Know What You're Getting Into aka Reading Costs



Dear Reader, Let's Talk About Books 

In this day and age, literature has multiple mediums—from the traditionally published books, self-published ones and the web-serial method of posting chapter by chapter. This is an example of a web-serial by the way. We've gone a long way in terms of coming across literature and even more the opportunity for budding authors to start their journey into writing with less barriers.

The Costs Of Reading A Book

We love free things, who doesn't? But you'd certainly don't want to work for free, right? That's why Authors, whether it be someone writing here on the platform or publishing on Amazon or the ones in bookstores—they sell it.

We all have limited time and money, so now's the time to think about it carefully.

Comparing E-Books and WebNovel Expenses

A Full-Length Romance Novel: 50,000-90,000 words

A Full-Length Fantasy Novel: 50,000-150,000 words

How Much? $0.99-$8.99

vs

Web-Series Novel

One Month Daily Updates

1600 words x 30 = 48,000 words

Average Cost per Chapter = 9 coins

9 coins x 30 = 270 coins

Why Read A Novel Via E-Book Form?

They're usually proof-read and edited and you can read the full-book.

They're often stand-alone unless you read a trilogy or series.

Why Read A Web-Series Novel aka WebNovel? (There's Other Platforms Too But You're Here)

The specific tropes and story are something you enjoy and are unavailable in your bookstore.

Top Up Expense

$4.99 = 250 coins

$9.99 = 500 coins

etc.

Author-Sama, Your Book Is More Expensive Than A Novel!

Yikes. Are You Spending More Than $4.99/Month To Read?contemporary romance

How About Getting Fast-Passes?

Fast-Passes Allows You To Read One Chapter For Free For Each Pass! 

How Many Fast-Passes Can You Get?

3 Fast-Passes Daily (Accomplish Missions To Get Them!)

3 x 30 = 90 Fast-Passes in One Month

Does It Mean That You Can Read My Work Entirely For Free? 

YES.

But Your Fast-Passes Does Get Used Up And I Bet You Read More Than One Book.

So Choose Your Books Wisely. (It Doesn't Have To Be Mine)

Should You Use Paid Coins Here?

Toss a coin to this poor Author so they can keep writing instead of getting a 9-5 job?

The Additional Expenses Of Privilege:

Privilege allows you to read the chapters early by paying an additional amount which varies on the Author's discretion. It's similar to Pat-reon and other membership platforms that help support the Creators. After paying Apple and Google, WebNovel and Author split the net income after the expenses. Other Authors say that it nets around 30% of the actual Privilege you've spent.

Privilege gives the chance for an Author to earn at least a living wage or to earn an incredible amount if one is in the top ten Authors. 

I Really Want To Read For Free And I Don't Want To Wait:

Maybe You Can Find Free Books Elsewhere? Seriously, There Are Good Free Books :D
