  • Current chapter selection is horrible for some novels

Hey guys. I usually read on my iPad, and the current chapter selection is horrible. By that I mean, when you have to click on the chapter button on the right of the screen, then click on the next chapter title. Especially now in the last week or so because it seems to freeze for a few seconds before letting you click on the actual chapter title.

I remember a while back, I went to read some random novel, and the set up was completely different on this site. There was actually an arrow button for both next chapter and previous chapter at the bottom of the screen. It was there for like a week before disappearing.

A lot of the novels on this site, especially ones with female main characters have "chapters" that are in reality only like a page long. Having to go through the annoying process of opening up the chapter menu and selecting the next chapter every 20 to 30 seconds is a horrible design.

If you're wondering why I don't just keep scrolling down until the next chapter pops up, that's because I use iPad's reading mode since I hate the options of font available from the site itself. Using the reading mode, it only shows the text of the current chapter.

In short, please just add "Previous" and "Next Chapter" links on every chapter. Every other site does it because it's the cleanest and most efficient way to go about things. Not really sure why you insist on such a around about way to move on in chapters.

EDIT: Should emphasize, the website is freezing pretty badly this last week when I click on a chapters name to change to that chapter. Takes close to 10 seconds for it to actually switch text to that chapter. Used to be instant, more or less. I use Safari on my iPad, which hasn't been updated or anything. Only thing I can think of is that something has changed in the site itself, causing this highly annoying bug.
