There may be method to this madness, though. Partway through CURSED BLOOD, I wanted to see what other stories were available on the app, to decide if I wanted to spring for extra coins. I finally managed to access the home page, and selected another story… …about another woman, fleeing her past, running a bar in Minnesota, where a handsome stranger comes in and makes her a life-changing offer. Same plot, no werewolves. On reading the summaries for the (very few) books available (to be fair, there might have been more, but the interface kept me from finding them), I spotted more similarities. In the stories themselves, I noticed the word “architecture” used frequently, always to refer to something other than buildings. There was a lot of repetition in the text, summarizing major plot points as if the author was afraid readers wouldn’t remember what they’d read. The style was the same in each book, using lots of partial sentences to convey urgency, for example. Either there was a heavy-handed editor at work here, or all the stories were written by the same person. Why wasn’t that person credited? Not even a pseudonym? Using an app to create a single-author collection isn’t a bad idea. Why not be upfront about it? Unless the stories weren’t composed by a person at all. AI software has been trained on the work of millions of authors (without their consent or any compensation, sadly). That software has been improving so rapidly that last month’s output bears no comparison to what it can do today. The uniformity of these books’ plot and style and the absence of any author’s credit could be accounted for by various human shortcomings. But I can’t dismiss the suspicion that these stories were not written, but programmed. ### 3/5 — Ok app… *2026-04-15, version 2.1.1* Stories seem to be decent. I don’t mind watching adds to read. The amount of adds gets a bit much. What I don’t like…even if you pay to unlock chapters they still may you watch adds every couple of chapters!!!! Why!?!? You got the money let me read in peace! ### 3/5 — Interesting *2026-04-14, version 2.1.1* But I only got through 2 chapters before it said: error, somethings gone wrong. ### 1/5 — Even of you pay to read you still get ads in between chapters *2026-04-14, version 2.1.0* What a scam. Pay per chapter isn’t a new concept, and while it may not work for everyone, it’s fairly common to pay for coins to unlock content. However, this app absolutely taking it too far and forcing users to watch ads in between chapters they have already paid for. I’d pay money to read, but I am not going to pay money AND watch ads. I’d go find another app, there are plenty with the same selection of stories. ### 1/5 — Ads even when you pay plus maybe AI writing? Avoid this app *2026-04-12, version 2.1.0* I honestly have no problem paying for chapters. What made me uninstall was primarily that almost every chapter I paid for also made me watch an ad. You don’t get to double dip on me. And then also, as I read further, I started noticing signs of things I tend to see in AI writing which I won’t support. ### 2/5 — Incomplete stories and no response from support *2025-12-30, version 1.9.4* I got 256 chapters into Whispers in the Dark and then it ended without any conclusion to the story. It just stops. It’s clear from the writing that there should be more chapters, but they aren’t there. I paid to get remaining chapters and was very frustrated that I wasted my money. I don’t mind paying for good content but I do mind that I didn’t get what I paid for. ### 1/5 — Horrible Customer Service *2025-11-04, version 1.9.4* I bought a book and added it to my library, but the next day, the book was no longer available on the app. I have emailed the help center 6 or so times requesting a refund and I have yet to receive any form of response. Is this seriously how you treat your customers?! The worst customer service I have dealt with. I would give them negative stars if I could. ### 2/5 — Mediocre and always pressing for cash *2025-10-20, version 1.9.2* The books really could be run through a spelling/grammar check that could clean up a lot. It’s annoying to the flow when sentences are repeated or missing words or just don’t make sense. But worst is they call a “chapter” a collection of about 10 pages so a book is hundreds of chapters long and even when they are unlocked they will still pop ads in while reading, and the cost to unlock a chapter is just not worth it. Not for unedited junk. ### 1/5 — Do not install *2025-10-07, version 1.9.2* If I could give a zero I would. I downloaded the app after seeing a pop up for Fantales app to read “The Unseen Heir”. After about 50 chapters, the book disappeared from my library. Did a search for it and not even showing up in the app. Sent 2 emails to their help desk with no response. This happened just after they did an update. I finally just deleted the app. Reinstalled it and found the book I was reading. Now a month later, 300 plus chapters in to the book and it’s disappeared again from my library and again from the books the app has. Emailed again. No response from them AGAIN. And guess what, update was just done the night before. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled several times, but “The Unseen Heir” is not showing up. This book has over 600 chapters. I’ve paid for some chapters too. Don’t get this app no matter how appealing the book might be. I’ve got a feeling this may happen a lot and they are getting free money and readers not getting a complete book (and book is showing completed) ## Frequently asked questions about Fantales ### What kind of stories can I find on Fantales?
