Let's do some math.. At current pace, we're getting 2 chaps per day ( I'm assuming no bonus chapters ), so approx 60 chaps per month. By purchasing 500ss privilege, you get 99% discount, so each chapter is 1ss. So total cost is 500 + ( 60 * 1 ) = 560ss. Now, without privilege, there's no discount. Each chap costs approx 6-8ss, I'm taking 7ss per chap. So 2 chaps a day gives us 7 * 60 = 420ss. So privilege is actually costlier. But, if chapter price increases, or we get bonus chaps, that would change. If it was 8ss per chap, it would give us 8 * 60 = 480 9ss => 9 * 60 = 540. So, in my opinion, purchasing the privilege ain't that bad. As long as author keeps steady release rate, decent chapter size, and maybe some bonus chapters once in a while, the overall cost would be almost the same. And let's not forget the main benefit of privileges.... You get early access to chapters.
