Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chronickl at none against JoyNovel's 7. Chronickl also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). JoyNovel's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 33%). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
