  • Vjum that’s actually how I found webnovel. I was binge reading multiple novels a couple years ago, then a lot of translators put up notices that they are getting threatened with dmca or got offered ‘partnership’ with webnovel.

  • I used to gather 25 SS on a weekday and 35 SS on weekends. Now that they’ve removed the videos and lowered the amount for check-in (a flat 5 SS per day, 10 with multiplier) my daily amount has lowered to 20 SS per day. And to top it off, they made it so you only get 5 SS per reading time milestone. I would love for these changes to be reversed, but I feel that is unlikely.

  • Before this update I was gaining 25-35 SS a day. I wasn’t expecting them to remove the video option. I only know that I am disappointed.

    • You know that gift box in the bottoms right corner of the library. It covers the bottom right books options. That means I can’t vote or easily access the summary page of that book.

      • 1) I get signed out when I’m browsing the forum if I exit the app or my phone goes on standby.
        2) Forum doesn’t load completely first time I open it. I need to exit then reopen it. It loads the second time.

        • I selected the ‘time added’ option in the library and it just showed the same as the ‘recently read’ option. I checked the other options but only the ‘time added’ option is bugged.

          • I’ve got the same issue as 18Dragon and Thousand_Sunny, I just ignore it and read the books I want to read but if I refresh the app, they are sitting above all my other books again.

          • I don’t like the new design. They moved everything around and changed how the sorting works. I really liked when I could tap on recently updated and check what has been updated since reading last. I would then go back to my main page and choose what I wanted to read. Now it just rearranges your novels. Another issue I have is the chapter count changing to percentage instead. I don’t remember where I am up to in a novel by going, ‘oh I’m up to x%’. One more issue I found about percentage is that it changes with the amount of chapters posted which means you could stop reading a novel for a month or so and the percentage would have lowered. Whereas if you have chapter count the total chapters change and the chapter your on doesn’t change. I also dislike the new menu tab, it’s shuffled everything around and I found it a lot more convenient then the new one. I preferred the old one much better. Did I mention how they made it harder to see when your novels updated.

            Edit: forgot to mention the stone’s next to your profile picture. They replaced the symbols for the stones with words and added a really obnoxious TOP UP button.
            The main issue I have with the new reading page is if a novel updates, to find out which novel update you need to tap the three dots in the top right, select recently updated, tap out, see which novels updated, tap three dots again, select recently read, tap out. In the past you just tapped on recently read and saw all you needed to see. You would then tap the back arrow and be back to your library.

            Edit v2: the recently updated and library sections that I complained about may have just been a case of user error.

            TL;DR: I don’t like new design, change back to previous one.

          • I went into my inbox and found that the messages section is empty except for a blurb stating “you haven’t received messages yet” or something along those lines. I checked the notifications section and it didn’t look as if anything had changed. I have a habit of looking through my inbox every so often and re reading the events that have happened (mainly the comments). I was hoping someone could tell me what’s going on and maybe even letting me know how I could recover the lost messages.
