Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stage1st Reader at none against 鬼才引擎's 1. Stage1st Reader also leads on ratings volume (13 vs 1). 鬼才引擎's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
