    Eh?

    Premium was code for "give us your moneys", right?

    Why does this sound like Tapread is following in the footsteps of Qidian?

    How is premium going for qidian? Judging by the way their exclusive novels are left unfinished and without regular updates, it is hard to see how they are managing, this microtransaction model might work in China, but the rest of the world hates it. Tapread will go the same way, they should switch to subscriptions instead.

    Barely 3 or 5 percent users pay for novels.

    This is as expected . You cannot do business without charging money. Hopefully they will not gobble up all good raw novels and pressure other novel translation sites to submission.(Thats what we hated Qidian for)

    yes and tons of people believe they dont make money from ads.

    it's also fun how they decided to not care about original authors despite how the button saying that you can write original stories on their site is still there

    They can't make as much as spirit stones from 3 to 5 percent people can get them than ads from 70 percent people
