App Cheats you out of chapters
so far I like the two books I have read, however… the app cheats you out of a chapter when you wait eight hours if you have enough coins to purchase the chapter. It actually forces you to use your bonus coins. Instead of giving you the free chapter after waiting eight hours. I have screenshots. After you use your coins, it then gives you a message saying that the chapter was unlocked via timer… even though you used your bonus coins to open the chapter.
This is happened over and over no matter how many times I update !

The branded queen
Where did it go?
I went on the app as usual to read it and it’s gone completely. I went on earlier today and now it’s gone off the app completely, even the search bar won’t find it.
Please fix.

Terrible site
This is a scam you buy chapters then it wipes your account, and there is no way to retrieve or contact the site.
Don’t waste your time!
I’ve been reading the Branded Queen which was advertised as 196 chapters. Have just read that chapter and the story is unfinished and leaves you in midair. What an absolute waste of time! Originally I did not want to waste any money purchasing coins so I was only able to read 2 chapters a day. Today I succumbed and bought coins as I was desperate to get to the conclusion of the story. What a total waste of time! There are no further chapters but the story is totally unfinished. I have completely wasted 95 days on this book. It’s a total con.

Why I give 3 stars
The reason I only give a 3 is because although it’s a decent app with tons of stories..waiting 8 hrs to read a single chapter is crazy..or you can watch ads (I’m currently sitting at 11 ads out of idk how many)
Was 5 stars until 2 days ago!
Love the story The Branded Queen I have finished chapter 196 and I can’t move forward!
The story hasn’t finished probably only a few chapters left but I can’t go onto the next chapter. I want to know what happens!
Looking forward to continue when this is sorted!

No new chapters and no new stories
My biggest complaints about this app are 1. While there are some “Completed” stories that do have endings, others are marked as “Completed” but leave off in the middle of the story; 2. The “Ongoing” stories are never updated with new chapters; and 3. There doesn’t appear to be any new stories being added.
On the plus side, there is at least the option to watch ads to unlock chapters, unlike other apps that only allow the user to watch x number of apps per day to earn coins, and there are short ads every few chapters that allow the user to earn bonus coins, which I’ve also not come across in other apps.

Need more opportunities to get coins
I really like the app and the selection of stories it has. But to give 1 coin for an add is terrible. There is the daily reading but it stops at 60 minutes, I do like the chapter timer. There are apps out there that are free and some with only 1 add in between chapters.

Lame
Awful app. You pay to read and you are still forced to watch ads
Annoying money-grab app
I will delete this app when this book is finished. It takes every bit of 20 min worth of ridiculous repetitive ads to read less than 5 min of reading…horrible
Not enough opportunities to get coins
I really like the app and the selection of stories it has. But to give 1 coin for an add is terrible. There is the daily reading but it stops at 60 minutes, in my opinion from all the other apps I have let’s just say it’s sparse. I will have to put this app on the back burner and maybe revisit in a year or so to see if it has improved. There are great apps out there that are free and some with only 1 add in between chapters.

BELIEVE THE ONE STAR RATINGS!
More than two stars is a bot!! These stories Too expensive, too many ads/ad breaks required for a short chapter, the AI writing is sometimes decent but not edited, and after 196 chapters of one story and a month of waiting, the book is still not updated and I can’t finish the story unless I read several of the app’s other books “while I wait”, of course paying for those also unfinished stories. In the meantime I can’t go back to the original book I was reading because I no longer have access to the chapters I paid for unless I pay again.
This developer is scammy and money grubbing and has three other book reading apps that scam your money the same way (buy coins, still watch a ton of ads and never finish a book). There’s no effective reporting issues, no follow up and no satisfaction. The dev’s website is a glorified landing page and giving anymore money feels wrong. I’m over this developer and deleting.

Good books
I don’t like that it doesn’t give you the next chapter once you’ve waited the required 8 hours, if you’ve got any points. You have to use all your points up before free chapters. Good books though
Response from developer
Thank you so much for your feedback! We're glad to hear you're enjoying the stories. Regarding the 8-hour free chapter system, it currently prioritizes using your coins first if you have any. However, we truly appreciate your input and will consider improving this experience in future updates. We hope you'll continue to enjoy the app and stick with us!
First Story on App Has Annoying Issue
I just downloaded the App to read my first story. The plot is interesting but there is a doer annoying issue with the story. The characters keeping referring to each other by their first and last names in conversations. There were conversations between best friends, husband and wife, and mom/daughter brother. Real people don’t communicate like this. It’s annoying and unrealistic. Is this story written by AI? If so adjust the program. If this continues, I may delete the App. Too much money for me to be annoyed by this weird writing habit.

Updates
I’m enjoying the book I have been reading however I am now waiting for an update to an unfinished story. I don’t like that! There’s no timeline on when the update is coming, I find this very unprofessional.
Disgusted
I’m new to the app. The book I started reading the branded Queen. I’m at 25th chapter and the heroine since the first chapter has been beaten, raped, clawed or starved. What a horrible story! I kept thinking it get better, keeps getting worse. There are a total of 196 chapters. These chapters are short. So if you want to get through all 196 it’ll cost you around $50 US dollars. Save yourself the money, go your local libraries online site and check out free electronic books. Ive spent less money on a paper that has more content than these dragged out little stories.

Short chapters excess ads
I am now up to 33 ads just to read one ridiculously short chapter which means they are pulling in money and wasting my time.
Review
Well-written stories so far, but could use a little proof-reading, especially regarding pronouns.
Wish one didn’t have to wait so long (8 hours) for new chapters to be available, or require as many ads to load later chapters.

Too many ads
I have cancer and have been on chemo for 8 years, I like to read to keep my mind off of my health issues. You have to watch ads to read the next chapter, it starts out with 1 ad then increases with each chapter. I had to watch 30 ads which took me longer to watch than it did to read the 6 page chapter. So I decided to purchase “coins” I spent $30 on coins which didn’t get me very far. It’s absolutely ridiculous, I could purchase a paperback book for less than $10 and read it as many times as I want. The other issue is there’s very little dialogue, way too much inner monologue and scenery descriptions. And the first 1-2 paragraphs of the next chapter basically repeats the end of the previous chapter. So the first page in a 6 page chapter is just filler. I realize the author and the app need to make money but how much money do you need to make off of one person for Pete’s sake?! Especially someone like me with serious health issues and limited income? Oh wait maybe these authors are the digital nomads we hear so much about, traveling all over the world, constantly on vacations that the readers are paying for. Which is fine but having to charge each reader so much money makes me think you must not have very many people downloading the app.

They Technically Lie
During their ad they stated that all chapters are free. I expected that I would have to watch ads for that privilege and wasn’t surprised that I had to watch 1 ad for the first blocked chapter. However, every chapter after that I had to watch 1 additional ad every time. I am now at 18 ads to watch for a chapter that has two and a half pages to it. 18 ads.
I thought for sure that they would stop adding additional ads to watch, but I was wrong. Basically, they are trying to wear you down so you’ll pay for the chapters. Therefore they lied, technically, because they know that people are going to give up. I’m done, not to pay, but to leave.
