Update: Should I Remove the Subscription?

I’m considering making a major change to the website, and I’d like to hear what you think before I decide.

Right now, the website uses a subscription model. I’m thinking about removing the subscription entirely and making the website completely free for everyone.

The free version would be supported by ads instead of subscriptions.

So the question is:

Should I keep the current subscription system, or remove it and make the entire website free?

Option 1 — Keep Subscriptions

• No ads for subscribers

• The current subscription system stays

• The website continues to rely primarily on subscriber support

Option 2 — Make Everything Free

• No subscription required

• Everyone gets access for free

• The website would be supported by ads

• More readers could potentially access the novels without having to pay

I’m genuinely interested in hearing what you prefer.

Would you rather pay for an ad-free experience, or have everything completely free with ads?

Let me know in the comments. Your feedback will help me decide which direction to take the website.
