I was coming here to talk about this, it's a real pain to read now.
really weird reading experience
having the same issue with firefox when i long scroll it only moves like 2-3 lines making it hard to move to next chapter or move paragraphs when reading . chrome is better with scrolling but has the occasional frame tear that fixes itself when it catches up.
What they did is very stupid. They generate new font with characters moved around. Originally, byte 0x61 represents 'a', byte 0x62 represents 'b' and so on. But in their font they 'changed' the values, that represent each character. Don't know whether this font is generated only one time or for each chapter.
Calling it anti-piracy is very unwise, as it is quite simple to solve for those pirate sites. There are 2 solutions that they can use.
As to why you have problems with spaces and words, it's (as I assume) precisely because of that. And this problem should only be present in paid chapters. There are bugs in their anti-piracy algorithm encryption, or in their new font.
I only read free fanfics, and haven't encountered this problem, but from your description I get that bug happens, when you scroll down to next chapter? If so, then that means they generate new font for each chapter, and fonts become overlapped or sth.
damm i didnt expect it to be responded to but seems it isnt me alone thats having these problems. anyone know how to fix it?

MarioBros Excuse me, I'm going to intrude here. I'm going through the same difficulties. Every chapter I read from "Bloodwarlock: Succubus Partner in the Apocalypse", "Re: Evolution Online", "Vile evil hides under the veil" and now in the novel "Shadow Slave" has this buggy letter problem, probably in all paid chapters of all stories are like this. I use google translate to read here and all these paid chapters have this problem, probably because of the anti piracy system. Please fix this. This is a really annoying problem.

Yes it's completely broken and so far I've gotten no feedback from webnovel. I've spent a pretty penny on their books. Now I guess they don't want anymore of my money.
Win11 No zoom, no translation software.

Having the same problem. Came back to webnovel recently. Purchased some chapters. The purchased chapters have scrambled paragraphs, maybe 1 in 4 are unreadable. The problem only appears on the PC, the app is fine.
same here, looks like they don't care about PC users since their focus is their APP where they can force you to watch tons of ads.

MarioBros I'm also having the same issue. I thought it was only some chapters at first but its all paid books. Recently I've been reading the WSA and free daily books and the problem is still there.
