I am really loving the stories. I’m reading on this app. My problem comes because I cannot afford to pay to read. I have to watch ads in order to see the next chapter. That gets really frustrating when the app takes all of my credits rather than just the amount that the chapter needs. On top of that, it quite often makes me have to repay for chapters that I’ve already unlocked. And additionally, the price you have to pay for the chapters seems a little steep when the ability to earn credits is so limited. There have been several times when I have not even gotten to read one chapter in a day because of the tight limits in the higher prices. It needs some balancing. I have absolutely no problem watching ads to earn the right to read. I wouldn’t mind watching an ad or two for each chapter, but it frustrates me when I have the time and desire to read and I’m limited so severely. Other than the frustrations with being able to read credit-wise, it’s great. Keep the great stories coming!

I understand writers need to get paid for what the write. I completely agree. I write myself. But when you add up all it takes to pay to be able to read a full story you’re paying hundreds of dollars for A SINGLE book. I’d love to give it five stars but the app itself prevents it from getting that. There needs to be more ways to unlock chapters. And they need to be cheaper. I did the math for the story I really want to finish and it would cost around $60 just to finish it. One single book. It doesn’t even cost that to get a hardcover version of books. Irritated with the layout. Love the stories.

The stories are entertaining. I don’t think any stories are proof read for spelling errors but other than that they are good stories. I enjoy reading things written by authors that are new or unknown. Yes you probably will spend real money to read the stories in full. BUT if money actually is given to the authors of the stories then it is worth it. Some of the “books” don’t seem like a single book. If they were printed my favorite book currently (still being written) is already at 129 chapters, that’s a series right there. The $20 a month for vouchers and coins (used to unlock chapters) is a great deal for a book series that I was able to read. Of course you can read more than one book at a time but I’m invested in this story now. The lack of 5 stars is only because the stories should be proofed if possible for spelling but that’s it. Really 4.5 stars.
