Still have to wait daily for coins or pay

To be honest I knew from the start that you’d still have to “pay” somehow but you only get like maybe 4-6 free chapters and then you have to use coins to pay for a chapter. It’s honestly not that great as it seems to be. Every story I’ve started only reached 7-9 pages and the 9th page usually doesn’t have ANY writing in it. 39-42 coins ISNT worth paying for. There are some options like watching 3 ads to open a chapter but even that has a limit. Some said they make a free chapter every hour but that’s complete bull. Stories aren’t half bad but need work on grammar and punctuality as well as not separating the paragraphs away where it makes ten pages but really could be 5 pages. Or there’d be no space in each paragraph and it’ll be 6 pages. All in all this is more of the episode app than an actual Novel smh.

Worst writing ever

I subscribe to read the novel Lola Luna in English. The novel is written by a teenage boy whose first language is clearly not English, and even though this is an expensive subscription to read books, the app didn’t bother to hire a proper English as a first language editor.
There are a ton of misspellings, use of language that is not how English speakers speak or write, character names are confused with each other, which makes it an interesting experience, trying to figure out what character is actually in the scene, and totally immature, interactions between the male and female characters that would never happen in proper adults. They flirt like 13-year-olds. Which is the age I imagine the writer is. So many problems with this whole set up, and a complete waste of money and time.

Good until it changed

The app was great with waiting an hour for a chapter but they’ve updated it at some point and now that doesn’t exist anymore and I have to watch 3 ads to read a chapter. I’d rather wait the hour!

Good app

This is a good app and you don’t need to spend real money. You get bonuses daily for reading.
I have just completed Hid Deepest Desire and although there are grammatical errors and it could do with a thorough proof read, it is a good story.
I do have a problem though because when I completed it a box came up asking me to write a review of it and rate it for an extra 50 bonus points, but it would not let me post it to be able to claim them. Very frustrating and annoying. I was well within the word limit so this was not the problem.
Please sort this out as it is not fair on the readers for this be promised and then not given. Maybe then I will give it 5 stars.

Luna lola

I read the little bit that I was allowed to read since Im not a subscriber and it seemed very good. These short resumes are offered to entrap readers to subscribe! I would like to read the rest of the novel but I refuse to pay high prices charged by these types of subscriptions. This is a total scam…

Riddled with AI errors

Even on the ads you can see AI chat directions/comments, so they aren’t even looking at the AI generated content at all. It is just churned out

Hello! Thank you for highlighting these issues. Could you please contact us by email support@alphanovel.io and specify the details? Thank you for your patience!

Incredibly expensive for very poor quality

I have no idea how this app has such a high rating. The book I was reading, that’s advertised heavily in other apps with ads, had typos, grammar mistakes and the wrong names every few sentences. There was zero editing to even ensure the names of the main characters were accurate.

The chapters are very small and the cost is exorbitant for what you get. In total the book had approximately 104,000 words (this is a 7 hour read, which is on the small end of average word count for adult fiction novels.)

****The cost to read this entire poor quality book? $56. Thats absolutely ridiculous. ****

The story was interesting, but I could go to a library, a store or an app to buy a book thats more than interesting, for a fraction of the cost, AND doesn’t get the main character’s names mixed up every third sentence - which is a very low bar if we’re being honest.

STAY AWAY. Or pay premium, scammy, prices for a remarkably low quality product with little care put into it.
