So much wrong with this reply.

So the price for LOTM would be 12 coins2 cents= 24 cents1390 chapters = 334 USD (yeah, 56 USD make a difference).

That's still more than twice the cost of physically the entirety of WoT. I don't see how this helps your argument in the slightest.

Now, LOTM is 2.7 million words, which equals to 12 USD per 100k words (simple proportion, 334/27), which is the average for printed books, so it does seem to me pretty reasonable. In the end I am paying for someone's else work, and that work pay is on par with the industry standards, so why not?

How can you in good faith argue that a Webnovel's product pricing should be on par with "industry standard" (I'll get to that as well) when:

1. Webnovels are directly motivated to stretch their word count. Do you want me to start citing text walls of WN authors repeating the same thing 10 times in a chapter?
2. The traditional publishers overhead the cost of editors, illustrators, marketing, and retailing.

So, Wheel of Tine has 4.4 million words, and on amazon the complete set of 15 costs 180 USD (paperback, the one sold be Basi6 International, the first result of a quick search). Which makes the total of 4 USD per 100k words, so by compaeing this with every other average 100k word book do you think it is even remotely acceptable for the reader to buy anything else?

If you actually did your research it costs $165 dollars on Amazon (yeah, 15 USD makes a difference). Which comes to about 3.75 per 100k, which by the way is what you'd pay on kindle for a lot of books. So if you want to talk about "industry standard" or "acceptable for the readers", then I'd suggest you actually look at the prices of said industry.

So again, if we make a fair comparison (as if WN were printed, edited novels) then the prices are pretty much the same, I don't see any outrageous price here

You did the math yourself (even though you highballed the price) and found that it comes to $4 per the average book length, and a printed book at that. So no, $12 per 100k word for a Chinese TL webnovel is not "pretty much the same", and that's without taking into consideration the lack of proper editing and its purposefully inflated word count. A better comparison for WoT's prices would be Kindle's prices, which unironically are the industry standard now.

Ofc the focus then becomes the fact that WN are not printed nor edited, for which I agree then that there could be some differences in prices, but this difference is not as bad as you made it be (claiming WN as printed/edited novels with prices double than actual printed/edited ones, which is not true) and is much more subjective (for example, I don't really care about having my favourite novel printed, so I give the same value to physical and digital copies.

You don't seem to understand why I emphasized the fact it's printed when mentioning the price for buying WoT. If it isn't already obvious, it takes a lot of overhead for a publisher to print out these huge books.

The mere fact that a rigorously edited and printed novel of an acclaimed author costs twice as less for twice as more than a non-printed and translated Webnovel is what's astounding.
