    I always thought it was to prevent aggregator bot

    Edit: Just checked it was just for bonus chapter, those chapter not even released at NU yet something like early access for patrons but instead we got it for free just by watching ads. OP just want more drama

    Not just that, you have to actively disable Adblock if you want to watch the ad, making Adblock that annoying friend crashing on your couch for days on end, eating your snacks, even tho he got his own place.

    Tho tbh in this case he is still protecting you from feeding QIDIAN admoney.

    This is pissing me off
    Viki does exactly the same
    I can't believe I came out of hiding for this shit :blobpeek:
    Mods should lock this kind of threads
    Have you all been living under a rock for the past few years?
    And viki does not even pay their translators, they are true fan translators

    I dont mind the ads since they are bonus chapters and not sponsored or regular ones

    As I said, some of them are significantly longer than 7 seconds.

    The longest I have seen currently is wait 30s to skip. That's over 4x as long as your 7 seconds.

    Ok, I just found out what you are talking about.

    Well, it's either this and if it doesn't work we will probably get paywall. I can't say I am surprised.

    That's not the point. I was replying to your 7 seconds comment. To which you assumed I was too blind to see the skip option. So I replied to that. I know it's a bonus chapter.

    I was hoping that the ads will stay the same since that is probably the only reason I prefer QI over other usual chinese novel site, but I guess that ends today.

    I noticed that I didnt get something like this on my phone though? Is it pc browser only?
