Ratings and reviews

A great way to read up and coming authors, especially in the nascent LitRPG genre, as well as isekai (from another world) and more conventional fiction genres like fantasy and sci-fi. But because it's an open platform, there's a huge range of skill (and editorial prowess), so be sure to pay attention to the reviews for each story. Added bonuses: filter out gen AI slop, "to read" list, curated suggestions based on your reading history… It's a great app for any reader!

I've heard good things about this app but unfortunately I'll have to give it a minimum score for being unable to create an account. the page had black text over dark background image, and when I finally was able to work out that eyesore, the checkbox for accepting terms what is impossible to fill. I'm sorry it didn't work and I feel bad giving a "one" here, so hopefully it will be usable in the future.

I'm using the free version, there is a premium one as well. There are lots of options in the settings (kinda blew my mind that it was all free!); background, text, text to speech, even how your ads are displayed! (surprisingly less obtrusive than you'd think) So why 3 stars? When using the audio feature it randomly crashes. Not sure why or if it's accidentally my fault. It's not happening enough to stop me using the app but occurs enough that I felt the need to warn those of short patience.
