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'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.

Not only is this a terrific platform in general, but I could not be more pleased with how well and how promptly the team works to fix issues. Ads are as unintrusive as possible, premium membership is truly optional, with astoundingly little locked behind a paywall, and an all around excellent experience to use, I can say as both a reader and a writer.
