### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-08-10*

Can’t complain

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 5-star review. We're so glad to hear that you were satisfied with our application and services. Our team is committed to delivering high-quality service, and your feedback is a great encouragement to us. We appreciate your continued support!

### 4/5 — scrolling function kinda broken

*2026-07-28, version 2.8.2*

scrolling function has become so funky lately :(. sometimes when i scroll its delayed and other times it doesn’t scroll at all. this must be an app-related issue because i tried on the website and it scrolls fine… this started happening when i installed the latest update.

### 4/5 — Translate

*2026-06-26*

Seria muito interessante poder traduzir os textos (usando o google por exemplo) direto do app, sem precisar abrir abas ou janelas.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your 4-star rating! We truly appreciate your support. We only have the English publication rights for the novels we publish, so unfortunately, we're unable to provide other translations. Thank you for your understanding and for sharing your suggestion with us!

### 2/5 — Cant login

*2026-04-27, version 2.6.6*

Im using my fb acc

### 5/5 — Karma system is fair

*2025-12-19, version 2.6.2*

The app doesn’t force you to pay money or shove ads down your throat. Daily logins and missions give you 10+ Keys for free every day. If you want to pay to buy Karma, there are no predatory bulk discounts encouraging you to pay the maximum amount for the best price—all options are 1,000 Karma = $5. This model is simple and fair for consumers, the best I’ve seen in the industry.

### 2/5 — Can’t use anymore

*2025-12-04, version 2.6.1*

I can’t use the app anymore. I had the app long before this subscription thing went on and when they switched I paid, I believed there was a price for a good book. Now I can’t, you pay a subscription fee and every page is locked behind a pay wall. For this price I’ll find it online.

### 4/5 — Please fix AI auto next chapter

*2025-12-02*

I am a user of this app and typically use ai to read a majority of my books this is a great app but lately the auto next chapter hasn’t been working leading me to have to flip from chapter to chapter manually I work 25/8 so typically I don’t have time to continuously run back and forth from my phone besides this issue I have none with the app great for creative readers and open minded people also bring back the Nicki voice for self reading AI please

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. This bug should have been fixed by version 2.2.0, but if you're still experiencing it, please open a support ticket (https://wuxiaworld.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/) and tell us which novel and chapter it is occurring on. A screen recording would be very helpful too.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-11-27*

If you love this genre, you will be more than satisfied with this site and find reasonable translations into English. So far, both the website and the app worked perfectly. Unfortunately, since the new update there are problems with the automatic playback of the audiobook function. Glad to fix

**Developer response:** We’re aware of the current TTS issue, and our team is working on a fix. We’ll notify you once it’s resolved. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. If you have further concerns, please reach out to us through our Service Desk at https://support.wuxiaworld.com/. Thank you for your continued support!

### 4/5 — No Offline Reading

*2025-11-24, version 2.6.0*

Unless you pay. You can use their currency thing to unlock an entire novel but you don’t get to download the novel to read it offline unless you pay money, which would’ve unlocked all the chapters.

Also, prepare for what’s effectively a second job with a daily login and unlocking chapters, featuring a 23 hour cooldown time (instead of just a regular reset tome) to unlock new chapters.

### 4/5 — TTS

*2025-09-18, version 2.5.7*

What happened to TTS voice aaron?
