I don't know who needs to know this, but if you're among the mass of people can't buy coins (*snorts* The irony!), stop wallowing and earn them (now that's more appropriate!). And if you're among the less fortunate people who live in countries where this feature isn't available, just use a VPN!
But please, PLEASE, stop going into paid stories and bashing the authors left and right for getting something in return for their writing! You say, "Thank god I read this before it became a paid story," and "Huh! You thought I was going to pay to read this!" and they literally translate into: You're not worth it. Your words, your story, and all that you've put into this book isn't WORTH it.
Nobody's work deserves to be put down like that (unless of course, it's a book romanticizing things it really shouldn't), and if you simply don't want to pay them coins for a read, just slither away without a sound instead of sneaking in to poison them! It's that simple.
On another note, I hope your day has been/is going great and you're healthy and happy- or at least, hanging there. ت
