Why did he have to charge money to read novels? A VIP? depressed

Online novels were usually charged because the content of the novel required production, editing, proofreading, updating, and so on. These costs were not paid directly by the readers but shared by the author and the website. Therefore, the fees that readers had to pay were actually to support the author and the operation of the website. The VIP system was usually used to encourage readers to continue reading novels and to provide higher security and quality of service. VIP readers could enjoy better prices, more free chapters, faster updates, and other privileges. Of course, there were some novels that were free, but usually the quality of these novels was not as good as paid novels and there might not be a VIP system. If you want to read high-quality novels, it is recommended to choose the paid mode.
