Novelpia - Unlimited Webnovels

The website offers you 100 free chapters for a first login reward on a pop up with a fake timer. You only get 3 chapters as a login reward, there are 100 chapters available with ads for any given novel, but they are not a login reward. The app regularly gives you a pop up claiming there are membership options from $1-$4.99, the only membership option is $6.99. Most paid novels are medium quality translations produced by AI, with obvious errors such as prompts, random #’s, and misgendering. Additionally, since it’s AI translated it’s impossible to tell for an English only reader whether major plot contradictions in the novels are AI hallucinations or just mistakes by the author. It’s not a level of quality you expect for paid content. The app itself is very buggy: The prompt to ask if you want to watch an ad to read the ad-locked chapters regularly fails to load. The page to check your free passes can’t be opened without opening the notice or forum page first. X-ing out of the fake promotion memberships regularly takes you to the page to purchase memberships instead. Overall, it’s a disaster of an app and it’s a real shame so many great novels have been locked behind it.

If I wanted the website in app form I would have just put the website on my phone screen. Make the buttons bigger and make going through pages of the app easier.

I used to read translations of Novelpia novels, but now I'm glad I can read straight from the source. While I'm glad to have to the global release, the app is still primitive. There is yet to be a point in using the app when you could just use the website. It feels like just opening the site on safari and doing "add to home screen". The reason in specific why there is not quite yet a point in using the app over just the website, is that-- There is no offline reading yet. That's the core issue, as to why there's not as much reasoning to download the app over the website, though I do hope that functionality were to come. . Another thing. I have found 2 bugs. 1.) This happens on other sites too-- but... If you press next chapter, there is very common chance that instead of starting at the start of the next chapter-- you start at the last part of the next chapter. So I would get confused, I would occasionally have to double check if I skipped a chapter on accident. 2.) As I'm reading a story, randomly-- the story could just exit to the main hub, mid-session. That only happened once so far, so I'm not sure if it's a bug, but the lack of a "reading history" makes it troublesome. If a reader did not press "favourite" on the book, and they don't remember the title, they're screwed-- and would have to hunt what they just read. . Eitherway. Good luck, app and website developers. I will keep reading because these authors are good, I just hope my experience becomes better.
