Then di the free spirit stone thing, it would help to temper you as you would learn the great quality of patience and self control like this kitty has.
Trust me it's not even worth it, i used spirit stones to read ahead and now every time a 'new' chapter gets posted on NU it's a major dick tease as i've already read it and now i have to spend like two weeks for it to catch up again up to the point i got. At which point they might do the same premium thing again, so you keep spending. (unlike Patreon where you spend to STAY ahead of current public chapters.)

See they got you hooked. Release lots of chapters then suddenly announce premium and cut free chapter rates in half.
Not really worth it unless you willing to spend it all the time or else when one day you stop spending you have to wait for a long time especially some novel that several chapter ahead with ss ( some more then week to catch up )
'Shadow hack' which was supposedly going to have mass releases if enough people voted for it already dropped the ball after a few weeks. I'm assuming you're right and they're now saving up chapters to put up as 'premium'.
why don't risk brain health by consuming the mtled chapters. rather than read premium chapters. or just listen and do those comment above, be patient, it is one of the dao of the lurker isn't it?
