### 1/5 — Tricked and ticked

*2026-08-25, version 8.22.6*

The greed they want for these stories is a crime. Hands down.

### 1/5 — Scam! Big Scam!

*2026-08-25, version 8.22.6*

I subscribed to the $14.99 weekly read a the novel a couple of chapters later I was asked to buy coins to continue reading? What kind of scam is this? If I could rate this app zero stars I would. Beware! Beware! Beware!

### 1/5 — Way Too Expensive

*2026-08-25, version 8.22.6*

I’ve started a book which I really like but to finish it costs at least $150, that is absurd.

### 4/5 — TLDR: 4* added tap joy? Doesn’t work right, haven’t received a working offer yet, wasted hours

*2026-08-24, version 8.22.6*

I have played a number of tapjoy “offers” trying to get fast passes but have yet to get an offer that actually registers correctly. Great concept, poor execution. Maybe test this some more on the Dev side, and get it working correctly before launching to the readers. I’ll bump back to 5* when you do

### 2/5 — Unfair payment of their Authors

*2026-08-24, version 8.22.6*

I am a loyal reader! Yes! But there are a few things that bothers me! I follow a few authors on here and they’re all STRUGGLING! How when their books have millions of views! How i it that this app has probably made millions apon millions of dollars but the ones who make the app what it is today get paid scraps! It HIGHLY UNFAIR! I’m reading a book now with over 3 million views! Coins to read one chapter can cost you 3.00 dollars and above! This is one chapter when the book it self can have over a thousand chapter! And these Authors are barely making ends meet! How UNFAIR IS THAT! This app wouldn’t exist with authors!! DO BETTER WEBNOVEL! Without the authors you would not have an app! Do Better!

### 1/5 — AI

*2026-08-23, version 8.22.6*

This entire app is 98% AI generated novels. It wasn’t always like that. But as time goes on more and more stories are the same AI generated writing style. Not a single new story has any originality when it comes to how it’s being written. If you not here for things like, shadow slave or lord of mysteries I wouldn’t waste my time or money on this app.

### 5/5 — Newbie

*2026-08-23, version 8.22.6*

I have just started my first story on this app.  So far, it is wonderful! Not the Story I intended, but one that is very interesting.

### 3/5 — Fix this

*2026-08-23, version 8.22.6*

I don’t know what’s going on, but y’all just recently took away the chapters underneath the books in our library and I need you to put the chapter numbers back under there. It’s messing up my reading rotation. I need to be able to know how many chapters have been added, since I looked at a book please and thank you.

### 3/5 — Crashing

*2026-08-23, version 8.22.6*

This app keeps crashing while in the middle of a book. When it crashes I loose all my progress on said book too.

### 1/5 — Misleading consumers

*2026-08-23, version 8.22.6*

Sat down to read a book and it had duplicate chapters after buying a set in bulk and customer service in this situation was utterly awful and am frustrated as for how good the app is it still sees some of the most basic issues a app that involves “reading” should have had. If they would have had a streamline process for this it would be great and here’s your fix:

C) Problem with a novel 

- okay great what about it is the problem?

And if the user has any sense just have what they say reviewed

And respond with the old classic “thanks for letting us know could you do” this, this and this so we can fix the problem and we will get back to you with more information

Like how hard is basic support
