goes back to the fine line thing. How much should you charge for a webnovel? I typed that into google and you know what the first result was. Qidans discussions on what to charge. The problem comes in to when is it fair and new business practice and when is a racket? how do we tell? Qidan is basically stating this is a business practice and we think its fair to charge this deal with it. While the rest of us flounder over it. Since its international we there no real court case or anywhere to rebuttal basically except here.

    You can set your Webnovel app as a dual app to make things easier with managing the account.

    Yeah, well I opened the calculations and tl;dr BUT what I pay for books is a 10/month kindle unlimited subscription. .. and that's it. So I'm willing to pay about 25 cents per book. I can read 2 or 3 books a day.

    And they said they would never paywall... oh those funny days.
    We all knew how scummy they were.
    Edit: and from what I've heard, you pay for spirit stones that expire... how does that even work? Are they shit-heads?

    Now this is an advice I can follow. :D
    Having a huge backlog of novels to be read or to catch up, I see no reason to stay up to date by doing the spirit stones game.

    At least for hidden marriage I've read the spoiler thread. So I'm in no rush to finish the novel. I'm saving my stones for Trial Marriage. That novel I have no idea what's going on. The author's other novel on Qidian also has a pretty in depth spoiler thread. So if you're only into those novels, then I recommend reading those threads (the chapters are pretty much translated "roughly" but sill very understandable). And saving your stones until the story gets farther ahead.

    Hidden Marriage isn't even really worth it right now to me as the story hasn't really hit the major point yet.
