HotNovel reviews
4.8 out of 5, based on 316 reviews.
What people like
- Lots of different story choices
- Books are truly free to start
- Good variety of stories
What they complain about
- Ads interrupt you constantly
- Coins cost too much money
- Free chapters are hard to get
Beauty and the beast
Always has been one of my favorites. Now with the books and how they bring out different perspectives I enjoy it more.
Problem
Is anyone else having issues getting their free chapters?
App
The app used to give us more free episodes, now there are two every 24 hours, but the last three days I have not being able to claim my free episode it not working
Review
I’d give this app a 5 star if the chapters were cheaper and if the app would unlock at least 3 chapters a day. I love reading, and I get into a good novel then boom you have to pay for it. Not everyone can afford the prices. And since I’m one of those people that can’t afford to buy coins I’m gonna have to just delete the app and it makes me sad.
🙂
Not having to pay money for chapters is my favorite part
I miss you
Great so far
Ok
It’s slow but ok so far
Good
God variety of stories
So far so good
I am really liking the story that I was offered as an introduction to this website. Hopefully it isn’t set up like the several other on line novel providers in that I can only read a few chapters before I have to stop reading until I pay out for a couple of chapters more in the book I am reading “for free”. Then I have to “jump through hoops” to be able to get a few more chapters “for free”. Then … to add in the other books that I am offered that are available for me to read in the same genre … thereby getting me hooked into other books. My first ever book that I got into in this manner was about 2/3 through the postings but then it just disappeared. It was no longer available for new chapters nor could I even find the book in the listings in the app. Extremely frustrating to say the least. However … I did find what I thought was the book in another online book “store” but it was confusing enough as the last thing I read from the book was different than where it “picked up” in the second book “store”. I had to stop reading that book in the end as it was too frustrating to continue. I don’t think that I ever finished the book either.
Too many advertisements
The novels are supposed to be free but after every chapter, which is only maybe a page or two there is advertisement that you have to watch in order to proceed. If you don’t want advertisement you have to buy coins. Each chapter is around 11 coins. If the “story” is long you would have to buy a lot to avoid getting bogged down.
Why does it kick me out
Why does it kick me out of the app then I have to delete it and download it again
Luna Kryn
So far so good
This app is honest
When they say books are free, they really mean it. No asking for coins in sneaky ways.
HotNovel

Fay
Reading my first book on here so far it’s good,

Like the books take to much time to advance to next chapter.
