2 stars because it works. Not a good source of quality light novels. Those that I read were poorly written and just chasing popular themes of web comics. Two free chapters, term used loosely as the chapters contained a dozen to two dozen three line paragraphs, then costly to open up further chapters. Don't expect to find anything well known. Not for me but might work for others.

Thank you for the thoughtful, detailed feedback. We're continually expanding our catalog, and every title goes through human editorial review as we work to raise overall quality and variety. We also hear your feedback on chapter length and pricing, and we're reviewing how to offer more value. We hope you'll give us another look as we improve.

I would rate this higher but there are some things holding it back. First is the fact that if you want to read past what is free you would have to pay 100 coins each. The second is that if you run out of coins then you would either have to wait 14 DAYS or play the games that they offer, for little to no gain at all.

Thank you for the detailed feedback — we really appreciate it! Just to clarify, there's no need to wait 14 days: you can earn coins every day by watching ads and completing daily missions. We hear you on the coin system and are always working to make it better. If you have suggestions, we'd love to hear them at support@novelous.net!

I don't appreciate that tapping on a book now brings me to the last chapter that I read. I'm not trying to reread what I already read.

If you'd like to add any detail, we'd love to hear from you at support@novelous.net.
