    So the translator of Strongest System implemented a new chapter lock system on his work so that now you can't watch an add to see, not sure if it's temporary or its fixed that way now but feels like the start of something readers won't like. Opinions on this?

    Maybe those are premium chapters?

    It's only a temp lock, chapters are relesed as normal then older ones are unlocked on the regular times.

    I am going to have to agree with pocketchu that this story is probably about to become a premium chapter story

    looks like it went premium.
    ultimately they will plan to make all their novel that way

    Today TSS became a premium novel.
    I think the release rate for unlocked chapters will be 1/day like the others premium novels(not sure)

    I read it just didn't really went into it too deeply. So now there is a new system in place called premium? I see, kinda of a bummer since before you could still read em if you watched an add. Just read Library of Heaven's update and it also had a similar interface so I guess is not just for Strongest System. Cultivation Chat Group had the normal one where you watch an add though so maybe it's not gonna be that way for all the novels up there. Still guess the change just doesn't sit as well with me, yes I can wait until the chapter are unlocked by themselves but the temptation is there, kinda like loot boxes in gaming, you don't really NEED them but they are there and are convenient. Guess it always felt slimy for me when people give a convenient way of doing something but lock it behind a not so convenient wall. But this is all just my opinion.

    Really you think this is the next phase on the website's system? Gotta say it's always been a worry of mine since they started talking about paywalls, and this seems like an early prototype of that.

    And that might advance to P2R chapter.

    its not translators decision. also this is the way qidan is trying to go to gain money back. currently they seem to be net-negative in cash

    The translator has already told the readers about this on February 22nd on Patreon IIRC. The decisions aren't really left to the translators, as they aren't allowed to post chapters on their Patreon anymore once their translations go premium, and being in premium cuts down a lot in terms of revenue because of the loss of Patreon support.
