## What is Yutou Novels?

Yutou Novels is a reading app built around a comfortable reading experience. Most works are in Chinese, and the app's interface is available in nine languages, including English.

BOOK STORE: FIND A GOOD BOOK AT A GLANCE
• Browse Male Lead and Female Lead fiction separately, and refresh "Recommended for you" on the home page anytime
• Rankings: Most read, Most favorited, Most viewed, New releases, Completed and By category
• Ongoing serials in many genres: urban, xianxia, fantasy, mystery, history, romance, historical romance and more
• Each book's page shows its blurb, tags, rating, reader reviews and "Readers of this book also read"
• Search by title or author

READER: THE WAY YOU LIKE IT
• Adjust font size and line spacing; the text re-flows instantly
• Two page-turn effects: slide over and page curl
• Switch between day and night reading in one tap; dark appearance supported
• Open the table of contents anytime; your place is saved automatically
• With the interface in Traditional Chinese, titles, text and comments can be shown in Traditional characters too

AUDIOBOOKS: READ ALOUD BY AI VOICES
• Works in Simplified Chinese that have synthesized audio can be listened to, with four AI voices to choose from
• The current paragraph is highlighted and pages turn by themselves; the next chapter follows automatically
• Speed from 0.75x to 2.0x, and a sleep timer (end of chapter, or 15 / 30 / 60 minutes)
• Keeps playing on the lock screen and in the background, with lock-screen and headphone controls
• Audio is synthesized by AI and needs an internet connection; works in Traditional Chinese and imported books can't be listened to yet

PARAGRAPH COMMENTS AND REVIEWS: CHAT AS YOU READ
• Every paragraph has its own comments; see what others say about it
• Write reviews and rate books; like and reply to comments, sorted by newest or most popular
• Follow the authors you like, and tap "Request update" on ongoing serials so the author sees you're waiting
