5/5Reading app suggestion
Please offer watching adverts instead of charging $. My favorite reading app does this👍 Up to 4 adverts, 2-3 articles per chapter. I know App owners are getting good amount of $$ for those Adverts.

1/5Pay to Read
I read the first five chapters before I had to pay to continue. The first option was 2000 coins for $20. The cost to read the next chapter was 199 coins. The 2000 coins would only get me 10 chapters. I logged in to earn coins and received 5 whole coins. There were tasks I could do to earn coins, but the amount earned per task wasn't much more than the 5 coins for logging in. It would take days to earn enough coins to read one chapter. And this greedy app doesn't give you an option to watch an ad to read a chapter. Considering how greedy this app is, I would probably have to watch 10 ads for each chapter. This app is greedy and not worth the effort to download. I am going to happily delete it and read in other apps that aren't so greedy, let me easily accumulate coins for free, and let me watch one ad per chapter.

1/5App Lied for Download!!!
First review highlighted before I downloaded stated quite adamantly that one would not have “to pay to read”—LIE! The app description itself states “no payment for chapter download nor to read chapters”…ANOTHER LIE!!! After reading four chapters in the ad, and downloading app based upon fabricated “promises,” only to be hijacked/harassed immediately upon download by ads for coin bundles worth $20 for enough coins (2,000) to read a further 10 chapters. Of course, I would then need to purchase more coins to continue. This transaction would mean I would be paying $2 PER Chapter-a far cry from “I don’t have to pay or watch ads for new chapters. Am I dreaming?” Unfortunately, the answer to that question is, “Yes! Yes, you are dreaming.” So disappointing.

1/5Not Worth It
I read read the first 8 chapters then was asked to purchase coins. I went for the 3 thousand coins for $30. This got me through the first book of 11 chapters and ten chapters into the “second book.” It was interesting to me that if you start reading a book that says “A Collection “ at the beginning the title, you are unable to leave the book. It goes immediately to the next book in the collection. Totally different characters and storyline. Who’s to say whether I really would have wanted to read that book or not. Fortunately the coins I bought were a one time purchase rather than a weekly or monthly auto-renewal. I won’t stay with this app. Deleting immediately.

1/5They must be paying for reviews.
How does this app have 5 stars? Instead of paying for fake reviews, make the content cheaper. The library is free. I don’t mind paying a bit to read a good book, I buy books in kindle for 5 bucks all the time, but the cost of this content is absurd. Most stories are AI drivel, the same revenge fantasy over and over again, jilted woman ruins the man who took her for granted, with the help of someone new and wealthy who is secretly in love with her and wants to ruin the awful man. There’s only so many times I care about this trope.
