Free novels, bookstores, why do you still charge?
A free novel bookstore usually referred to the online reading platform that provided free novel resources but required a certain amount of payment for a complete reading experience. This model was known as the " free novel + purchase model." The main sources of income for this model included advertising, membership fees, and merchandise sales. Among them, the cost of a reader's service was one of the most important sources of income. Some free novel bookstores would provide different reading experiences and content according to different levels of membership, while some advanced members might receive more benefits and discounts. Although the Free Fictions Bookstore provided free novel resources, they also needed other ways to maintain their operations and profits. Therefore, readers needed to choose a suitable mode and reading platform according to their needs and budget.
