First and foremost you're economic situation takes precedent. And 2 most reader only choose to hate the author/novel because they go premium too early or the characters/setting aren't defined enough. You on the other hand have a well developed story with great characters. I wouldn't have minded if you had gone premium a bit earlier in all honesty.
I feel so full of fluff after reading this chapter. And are you kidding me? People dropping this novel just because of premium when they can use their tickets and spirit stones instead? Wait till the Yandere Sect catches whoever drops this novel because of something like that, I promise it won’t be pretty.
I have absolutely no problems with premium. I do detest privileged chapters but even then I don't mind when authors have it (I just won't use it). Also as a warning, I wouldn't rely on profits from this site in order to make ends meet irl. I don't know how much they actually pay premium authors but from my limited understanding, it's pretty low. You don't get paid for fast pass unlocks and even the % you get from paid coins are low. Anyways good luck out there. Hope everything works out for you. 🙂
Thanks for the chapter. I don't mind you going premium if it helps you. But you should reconsider your decision as webnovel does not give much to authors. Instead I advice you to make a patreon account. You can just put advanced chapters for your patreons and those who want to read advanced chapters or want to support you can become your patreons. This may be slow in the beginning but you will be the sole owner of your work but I don't think that is the case in working for webnovel. The final decision is yours but I still request you to please reconsider your options. Whatever you choose I will still read your book to the end.
As much as I hate spending coins, this book is worth it. It's the only one I have ever truly enjoyed from the bottom of my heart and to show what grattitude I can I will pay for these chapters when I can. So thank you, for being the best author you can be, and for making my day so often where other books can not.
