A lot of authors have done that. 
But I guess that must just be the ones I follow.

Yeah maybe.
This is daylight burglary 
Why the heck u gonna charge ppl for an episode which is free to readš
I remember a story which ended yet there was no completed tag in that story. So I was like prolly author gonna make 1last chapter wit how MC ended up wit one of the LI n there will be a glimpse of her future.
As usual within few days there was something like this - Pay 8 gems to get early access.
Luckily I didnāt n when I finally saw what the chapter was I was so much relieved that I didnāt wasted my gems. It was a collection of few scenes of that story. Thatās it. What type of stupidity is this?
U want us to waste gems for thatš¤¦

It reminds me of patreon, how some creators let patrons have early access to whatever they produce. Compared to that, the price and wait time is a bit skewed on the high side. If it was like, one gem for six days or five for one day, that would be a bit more comparable.

I really donāt like this feature at all, if they wanted a way to support the author why not just make a āsupport meā choice? why do we have to pay gems to simply read the next chapter? I miss the old episode where we didnāt use gems on community stories.

Thatās exactly my thought too. I donāt even see what this is accomplishing.

I agree with you. I miss where you could read the new chapter for free too, and this early access is terrible. Thereās actually a support me choice at the end of of chapters in most stories and the prices are around 5-15 gems.

I TOTALLY agree with you, When it was just the āwould you like to support the authorā thing, Iām totally fine with that because its just a way to get your story out there, heck Iām going to use that as well. But CHARGING gems to read your next chapter seems unfair and will actually make me not want to read your book at all.
Personally, I think that this gem stuff is getting out of hand RESPECTFULLY.

Agreed. If every chapter is on early access, itās going make the reader stop reading the story in my opinion.

I donāt like it or dislike it. Neutral. Itās only a week soā¦ not too bad. I like how you do get to read that episode ad-free (which doesnāt make a big difference in my opinion because Iām patient enough to wait sixty seconds) but itās not something I would choose unless that story is incredibly addicting and the author updates very rarely. So, overallā¦ I think its okay with me. Not something I particularly like but not something I dislike either.

I donāt have a problem with it. I am a webtoon reader and I spend way more money on Webtoon merely because they charge more for a chapter.

If the story is so good, I donāt mind spending money. 
Itās a guilty pleasure, but I am not guilty at all.

So I have never had a problem with EA but I found EA in a featured story. This really weird for me, I never expected one in a featured story. 
It was wait 3 hours or 10 gems. I would rather wait at that point as it is not worth it since 3 hours isnāt that long.
But the part that bothers me is the price like I donāt know why they picked that of all amounts for only a three hr wait.

Maybe it was a mistake but definitely weird. I donāt know if it is a 11hr wait but it gave me 3 or something but why do they think someone would pay for that?

Thatās just worser than the early and 11 hour wait thing! 10 gems just to read the next 2 chapters or wait 3hours!? No thanks! Episode must been adding early access to featured stories as well, so itās not just community stories. I know that early access is optional and author can put it on new episodes but adding early access on featured featured and charging more is a big NO NO!
I hate it, but agree. I wouldnāt ask for any more then 5 gems.
