Webnovel

Expensive but worth it. There is so much variety on offer for novels and comics that sometimes the free passes and coin gains are too little but once you get used to it and get caught up to the latest chapters you can try to limit the cost by only reading a few chapters everyday. The competitions and daily/weekly rewards are sometimes fun too.

Good, but needs improvement. I got where I'm supposed to be able to get 2 or 3 fast passes a while back by voting. It hasn't been working. The stories are great, even with the spelling and grammatical errors. UPDATE: I tried the app again, and I still have a few issues with it. There's still issues w/not enough ways to earn the coins needed to read, it's a bit difficult to navigate, & I'm still not getting the passes credited like I should. I even spent a bit money to get more coins to explore.

Great selection of books with great content. My only issue is the fact that I get notifications for message alerts. And I get constant messages about someone gifting mega something or other to a book or group that I'm not even part of. Literally the "they spent lots of money see!?" It has become a dreaded nuisance that interrupts my reading and if I happen to be clicking the top of the screen at the time, literally takes me away from my book. As long as it's around my rating will go down.

Design is not intuitive and is difficult to navigate. Membership will not provided the rewards you sign up for. Stories are only partially free but are designed to be very expensive if you want to read more than 5 short chapters per day. Has a large variety of unique content so that there is a story for anyone. Overall can't recommend yet.

Functionally, the app works well (+5⭐). But, there's ad's everywhere (-1⭐). You open the app and there's an ad that transitions to another ad that you must manually close, but it makes you wait to do that. They also make you spend extra for the 'privilege' of buying the most recent chapers (even if they are several years old, -1⭐). Finally, their content is repetitive, and the quality of their stories and translations, in general, is mediocre (-1⭐).

Buttons are too tiny. The rest is fine. The button to view more info about a book in your library. It's so small that I clicked the book instead of the button 7/10 times. Also, some functions are quite inconvenient to access. When reading, if you want to skip to the middle of the chapter, the progress bar can be dragged. This is usually easier than just scrolling all the way BUT that progress bar is also frigging tiny too. I can only catch that bar like 1/20 tries. It makes things inconvenient.

This app provides excellent translations which can be accesses for free on a 1 chapter per day basis. However as you get to the end of a novel the final chapters are locked and you cannot finish the story you have been reading for months without paying an exorbitant price. For this reason the app is basically pointless and frustrating and I wish I hadn't bothered.

It's the most overly complicated interface I've ever had to deal with on almost any app I've had the displeasure of downloading. How are you meant to read any of the books? You can download them, yes, but it vanishes into thin air afterwards as it reloads the screen on mobile after doing so. If you want a good comic reading app, just use webtoon since it's so much easier to understand.

Would give a lower rating if I could because of all the glitches. It's a shame as there are some good comics and the translation is great on the comics I've read so far, but unfortunately, if you read more than like 1 or 2 comics or have to sign in again the buggy app loses where you got to, forcing you to start from scratch again, also there's many times that the app suddenly jumps you back a few chapters

Some good originals and authors on here. Platform itself tends to have lots of bugs, though. And the way the app functions could be better in so many ways but I've seen no improvements after a long time so I think what you see is what it will be. Really wish bugs could be fixed faster at least

Exceptionally super. I have been using this app for along time now. It's great. There are updates regularly. The stories are good. The change from daily stones to fast pass is irritating but other than that all are fine. The gradual changes in the app is really superb. I have a problem that is when I update the app sometimes the events that is happening just disappear. im no longer able to play that event.

Great app. The function ality of this app is great, it has improved a lot since I last used it. The business practice and the way to get chapters though still bugs me, but that too has improved as well, though the prices are still insane. Good luck ever finishing a story on here. I would rather buy the book or support the author I like on paetreon.

In the early days this was a pretty good app to read on with decent translations and good prices. Now however, it has plummeted. Almost all of the translations I try to read are machine translated with barely any editing, or the "translator" has completely changed the story, the trial chapters have been cut from 60 chapters to 40, and the prices have at least doubled. I don't know if someone has just messed up in management or if they were planning to do this the whole time, but it's bad. Update: Books are still being messed up with characters being changed, and incorrect events being added into the story. Even worse, the "translators" do not put in any effort to incorporate these intentional mistakes into the story. For example, a character will gain a great item or go through an event, however, this will not be found in the raws no matter how hard it is searched for. The "translator" will use this event for a few chapters to get through another made up event, and then throw any mention or knowledge about any of it out the window. While there are some stories with good and actual translators, the stories they take on are lost in the sea of horribly modified stories. Another problem with Webnovel is their "Voting Pool" where people vote on what book they would like to see translated next. For the past few months, it has been very obviously rigged by Webnovel for reasons that I cannot comprehend. There are at least 3 books that have far more votes than any other book in the pool, and yet they have been sitting in the pool for at least a month. For example, the top book in the pool currently has 4,097,294 votes as I look at it right now. The book chosen last week with the most votes has 155,308 votes. The book with 4,000,000 votes also didn't just get these votes within a week, because it was still in the Voting Pool on April 11th with 3,717,577 votes. I have clear picture proof with time stamps as well. This was done so blatantly that I can only assume Webnovel thinks everyone using the app is unable to count.

This app has made a lot of changes. I had not been on it since last summer and when I download it on my new phone realized they have made it difficult to maneuver. They no longer have the library which you could see the books you have add. And that feature to support the author gets tiring. The books are excellent but the need to do better.

Very good. I like being able to easily read the work of others. The only reason I didnt give that last star is how expensive everything is. One novel ends up being like 60-80 dollars if not using fast passes. And the other thing is most of the fast passes you get are for genres or other things you are not interested in reading and cant be used on the things you like.

My rating stays thhe same 1 star! I have so many fast passes available but can't use them since they're genre fast passes! If you want better ratings allow us to use the fast passes for the stories we want, not for other things. I want to read the books I've selected not ones I'm forced to read. Change that and I'll change my rating. Remember the saying "you catch more flies with honey than vinegar" let us the readers choose how we want to use our awarded fast passes! Thank you!

Updating my review after 6+ months of use: At this point, if I could rate negative stars, I would. Nothing works as it's supposed to, and it's all bait-and-switch. Most recently (as of 5/22) the Fast Passes used to unlock chapters (which say "usable for all novels and comics" right on the page) have been disabled for novels, as have ad-view unlocks and single-chapter purchases. Unless you can afford a $100 bulk purchase to buy the entire book at once, it's IMPOSSIBLE to finish reading any novel!

I like how the ads don't interfere to much with the reading. I wish you could get more fast passes with the points you get from reading. You only get 3 fast passes a day which is not much. I hope they change it to 5. But other than that there are a lot of great reading to read and get sucked into. Oh genre fast passes are useless....

This platform has a lot of different stories and works. Some you can read free whilst other you pay and get rewards etc to use to read the next chapter. As far as a reading platform goes I think it is okay. It is just that the navigation of the actual app is a little confusing for me. I am still having difficulty knowing where I find my library or stories that I have added to my library. Maybe it is just me and I will adjust to it. Otherwise I would recommend the app to others

Lots of fun, but very expensive. Love being able to comment while I read. However... I seem to be paying 3 times for chapters. Pay to read a select number of advanced chapters, pay to read each chapter as you come to it, then when you get to the end of that selected amount it resets and you have to pay all over again.

I love almost everything about webnovel they have a really smooth and manageable system. When reading I don't feel I like I'm on some random website but a polished piece of work. The only problem is that this site doesn't fit people that aren't able to pay for their services. While I understand the reason why I think there should at least be a way to get locked chapters without paying or waiting to get a pass that fits the genre of the book you are trying to read.

Love it. I found something to say. The missions on the website now only give points, it was the only way for me to get all site wide fast passes because it was changed to genre which doesn't make sense, people have a book they like to read and when you limit it to genre it stops them from reading more, it's not fun.

It's gonna depend on what you find and read. But if you actually search for quality story's you will find some. And the app is easy enough to use. Just be warned that there are stories that aren't meant for younger audiences, and there is no filter or safe search or even parental settings. So air on the side of caution.
