Tell me about it. I was bingeing a story that’s been complete for awhile now, but every 3ish chapters there was the 11 hour wait time that required 6 gems to be bypassed every time. It totally ruined my experience and I felt like it was a rip-off.
So I’m not flagged for being off-topic, I already said I generally spend gems on both, but it depends on the story and what the bonus scenes are. I only spend gems on “what if” bonus scenes and the POV of other characters that don’t normally have a POV being read by the reader.
