### 5/5 — Great so far

*2026-08-26, version 19.5.2*

So far this has been one of the best pay per chapter style book. The chapters are reasonable compared to others I have tried. I wish there were more ways to earn points without having to purchase them but all in all I recommend this one

Definitely addicted, I can’t put this down

### 5/5 — Ideas

*2026-08-26, version 19.5.2*

Love the books, but I wish there was a way to watch a video to read the next chapter or the option to pay monthly instead of having to pay for a yearly subscription all at once

### 3/5 — Avis

*2026-08-26, version 19.5.2*

Ya des histoires sympa

### 1/5 — Manque de point

*2026-08-25, version 19.5.2*

Devrai trouver une solution pour cumuler les point plus rapidement exemple cadeaux de point quand tu fini un chapitre ou tu passe plus de 20 minutes à lire

### 5/5 — Perfect.

*2026-08-25, version 19.5.2*
