  • EvilLoynis just tested from PC and ios, and works fine (%). It would be strange if this is only Android problem

  • Another brilliant update by WN developers that breaks the site. They have been slacking recently, not nearly enough of PC site breaking updates in a while, I even started to worry if they abandoned their plans of forcing users to download their mobile app.

  • Tsk, from lv 4 to lv 10? There is clearly no consideration for all the dummies (like me) who spent their time grinding in the past up to lv 7. Now lv 4 = lv 7 in term of grinding... Another great WN decision

    • Yes, every page refresh increases views by 10. I've read through one thread, where authors shared their views and collections count, and every single one had a proportion of around 0.3%. If we calculate it with x10 views multiplier in mind, then we get only 3% of people add novels to their library.

      • Trust me, they don't care. And debugger isn't annoying. They shipped it along with 'scrambled' text update. It's just some genius thought it would somehow prevent pirate site owners from analyzing the site. Simply disabling breakpoints completely nullifies this dumb 'anti-piracy' feature.

        • cvu1706 is dark mode not good enough? I can read for days consequently on PC, almost don't get tired.

          • ImJ2 where do this misconceptions come from? It depends on the author. Some can do, some can't. Besides, I'm talking about success, the thing that would (presumably) keep you writing your novel until the very end. What that has anything to do with "80% either just translated or stolen"?

            • K353 replied to this.
            • If you don't upload daily, then forget about achieving any success. If you really can't do daily, then do it consistently (every Nth day + consistent amount of chapters). Nobody can tolerate inconsistent updates. Web novels are drugs that should be consumed periodically.

              • They are never gonna do QoL or listen to suggestions, because they don't care. Why they don't care? That's a whole another story, that contains a ban possibility.
                Fanfic over 500 chapters? There are not many of those. At most you'd get multiverse hopper with a fraction of world you'd like to read about. I have seen some HP that are approaching 500 mark. AOT is pure disappointment, just forget it, this site doesn't have any good AOT fanfics.

                • duplicated browser tabs and started reloading, gave you another 1.2k views in a minute from 1 anonymous user.
                  It is widely known that WN multiplies each page refresh by 10

                  • BrianG9677 on PC you can write your own css (via browser extension), if red circle is distracting you so much. I decided to write my own css, cause couldn't stand this white trash design, that is destroying my eyes (+hid annoying popups that would never go away due to incompetency of devs)

                    • Without fast passes rewards were not very useful anyway. So we didn't lose that much. At least we don't need to spend our time every day with our routine to earn exp. It seems they are dropping the idea with exp and privileges. Everyone will just have 1 Energy Stone and 1 Power Stone and that's it.

                    • [unknown] where? I've looked through a lot of fics and there is nothing like that. The only such novel I've seen is "Attack on Titan: Mutant System".

                      • 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.
