WebNovel
How does WebNovel's offline reading feature work, and can I save entire novels?
Yes, you can save chapters for offline reading—the app allowed me to download about 200 chapters of a fantasy novel without any issues. Just navigate to the chapter list and tap the download icon, but note that some premium chapters may require coins even for offline access.
Why does the search function take so long, and how can I find novels faster?
The search function is notoriously slow—I waited 15 seconds for a 'sci-fi cultivation' query. To speed things up, use the genre filtering and tags like 'reincarnation' or 'weak-to-strong' instead of relying on the search bar, which often freezes on a white screen.
My chapter pagination keeps freezing or forcing the app to close—what can I do?
This is a common issue where swiping right to go forward sometimes causes the app to freeze, requiring a force close. Try using the chapter list menu to jump between chapters instead of swiping, and ensure your app is updated to the latest version to minimize crashes.
Why do my font size changes reset between reading sessions, and how do I fix it?
Font size settings don't always stick, which is a known annoyance. To work around this, manually adjust the font size each time you open a new chapter, or try clearing the app cache in your device settings—though this may not permanently solve the issue.
How does WebNovel compare to other reading apps like Wattpad or Kindle for genre fiction?
WebNovel has a larger library of cultivation and light novels than Wattpad, but its aggressive monetization—ads plus coin-based chapter unlocks—makes it less user-friendly than Kindle Unlimited, which offers a flat subscription. The community features are also cluttered with spam, unlike Wattpad's more focused discussion forums.
