As promised, I have released about 200 chapters for free and now have over 430 chapters in total on the site. New chapters are released on the 5th, 15th and 25th of each month.
On these days, new free chapters will be added to the books that are currently available and read on the site, and updates will be made for newly published chapters.
Here are 4 major improvements that I am currently working on:
Homepage Design: A cleaner and more user-friendly homepage featuring popular books of today/weekly/monthly.
Book Views: You will be able to see how many times each book has been read.
Easier Book Search: I am completely redesigning the "All Novels" page. I am taking inspiration from a few different sites, but since I am writing the code from scratch, it will be completely unique and much more user-friendly.
Rating System: Registered users will be able to rate and review books.
Most of these features are almost complete and will be added in the first major update.
My next goals:
Reading Page Themes: Customizable themes that are pleasing to the eye.
Continue Reading: You can continue reading where you left off even if your internet connection is down (using localStorage and caching).
Reading Progress Bar: You can see how much of a book you've read and easily continue reading from where you last saved it with a single click.
I'm still new to coding, but I'm learning fast. I don't expect anything from you in this process — the fact that you're still following and reading the book I published a year ago really motivates me.
As you know, every account that ends with "02" is mine. My biggest dream is to build a place where everyone can read books freely and comfortably. The philosophy of what I do has never changed: Those who want early access can pay, but those who don't want to spend money can continue reading through regular free updates.
Thank you so much for reading until the end!
