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!

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.

Fing amazing app!!! I'm used to reading online and even though its not exactly a hassle, the app is sooo much better! Being able to bookmark and add stories to different libraries is a game changer, all the summaries/chapter count/patreon info is easy to find, and the options for how you want to view adds, chef's kiss! 10/10 all the way!
