    the arguments in this thread seem to have degraded to retardation already.

    ....
    i guess i'll give this a go though, although i'll probably get hate for what i'll say since it involves aggregate sites.

    if a chapter is available to read for free out there regardless of site, especially if origin site has locked chapters behind paywall unreasonably, i personally feel it's okay to talk about said chapter. reason being, the people who aren't gonna buy the chapter won't buy it anyway and will just pirate it once they find it won't ever be free, and so the only people you'll be spoiling in the LCD thread are new people to the fold and if they complain about it, they shouldn't have looked at the thread anyway.

    this was never a problem with TMW, even though the latest chapter was locked behind payway people still talked about every new release both raw and translation, so why is this a big deal now?



    moral of the story? fuck qidian, they fucked up a good thing and made shit way more complicated and greed based than it needed to be. used to be people willing gave translators money because they wanted to, not because they were forced too. we never had to worry about whether we would be able to read the next released chapter. but whatever nothing good lasts forever, always gonna be someone there to mess it up.

    You do realize that I actually support your opinion on that, right?

    I understand what your saying, but forum is to discuss novels not just novel up novels nor is there any rule that says you can only talk about novels from novel up only.
    And if there is a forum that has spoiler there should be a spoiler tag for them available if you decide to ignore the tag at the top then you can only blame yourself.
    plus there are plenty of QI novel that still get updates and have free chapters.

    I'm in favor of allowing free discussion of paywalled - or, at the very least adwalled - chapters in LCD threads. Especially for novels that will no longer be receiving any unlocked chapters. At that point, the discussion is permanently stalled in the LCD thread while people actually reading the novel continue doing so and there's.. well.. no longer any point to the thread.

    While free chapters were still being released, the rule made sense. It no longer does.

    Are NUF suppose to make an exception for QI just because QI decide to stop giving free chapters?
    Are you gonna ruin everyones time and discuss a novel's ending here just because you can pay for those 3000 chapters on paywall ?
    Are you really discussing a paid novel chapters on a free to read novel comunity in public and flaunt your riches here..
    I know Qi are greedy..

    Ooooooo, i though that post is for me

    Yes, before this i though qi spirit stone is similar to patreon, so it is fine to use spoiler tag in lcd. But now qi decide to paywall it.

    Let me fix that
    Are you really discussing a paid novel chapters on a f̶r̶e̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶r̶e̶a̶d̶ novel comunity in public

    Fallunt your riches? I think it is normal to buy novel

    @Tony says it's fine. Discuss away. If the novel isn't receiving free chapters anymore, there's no point leaving the LCD thread stalled by preventing discussion of the locked chapters. We can always revisit the topic if it becomes a problem somehow, anyway.

    they are dozen aggregator sites who had qidian novel and they will always be present and won't disappear as webnovel can't do anything about them,
    even their mother company qidian couldn't do anything about them and you can find the raw of qidian novels in countless sites
