  • I also didn't see an announcement and was wondering this. Seems to defeat the purpose of fast passes... The whole point was, ostensibly, to be simpler than Spirit Stones since it's always a 1:1 transaction...

      Ah, could be. Thanks! I figured that it was likely to be an unintended consequence and thus a bug. Presumably, the rest of the screen darkens to focus on the menu, but instead, the menu accidentally got darkened too.

        And actually, it seems to also just generally make the screen darker. Even comics get darker, which is usually not the goal of having a darker theme.

        • Hey,

          When I have dark mode on, it further darkens the screen when I click a menu (e.g. chapter rating, voting, or the vertical dots on library items). Unfortunately, this is often to the point that I can't see it. Particularly for chapter ratings. There's no real reason to make everything (including the menu...) darker when you open a menu, though darkening the background is defensible.

          Please resolve this so I can read at night again!

          Thanks!

          • I have the same problem as well

            • Chryiss I see. Thanks. I've so far been unable to get that to work :(. Regardless, I think the check-in bonus ad should be made more useful.

              • It used to be that there was a video watching option that gave a few SS and a check-in bonus multiplier. Now there is only the check-in bonus rewards which only gives +5 Exp. I'm not saying you need to bring the former back, but it'd be nice if the ad watching at least gave something useful. I don't know a ton about ad revenue, but I'd like to support WN in some way, and I'm not currently likely to buy coins. It's a bit hard to motivate wasting 30s of my time for 5 Exp. Maybe change it to a few coins or a fast pass?

                  In her defense, I think she meant town crier. Not that you were crying.

                  Edit: Err, sorry for necroing.

                  • I was just wondering if there is some way to download comics (or suggesting it as a feature request o.w.). The normal download button doesn't seem to do much, as I discovered when I tried to read them on an airplane after 'downloading' them.

                    • I'm having trouble figuring out when my bonus coins expire in this new version. I used to be able to click my SS amount to get to a screen that said X SS expires in Y days. The same screen no longer appears to have this info.

                      Does anyone know where I might find this information now?

                        Interesting. And presumably this adjusts ratings accordingly? I.e. deleted reviews don't count against you? Which means that ratings should essentially be entirely disregarded?

                        That's annoying, but does explain some of the novels I've seen on here.

                        • I haven't seen any ads and have also read several chapters of novels (like First Order) with a bag in th top right. I also have not gotten any points. This seems to suggest that either a bug fix or a better explanation of the new feature is in order, so it seems quite reasonable to file a bug report.

                        • Uhh... The fact that authors can delete reviews in the first place seems... Worrisome? Shouldn't they only be able to flag them and ask the platform to delete them?

                          • More monster factory please!!! I miss this story :(
