Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Arcnova at none against StoryVerse's shown. Arcnova also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). StoryVerse's advantage is ratings volume (29 vs 4) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StoryVerse sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Arcnova sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Arcnova holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StoryVerse has 29 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
