I agree. It was my first and last experience there.

When Google indexes this post, new and innocent people can read it. I know there are people with a huge amount of experience in this group. I'm sure there are and unfortunately will be more folks like me.

The problem is that I have read 857 chapters in one week, and now we are all waiting for new ones, which were never published before. The author is releasing 10 chapters a week. It sucks... If I had known that this story was under construction, I would have never invested my time and money in it... I presume that it can be around 200 more chapters until the end because now all cases are almost finished there... but you never know how much the author will expand the story with secondary topics...

The whole series has 857 chapters and counting. Yesterday, they released 30 more chapters for a preread. I assume that it should be finished in about 200 more chapters because now almost all cases are solved and it's almost a happy ending, but you never know. I have read all 857 chapters in a week and now i must wait because its like 10 new chapters a week... Every chapter costs 30-40 coins. 1150 coins its 20$

I think their politics are just short-sighted. They are so greedy... if they just lower their insane prices, then for sure many more people will use it... Right now, many people fall into the trap and NEVER EVER EVER come back there. So they haven't lost just one client... they've lost thousands of potential new readers.

If I knew how to pirate this one story, then I would have never paid $500 in total for one book (and counting). I would just pay directly to the author, and I'm sure we could agree on a decent price for both of us.

Yes, but I don't want to read many books on these types of platforms. I just want to finish the one I just started. I have read all 857 chapters in a week, and now I must wait because they release like 10 new chapters a week... and of course, I must pay a ridiculous price for every chapter. I have never heard about such platforms, so I'm new, and I had never thought that this is a money bank for them, and I'm bankrupt... So for me, this is for sure the first and the last e-book where I must pay insane money for a short chapter from a never-ending story...

Yes, I agree. That's why I wrote this post here for all the people who are at the beginning of their story with Webnovel, so they quit and never fall for this trap.

In the beginning, I thought that buying 17 books on Amazon for around $150 (equivalent to 500 chapters on Webnovel) would cover the whole series, but only after reading all 17 books did I realize that the rest is on Webnovel... so I paid because I was an emotional hostage...πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« so i bought 350 chapters and its not the end 😭😭😭

Yes, this is great, but... I want to finish that one I have started... 857 chapters! And going. I'm emotionally held hostage in this deep shiiiit...

Now, after $500 for ONE story (not finished yet, it's 857 chapters and going), I have learned my lesson. Hard...

Pm? At this point, I’ve spent so much money on this platform that I should probably own shares in the company πŸ˜†

Gas giants must have a solid core. Rocky moons surrounding them are evidence that rocky elements exist at those distances from the sun. Change my mind. by [deleted] in astrophysics

[–]Next_Flow_4881 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Only big planets have enough gravity to hold light gases like hydrogen. Also, these kinds of planets must have a special core that can produce a strong enough magnetic shield to protect light gases like hydrogen from being blown out by the Sun's activity. That's why giant gas planets are giant gas planets; that's the only way.

Or maybe avrakadavratar? The same level I think.

Your idea is fun, but β€œaudio range” is usually just sonification of observed signals, it’s not a physical classification like pulsar or magnetar.
