Dear lovely readers,
This chapter is dedicated to giving you information on everything you need to know about W E B N O V E L and books published here. From chapter pricing, publishing update, privilege, etc, etc.
If you have any questions on how the site works, feel free to write down your questions here and I will answer them.
FIRSTLY GOING PREMIUM
Going premium means this book is contracted by webnovel and will be locked in a later chapter, chapter 42 to be exact. You can unlock the chapters by fast passes which you can obtain for free everyday, or you can unlock premium chapters by using coins which you can buy from your Profile page.
If you want to and you can afford to support me and this book financially, you can unlock by using coins.
COIN PRICING
If you are new to the site, this is how the premium chapters will be priced:
120 words = 1 coin, and 1 coin is worth $0.02 (two cents US dollar)
That means the longer the chapters, the more coins needed to unlock them. For 1200 word chapter, the price will be 10 coins, 2000 word chapters are worth 16 coin, and so on.
FYI: Author cannot publish a premium chapter if the word count is less than 1000 words, but it's almost impossible to keep the word count at exactly 1k (9 coins), so most times premium chapters are a minimum of 10 coins (1001-1200)
Well, out of these coins that a book earns, the author will get 35%, minus 5% tax. The other 65% I'd divided between Google/Apple (as app store providers) and W E B N O V E L.
HOW MUCH AN AUTHOR ACTUALLY EARNS?
An author gets around 30% of what their novels earn. From a chapter that costs 10 coins, only 3 coins will go to the author. It's not really much considering 1 chapter takes 1-4 hours to write (depending on the author's health, inspiration, research, etc)
But the more readers unlock the chapters using coins, the more money an author could make. So... please open the locked chapters with coins if you wish to support me and this novel.
FAST PASSES
If you cannot afford to unlock the chapters with coins, but want to read it, you can unlock using fast passes everyday for free.
Just go to your PROFILE TAB and click REWARD button on the top left.
You can do the daily mission to get fast passes. You can get them by doing:
1) daily check-in
2) vote power stone for the book you like
3) vote energy stone for translation book on the trial pool
I hope someday you will be blessed abundantly so you can support content creators that you like with coins.
Unlike content creators on the streaming platform like YouTube, for example, writers on digital writing platform don't get any income from ads, we solely rely on the kindness of our readers.
NEXT PRIVILEGE
Now, this is another thing that many new readers find confusing.
Okay, let's talk about PRIVILEGE + RELEASE RATE + MASS RELEASE
Privilege works like P A T R E O N for W E B N O V E L. It's a way for readers to support the books and content creators they like by giving them monthly support in the form of a privilege subscription, readers will get exclusive access to early chapters according to the level of support they show.
NOTE: IT'S NOT MANDATORY TO SUBSCRIBE TO PRIVILEGE. Only if you like the book and want to support the Author or the book.
Once you buy privilege, you will get early access to 2, 5, or 10 advance chapters AHEAD OF REGULAR READERS (depending on the tier you purchase). So, if the regular readers are in chapter 100, you will be in 102, 105, 110 depending on the privilege tiers you have.
This privilege must be renewed each month if you wish to stay ahead. If not you can just wait until privilege chapters become regular chapters.
My privilege for this book is starting from February 2023, the pricing will be:
Tier 1 (1 coin with access to 2 advanced chapters)
Tier 2 ( 50 coins with access to 5 advanced chapters)
Tier 3 ( 500 coins with access to 10 advanced chapters)
Privilege is not mandatory, it's just a way to support the Author and the book.
RELEASE RATE
To make money, an author has to write more chapters everyday since there will be many chapters available for purchase.
I know I have been publishing once a day and skipping some day since I was quite busy, but after this goes premium, I promise to work my a$$ off this book and make it worthy of your support.
If you have anything to ask about this site, it the book, feel free to write your questions in the comment. I will reply to them.
Okay, that's all, thanks.
I got this information from one of my favorite authors in this site, "Missrealitybites" I really love her books.
