TTS ENHANCED

Hey, i recently downladed the app, here is a few suggestion. The app doesnt go to the next chapter unless its open( with the premium pass) . It will be great if it could work. Also it will be great if you could add a timer for lecture, for example, i like to read 30 minutes before bed.
Finaly, the TTS ENHANCED (Evan or Nicky) is okay but it sound so robotic. I think if you can update it for an even better voice quality it will be great. For reference andrew-us on the web novel app sound perfect.
Thank you!
