Regretfully dropping RtW. The story, the character, the world is super awesome but all ruined by the qidian system. The daily spirit stone won't be able to sustain RtW and other stories. In the long run, it will be worse as free user will have 0 SS and no way to read anymore. In the beginning there is 10 premium chapter. In less than one week the amount grow exponentially. In the end after the story is being fully translated, the free user still have to wait for at least couple of years to catch up. Please at least bring back ads system combine with premium SS or else R.I.P. free user.

I love the ads system too. And 100 stone plus the daily free stones are not enough if you are following more than 1 novel or start following it late. Besides, in the future, they will make all novels into premium, right?

Just gonna say, 10 proxy emails can make a whole huge difference ... 1,000 starting SS, + 18-22 SS daily makes quite a sizable SS stockpile. Not to say it isn't time consuming... About 30-40 seconds to switch between accounts and do daily check in.. what's next vote.. power ranking vote.. then to locate the chapter... Pretty easy way to sidestep Qidian business model..

I've got 20 proxy accounts, but only rotate 10 of the accounts.. It's hella easy to be free on this website.

Tell me about it, it says 18 chapters a week, but i can only read 1 chapter per day as a free user, where's the ads? spirit stones? what 100 free stones? i didn't get any, 20 daily? i only got 5, not even enough to read 1 chapter, if this continues i will have to drop this novel as well.

True for now. i used to have old qidian in my old phone. The old version qidian can bypass ads or SS so i can read any chapter that being locked. They changed the way the chapter being loaded. The last time before i update, i can only see half chapter with old program. So enjoy while it last. More novel is going premium. Night ranger already stated that the novel will be premium in the future.

Dropped it until they get back to their senses. We should all stop voting power stones and the novel will drop in ranking. Translator will understand his folly

With the new update you can get ~25-30 stones per day, should be just enough to read the ones on the day.. But if 10 chapters comes out then out wouldn't be enough..

Assume only reading RtW is enough. However, the one i read were RtW(premium), LOHP (premium), TMW (premium), Night Rangers (soon premium), and others novels that need 4 - 8 SS per day or ads. Therefore, i was forced to drop a few novels for a few months. Once you put SS into premium novels, you can't go back being free user for that novel anymore (unless willing to wait a long long while).

66 locked chapters! It's insane.

For the first time in my life that I willingly choose to watch ads, I clicked on it and not watching ads that just popping in. But qidian no longer wanted that, they want money straight to their bank account, the concept of SS is just a façade to lessen resistance and fool others with their materialistic goals. It's easier to spend SS than money? It's all the same.

BadGenuisLv5

You bet, at first it was ten then later 50, I don't know maybe if possible they will lock all chapters.

Hey,now that you mention it, why is there no website that unlocked chapters at qidian then steal the chapters to share worldwide? Many sites like WW, volare, and gravity suffer from thief why not qidian. A least we can read without SS.

Just one word: Fascinating. I looked for something fresh as I was waiting for other novels to be updated... and oh my. After picking it up, I expected the usual tropes regarding reincarnation/spirit transfer stories but damn. I couldn't put it down for even a minute and after reading this you will feel that other novels MCs are simply lacking both in style, intelligence and character. So here is my review of it if you are intrested, and it's spoiler free. The Story - 5/5 I won't spoil anything so don't worry. The stories starts with our protagonist dying from a heart attack, from overworking, and his spirit goes to another world where he takes over a prince's body. The MC has no superpowers, no cultivating he is just a mortal thats all. But a mortal with memories from our modern world. Some reviews says his memory is overpowered but I don't think so, he utilizes all the basic knowledge that is taught in schools. Yes that may be true he remembers chemical formulas and mathematical equations but hell. If he was a diligent student -and as he is from modern china and was an engineer, that speaks from himself- so he should remember all of this. Hell even I could remember around 60-70% of the thins he brings up from school and it was fun reading about it again and I think I learned more new things from this then when I was going to school! So with the knowledge he has, he starts to develop his territory, introduce the population modern technology, industrialization, civic rights and much more, so if you would like to see how a little town with shabby, wooden cottages transforms into a city with brick buildings, this is for you. It's so satisfying to see how the world advances under his inventions. The other big plot are the witches. Yes, there is magic in the world, and as a feudal, medieval setting, they are being hunted. Badly. If they catch one, the mob may kill her on the spot or turn her over to the church which may be worse fate than death. Or MC sees magic as a new source of energy and possibilities so he wants to utilize the witches powers to help him achieve his goals and launch his people into a new, enlightened era. But to do this he needs to fight agains the church, his siblings for power and a hidden foe which when shows up our MC discovers the dark history of this new world... Characters 5/5 Just... real. There are no 2D characters here. Even the villains are interesting. Be it the church's priests, army and bishops, or Roland's (the MC) siblings. Or just the nobles in the beginning who are look down on him. Everyone has a backstory, every secondary character has a personality. The witches are all different, they are not just there to flock around the MC and be possibilities for a harem ending. No. They are people, they have distinct personalities and yes, as the story goes they may have to step back sometimes and not appear all the time in the chapters, but they never fade out as in other novels, other support characters. Every one of them has a role in the story and they are well developed (and develop throughout) and interesting. I don't want to spoil anything, so you should just start reading and meet them! P. S. : Oh yeah, also there are love in the story that develops slowly and realistically. And it's not a harem (but I would not mind it to be honest :D) Translation 4/5 The first half done on volarenovels by Roxerer was top notch, no problems with it at all. After it went to Qidian there were some problems, but they were minor things and they seem to constantly improve, mostly some editing problem as I see and its updated daily. Overall enjoyment 5/5 Best. It's just... oh gosh. It jumped to the first place in my favorite's list and this became my most anticipated novels. It's not for you if you want fights, super power ups, chapters of cultivation and heaven shattering advances. No. You will get a novel, written in western style that is more grounded in reality then most of the other Chinese novels. The MC is intelligent, knows what he can and what he can't do, what needs to be done to be successful. You will never be frustrated why the fck does the MC feels like a 5 years old with some kind of mental disorder. The witches are not omnipotent beings they are humans too that the novels also states every time and cleverly too. There are no 50. 000 years of cultivation retreat to power up to defeat a mega op giga boss just to offend somebody who stands behind that stupid guy/girl who was his/her master and told the MC every 5 second "you dare" or "you are just an ant before me" and the other, booooooring tropes. I can't praise his novel enough. Give it a shot, if you like intelligent stories and don't mind spending 3 or 5 chapters learning how to build steam engines, to speed up the mining process of ores to build canons and brick houses for the people, because it's just sooooo satisfying seeing the development of the world and the people living in it. Conclusion: 5/5 After going back to the other novels I read, catching up with the translation, I felt how much those other novels' MCs are lacking compared to Roland Wimbledon. They are just... much-much-much more... bland. Never using their brains, their logic capabilities, even if they are from 'another world' they just... never utilize anything they brought over or learned before. I started to realize how much more weak they are -in writing terms- compared to this novel and this novel's characters. I just hope the author don't mess this up and keeps it clean from all the other bullsh. t tropes all the way through. As it stands, this novel will be -at least in my opinion- one of the most well written, well thought out and most interesting novels. If you read my review until this point I thank you, and also, go and give it a shot, I hope I was able to help you pick up a good novel and you will enjoy it as much as I do.

Roland was sitting in an office, discussing the price of a steam engine with a businesswoman. The businesswoman said, "Your Highness, why are you fidgeting? Is the chair uncomfortable?" Roland replied, "No, I have recently been experiencing some discomfort after prolonged bouts of sitting. Perhaps, it's my hemorrhoids. It will be fine after making some adjusting. Don't mind it. Back to this batch of steam engines, the main purpose for them is…" "But, Your Highness. I smell the scent of photinias. Who was the one that brought such a vulgar flower here? Why are your maids so…" The businesswoman's sentence was cut short by Roland's unnatural facial expression. "Enough Margaret!" Roland appeared to be holding back something, perhaps the pain caused by his hemorrhoids. His body began to convulse abnormally as he stuttered, "I… Urgh! I… Ah! Am only… Huff puff… only a little…" The businesswoman carefully listened to Roland Wimbledon's explanation. With his esteemed status, His Highness still insists on negotiating with me, a businesswoman, despite being ill. What a responsible hegemon. There were slapping and smacking sounds…as well as a moan. Unsure if it was a mistake on her part, Margaret felt that she had heard the crisp slapping sound of flesh meeting flesh. However, it was so soft that she shrugged it off, thinking that she was hearing things. "Your Highness, your health is of greater importance. Why don't I come again another day?" "No… Well… I'm just… feeling a little… comfortable now…" Roland's body trembled a few times as though he was releasing something he had been holding back for a long while. He reached out his hand and touched the air. After resting his eyes for two minutes, he opened them again as he said with vigor, "I apologize, Margaret. I felt a little uncomfortable a moment ago but I'm fine now. Let us continue." "Alright, Your Highness," said Margaret with a smile, her nose twitching unnaturally. The smell of photinias turned stronger. What irresponsible maids. Margaret lamented unhappily in her mind. P.S. The smell of photinias resembles that of semen. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- found some interesting RTW fanfictions that were talked about in China.
