My Quest for Free Diamonds
Alright folks, spent way too much time and almost lost my mind chasing after free diamonds in Chapters this month. Gonna share exactly how it played out, step by messy step. Honestly, feels like these apps make it harder every single update to get anything for free without paying, total ripoff. Prices keep climbing, forget buying them.
Heard through the grapevine about this supposedly new “coin farm” method working as of late October. Skeptical as heck, ’cause last month’s tricks got patched faster than you could blink. Figured, what’s the harm in trying? Booted up my older, kinda sluggish tablet first – safer to experiment there.
First thing I did was clear the app cache and data. Always do this. Apps hoard junk that messes with reward tracking. Uninstalled, restarted the tablet, reinstalled Chapters fresh from the app store. Logged back in, obviously. Immediately checked the “Free Diamonds” section. Usual suspects:
- Watch a video (usually 1 measly diamond)
- Daily login (takes a week for anything decent)
- Complete an offerwall survey (nightmare fuel)
But, nestled in there, saw this new tile: “Complete Collections & Earn!” Looked fishy, but clicked it. Took me to a screen showing different “sets” – like collections of romance scenes or outfits. Claimed you earned diamonds for finishing chapters within those sets. Yeah right, I thought.
Here’s where the grind started. Chose a “Romantic Getaway” collection. Had to play 6 specific chapters spread across different books. Not even full books, just specific chapters. Launched the first chapter. Couldn’t just skip through, had to actually tap through the dialogue choices, letting scenes load fully. Played normally until the end of the required chapter. Kept checking the collection screen after each one. Nada. Zero progress tracked. Was ready to rage quit.
Remembered the cache thing. Went back to my tablet settings, manually cleared Chapters’ cache again without uninstalling this time. Restarted the app. Boom. Suddenly the first completed chapter showed up in the collection! Okay, progress! But it wasn’t registering instantly after each completion like it should. Had to:
- Finish chapter.
- Close the chapter/book back to the main menu.
- Close the Free Diamonds section entirely.
- Re-open Free Diamonds, then the Collections tile.
Only THEN would it sometimes show the progress. Took hours, felt like babysitting a broken system. Played maybe 3 chapters from one set – got bored stiff. Saw another collection was shorter: “Mystery Starters,” requiring just 3 chapters. Switched to that. Same painful process: play, close, force close the ad section, reopen, check. Did this whole annoying dance for the 3 chapters. Finally, FINALLY, the collection status changed to “Completed!”. Tapped the “Claim 15 Diamonds” button.
And… nothing happened. My diamond count didn’t budge. Seriously almost threw the tablet. Took a deep breath, went into the app settings, force-stopped Chapters, cleared its cache one more freaking time. Opened it back up. Checked my profile. There they were! 15 measly diamonds. Felt like winning a battle against a tiny, annoying robot.
Key Takeaways from this whole painful experiment:
- Clearing cache/force-stopping the app constantly was mandatory. The tracking sucked.
- “New” methods aren’t smooth. Be prepared for jank.
- The reward vs. time spent ratio still sucks worse than 2020 toilet paper shortages. 15 diamonds after hours? Pathetic.
- Update changes things constantly. This trick felt like exploiting a temporary leak, not a reliable feature.
- Older device seemed slightly less prone to aggressive ad timers interrupting the process, weirdly.
Honestly, unless you have endless time and patience thinner than the plot in some of these stories, chasing free diamonds feels more like a punishment than playing a game. Developers, why make it this hard? Geez. But hey, it did eventually work, after enough fighting. Persistence paid, kinda? Mostly just felt exhausted. Good luck out there!
