### 5/5 — Need offline reading

*2019-09-13, version 1.0*

It’s good great after searching I found the novel I needed but it’s online 

Fix offline reading too please

### 4/5 — Need help

*2019-09-12, version 1.0*

Love the app the stories just keep coming and are enticing but now when I load the app all I get is a loading indicator and then some message comes up that I can not read because I don’t know Chinese languages and it never loads even when I know I have good internet already reinstalled still won’t work

### 5/5 — Slow

*2019-09-12, version 1.0*

I love the novels but today when I open the app it’s really slow I can’t open any novel due to its slowness please fix it thx

### 4/5 — This is awesome

*2019-05-25, version 1.0*

I like this already and I just got it, but I wish I knew which chapter lines up with the manga when it’s a 300+ LN but other than that I like this.

### 5/5 — I like it

*2019-05-19, version 1.0*

There are a surprising amount of novels that I found interesting so I think this’ll keep me occupied for a while

### 5/5 — Time to unlock chapters~

*2019-05-12, version 1.0*

Just doing this so I can read. 
This is probably why this app is rated so high.

### 1/5 — Would Not “Recommand”

*2019-05-10, version 1.0*

I normally don’t write reviews for apps, but I thought I would write one for this because of how ridiculous it is. While the app does provide free stories, it only lets you get past a certain point in the story before it requires you to make a five-star review or you can’t continue. While this doesn’t really do any harm, I think this is just a really shady way to get good ratings, especially for an app that’s not deserving of the rating. In addition to having several translation errors (“recommand” instead of “recommend” for example), the app has a pretty confusing layout and tended to freeze when I used it. Again, it’s not a horrible app and the stories are pretty fun to read. It’s just not perfect and it’s shady, man. Would not “recommand”.

### 5/5 — Good so far

*2019-05-01, version 1.0*

I’ve recently downloaded this because WN is trash but I’ll keep everyone updated if it’s good

### 5/5 — Why?

*2019-04-28, version 1.0*

It asked me to give 5 star rating in order to read on.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2019-04-27, version 1.0*

I’ve been looking for a way to read the web novels without all the sudden website collapses. Though I do like the way the app wants you to rate them. I got a good chuckle out of it
