Absolute Choice
4.1
A world filled with heroes with superpowers. A world attacked by calamity fiends. A modern world filled with wonders and dangers. Shi Xiaobai, a child from normal Earth, walked into such a world, proclaiming to be its king. But at the first signs of danger, he is forced to make a choice, one which he cannot refuse for time would repeat, making him face the choice again. He is not humble nor is he modest, but neither is he delusional. Yet, the Absolute Choice seems to make fun of him. Will the joke be on him or will he laugh at his opponents? There will be many watching his escapades, and there will be some joining him in his adventures. To see through the world and to grasp its truth, that is the destiny of the King.

The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism
4.4
In the rural northeastern mountainous regions stands a tiny Buddhist temple, named One Finger Temple. It isn't a large one but it is extremely miraculous. The temple has rice that emanates an aromatic fragrance. The temple has sweet and refreshing water that rivals ambrosia. The temple has Buddhas that grant wishes to the sincere. The temple isn't large but it has everything. The temple isn't large but it has flourishing incense offerings that far exceed all temples. The temple isn't large but it attracts both citizens and foreigners that line up overnight… The temple has a bald but handsome monk. Every day, he would bawl, "I want to renounce asceticism! I want to marry a chick that's not too pretty, have a cute baby, and lead a stable life!" This book is a casual novel that introduces various Chinese traditional customs, as well as Buddhist ones. It strives to be a positive book, allowing people to reflect on how they should live their lives and treat others.

Jqur: You earn part of say the 2500 SS spent not the normal to unlock the actual chapters? if so are you able to say what percentage.

Jqur: According to another author on webnovel, the translator sees none of the money from the actual payment for privilege.

Nighterfield: Well, the rank of this novel is going down. It seems this whole privilage drama has more effects that I expected
I wonder if the +1 bonus chapter for each rank under 17 is still working at this pointLord of the Mysteries · C404
lindatan90: It's a grammar mistake. The translator always uses past tense in the story regardless of the situation. There are many times when present tense should be used instead especially during conversation. Can't complain much though. His translation is quite good here compared to others.

Zoruakun: Nah, the spirit stone price is a dead horse, everyone already knows how it works, wasnt ranting about that, I feel like its fair to the translators to not be able to manipulate SS price so they dont make it hard for themselves if they lower (less money) or lose popularity by raising/not lowering. The point of the rant was about how they forcefully and slowly remove our free sources of income and substitute it with something useless to make you think you earned something and suppress outcry by saying "you can help the community with your power stone, dont be so selfish".
Pretty bad example I thought about inflating prices through income (the character is a child):
There are three candies you like that cost 30, 40 and 60 cents respectively. Your dad gives you 1 dollar and 50 cents per week, so you can afford to eat them without much worries about saving up or anything. Suddenly, dad implements a new rule: "If you havent spent the money I give you within a week, I will take it away from you". He has taken away all of our savings as well as the possibility of ever saving up again and we can do nothing about it. He starts lowering it through the months and stops the fall at 70 cents. Technically you can still buy any of the candies, but not with the same freedom or in the same amount anymore.
Tl;dr Yes, you can have inflation with fixed prices if you can manipulate the income of the consumers, thats why qidian is being slimy, the translators/authors have nothing to do with this, just the qidian staff.Lord of the Mysteries · C400
Ehbon: But it’s not like that’s going to stop anyone from doing the exact same thing that’s already being done, privileged just costs spirit stones. As long as they can see the chapters it’d be pretty easy to copy them, especially since there’s a download chapter feature on the app! Also the prices are outrageous, not that Qidian has ever had good prices but still...
Lord of the Mysteries · C401
SRandom: But it is an instruction to find the adorer and believer, which has not been found yet...
Lord of the Mysteries · C401
Of course, these will all be explained in a later chapter. View More
Randompasserby: Wait how did Lovia get the complete Honorary name for The Fool? I need to check the previous chapters but wasn't it just Amon who eavesdropped on Derricks ritual prayer?
Lord of the Mysteries · C401
Ehbon: Seems they want to force you to download their app if you want to read the ‘privileged’ chapters. They’ve gone the route of restricting what you can see on the normal site because the app isnt good enough on its own to get downloads. Why am I not surprised...
Lord of the Mysteries · C401
SRandom: Translator, shouldn't the divine epiphany be `find the fool...` rather than `found...`?
Lord of the Mysteries · C401
N0xiety: I know that it is pointless to argue with you, but i will still say my piece;
Doesn't matter how much. I can't argue with you from the point of value as i can't know the value if Webnovel doesn't make the info public. And i doubt even you know the exact ammount, as they really have no need to disclose such information to a translator like you, unless you have some insider friends. Anyways, my problem isn't about its value, my problem is YOU keep talking about free ss as if it is worthless, and i just proved to you it isn't. It may be worthless to you and authors since Webnovel doesn't give you a part of the pie, however big that pie may be, but it isn't worthless. Free ss have a value, free readers have a value, however much it may be. They aren't worthless, or they wouldn't be here in the first place. It is yours and authors problem if Webnovel isn't giving you any part of it. Just stop talking as if free ss, and thus free readers are worthless. That is my problem with you...Lord of the Mysteries · C400
BookReaderZe: Damnit I payed for all 50 chapters before I realized that you have to pay extra for individual chapters 😡😡 I reread the info again and we can only read up to a month after that it locks again. So mad right now. Why 😭😭

N0xiety: Duplicate accounts also create ad revenue tho? And it really doesn't matter even if they didn't. From a math point of view, all Webnovel needs to do is divide the total ad revenue with the total number of free ss spent that month. There you go, then distribute the money according to that to authors. Ofc, you could say that an author may abuse the system with spamming accounts and giving himself ss, but that still doesn't change the fact that he needs to watch ads with all those accounts and also get into the chapter to unlock, thus also viewing ads again. What is the difference between a bot account and real account? They do the same actions in the end. So the ad revenue will still come, even from duplicate accounts. And if Webnovel doesn't want that to happen, there are pretty easy precautions they can take to deter authors or users from creating thousands of accounts for whatever reason. It may be impossible to stop completely, but it is easy to make it a very unpleasant and timely process even for a bot program. There is always a solution to problems, you just need to look for them instead of just saying there is a problem CKtalon. And i honestly don't think you aren't smart enough to come to this same conclusion. No, you definitely are. But ofc, taking the problem to Webnovel would be alot harder than to just refute the logical conclusion of us readers...

Kotylion: Theres no such thing as "Free SS". How much is quite low btw?
Lord of the Mysteries · C400
agnidawala: At first qidian gave us free chapters..
Then change to unlocking chapter with watching ads..
After that, qidian began charged us with SS..
The required SS per chapters thus increased..
Now there are stockpile chapters with a very high price..
I'm really afraid of where this will end.. I really hope this priviledged chapter thingy won't change the release rate of this novel..Lord of the Mysteries · C400

thessypabayo: So this is the last chapter,how could I read again if I don't have 400'stones above,I don't have money to buy that purchase priveledge, omg,I'm only students...so this is goodbye to this novel...
The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage · C289
ScottyForsythe: Thank you translator:) I probably won't ever buy privileges because I'm currently just a college student with no job, but I appreciate your hard work. All my spirit stones go to this story and I'll continue to read the 1-2 chapters per day. Thanks again.
Lord of the Mysteries · C400
zerodissolver: I've been supporting this series with all mine and my armies stones since probably the first week this novel released in this platform. I might probably resort to "pirate" site with this fiasco called privilege chapters
Lord of the Mysteries · C400
Zoruakun: Tsk tsk, qidian has already shown their true faces as mercenaries a long time ago. It was just implemented as sneakily as possible to have the least amount of backlash and people get used to the new status quo. Like how we had spirits stones that expired in double the current time and we lost them all of a sudden when they decided they wanted to cut it in half. And what passed me as the most sneaky, bastard, subtle, tiptoey **** (this privilege thing is just a slap on the face, nothing subtle about that) was how they slowly removed daily rewards so you would grow dependent on buying spirit stones to get access to new chapters (thankfully the consistence of most stories arent that great to begin with so I decided to stick with just this one and R:EFN, the latter whose author hibernates occasionally, leaving the situation pretty manageable even with the sneakiness). In the past you would get a random amount that used to be from 7 (if you were pretty unlucky) to around 13, I guess. Now, you need to have some pretty good luck to get anything besides 5 spirit stones with exp included (which is literally useless after obtaining energy and power stones), two power stones which is much worse, or standard 8 spirit stones that arent worth a chapter (and if my memory doesnt betray me, you can also only get exp). Before, you could hog a pile of spirit stones and spend it in many chapters, now you are lucky if you arent getting whittled down by the ****ty daily draws.
Rant over, Tl;dr qidian folks are sneaky bastards that lull people into a sense of security just to stab them in the back afterwards.Lord of the Mysteries · C400
Aby55: Great Q. Will I still get a new ch evry morning and night? Or will I hit the end of the stockpile and nothing new for a while?
