There were so many pirated versions of Qidian novels, so why would anyone still spend money to read the original?
There were many reasons for the existence of pirated novels. For example, the production cost of pirated novels was low. The authors of pirated novels were free. The authors of pirated novels even deliberately produced pirated novels to make money. All of these reasons could lead to an increase in the number of pirated novels. However, despite the existence of pirated novels, many people still chose to spend money to read genuine novels. This was because legitimate novels provided higher quality, more content, a better reading experience, and more security and support. For example, genuine novels usually provided the author's update schedule, comments, recommendations, search functions, etc. to let readers better understand the content of the novel and the author's creation. In addition, the original novel would also provide some additional benefits such as the author's signature, posters, and accessories so that readers could better support their favorite author. In addition, for some people, they might not know about the existence of pirated novels or they might think that pirated novels were of higher quality. These people might spend more money to buy the original novel because they believed that their choice was correct. Although the existence of pirated novels has brought some inconvenience to readers, there are still many people who choose to spend money to read authentic novels because they think that authentic novels provide better service and security.
