    I don't want to discuss this here it's off topic, but do you want to be part of the problem or the solution?

    PSST FYI - even if you visit webnovel.com with adblock you are still generating ad revenue for them.

    As far as I can tell, the latest 2 chapters of each series are locked behind advertisements. You can't read the chapter if adblock is enabled and disabling javascript doesn't work either.

    Qidian wants you to watch some video ads first.

    Third party sites are the way to go you won't have to deal with the crap that qidian puts you through to read the chapter that's why I use third party sites to read the novels that are on qidian.

    Its not an adblock related ad. Its literally embeded into the page so adblock is useless.

    There was always something wrong with it. It's too dependent on javascript.

    Should be removed from NU now. Stealing translations and now limiting access.

    They have blocked the last 2 chapters and say that are a bonus for using apps, I was trying to be opeb, seeing the news with gt, but qi continue to do those things. It could at least truly release e extra chapters, instead of something extra they removed existing chapters. I see how they doesn't ask gt opinions, because I don't want to think that gt advised this.

    QI strikes back against aggregators and ww fans. Hits its own supporters in the head in confusion.

    THANK YOU QIUNDERGROUND AND SUPPORTERS OF THAT

    So it begins....

    first an ad wall, soon a paywall.

    Only for the latest, or "bonus chapters" so far... wonder when that'll change.
